Judging from one article I read about spring fashion this year, it seems like nudes and flesh-based colors are the way to go. At least in make-up, that is:-) Some would call those colors neutral---you know, colors that you can match with anything? I started thinking about that word neutral and how it could apply to our spiritual life. One thing I'm absolutely persuaded: wearing neutral-colored make-up or clothing is definitely not the same use of the word when applied to our walk with Christ.
You see, one meaning of "neutral" is to be with out bright or strong colors. Another meaning though, the one that applies to our relationship with God, is to be in the position of not supporting either side of an argument. While I am not saying Christians ought to argue, I am saying there are definitely some issues where we cannot remain neutral. Though I am not going to take the time in today's devotion to cover all of these issues, I want to ask you one question: have you tried to remain "neutral" in your stand for Christ? Because there can be no middle ground in your walk with the Lord, trying to remain neutral will only cause you frustration. Girls, you're either on the Lord's side or your not. If you are a Christian but have chosen to remain silent or neutral on issues that define our Christianity, then you're really not on the Lord's side.
So, wear the neutral lipstick this spring; don't wear neutral Christianity.
