Losers: Who Decides?

There is one Lawgiver, Who is able to save and to destroy. Who are you to judge another?

James 4:12 (NKJV)

For the Lord is our Judge, The Lord is our Lawgiver, The Lord is our King.

Isaiah 33’22 (NKJV)

Who decides on Earth’s winners and losers?

  • In sports, it’s points, gains, moves, and officials.

  • In industry, it’s profits and progress.

  • In church, it’s books, degrees, and charisma.

  • In entertainment, it’s roles and awards. 

Supremely and irrefutably more, it’s the Father, the Son, and the Spirit.

Actors, models, and talent for Christ: Consider 3 things:

  1. Don’t buy into anyone’s opinion (especially self-appointed critics) about your status as a performer… or your entrance into this mission field. You aren’t a loser if your path takes time. You aren’t a winner if you book quickly. You’re no more and no less than a Christian– walking out your Captain’s Great Commission… as talented ambassadors for Christ.

  2. Don’t judge people that churches call “sinners” (since the Lord detests pride pointing fingers and ‘Holier than thou’ condemnation), ‘For everyone has sinned; we all fall short of God’s glorious standard’ (Romans 3:23). Great harm has been done in the Name of Christ, but Jesus, the Man, didn’t work that way.

  3. Your Father knows the desires of your heart… (and your prosperity brings Him pleasure!)* I believe you’ll feel, see, and share “success” as rising stars on media’s airwaves. But the look and timing of this “success” is up to the God of perfect timing. Therefore, keep faithfully moving forward in expectant and “no-matter-what” faith.

God is the One, truly the only One, Who decides about winners and losers. You, my gifted friends, are destined to win!

NOTE: God is my Ghostwriter. If what I write is good, it’s from God. You may see notes to 'Actors, Models & Talent for Christ.' If you think you're not in show business, think again. Shakespeare said, 'All the world's a stage and all its men and women merely players.’ Mostly true. But you're not merely players. You are messengers and ambassadors for the King of kings.
