Name Tags: You are… A Chosen Generation

You are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, His Own special people, that you may proclaim the praises of Him who called you out of darkness into His marvelous light.

1 Peter 2:9 (NKJV)

Q: What does it mean to be chosen by God?

A: It's the greatest blessing in all the world… and the greatest responsibility.

Q: What would it mean if Jesus came back now? 

A: It would be Earth’s most climactic moment and mankind’s most climactic conclusion.

Actors, models, and talent for Christ: 

As your Father’s chosen generation, what responsibilities MUST you choose?

  1. To remain in VIGILANT ATTENDANCE for the King of king’s imminent return… and continue in your Father's business.

  2. TO BE HOLY and SET YOURSELVES APART from prior generations of Christians, who neither looked nor acted like Jesus.

  3. TO RISE, SHINE, and GO unto all the world as the Good News ambassadors for Christ: with love and kindness as your calling cards!

  4. TO ASSIST WIDOWS, ORPHANS, and STRANGERS; people who are confined and can’t get out: to visit them and let them know they’re loved.*

  5. TO INVEST YOUR LORD’S TALENTS in the world; to multiply them and glorify Him; to find His lost lambs who've been led astray.

  6. TO LEAD A NEW CHURCH, not defined by walls, where worship is seen in Spirit and Truth. Your only rule is obeying Jesus.

  7. To be the generation that cares more about pleasing God than pleasing people: where His Smile is the one you most desire.

* People can be spiritually poor and confined, too, as evidenced in the Letter to the Lukewarm (Laodicean) Church in the Book of Revelation.

** Countless fans have been bought, sold, and enslaved by media merchandisers using the examples of greedy, confused, or careless celebrities, who have also been misled. Actors, models, and talent for Christ can rise on the dragon's back to reach many of these lost sheep.

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.
