With or Against

He that is not with me is against me; and he that gathereth not with me scattereth abroad. —Matthew 12:30

Here is the “bottom line” Are you with Christ or against Christ? There is no middle ground. The issue is (1) to become a Christian; (2) to become a better Christian daily; (3) to help other Christians to be better Christians, and (4) to help those who are not Christians to become Christians. We gather with Him, or we scatter abroad.

This is our real “program,” faith in Christ, fellowship with Christ, faithfulness to Christ, fruitfulness for Christ. It simplifies life to one thing, just to be a Christian, a believer in Christ, a follower of Christ, a witness of Christ. Anything less is not enough. “With me” – there is our position; “gathering” – there is our practice. “Follow me and I will make you fishers of men.” Following and fishing!
