Genuine

   What if I told you that you could attain a brand new Rolex timepiece (around $5k) for only $250? While there are some that save up for years for something like this, you could get a Rolex as well for much less of a price. What would be your probable response?
   Im not a mind reader but I could probably guess that you would think that this "Rolex" that Im referring to was a complete fake, not something that you would ever invest your hard earned money into. Why? Because your hard earned profit is real, so why would you use it on something of a non genuine value?
   When it comes to Christians, why would anyone want to spend their time, something they can never get back, working to become a non genuine Christian? What does that mean? In the words of the President of the ministry, some become a "great pretender." They may go to church and attend Christian events but their hearts may not be in good standing with God.
   The point, if you are going to spend your time in church, in the Word, etc, do it with the intention of becoming like Christ, otherwise you are pretending! Your fruit that you bear through studying and sanctification should be genuine as well! Dont "do" Christianity just for the sake of calling yourself a Christian, but GENUINELY seek and follow Christ!
