“Avoiding the Breaking Point Moment” by Andrew Ellis


How many of us decided at a particular point in our lives to make changes? How many of us have had a breaking point? A breaking point in this context is the moment that propels us to alter our life. A similar thing happens to each of us as Christians. 

As Christians, we reach a point in our lives where we recognize the difference between right and wrong. There is a need to change our lives. We get to a point where we see the need to be baptized. We see the need to make a change in our lives. 

We should not get to the point where we need a situation to motivate us to change. Each of us should be looking for improvement regularly. We need to act with a sense of urgency.

We should be urgent when it comes to our faith. We need to be ready for anything. In the book of Matthew, Jesus spoke about the importance of readiness. Matthew 24:42-44 says, “Therefore, stay awake, for you do not know on what day your Lord is coming. But know this, that if the master of the house had known in what part of the night the thief was coming, he would have stayed awake and would not have let his house be broken into. Therefore you also must be ready, for the Son of Man is coming at an hour you do not expect.” 

Do not wait for that breaking point moment to start on the path of change. With God, all of us can get through difficult times.
