Raking It In!!
This morning in church a brother was talking about there being two different types of Christians a pitch fork christian and the rake christian and I have heard this before but today it just really turned a light bulb on in my brain. He said the pitch fork christian is the one who listens to the teaching and pitches it out to everyone else saying "THEY really needed that!" or "THEY had that coming." but the rake christian is the one that says "I really needed that." and sees the changes that they need in their life and are willing to try to make those changes. I really would like to be a rake christian. I know that admitting my own wrongs is not always easy but I truly want to be able to look in the mirror and clean my self up and do what God requires of me. I want to have a willing mind and attitude to do these things. This is what is on my mind so I just wanted to I guess share it. I hope everyone has a great week and that God blesses you all!!!!

Wow, I atually had never heard those examples. I would have to say that I'm the same, a raking Christian ;)
I agree with you. I have this before but sometime it just really hits home. I hope that I can always say that i'm a raker and not a pitch fork.
I love that!! I've never heard that before but I love it. Growing up I never was good at using the pitch fork. The hay went everywhere or I'd end up hurting someone with it. So I'd always go for the rake. Looks like I'd better still stick with the rake!!
I have never heard it put that way but after reading your blog I want to be a rake christian too I agree with what you said about cleaning up my own self and being what God wants me to be. Love you Sister Charlene
