Enemies of Christ

Philippians 3:18-19
"(For many walk, of whom I have told you often, and now tell you even weeping, that they are the enemies of the cross of Christ: Whose end is destruction, whose God is their belly, and whose glory is in their shame, who mind earthly things.)"

This verse ought to be seen, not as an opportunity to judge those around us, but rather as a challenge to examine our own lives. A chance to take the beam from our own eye first before helping our brother with the speck in his own eye.
Notice in this verse that Paul does not say that these people became enemies of Christ and then made their belly their god, etc. Rather that list is a description of the enemies of Christ. Doubtless, they did not set off to become enemies of Christ. It is not in most people's nature to intentionally be an enemy. Yet by their "soft choices", their decisions to put themselves first, they became enemies of God.
In looking at my life, I must ask myself - who's desires am I fulfilling? God's? Or the fleshly desires of my own hungers? Do I find glory in things that God sees as a shame? Where are my thoughts? On the Heavenly? Or on the earthly?
The are vital questions to ask and answer honestly. "Enemy of Christ" is a title to be avoided at all costs.
