daily prayer

    Great morning! How are we faithing today? It's hard to maintain our Godly demeanor isn't it. It's tough to walk piously around the hoodlums. "If all these people would just leave me alone I would be better off". Think about that. Isn't that rather selfish? Isn't that kind of like having a popsicle and hiding it in your coat? Nobody knows anything...for a little while anyways, until you get sticky and start attracting flies and dirt. Stop trying to be holy and trying to appear perfect. You ain't and you cant. Do we watch and control our behavior? Well of course we do but those things do not make you holier, gooder or even closer to God. When we seek God and his ways because we believe and love him the result is we get better but if we act better to earn love and to get closer to God we will fail because that is opposite of how all this works. Don't read into this to far. Act on what you read in the Word. Do the things that Jesus told us to because we love him and know, even when it seems contrary or weird, that Jesus loves US and tells us for our own good. He doesn't tell us like a tyrant does but because he knows if we don't know and walk with the world, we will have to deal with many more things that suck. Don't make this more complicated or harder than it is.



Php 2:14-16   Do all things without murmurings and disputings:
 That ye may be blameless and harmless, the sons of God, without rebuke, in the midst of a crooked and perverse nation, among whom ye shine as lights in the world;
  Holding forth the word of life; that I may rejoice in the day of Christ, that I have not run in vain, neither laboured in vain.

2Ti 4:2-4  

 Preach the word; be instant in season, out of season; reprove, rebuke, exhort with all longsuffering and doctrine. 

 For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine; but after their own lusts shall they heap to themselves teachers, having itching ears; 

 And they shall turn away their ears from the truth, and shall be turned unto fables.
