Wow, I know it has been a long time since I have posted anything on this Blog. Facebook has taken up the extra time That I wanted to use for the Blog. I am now realizing, or should I say being convicted, for the need to voice my heart, and the Blog seems to be the more appropriate forum.
So with that being said, my hope, my prayer is to post my convictions, and hopefully point, or lead people to the cross. I want to share a couple of paragraphs, that we read yesterday at a mens breakfast yesterday at West Monmouth Baptist, that really convicted me.
People will believe the message when it is delivered by a messenger whose life demonstrates that he knows God and takes God seriously.
If we are Christians, we have living in us all of God's provision for a broken world. Christ, living in us, will make a difference through us. If people around us are not being affected by Christ, we must consider whether there is sin in our lives hindering Christ. If so, this indicates a heart problem. Christ is not truly our Lord if he is not having his way in our lives. If we are Christians and no one's life is being changed because of our presence, we have a immediate need for repentance.
Are there people who are now a part of Gods kingdom because you shared God's good news with them? Can you identify people God placed in your life to encourage you to persevere in your walk with God? Allow God to make you that person in someone else's life.
