Well it's Monday, Went to bed feeling like a used rag. Woke up this morning feeling no better. Becky had her new child come today (Addison). She had no trouble with the transition at all which did not surprise me.
I'm at work feeling like tish, but I refuse to miss work unless I have no control over the matter. ( Which would have to be in the form of two broken legs, and uncontious), I love my job even more I love my boss. Christy had been great to me, I have not had a supervisor/ friend since I left Mass. She is my boss, my friend, and very much a lady.
Just thinking

Why is it that we as Christians shrink back when it comes to sharing our faith? People wear crystals around their necks and if you asked them about it they are more then happy to share with you about the “healing power they possess”. Ask a Jehovah’s witness about their religion and they make no bones about telling you why Watchtower is the greatest publication since sliced bread. And the same can be said for every religious movement since Jesus. Everyone of them have something in common they all deny the deity of Christ. Oh, some call him a good teacher. Some say he’s just another man from history.
Many Christians are swayed by their arguments, about what the Bible says. Why? Because we as believers don’t take the time to sit, and read what the God’s words has to say. We would rather watch t.v watch a movie, spend time on the computer etc. etc. Why is that we don’t find the time to pray? Read and study the Bible?
I’ll tell you why, because somewhere along the line we have taken a back seat, We have somehow got the idea that to know what God’s word says is for the Pastor to teach us. It is easier to listen to someone tell us what his/her ideas of what is written for everyone to read instead of reading it for ourselves.
This is why many Christians get caught in false doctrines, false religions, and false teachings. Because the person they met have “knowledge that the scriptures said this or that” How foolish!! That is exactly why Cults are so propionate in today’s world. Because the Church is to busy having bake sales and other things to look at their brother or sisters in Christ, and teach them. That is why the cult’s flourish in other country’s because the body of believers is saying it’s not my responsibility let the younger members tend to that.
Wake up Church!!!! If we continue to sit back on our duffs the church will continue to loose it’s strength. The Bible say’s there will be a great falling away. But I believe it’s because people are loosing faith in their first love. The Church isn’t a place to go and see Martha and get her recipe for strawberry jam, or to talk to Gene about his wife best friends affair with her uncles, cousin’s brother!
It’s a place to come and worship the living God! It’s about finding out about a God who loves us so much that he sent His only begotten son, So that we can have eternal life! What is wrong with the church today? I’m glad you asked. She has gotten away from what is important and sidetracked by the things of this world.
Saint’s the things of this world are only good for one thing starting a fire, because at the day of judgment when you stand before the Lord your God and he asks you what you did to further His kingdom and what makes you think you deserve your place in heaven aside from your salvation in Christ,
What will you tell Him?
