i heard a sermon a while back that was talking about how sometimes we get too caught up in what were "doing for God" and our image of being a christian rather than our relationship with God and giving all we have to him.
we focus too much on the rules and traditions of chrisitanity. choices are a big part of your life but your not winning your way into heaven by making "good choices"
you can be the nicest person in the world, alcohol free, smoke free, drug free, sex free, and everything else, but that doesnt matter. its your heart thats counts
theres some people that think if they dont cuss or drink or smoke then theyre being a good christian but thats not that the definition at all. we need to do more.
we need to seek God and love people
Mark 7: 6-8 says:
'These people honor me with their lips,
but their hearts are far from me.
They worship me in vain;
their teachings are but rules taught by men.'
You have let go of the commands of God and are holding on to the traditions of men."
and its sad to say but sometimes i feel that alot of christians are this way.
they pretend to be all spiritual but when theyre with certain friends they will let go of everything they believe and act a complete different way
it doesnt matter if none of your fans or people at church see you act this way because God is the one who judges if you get to go to Heaven or not
so please quit trying to impress men and try to impress God. offer up time to God. spend time in prayer and in the word.
we have so much time in a day and we spend what? 5-10 minutes reading the bible and we only pray before we go to bed?
lets try and offer more than that to our Creator and Savior.
feel free to message us about anything
if you need prayer or just someone to talk to =]
thanks!
God Bless
