. If you're just a "Sunday Christian" you're not a Christan at all.
. We are what we truly are before God alone.
. When you are reading the Bible, God is speaking to your soul.
. However long you've been a Christian, you need a daily reading of God's word.
. Is the Bible a priority to you? The world is always preaching it's vain philosophies to you. Yet in the Bible is TRUE preaching.
. Do not make your daily bible reading a legalistic duty- make it a true delight, it is God's word!
To conclude, talking to my pastor after fellowship, he said he was talking to the Iranian sister in Christ the last Sunday, he said to her "At this church we don't do stupid gimmicks or entertainment, we exposit God's word" to which the Iranian sister smiled and said "And that's all you need"
Ok-ish cartoon of my pastor (in RL he looks younger and has a slightly different face structure but the suit is bang on) and generic Iranian woman to show you the scene above.
This is the way I too understand God! The bible its self, is his holy word. I know not EVERYDAY is easy to live as a Christ follower, but that strive, drive, determined power of anointing, to WANT to walk holy, to DESIRE to live righteous, THAT is it in a nut shell for me. Ive noticed others even here on SW who blatanly try to ruffle the feathers or nit pick hairs iver Gods words. I often enjoy sermons that make you think, parables that teach you lessons, and people who DO walk and talk Up right. I want to get involved in bible studies, i wqnt to make time for Gods awesomeness! I DESIRE TO AQUIRE the fire in my bones pouring down! Life hasnt been easy, and the bible tells me its gonna happen. My faith doesnt depend on good works or being a good person..thats sunday school answers! I deserve meat and tators, a full blown growth to my spiritual walk..somedays it is a crawl..but i know EVERY TOUNGE shall confess and EVERY KNEE shall bow down to Jesus! I KNOW FOR A FACT his ways and thought is higher..i just wish my crazy human mind can consume his infinite wisdom on why others cant get it together! Not to judge, but to understand them..they make it a priority to preach hate, disgusting vile threats and hurtful speech..yet say tgey know God..but how can one say i love God, Yet their mouth is so perverse? Jesus said their mouths are corrupt and their hearys are so far from me..i wanna be closer to Jesus.
