About
I AM AN 80 YEAR OLD MALE, BORN AGAIN, CHRISTIAN WITH A LOVE FOR JESUS. I DO NOT GET OUT MUCH ANYMORE BUT FIND THAT TELLING PEOPLE ABOUT THE LOVE JESUS HAS FOR THEM IS NOT ONLY WHAT WE ARE SUPPOSED TO DO BUT SOMETHING THAT THE WORLD NEEDS.

KEEPING YOUR THOUGHTS ON JESUS
KEEPING OUR THOUGHTS ON JESUS
DO YOU REMEMBER WHAT THE SERMON WAS ABOUT AT YOUR CHURCH LAST SUNDAY? THIS MIGHT SOUND LIKE A DUMB QUESTION BUT YOU WOULD BE SURPRISED AT HOW MANY PEOPLE JUST CAN'T REMEMBER. WE GET SO CAUGHT UP IN OUR EVERYDAY LIVES THAT SOMETIMES WE ARE NOT REALLY THINKING ABOUT JESUS. I KNOW BECAUSE I WAS ONE OF THOSE IN MY YOUNGER DAYS. I COULDN'T WAIT TO GET OUT OF CHURCH, GET HOME AND GET READY FOR THAT FOOTBALL GAME, OR GO FISHING OR JUST ANYTHING BUT BEING IN CHURCH. YOU ASK ME WHY I EVEN WENT??? I WANTED EVERYONE TO KNOW WHAT A GOOD CHRISTIANS I WAS. ISN'T THAT SAD. I HAVE SINCE ASK FORGIVENESS FOR THAT.
I WILL TELL YOU HOW I OVERCAME THE TEMPTATION OF THINKING ABOUT OTHER THINGS IN CHURCH. I WOULD DO WHAT, I GUESS, MOST OTHER CHRISTIANS DID AND WHAT I SHOULD HAVE BEEN DOING ALL THE TIME. I WOULD TAKE MY BIBLE AND FOLLOW ALONG WITH THE PREACHER AND TAKE NOTES. THIS KEPT MY ATTENTION ON WHAT IT WAS SUPPOSED TO HAVE BEEN ON. ANOTHER THING WAS TO SET A TIME AFTER CHURCH TO STUDY WHAT THE PREACHER HAD BEEN TEACHING. I WANTED TO MAKE SURE EVERYTHING HE SAID COULD BE BACKED UP BY SCRIPTURE. THAT IS WHAT WE ARE SUPPOSED TO DO. THE BIBLE WARNS US ABOUT FALSE TEACHERS.
WHAT WE ALSO HAVE TO DO IS TO MAKE SURE WE ARE NOT JUST TRYING TO CATCH THE PREACHER IN SOME KIND OF MISTAKE. I KNOW PEOPLE LIKE THIS. THEY THINK IT MAKES THEM LOOK GOOD TO CATCH A PREACHER IN A MISTAKE. THEY WANT PEOPLE TO THINK THEY REALLY KNOW THE BIBLE. IT IS GOOD TO KNOW THE BIBLE BUT NOT TO USE IT AT THE EXPENSE OF OTHERS. SOMETIMES PREACHERS AND TEACHERS GET A CHAPTER OR VERSE WRONG STRICTLY BY MISTAKE. WE HAVE TO BE CAREFUL OF WHAT WE THINK OR SAY.
WE ALL NEED TO GET IN THE HABIT OF TAKING NOTES AND STUDYING AFTER WE GET HOME FROM CHURCH. I KNOW THAT SOME PEOPLE CAN'T DO THIS BUT YOU CAN AT LEAST MAKE TIME DURING THE WEEK. THIS WILL KEEP YOU IN THE WORD. TAKING A TRIP THROUGH THE BIBLE IS A FUN TRIP TO BE ON, YOU CAN TAKE IT ANYTIME YOU WANT TO, AND IT DOESN'T COST YOU ANY MONEY. IT CAN BE VERY REWARDING AT THE SAME TIME. HOW GREAT IS THAT FOR A FUN TRIP.
GOD BLESS YOU ALL.
