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.

"A CHRISTIAN LIFE" BY DAVID MCMILLEN
A CHRISTIAN LIFE
DO YOU THINK IT IS HARD TO LIVE A CHRISTIAN LIFE? IT IS IF YOU ARE NOT GIVING ENOUGH ATTENTION TO JESUS. I KNOW THERE ARE MANY THINGS OUT THERE THAT CAN TEMPT YOU, YOUR FAMILY, JOB, FRIENDS AND ESPECIALLY SATAN. YOUR JOB IS TO SEE THAT THEY DO NOT DISTRACT YOU FROM KEEPING YOUR EYES UPON JESUS.
A LOT OF PEOPLE THINK THAT CHRISTIANS DON'T HAVE FUN. I HAVE MORE FUN AT A GOOD BIBLE STUDY CLASS THEN I EVER DID AT A POKER GAME. I HAVE MORE FUN IN CHURCH THAN I EVER DID SITTING IN A BAR DRINKING. SINCE AT ONE TIME I PLAYED POKER FOR A LIVING AND WAS AN ALCOHOLIC, I KNOW WHAT I AM TALKING ABOUT. IT IS WHERE YOU CHOOSE TO BE.
LIFE IS WHAT WE MAKE IT. LET PEOPLE KNOW YOU ARE A CHRISTIAN BUT BE SURE YOU ACT LIKE ONE. I AM PROUD OF MY LOVE FOR JESUS. I WAS IN SALES MOST OF MY LIFE AND AT FIRST WHEN I WOULD TALK ABOUT JESUS, PEOPLE WOULD PRETTY MUCH LEAVE ME ALONE. THE MORE I WOULD MENTION JESUS, JUST IN CONVERSATION, THE MORE AT EASE PEOPLE BECAME AROUND ME. THEY KNEW WHERE I STOOD AND IT GOT TO WHERE IF SOMEONE WAS HAVING A PROBLEM, THEY WOULD ASK ME TO PRAY FOR THEM. I AM NOT ONE OF THOSE PEOPLE WHO SAY, "OH YES, I WILL PRAY FOR YOU", AND THEN FORGET ABOUT IT. I WOULD PRAY FOR THEM RIGHT THERE IN THEIR SHOP, THEIR STORE OR WHEREVER WE WERE. PEOPLE WANT WHAT WE HAVE BUT THEY JUST DON'T KNOW HOW TO GET IT. IT IS OUR JOB TO TELL THEM.
TEMPTATION IS A HARD THING TO OVERCOME. HEBREWS 4:15 SAYS THAT JESUS "was in all points tempted like as we are, yet without sin." WE HAVE HOLY SPIRIT IN US AND CAN CHOOSE NOT TO SIN. I HAVE HEARD PEOPLE SAY THAT GOD TEMPTS US TO MAKE US A BETTER PERSON OR TO SEE IF WE WOULD DO THE RIGHT THING. DON'T EVER SAY THAT BECAUSE IT IS NOT TRUE. IF YOU NEED PROOF, READ JAMES 1:13 WHERE IT SAYS "Let no man say when he is tempted , I am tempted of God: for God cannot be tempted with evil, neither tempteth he any man:" THE BIBLE SAYS THAT SATAN IS THE TEMPTER. THAT IS WHAT THE BIBLE CALLS HIM IN MATTHEW 4:1-3 WHERE IT SAYS "Then was Jesus led up of the Spirit into the wilderness to be tempted of the devil. And when he had fasted forty days and forty nights, he was afterward an hungred. And when the tempter came to him, he said, If thou be the Son of God, command that these stones be made bread." LOOK AT WHAT JESUS SAID TO HIM IN VERSE 4, "It is written, Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of God." JUST REMEMBER THAT SIN STARTS IN THE MIND AND YOU CAN'T BE TEMPTED BY SOMETHING YOU DON'T THINK ABOUT.
JUST KEEP YOUR HEART AND MIND FOCUSED ON JESUS. WE SHOULD ALL BE LIKE PAUL WHEN HE SAYS IN GALATIANS 2:20 " I am crucified with Christ: nevertheless I live; yet not I, but Christ liveth in me: and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by the faith of the Son of God, who loved me, and gave himself for me." IT IS HARD TO SIN WHEN YOU ARE EITHER IN CHURCH, READING YOUR BIBLE, PRAYING FOR SOMEONE OR JUST TALKING TO JESUS. IT IS ALL WHERE YOUR FOCUS IS. WE ALL NEED TO GET SO CLOSE TO JESUS AND SO TUNED INTO HIM THAT WE EVEN DREAM ABOUT HIM. NOW THAT IS A GOOD NIGHT.
PLEASE TELL SOMEONE THIS WEEK ABOUT THE LOVE JESUS HAS FOR US AND WHAT HE DID. THEY JUST MIGHT RECEIVED THE GIFT OF SALVATION.
GOD BLESS YOU ALL
