Are You Being Truthful With God and Yourself?

If people's thinking is controlled by the sinful self, there is death.
But if their thinking is controlled by the Spirit, there is life and peace.
When people's thinking is controlled by the sinful elf, they are against
God because they refuse to obey God's law and really are not
even able to obey God's law. Those people who are ruled
by their sinful selves CANNOT please God.
Romans 8:6-8

A relationship with God through Jesus Christ
produces changes within us. It produces change
in our thinking, in our desires, in our focus and in our path.
If.. we seek him first, and really mean what we say
and say what we mean. A relationship with God is not
a game we play when we want to feel religious, or when we
are in trouble. It is a daily, ongoing, dedicated, sold out
experience where we truly seek God first.

Many people say they know Jesus but do not spend time
showing that they do. They put everything else in their lives
first, and God is a afterthought. The word tells us this
is rebellion, and that rebellion is worse than witchcraft.
(1 Samuel 15:23)

Every relationship we have in our life takes work.
If we are married, it is something we have to put time
and effort into. We have to be thoughtful about the other
person, be aware of their needs, and wants, and try to make
our lives with them thrive.

When a person truly loves God and is truly following him and
wants to please him, it will show in their actions and deeds.
No games, no rebellion, a daily surrender and seeking of God.
It really is a very clear cut choice.

One would have to wonder if we don't get to know God here
on earth and truly live for him, if he won't seem like a stranger
when we meet him. Life doesn't last forever, but eternity does.
Are you ready for eternity?

What is life about anyway? Meaning of life comes in the arms
of God and his guidance and navigation through each day,
its trials, it's relationships, and everything we face.

Dear friends, you are like foreigners and strangers in this world.
I beg you to avoid the evil things your bodies want to do that
fight AGAINST your soul. People who do not believe
are living ALL around you and might say that you are doing wrong.
Live such good lives that they will see the good things you do
and will give glory to God on the day when Christ comes again.
1 Peter 2:11-12

We cannot be a light if we walk in darkness.

Remember
Only one life will soon be past
Only what is done for Christ will last
