Well last night we visited the Odell's Care Group. I thought it was good. We talked about Joe's message from a week or two ago, which I missed because I was doing worship for children's ministry. But he also tied it in with the worldliness book, which was cool. But the question that stood out to me most was, What thing if taken from you would outrage you? (or something like that). Like if your iPod was taken from you and you could never have it back, would you be outraged? I thought about it and for the most part if my stuff was taken away from me, sure I'd be mad for a little while, but then I'd get over it pretty quickly. For me it wouldn't be my stuff. It would be people, or to be more specific, a certain person. God's been working on my heart showing me that I can't have anything or anyone above Him. Which is a real struggle for me. Phillipians 4:13.
It's only by God's Grace that we can do anything right.
Live life abandoningly for Christ.
ReplyDeleteits hard to really get what that really means into my head.
Being willing to, like you said, give up anything or anyone.
Phillipians 4:13 is right, It's only by the grace of God that we can do ANYTHING!! Including putting worldliness to death.
ReplyDeleteWe do serve a loving, but jealous God....
ReplyDeletegood blog...looking forward to you visiting my blog and following it as I will start to follow this blog too.
