We Whine To Much

"We have to make up our minds to bear the cross without ceasing and as far as possible without whimpering." AW Tozer

I read this quote this morning and was reminded how much I whine. If things are not going my way or I don't get what I want. I whine like a little two year old. I look at the Life of Joseph , what an example he was. Life was pretty bad for a long time and yet he was faithful to God. I strive and I hope you do as well to be like that, in times of troubles we need to lean on God. Instead to often I complain to him. Scriptures says the path is narrow and hard at times, how easily I forget that. The next time you or I are whining to God, take a moment and think about what you are saying. Remember Joseph and remind yourself it could always be much worse.

So True

"The Bible is not a once-spoken book-it is a book that is NOW speaking." AW Tozer

Once again i heard today that the Bible is not God's word, but man's adaption to get what he wants. The person I was talking to said there is a God, but does not care what we do. We are failing this culture to teach them who God is and what his Word means to our Life. Pass along today the importance of God and his word.

thought for the day

Spurgeon: When men talk of a little hell, it is b/c they think they have only a little sin, & believe in a little Savior.

? what can you do?

30HF 30 Hour Famine

More than 1 billion people go hungry every day. What are you going to do about it?

What are we scared of?

As I look around I just don't get America. We have the best of everything we have some many blessings, yet we are scared to death to preach the gospel and live for Jesus. We have brothers and sisters in Christ all over the world daily risking there lives for the advance of the kingdom and so many of us sit back and do nothing. This seems wrong to me and very unbiblical. The Bible tells us to go to the ends of the world to tell people about Jesus and we are scared to tell our neighbors because they may not like us.
Do we realize the God we serve?
Do we realize he has already won?
Do we understand we have a eternal reward that far out ways anything this life has to offer?
Do we remember what Christ went through for us.
These people that we refuse to talk to are going to hell and we don't seem to care. I know oh my he just said Hell, but folks it is a reality that again we are afraid to talk about. The best thing about the Cross was God's full wrath and full love colliding. Jesus took the full wrath that we deserved and in return asked us to follow him, live for him and him alone, and tell other about what he did for them.
So I ask the question again what are you afraid of?
