Foreign "gods" of Today

Foreign gods of today...

What do you worship? 

Believe it or not, but some folks blindly serve another god in the form of money, work, or a material possession. 

Heck, some of us might even worship another human; like a movie star, athlete, or even obsess on a personal relationship. 

Now don't get me wrong, it's great to have nice things and healthy personal relationships, but are we allowing those things and persons to become our gods? 

Do we spend a large amount of time focusing our thoughts, energies, and efforts attempting to please or serve them? 

I am a firm believer of the spiritual principle that your heart exists where your thoughts reside...

Check your experience...

"God either is or He isn't. What was our choice to be?" Big Book pg. 53 

Lord, let us focus our thoughts on Your will and not fall into false worship of the people, places, and things around us, AMEN. 

 "The Lord alone led him; no foreign god was with him." Deuteronomy 32:12

Leaders Serve

 Leading by example...

It seems to be an American cultural norm that we all have to "make it to the top" of whatever work or career path we are on. 

The media and marketing that we are exposed to on all fronts seems to equate success with clothes, cars, and other material trappings far above what most of us can honestly afford. 

“More is Better!” seems to be the subliminal message of success. 

The truth is that more is not better. 

While we need to support ourselves and our families,..

 true success comes from becoming great stewards of what we are given and how we support and serve those around us. 

Jesus came to serve, not be served. 

He came to show us that there is eternal life through Him. 

Our faith in God grows when we learn the truth in His word and become in tune to those people, places, things, and situations He puts in our lives...

Check your experience...

"How can I best serve Thee? Thy will (not mine) be done." Big Book pg. 85 

Lord, let us lead by serving and let us measure our success through our stewardship of the blessings you give us, AMEN. 

"But the greatest among you shall be your servant. Whoever exalts himself shall be humbled; and whoever humbles himself shall be exalted." Matthew 23: 11-12 

Have a blessed day Y’all!

Friends in Low Places

 We’ve got friends in low places…. 

It’s obvious that Jesus came to save the lost, and they were all drawn to Him, but the religious establishment of the time complained about this constantly. 

If they had their way, the religious people would have driven the sinners far away, but Jesus did not allow this to happen. 

He came to seek out and save the lost. Jesus had and still has friends in low places. 

Today we see His statue in beautiful churches, but we will still experience His presence in the streets and in our daily encounters. 

He still wants to speak with you today. 

He needs us to help Him reach others. 

Don't give up, and know that it is not Jesus that is driving you away when worldly clamors get in the way. 

Using our hands to touch them, and our voice to speak to them, He can and will reach folks right where they are...

Check your experience… 

“There had been a humble willingness to have Him with me -- and He came.” Big Book pg. 12 

Lord, please continue to use us to reach others in the same way You were first introduced. to us, AMEN. 

“The tax collectors and sinners all came to listen to Jesus. But the Pharisees and the teachers of the law began to complain: "Look, this man welcomes sinners and even eats with them." Luke 15:1-2
