Hunger is No Game

Since when do we let everyone but our Savior define what we do with our life and how we spend our oh so precious and short time on this planet? Since when do we let this world lead us by their example? We all know that they do whether we want to admit it or not. God has made us better than that. We were made to lead. First, we have to change our habits that we have picked up from movies, music and the latest trend we got from the mall! When did we decide that our hunger for what we would call fun or pleasure, but is really just true joy, can be satisfied by going to bed with the world and all it stands for. The only thing that will truly satisfy this viable hunger, is a taste of the truth of God's word and a real relationship with Someone who will not ditch us or talk about us behind our back. Our Father and friend, our Savior Jesus Christ of Nazareth. His unending love is real and he's waiting for us to seek Him and to make Him the first place we go ... for everything! When this happens, joy, true joy that we can't even come close to comprehending until we taste of it, is ours! I'm not just talking to those who have never even heard of God! I am talking to you and me, the ones who think they have a good understanding of God and His Word. The ones that have gone to church all their life and think that for the most part they have it all together. You will never have it all together until you are truly willing to give all you have to follow Christ! And I don't just mean when you have the " boldness" to SAY that you would but when you have the BOLDNESS to LIVE like you would!

       "But He was wounded for our transgressions, He was
   bruised for our iniquities: the chastisement of our peace was
           upon Him; and with His stripes we are healed."
                                                                                     Isaiah 53:5

               

               "Ye are the light of the world. A city that is set on an hill cannot be hid. Neither do men light a candle, and put it under a bushel, but on a candlestick; and it giveth light unto all that are in the house. Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify  your Father which is in heaven."
                                    Matthew 5:14-16

 

          "...Now are ye light in the Lord: walk as children of light:"

Happy Independence Day Week !!!

" It is for freedom that Christ has set us free. Stand firm, then, and do not let yourselves be burdened again by a yoke of slavery. "

Galatians 5:1

" Freedom is never more than one generation away from extinction. We didn't pass it to our children through the bloodstream. It must be fought for, protected and handed down for them to do the same."

 President Ronald Reagan

" When the people fear their government, there is tyranny; when the government fears the people, there is liberty. "

Thomas Jefferson

Jesus said," You will know the truth, and the truth will set you free. "

John 8:31-32
