Focus

Romans 8 is a Bible verse we all know all too well.  In my case, I usually stopped at verse 1 where it says "There is therefore now no condemnation to those that are in Christ Jesus.  That walks not after the flesh but after the Spirit."  The question is how do I walk after the flesh or after the Spirit.  Verse 5-8 gives us a clear answer and quite a shocking one as well.  It speaks of our minds and what it is focused on.  Think of the things we know in this world... our day to day lives... see, if you are focused on that stress, anxiety, pressure, frustration and a feeling of hopelessness is soon to get a grip on your throat.  What you want to do or need to do the next day isn't wrong... but meditating on these things will make you lose focus.  We read in the gospels how Jesus commanded Peter to come to him... by walking on the water.  Now while Peter's focus was on Jesus he walked on water as if on solid ground.  But as soon as he saw the storm around him he sank.  Keeping our thoughts set on what is above is a key to a stress free and frustration free life.  In fact...in Romans 8 verse 7 says that having a mind set on fleshly things is declaring war against God!  trust in and rely on God and He will fill every need...
  “If then you have been raised with Christ, seek the things that are above, where Christ is, seated at the right hand of God. Set your minds on things that are above, not on things that are on earth. For you have died, and your life is hidden with Christ in God. When Christ who is your life appears, then you also will appear with him in glory.” Colossians 3:1–4

Hosting the King

I saw a movie the other day, most of you might recognize this scene; the movie is in the backdrop of slavery in the USA.  So understand when I say when this man walked up to a slave, bought him and then made him his equal business colleague.  Now this was unheard of and whenever he visited anyone they would speak up against what they saw as madness.  The buyer of this ex-slave just always had the same response "he is a free man and his freedom was bought by me, so he is to be treated as an extension of myself."  This got me thinking that since God bought our freedom with Christ's blood... how are we treating one another?  I mean... Christ died for every single person out there.  We are made free by His blood.  Which means we should all be treated as an extension of God Himself.  Matthew 25:40 "The King will reply, 'Truly I tell you, whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers and sisters of mine, you did for me.'  Now that says it all! How do we treat those around us... would you treat God the same way you treat your fellow man?? and if not... we definitely need to change our ways!

Too Many Shoulds....

"Should a Christian have tattoos... Should a Christian wear makeup... Should a Christian drink... 
Should a Christian wear jewellery... 
Should, Should, Should, Should... come on people what are you busy with? The devil is toying with you. It's about loving God - full stop. 
Don't you think God is capable of dealing with the rest? Besides God looks at you spirit man and in His eyes if you're born again your spirit man is perfect. Stop your endless debates about nonsense, keeping yourselves out of the game and accomplishing nothing. GET BUSY LOVEING GOD and spread the gospel ( good news )."

These are frequently asked questions that mostly... just ends in a debate where love and patience flies out the door.  It has always been believed that you can find every and all direct answers in the Bible...  Now I am sure you can probably twist anything so that it sounds the way you want it to sound.  Fact of the matter is the Bible is a book about God's relationship with man.  It doesn't consist of do's and dont's!  Instead focus on your relationship with God and serving Him... let the spirit reveal and do the rest.  Remember that God works with your heart and the intentions behind your actions... not the actions themselves.
