You Reap What You Sow






Do not be deceived, God is not mocked; for whatever a man sows, that he will also reap. For he who sows to his flesh will of the flesh reap corruption, but he who sows to the Spirit will of the Spirit reap everlasting life. Galatians 6:7-8


Galatians itself talks about being good to all. When we see someone falling, we as Christians should set them straight in a gentle way. We don't want to see others struggle in sin and see their lives going in the wrong direction. However, we need to be careful on how we do so, so that we don't find ourselves being tempted in their wrongdoings. 
Don't deceive yourself. Don't make yourself out to be some one you aren't. You should judge yourself and make sure you are doing well before you compare yourself to anyone else. 

By doing so we should always do good; do the right thing. I have been being nice to a certain some one a lot more. I am trying my best to show God's love but in the same token not push my beliefs on them because I know how they are and that would destroy the some what connection we have. I try my best to shoot a text to them every once in a while in the morning letting them know I'm thinking about them and hoping they have a great day. Just because I don't get a response one day doesn't mean I'm going to stop reaching out and showing God's love. I'm not going to let that discourage me and ruin my faith. 

Don't cease at doing the right thing. When it doesn't work or backfires at you, that doesn't mean we can reverse how we live and just start living in revenge. Keep up with your nice behavior and keep showing God's love. As Christians we should always do the right thing. We might be tempted to do the opposite if the reaction is negative and that is when we need to turn to prayer and ask for guidance and patience. 

The decisions we make on earth determine our eternity. We reap what we sow. If we continue to do bad and unGodly things we will suffer the consequences. If we practice good behavior and actions always we will reap everlasting eternity. 

Our actions today will reflect our tomorrows and eternity. Therefore if we are living as godly people, keep living that way for everlasting life will be yours though Christ.

In Prayer

Image
Do you want to grow spiritually?  Of course we do! I do!  Pastor Greg Laurie goes more into depth of prayer while studying The Lord's Prayer in Luke 11.  The basic things are the main things we need to focus on. Stating the most important things are the simplest things. Prayer is communicating and listening to God. In Luke 11 the disciples are asking Jesus to teach them how to pray. Jesus then began ' The Lord's Prayer '.  And he said unto them, When ye pray, say, Our Father which art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name. Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done, as in heaven, so in earth. Luke 11:2 We must pray according to the will of God. We need to ask God to give us the plan for our life. His will for us will be done on this earth, only if we ask.  And forgive us our sins; for we also forgive every one that is indebted to us. Luke 11:4 We need to confess our sins, even if we don't believe we have do

The 'Traditional Family'

Image
Tuesday while listening to Greg Laurie, he said something that really hit home and I began to feel sad, upset, hurt and even a little angry. This is what he said and I quote  "The idea of a traditional family seems to be something of the past. So many broken homes today... We have to visit dad and his new wife and we have to visit mom and her new boyfriend and I have all these new step brothers and sisters and the whole thing is sort of...icky. Uncomfortable. Awkward." -Greg Laurie  Well Pastor Greg, you hit that one spot on. Before he made that quote he addressed that there are broken home in the result of divorce. However, to be in that situation he described doesn't always have to be the result of a divorce. It could simply be the result of ignorance as well!  Growing up, I always told myself I would never have a broken family, and if you have kept up with my blog you have heard that plenty of times.  Well no one ever wants to have a broken family. But for me, that was

Who Are We?

I listened to a sermon on the 4th and I have been trying to put all my thoughts together to write a post about it because it was so meaningful for me. It helped me realize a lot about myself and my faith. I am still trying to get all my ducks in a row for that post but I just wanted to give a little bit of encouragement. It seems like most sermons preached lately are about this craziness but out of that craziness there is a lot to learn! In Exodus 13-16 we read about how Pharaoh finally let the Israelites out of Egypt. All the Isrealites wanted was to be let go and what was one of the first things they did when they got out of Egypt? They complained. They started complaining about how they 'missed' things from Egypt.  Exodus 16:3 says   The Israelites said to them, “If only we had died by the  Lord ’s hand in Egypt!  There we sat around pots of meat and ate all the food  we wanted, but you have brought us out into this desert to starve this entire assembly to death.”
