Title: PRIORITES Post by: teddybear on June 05, 2003, 01:38:08 PM As a Christian,one of the most dramatic changes in your life will be the way you spend your time.Your pursuits and ambitions in life will be different.After all,you are no longer living for yourself but for God.It may be a difficult transition at first,but here are a few pointers we can glean from God's Word.
1.PLACE CHRIST BEFORE ALL ELSE. To be a true follower of Jesus Christ,you need to be wholly devoted to him and let nothing else get in the way of your devotion (Philippians 3;4-11). BALANCE CHRISTIAN SERVICE WITH WORSHIP. Don't get so caught up in serving the Lord that you forget to worship him and get to know him better (Luke 10;38-42). DON'T WASTE TIME PURSUING THINGS THAT WON'T LAST. Your time on earth is short.Ask God to help you spend it on things that count (2 Timothy 4;5-8). SPEND TIME FEEDING YOUR SOUL.God offers blessings to you if you choose to spend time with him rather than devote your life to the pursuit of temporary satisfaction (1 Peter 2; 1-3). KEEP YOUR SPIRITUAL ZEAL ALIVE. Work hard to keep that fire in your heart burning brightly as you serve the Lord (Romans 12;11). God Bless.

Title: Re:PRIORITES Post by: a.b. on August 21, 2003, 11:57:56 AM Truly enjoyed what you had to say about priorities. In particular, the point about balancing Christian service with worship. So many of us get caught up in doing so many works
that we forget all about the One we are working for. We cannot even put our ministries in front of God, He must come first. Thanx for the reminder... |
