NO GRAY

This is inspired by Jonathan McReynolds. He sings about how we need to take our stand for Christ. How we must not be church goers alone but we must have Christ at heart.

“it would be cool if we could love the Lord and still go do our own thing but it doesn't work like that , you've got to be black or white.”

Many times we like to take middle ground, seemingly, a safer choice where we can benefit both ways. Beware how much you are willing to compromise on. Are these compromises really in accordance to God’s will? Will the compromise give long-term benefits or are they fleeting pleasures?

Personally I have strayed from His will and compromised quite a number of times and each time I learn that it always better to stick to his plan. They are many things that look much more attractive that what God seems to be doing but He alone sees the full picture.  

My new impulse is to go with God. Obey because that is the only way. We follow Christ entirely on grace because we could never measure up.  Our obedience to the words of the Lord and the direction of The HOLY SPIRIT will keep us. No matter how deep we sink grace we have received through Jesus Christ will keep bringing us out and enable us to walk the straight and narrow.

KEEPING UP

KEEPING UP

However do we keep up with the changing times? There is such a growing need to be up to date with the rest of the world and at times I go crazy.

In the past , our great grandparents kept money hidden in the ground where no one knew ,today we walk to banks and a computer which is operated by a person gives away how indebted or financially stable we are. I am not saying it’s bad ,it’s just the gross change in how man  acts today. Previously a lady (unmarried) was expected to be covered up real good and today we see a lot of ladies with much less clothing and No one shows concern. We have all been left to our whims good or bad.

So how do we ever keep up with these changes and still not lose our faith, our values and not be archaic. It’s pretty simple do not follow every trend that comes up. These trend come and go and come again after a couple of years maybe decades but they still come back… nothing is new under the sun.

So maybe today in your part of the world tights are trending sorry but you are a tad bit late. They were trending when I was 3! So don’t try so hard to keep up with the trend. Find who you really are and what works for you set your standards according to your image THE IMAGE OF CHRIST.
