I know this is a little early for me to be posting, but I came across something that I wanted to share and I just happen to be totally by myself. I should be studying for my cardiology exam, but I had to do some work online and you know how it is...
Here it is and fast.
I am officially a "Daylight Chaser". Don't get it?? Think about a verse in the Bible that goes like this -
As long as it is day, we must do the work of Him who sent me. Night is coming when no one can work. while I am in the world I am the light of the world.
~ Jesus
John 9:4-5
I'm trying to make the most of my daylight. Here's what I came across in this book. Take a deep breath....this may hurt.
We have defined Holiness through what we separate ourselves from rather than what we give ourselves to. I am convinced the great tragedy is not the sins that we commit, but the life that we fail to live.
You cannot follow God in neutral. God has created you to do something. It is not enough to stop the wrong and then be paralyzed when it comes to the right.
I am saying "ouch".
We don't hesitate to point out when someone is offending us or not living up to "standard", beating them down or away. Let's see... last time I checked God's still in charge and the Judge. I want to do good. Show God's love and leave the rest to Him.
By the way I purposefully left the title and author's name out. I would like to finish it before recommending it. So far, it's good, really good.

That was some pretty good preaching, even if it was someone else who said it first. I have been thinking along this line for a while, as you know.
hey, Glad to hear that you took up preaching. Sounds like you are preaching pretty close girl. I had to let you know that we are checking your blog. Thanks for getting me started.
