Below is a link to a very disturbing problem here in Jacksonville. Not only is it a youth problem. It is an adult problem. If ever these is going to be resolved. It must be the church that starts now to take action. Please read and share your comments. http://www.jacksonville.com/tu-online/stories/111908/met_357516124.shtml
Lay Aside The Weight
In light of everything that’s taking place in our economy. I think it’s really important that we self-examine to see if there is any place in our lives that need trimming. It’s very easy to point fingers at high earning CEOs with disgust as their companies crumble faster that Graham crackers in a new box. Yet, if we are honest with ourselves we very well would find waste in our own lives. Much of this is nothing more than exra stuff that’s not needed.Since we are called to be the light of the world we have a mandate to ensure that there’s nothing that would prevent us from being just that. This weight, that diminishes the light, could be too much unhealthy eating, unnecessary shopping, self-pride, alcohol, dishonesty, illegal drugs, illicit sex, you name it- whatever it is. There is no little sin vs. big sin. Ask God to give you the strength to let it GO! Our words have power. So much so that with our tongue we can control life and death…check it out in the book of Proverbs!
Speak no more weights in your life. I know that’s why I’m doing. January- why wait for a New Year’s resolution. Get rid of it now.
That’s my story….and I’m sticking with it. What’s yours?
