Out Of Touch

The mind governed by the flesh is death, but the mind governed by the Spirit is life and peace. Romans 8:6

How many of you encounter those who you know spend more time immersed in ungodly culture than in the Word of God? These could be well meaning misled people but for sure we as a believer are to have very little love and attachment to the things of this world yet how much time is spent getting close to Jesus as compared to talk shows, news, Facebook stalking, and the like. What you  spend time on is what kind of person you become and you can even be misled by the popular culture. It is easy to get caught up in a morning show, newspaper and other things but do you give equal time to scripture? Not trying to guilt you but to make you think.

Why is it so hard to make time for God? You hear the sermons on spending time with God and have good intentions but leave it at the church door until the following Sunday. What can be done to change this and truly make a schedule change allowing God to control it not the whim of the moment?Maybe you don’t even think you need to go to church. There are plenty of ‘religious’ churches out there that can bore the life out of you so find one that is alive and teaching God’s word. Get plugged in. Find somewhere you get excited about going to even if it means driving a few miles.

I suggest what works for me is to start reading Proverbs,Psalms, or the book of John. You can get lots of good stuff in these three books. The Bible is filled with tons of good things to help you manage your life and control your sin nature which is always there in the background. Now go on and dive into God’s word and stay in touch. 

PRAYER: Lord I love you and I love your word. I want those I know to love you is their whole being but sometimes other stuff gets in the way. Holy Spirit please convict people we all know of their need for you beyond just church membership. In Jesus’ name. Amen.
