Faith don’t need to be fancy. Holiness don’t need to be haughtiness. Ministry don’t need to be a misery. Wisdom don’t need to be wily. Christianity don’t need to be complicated…it just needs to be shared with those who need to know about it and the Savior that we, as Christians, follow.
Holiness sounds haughty but it refers to being “set apart” and as Christians we have to be in the world but, according to Scripture, we don’t have to agree with it and it’s ways. Being a follower of Jesus can be simply doing what He told His disciples to do, even when it conflicts with our life sometimes.
God loves us, all of us and for some that seems to be totally against their idea of God. But consider that He had a part in forming you in the womb and He knows your personality and your strengths better than you do. If you look around you in the world and at the heavens at night, God is bigger than all of your problems and He can handle all of them…if you will let Him. Even the little things like feeding the birds and the fish, He is involved in their lives as well. “Not even a sparrow falls to the ground without the Father’s notice.”
In the last twenty years the world has changed from being one where people tried to be better to one that only seems to have spoiled brats in it. What began with the “smart phone”was the dumbing down of society. Everyone has a voice and a camera now and there’s no privacy at all. It’s not the government that has done this, it’s us.
Yes, I’m using one to write this but we could do with less videos and posts on social media and get back to being social with each other. This is just my opinion folks, I’m not trying to start anything.
I have had a dog ever since 1967. I didn’t fully appreciate how they helped me until I was in my thirties. I have three Dachshunds now and I couldn’t be happier.
Most of my reading can distract me enough that I will easily lose track of the time. I stay away from scrolling through Facebook. I look at it to see what my friends are doing, but I don’t mindlessly scroll through every post to spy on others.
