Rejecting the cultural Christianity I grew up with to embrace and enjoy a relationship with Jesus Christ. A place to come and share thoughts about almost anything. Especially things of the Lord. Please no Anonymous posts, I enjoy knowing who is writing to me.

Leave the World Behind to Follow Christ
No, we do not have to know what is going on in the world, except to pray for believers to be stronger and more people to become born again.
Satan loves that believers are watering down their witness by complaining and winning about all that is happening as though they don't believe God when He said these things would happen.
The more we know of the filth the more we push the joy and peace out of our hearts.
Philippians 4:7-9 "7 And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus. 8 Finally, brothers, whatever is true, whatever is honorable, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable— if anything is excellent or praiseworthy— think on these things. 9 Whatever you have learned or received or heard from me, or seen in me, put it into practice. And the God of peace will be with you.…"
Are we going to obey God making our focus Him and His principles in the Bible or are we going to disobey and fill our minds with worldly filth? It's our choice, I choose Christ.
Looking Up and Not Around!
Satan can do nothing without God's permission. We must stop looking at the world and begin focusing on Christ. God said; "when you see these things happening look up." He never said look around, become fearful, and spread the bad news.
Those who spend most of their time reading the ugly things going on will live in a spirit of sadness and fear.
Those who focus on Christ will live in a Spirit of hope and joy, obeying God when He said; "when you see these things happening look up for your redemption draws near."
Looking around you and you will be sad, miserable and helpless.
Looking up you will see nothing but joy and hope at what is coming for the born-again believer.
Where are you going to look?
