Attitude Adjustment

I haven’t posted for roughly two weeks because I want this blog to be for Jesus Christ, and not for me to vent angry feelings.  If I am not able to honor Jesus in what is said here, whether about spiritual matters or temporal, then I am not revealing Him to others.  Rather, I am using His blog for my own selfish purposes.

We are called to be “salt and light,” (Matthew 5:13-14) pointing out what the Word of God says regarding current events.  In His strength, we must allow the Holy Spirit to use us to restrain the spirit of antichrist, until we are taken out of the way. (2Thessalonians 2:7)  If I am too angry to do that in a way that gives reverence the Lord, however, then I must be silent until I can.

Additionally, the core intent of this blog is to show others the way to Christ, to explain how to live in Him and for Him, and to tell the joy of doing so.  The things of this world are transient, but His kingdom is forever. (Isaiah 9:6-7)  That must be our primary focus.

So, in the attitude of service, let’s seek the things of God first, and trust His promise that He will give us what we need. (Luke 12:31)  Please remember to pray for me, for our leaders, and for the United States of America.
