Hey Everyone!
I’m so sorry that I haven’t kept up with this page. Life has been a little crazy lately. I wanted to share a couple of points that Pastor brought out that stuck with me this past Sunday.
-Whatever you put before God is an idol!
-Always relying on God to forgive us cheapens the grace of God. Just because He forgives, doesn’t mean that we get a free pass.
-Anytime you knowingly go against the Word of God, you are asking for trouble.
Pastor also shared 2 stories with us about how when he was out in the world, he was in a place that he shouldn’t have been. He felt the voice of God say, “What are you doing here?” How many times have we been in a place where we shouldn’t have been, whether it be a physical place or spiritual?
The 2nd story was of a man who was on vacation in Hawaii, and he started floating out in the ocean. He didn’t realize how far he had drifted until he looked up and barely saw the shore. He started panicking because he was far away from safety, and did everything he could to get back to shore/safety. It’s so easy to drift away from God, and we don’t even realize it until it feels like we’re too late. The devil will use anything to distract you from your relationship with God and your purpose. The key point is to stay close to shore. When we drift too far, we are far away from God’s safety.
I love you all, and I pray that you have a blessed week!
