Let's try this again...

May 15th marked the day I found myself empty from doing ministry. I was on the battlefield, preacing on Sunday night, and found, much to my dismay, that I had given all of my ammunition away so that others could fight the battles, but I had none myself. Staring down at me is the enemy as I run to the supply shed and abide with my Jesus

Remembering that Christ made us holy through his blood on the cross, it is not that we need to seek out holiness for ourselves, but to simply live as we are: children of God, who has bought us at a great price, who has made of clean.

I had been thinking about that lately, and then this morning I picked up my Relevant magazine and read an article about just that.

I find myself degrading as I make myself too busy to read daily ... where did my passion go?

It's not that we're not holy people who some times act holy; we are holy because Christ made us holy, and we most of the time don't act like it.

Geez. This is so random and onorganized I'm confusing myself.

Stand strong, brother.

This is true; what you say. Christ has made me holy through his blood, but in my allegiance to God, I am not keeping my end of the bargain, and it pains me so. He protects me, provides for me, and so much more, yet here I stand, not even entering into a relationship with him that he SENT HIS SON TO DIE FOR ME SO THAT I MIGHT COME TO HIM...I negate the work God has done for me, not literally because God is bigger than me, but when I don't read his word and when I am not in a relationship with him, I miss the blessings he so passionately desires to lavish upon me.

I digress, I am still an idiot and I have forgotten the simplicity of abiding with Jesus and reading the Word of God...
