21 September 2008

Hebrews 10:23-25
23 Let us hold tightly without wavering to the hope we affirm, for God can be trusted to keep his promise. 24 Let us think of ways to motivate one another to acts of love and good works. 25 And let us not neglect our meeting together, as some people do, but encourage one another, especially now that the day of his return is drawing near.
I think that there are people who fear that God has forgotten to keep his promise. They see that this world is becoming more and more perverse. They see that man is forgetting God and looking only to himself and the gods that he has created for help. I am comforted by verses 24 and 25. We as Christians must look for ways to motivate fellow believers to continue to show the light to those around us. That is what good works and love is, showing the light. We are the salt of the earth. This earth has definitely lost its savor but we as Christians have the choice to either let it continue to taste bad or to shower some of our love all around and let it change how people are. If we will allow God to use us He can continue to mold this world for good.

About Me

I am a former soldier in the United States Army. I have deployed to Afghanistan once and to Iraq twice. I feel that I have been called by God to serve Him where I am and to do it joyfully. This can be hard at times. This blog is not about where the Army has taken me but what I read in Scripture and where God is taking me along my spiritual journey. I hope that you will glean information from what I write and will be blessed as God blesses me.
