Don’t Slow Down

March 12, 2009 Leave a comment

Has the Holy Spirit ever convicted you of something He hasn’t seemed to convict others of yet? 

Does this make you feel like you’re “holier than thou” and maybe need to cool it for awhile?

Don’t slow down.

Your example–not your judgment, condemnation or snobby attitude–may be exactly what others need to see.

Most of all, remember, you are not drawing closer to Christ for their benefit.  Your walk is your walk. 

Again, don’t slow down.

“Am I now trying to win the approval of men, or of God? Or am I trying to please men? If I were still trying to please men, I would not be a servant of Christ.”  (Galatians 1:10 NIV)

Recession “Quession”

March 12, 2009 2 Comments

Whether it be the slump the economy is in, the need for more money in other parts of your budget or a cutback for some other reason, what “trivial” thing(s) (e.g. cable, movie channels, an Internet connection faster than any website can update, one of the higher-priced coffe-based drinks in the morning, etc.) have you given up, and how has life been since? 

Note:  I’m asking this, in part, because I need some inspiration, and also to offer those of you who have taken a step some encouragement.
