You often don’t see me doing
this but I would like to share my notes from my husband’s sermon this past
Sunday. The points were excellent and
things to ponder as we move into a New Year fresh and with a blank slate.
I’ve been a church goer for years and lately I have been
pondering lately how easy it is to just go to church, put in your hour or two
and then live the rest of the week the way we want only to start all over again
the next Sunday. But there’s so much
more to it than that. I’ve known people
that have “gone to church” for 20 or 30 years but never made the difficult
choices to implement actually living their daily lives for Christ. Oh what they are missing. Maybe you’re missing the same? It’s easy to do certain things but it
difficult to do others. Here’s the list:
EASY DIFFICULT
1. To sit in church each Sunday 1. To actually BE the church
2. To be fed (God’s Word) 2. To feed others (God’s
Word)
3. To be served 3. To
serve others-following Christ’s example
4. To be critical 4. To
be encouraging
5. To hate 5.
To love like Jesus did (it’s a decision)
6. To hold a grudge 6. To forgive
7. To everything (or think
you do) 7. To be teachable-talk less, listen more
8. To read the Bible 8. To DO the Bible
9. To pray by talking 9. To pray by
listening
10. To receive Jesus 10. To actually follow Jesus
