BIBLE STUDY today! Time: 5 ET/2PT Where: AOL IM Chat Room "bible study" We are studying Proverbs 4-6. Join us!

EDIT: Please let me know what you think of the new header...it needs a little work, but let me know. Thanks!

Isn't amazing how if we love to do something we will want to do it all the time! I love basketball, blogging, and government to name a few worldy things I love to do. As result I blog as much as possible, go the the Online Government as much as possible, and play basketball as much as I can. On the flip side, we often have trouble motivating ourselves to do the things that we don't care for. Believe it or not, writing is not really a hobby of mine unless I'm writing about something that interests me. I have a hard time motivating myself to write about symbolism in the Passing of Arthur in school. In fact, had you asked me a year ago if I would be writing 2-3 essays a week for two blogs I probably would have laughed. However, the Lord worked on me and soon writing Biblical based essays become a love.

Jesus said in John 14:15:

If you love Me, keep my commandments.(NKJV)

It is so easy to get wrapped up in our worldly loves and doing those things, that we often forget about what our ultimate Love should be and what our ultimate goal should be. If we were to look at our worldly loves and how we are doing those, then how would they look compared to our God and how we are doing obeying Him? Does our worldly goals out do our spiritual goals? It is an interesting things to think about and we all, including me, should focus on our love for Christ and His commandments. We often say, "I LOVE Jesus!" But is that really true? How are we doing on His commandments? To put it this way: Is our lifesong singing to Him?

Let my lifesong sing to You! ~Casting Crowns

Re: Your post above - Great thoughts preacherman. I kinda figured you'd be wrestling between politics and preachin'. Christ has given you a sound mind and great passion in both! I'm sure you enjoy HIS rest, knowing HE WILL reveal HIS perfect plan for your life. HE opens doors for us that no man can shut and we can't help but walk in them - cuz we hear HIS VOICE ! Who knows, maybe HE will have you do both. GOD knows we could use a few more Christ Bearers in congress and politically courageous and vocal people in the pulpits!

True..true...IF YOU LOVE ME..the Holy Spirit working in you spoke the same warning to the Church at Ephesus.."Nevertheless I have something against thee, because thou hast left thy first love.." the church was doing a lot of the right things, but they forgot their passion and love for God.

Why 7,000? b/c I'm pretty sure thats what God told Elijah (or was it Elisha? I get em confused) when he was hiding...I can't pinpoint the exact verse right now...but I'll get it to you shortly.

but yeah, the reason I used that number is because IIRC thats the one God used when talking to the prophet.

here it is:

1Ki 19:18 Yet I have left [me] seven thousand in Israel, all the knees which have not bowed unto Baal, and every mouth which hath not kissed him.

Re: music

Thanks Preacherman!

I have to look into it to see if it's legal to do that. I'd rather buy one from I-Tunes, than steal one from somewhere. Do you know anything about that (i.e. lagality )?
