Yellow Line



"A YELLOW LINE "
While Driving Down Life’s road (Can you see the Yellow lines or the white lines?)

The Rain comes down heavy sometimes. And if you can’t see which way to go, you can easily make the wrong choice which could lead you into a head on collision with a big truck. That would not be a good way to go.

Maybe you would swerve at the last minute and it’s only into the ditch you go, without any major damage. Or maybe just a few big bumps as you are fortunate enough to get back on the road. Who’s to know what’s around the next curve in our life.

Not having God in your life is like not even being able to see the edge of the road.

How many people say they don’t need any help when they are lost? They won’t stop and ask for help. (They Say that they can do by their self.)

Pride comes before the fall.


Tumbling down the hill, because you took a wrong turn and then you found out too late that the road was out, and down the hill you go.

It’s not very fun or comfortable Tumbling down, and even less comfortable when you try to straddle the fence, Wrong Thinking mixed with a little of God does not get you off of the fence.

We all need to understand and remember that there is an enemy that works against us. He will take you down the wrong roads that always start off looking good or feeling good, then all of a sudden he has you where he can have his way with you. (Because the enemy will trip you and trick you, to take you where you don’t want to go and keep you there longer than you want to stay. That’s his way!

When you choose to go your own way, you have said no to God. Telling him you can do it by yourself. Yes’ You can do it on your own, ignoring the yellow line. and maybe it wouldn’t be too late when you see the truck, but when its raining hard, you won’t even see the truck coming..

When you are saying no to God, you are saying no to his grace and his blessings.

Life is a lot harder when we do things our way.

Why is it that some people are very blessed in life while others never seem to get anywhere? In a message, Sunday at Church on the Move Pastor George examined the basis for success as described in Psalm 1. He taught: If we are going to flourish in life, we must choose right company, make right choices, and not be fooled by the wrapper of sin.

(This is a yellow line, Please, we know each of us have a free will to do what and when we want . But, we want you to know that we love you and want you to know when there is a truck around the next curve.)

" tHE mIND oF cHRIST "



Cor. 2:12 ,13 tells us that the Spirit of God has taken up residence in us. God has ‘implanted’ the mind of Christ in those who have accepted His Son as their Savior.
In some mysterious way we now have a capacity for divine wisdom that no scholarly degree or natural experience could ever provide. Having the mind of Christ enables us to see life increasingly from God’s perspective. This does not mean that we can think on God’s level and instruct Him, but it does mean that we have a new capacity to think and talk and act more and more like Christ.

To Grow or not to Grow, that is the Question!


With the “opportunities” that are given, I want to be ”sensitive”, and “discerning”. I don’t want to forget about the freedom that has been given to me, which can be taken for-granted.
I want to think about what to say or do before hand. I can Choose to throw out the thoughts that don’t line up with Gods word, or not. the ones that won't benefit anyone. “Renewing the Mind “ to the word of God. Now that’s something to think about.
A few examples, like:“People perish for lack of knowledge”. “Forgive them for they know not what they do. ”
Remembering that I don’t want to be offended is sometimes easier said, but with the Lord’s help I can do it.
To go to church or not to go, is anything else is more important? Where do I learn what is right or what is wrong?
Just because we are full grown in size, does that mean that we are really fully grown.

"A DAY GOES BY"




Where did our thought take us today?
Did we work, or did we play?
Where was our focus today, and how did it start?

Were we early, or were we late?
Did we do what others would appreciate?
What kind of message to others, did we impart?

If Jesus is Lord, did we seek and obey?
Or, Did we just do things our own way?
Without even saying I love you Lord, from our heart.

Did we help someone along our way?
Or, think about about eternity?
Did we contribute to good, or help tear something apart?

A day goes by, from the beginning to the end.
Whether we made the right choices or we have sinned.
Will I will be thankful as a day goes by, allowing Jesus to fill my heart?
