My 35th Year

When I turned 35 in the natural I freaked! There were so many things I hadn't done yet. It was a real wake up call. Thank God 17 years later things are much better.

But what about when someone has been born again for 35 years. What are the expectations?

A quick scan of the bible shows that God's timetable is different for everyone. Sure the disciples were ready in three years for ministry, but how old were they when God called each of them? And what about the abnormally born Saul of Tarsus? Surely he was on a different schedule.

And what about the heroes of the old testament. How long before God used Moses, Joshua, Noah and old father Abraham.

How do we know if we're on schedule with God? Are you satisfied with where you are? Do a see a plan? Do you have a vision for your life?

Thank God. Thank God! Again I say THANK GOD!

Never have I been so sure that I'm on track with God. This does not mean that
I've arrived.

No way!

It only means I just found my starting line!

Filter Your Brain

There are people out there who claim to love God so much
they never have to worry about going to an evil website.
(Smut,hate, or otherwise)

With all due respect that's like saying you're so careful you
never need a fire extinguisher or a first aid kit.

I'm not ashamed to admit I'm glad we have an internet filter.
We like Total Net Guard. It works for us.

Too bad we couldn't get a filter for our brains.
