Today’s Thought “Against All Odds” G. Ward

“We are destroying speculations and every lofty thing raised up against the knowledge of God, and we are taking every thought captive to the obedience of Christ, and we are ready to punish all disobedience, whenever your obedience is complete.” 2 Corinthians 5:5-6

“Thank God it’s Friday” carries a connotation of being burdened all week in task (i.e. unavoidable responsibility). It’s no wonder places of worship are experiencing such decline in numbers. Plans are being made that more embrace 2 days in being my own boss against the message received at the local church insisting Holy God as Owner. The spiritual resolve of many that would substantiate a personal relationship with Christ more involves passages of familiarity that encourage vs. scripture that convicts (or indicts), limiting growth (cf. Phil.3:10). Ultimately it proves knowing God on our own terms without consideration of whole truth.

While there’s nothing wrong with dinner and a movie, un-belief fails to anticipate a gathering on Sunday mornings of righteous proportion (cf. 1 Jn.5:3).

Happy Friday!
