Scenario: Out Of Sight, Out Of Mind

I can understand the son wanting to talk to his father; this could be the son's opportunity to get answers about his father's absence. From what I read, the father chose not to be in his life, so why would he want to connect now? His son is pretty much grown, so the father missed out on a father-son relationship. Hopefully, the son learned how to be a man by father figures. The son should trust his instincts and not get too close.

CME (Christmas, Mother's Day, Easter) Christians

Shout out to Gerald LiftsTheGym Jackson for this post. People find time to go to church on CME, but can't go any other time of the year.

Monday Gospel

I've been guilty of this many times, so I try not to let him make me look stupid because he's going to sit back laughing, saying "Got Em!"

The devil will make a fool out of anyone who lets him.

Taking Up Your Cross

Repost from a FB friend:

This is self-explanatory to me, but far too many believers expect not to pay the cost of following Christ. Walking with Christ costs you popularity because you won't be able to run with the same people you used to on your walk. You may face criticism from those "friends" you ran with because you decided to carry the cross. Believers should NOT take up the cross if they aren't ready to deal with the consequences. There are consequences for everything we do, good or bad.

Game Time

You find out real quick who/what's God in a person's life when it comes time to do what God says.

Today's Thought: Proof That God Answers Prayers

Some people miss the point of God answering prayers.

God doesn’t answer prayers to prove a point, he answers prayers to showcase his glory.

Introspection

When you stay in your lane & observe some things, you find out a lot about yourself.
