Monday Gospel

Whenever I read about Christians converting to Islam or leaving the faith altogether, my first reaction is they were never Christians to start. If you have a true relationship with Christ, you would never want to leave him.

Rejection

Rejection doesn't play favorites, anyone can get it. Sometimes, rejection can be a blessing because God may be protecting you from something down the line & other times, God could be redirecting you to something better.

Something To Think About

Do As I Say, Not As I Do

Parents: Do as I say, not as I do holds no weight anymore. Kids see what you say and do and are going to mimic your every move. You have no right to get upset when your kids do exactly what you do. Be a better example.

Running Mouth=Flood

God says talking too much is foolish, so talking less is considered wise to him (Proverbs 29:11). Some people pride themselves on speaking their minds, which is good to a degree because you know where they stand. Some people better be glad I've mastered the art of selective speaking, because if I really said what I thought, people would be shocked and in trouble. You don't always have to say what's on your mind because sometimes, it can get you in trouble.

Contentment: Philippians 4:10-12

Philippians 4:10-12 deals with contentment. Contentment is another word for satisfaction. If I asked people about their contentment level, I would get different answers. Some people would be content at their current level, others would say they're constantly striving for better. I think for me, contentment would come after I've accomplished all God has for me because then there's nothing left for me to do. I've already done what God's called me to do, so what else do I have to prove? Nothing. At the same time, this verse is helping me learn contentment, whether I have little or much.
