This is one thing i have always found interesting is how we judge others and ourselves. It to fair when we do this, we often judge others for what they have done, and don't look at ourselves and what we have done. Then at the same time we judge and compare ourselves to others, its a dog eat dog, and nothing wins and nothing good or Holy can come from it. As we see here its so easy to often they to point out other peoples flaws and sins and everything to help make "us feel better." This is usually only a temporary feeling though and does keep you on top. Giving and having a grateful heart does that. We first need to help rid ourselves and understand our weakness and come forward, be open and transparent about things.
Effective prayer - Keep asking and you will receive and this is the topic we will talk about the next couple wednesday as our drop box question thanks to the question. We need to be persisting and prayer asking, seeking, and knocking. God will honor that- esp with the right right heart and we will talk a lot more about this.
The golden rule- gets its own little section and why not. Its simple and we all know it. This and just like judging others is treating people fairly!!
Narrow Gate- We know that walking the Christian path is hard- its not easy its narrow. Not everyone can follow this path and there isn't many ways to stay on it. Its a tough thing to do but well worth the reward. If we understand this then it sort of makes it a bit easier.
We can tell by looking at others and what they do, to see who they really are and where their heart is. It doesn't take long to look at people and to know them by their fruit. Its can be a great thing but also a sort of scary thing as well that its that noticeable. Look at people by their actions and who they are and the same goes for all of us.
We get to see the "true christians" on judgment day and i think a lot of people can sort of fit in this boat. they want to be christians and saved but don't really want to live their life fully devoted to God.
I love this last part for you guys and that this solid foundation is on Jesus Christ and you guys are building it young. Keep building it making it solid, and so that when things get tough down the road you know that your foundation won't break. Love the work you guys are putting in- it will pay off!
