Romans 12:5 so in Christ we, though many, form one body, and each member belongs to all the others.
One of the biggest thing which stops people from coming to church is the disagreements people have with each other!
If we aimed to be more like Christ and accept people from being different, things may be very different!
It upsets me more than anything to see disagreements in churches because it is all man made!

What do other people see when they look at you?

Don’t hide you life with Christ under the table, allow people to see you are different!

Psalm 139:1 You have searched me, Lord, and you know me.
How close is your heart to Christ? No, not ‘how much do you love Christ…’
God knows what is going on in our hearts and minds and He is trying to direct us toward a better path.
If we listen to Him and obey Him more in our lives, our hearts will be closer to His will and His ways… and Him!

1 Thessalonians 2:12 encouraging, comforting and urging you to live lives worthy of God, who calls you into his kingdom and glory.
Do you follow the rules in your local church meeting place because that is what has been done for many years?
Or do you follow what God tells you in your bible?
Yes, they should be the same thing, but sometimes are not. Follow what God is saying to you, personally...

Psalm 97:10 Let those who love the Lord hate evil, for he guards the lives of his faithful ones and delivers them from the hand of the wicked.
We are brought up to know the difference between good and bad; at least that is what we expect.
Too many things in this world tempt us to do things which are not good by God’s standards.
Do you know what God’s standards are for our lives?

Matthew 25:21 ‘His master replied, “Well done, good and faithful servant! You have been faithful with a few things; I will put you in charge of many things. Come and share your master’s happiness!”
This parable of the master who left others in charge of their wealth should be ringing alarm bells for us all!
God left us in charge of this planet – how are we doing with it?
When it comes time for Christ to return are you going to be on the right side?

Psalm 26:2 Test me, Lord, and try me, examine my heart and my mind;
Are you willing to say these words out loud? Are you willing to allow God to test you?

But, with Christ, we can face anything when we trust Him!

Luke 4:24 ‘Truly I tell you,’ he continued, ‘no prophet is accepted in his home town.
One of the hardest things to get over is other people’s prejudice based on what you have done in the past!
When we accept Christ into our lives we have a chance at changing our lives for the better.
When people see that change, they do think about it; and maybe that is the encouragement they need to get to know Christ too!

Psalm 27:1 The Lord is my light and my salvation – whom shall I fear? The Lord is the stronghold of my life – of whom shall I be afraid?
Have you ever been accused of using religion as a crutch?
My response is I do use Jesus as a crutch because I believe He has asked me to rely on Him.
I don’t use religion as a crutch because that is much to vague and covers far too much in human terms.
Be sure about who you rely on and let others know!

Luke 4:40 At sunset, the people brought to Jesus all who had various kinds of illness, and laying his hands on each one, he healed them.
Jesus was willing to stop His busy life and sit with people, listening, loving and healing.
When we say we want to be more like Jesus, do we also mean it?
Step forward today and just be with someone. It could make all the difference!

Luke 5:33 They said to him, ‘John’s disciples often fast and pray, and so do the disciples of the Pharisees, but yours go on eating and drinking.’
Each of us is very different from our neighbours and God accepts the way we are.
God simply would like to have a good and honest relationship with us through Jesus Christ!
How we go about that relationship is going to be different for each of us because we are different!

Psalm 117:2 For great is his love towards us, and the faithfulness of the Lord endures for ever. Praise the Lord.
We will never truly know the full love of Christ until we get to Heaven.
We love to be forgiven for things we have done wrong, an we love to be able to do things right…
But when we fall short of the mark, Jesus is faithful and merciful to forgive us!

Romans 13:13 Let us behave decently, as in the daytime, not in carousing and drunkenness, not in sexual immorality and debauchery, not in dissension and jealousy.
I’m sure when any of us look back in our lives we will see many things which make us cringe nowadays…
Being a Christians means we should always be on the lookout for the temptations which draw us away from doing things God’s way.
Stay close to God and enjoy life!

Psalm 62:1 Truly my soul finds rest in God; my salvation comes from him.
We may often say Christ is our Salvation and we find rest and peace in Him…

Psalm 8:4 what is mankind that you are mindful of them, human beings that you care for them?
One of the things which baffles me at times is why God would choose to be mindful of little old me!

Psalm 22:26 The poor will eat and be satisfied; those who seek the Lord will praise him – may your hearts live for ever!
Right from the start God has tried to get people to look after the world – and that includes people looking out for people!
Christianity is not an exclusive club but a way of life where we share the love of Christ alongside the gospel.
Look out for the people close to you who are in need; that is where God wants you to start!

Do you know just how much God is relying on you to teach others the gospel?
God has placed a great burden of trust and reliance on each of us to carry forward His Word into the world.
He has given us all we need and has provided us with a rich history to show people this is all His doing!
