We have all heard the term “food for thought.”  Well, here’s some “food for life…it’s called PRAYER.

Prayer is how we communicate with God and there are two parts to it, talking and listening.  We talk, God listens… God talks, we listen.  How does God primarily talk to us?  He talks to us mostly through His Word, the Bible.

What a great question! Here’s an illustration that may help… imagine that you found a ring on the sidewalk.  One friend says he thinks it’s worth six or seven thousand dollars.  Another friend says it’s not a real diamond; it’s cubic zirconium (fake).  He thinks it is worth maybe $200.  Then you take it to another friend who looks at it, and says that it came out of a toy dispensing machine, maybe worth $3.

“Sin shall not be your master, because you are not under law, but under grace.” (Romans 6:14)

It is generally believed that knowing and following the do’s and don’ts of the law makes you a better Christian. However, the Bible says the law empowers and increases sin…Do you believe the Bible?

What is the secret mystery to living the Christian life?  In Romans 12:1 Paul writes "I urge you, brethren, by the mercies of God, to present your bodies as a living and holy sacrifice, acceptable to God, which is your spiritual service of worship."

I was reading an article on sacrifice.  A question posed went something like this: "Are you willing to be poured out for others, to have them recognized and you ignored, to totally lose your life to be a doormat?"  It went on and on, but you get the point of the challenge.

There was a little boy visiting his grandparents on their farm.  He was given a slingshot to play with out in the woods.  He practiced in the woods, but he could never hit the target.  Getting a little discouraged, he headed back for dinner.

Did you know that people can say one thing but really be thinking another?  Just listen to them talk.  People actually live according to what they say after the word “but.”  I don’t care what they say first before this conjunction; it’s what comes after that you hear what they are really thinking and believing in their heart.

A teacher was illustrating a time management principal for his students.  He took out a big glass jar which he said represented a new day.  Then he took a tray of big rocks and asked his class how many rocks it would take to fill the jar.  Some said five, some said six. So, he put the big rocks in until it seemed full.  Then he asked them if the jar was full and they all said yes.  He then took a tray of smaller rocks and started filling them in around the big rocks.  He then asked the same question, is the jar full?  They again said yes.

Satan called a worldwide convention.  In his opening address to his evil angels, he said, "We can't keep the Christians from going to church...we can't keep them from reading their Bibles and knowing the truth.  We can't even keep them from conservative values.  But we can do something else.  We can keep them from forming an intimate, abiding life experience in Christ."
