Stepping Out on the Ledge

On a Daily Basis how many times do we let what others think over come our faith?

How many times is our Faith challenged?

And how do we overcome the obstacles?

There is a time in a new Christians life when the promises of Christ fill their life and they feel the urge to go out into the world and spread God's love to all things that live and breathe. This fire usually comes after being saved or a retreat of some kind. There nothing better than fired up Christians, but to often we let this roaring fire diminish into a dim glow of a spark that hardly anyone can see.....

To often we let the world sink back into our lives and take hold of hearts. To take a true stand for Christ we must latch on to the promises and truths of Christ and allow only those things to consume our heart. We must let our faith boom and allow our passion about Christ shine as bright as the sun through our actions and our attitudes.

(James 1:22-25)
God says: "Do not merely listen to the Word and so deceive yourselves. Do what it says. But the man who looks intently into the perfect law that gives freedom, and continues to do this, not forgetting was he has heard, but doing it--he will be blessed in what he does."

As Christians it can be easy at any step of our spiritual journey to let go of the lessons that we hear and to allow the teachings of the Bible to go in one ear and out the other. Though every walk in our spiritual journey will present new challenges it will also unlock opportunities to learn about and serve our Lord Jesus Christ.

I encourage you to continue on your spiritual walk with Christ and take His teachings to heart and may we all implement them into our daily lives as we truly strive to serve Him

God be with you all and if there are any questions feel free to comment or email me.

  1. Codi, thank you so much for starting to do this. I agree one hundred percent, it is great to be on fire for God! But, then again, the fire always seems to dim out. I also challenge everyone to keep that fire raging strong. God Bless!
