    number 1Blessed is the man who does not walk in the council of the wicked, or stand in the way of sinners, or sit in the seat of mockers. (Psalm 1:1)

    Who do you listen to?  Not on Sunday, but on Monday, Tuesday, and the rest.

    I like to listen to talk radio.  I enjoy the news analysis and commentary, but I have to keep one thing in mind—these are not Christian shows.  The hosts are not coming from a Christian perspective. Even though we may agree on many issues, we are fundamentally at odds.

    Again I ask:  who do you listen to?  Are you following the teaching of the Word, or of the world?  Are you seeking to imitate Jesus, or celebrities?  Are you fellowshipping with Godly believers, or the lost?

    The people who surround you, the communion you immerse yourself in, will have a profound impact upon your thought life.  So step back today and take a look at who that is.  If you need to make some changes, do so.

    Mondays are a great time for fresh starts.

  • One-a-Day Thursday, 10/31/13

    Speak to one another with psalms, hymns, and spiritual number 1songs.  Sing and make music in your heart to the Lord, always giving thanks to God the Father for everything, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ. (Ephesians 5:19-20)

    Today is Halloween.  A day on which this fallen world celebrates death and darkness.  Oh, they wrap it in candy and pumpkins, but it is what it is.

    Instead of Halloween, make today your personal Thanksgiving.  Make a point of noticing the blessings in your life.  Point them out to your friends and praise God together.  Pick your favorite worship song and get it stuck in your head.  In short, fill yourself with life, not death…with light, not darkness.

    Yes, you can still eat candy.
