#knowingchrist

I really feel that it will do me good, if I write everything down. I strongly believe that it will give me new perspectives in live and appreciate the good things. I am a Girl that wants to find her way back to the right path that was designed for her.

Where are you putting your time, talents, and treasures? I have heard this question before, and in reality, it is an important one, but before you attempt to answer it, let me clarify a few things. When discussing the three T’s (time, talent’s, and treasures) I am not talking about how you serve at the church in or in the community. I am not talking about how much money you give to your offering bucket at church, and I am also not talking about whether you are a part of the worship team, club, or group. There is a side of this question that is far more important. It revolves around the time spent away from those things--away from church, friends, and family. How do you act when you’re alone. How do you spend your time, talents, and treasures when you’re alone?

Today’s society makes us worry more about how we appear to others than ever before. We are constantly making sure we are presentable, making sure that we appear to be good person. Constantly attempting to be a society of “people pleasers.” You don’t have to admit to this lifestyle, but I challenge you to catch yourself whenever you are picking out what to wear, deciding what to eat, or what to say in a group of people. 

These hidden flesh based problems are some of the greatest challenges that we face as human beings. It makes you second guess the Holy Spirit, it makes you think negatively about the way you were created to be, and it destroys us from the inside-out. 

When we are alone and away from the distractions and people that we so desperately try to please and impress, this is the time that may truly show your true heart. What do you want to do? Is Sunday morning church and your weekday small group or youth group enough? Is the bible on the shelf during the week, and back out every Sunday morning? Are you the Christian that takes notes every Sunday morning, but ignores the bible and a time of reflection on what you just learned? 

When will this end?

This can only change by the sacrifice of our fleshly ways. This can only happen by the Holy Spirit revealing the life of Christ to your heart. Once you truly know and love God, can you truly be called a Christ follower. 

Being a Christian is so much more than people describe it as being. It is a life given to us by Jesus, through is blood and death into life. He has shown us exactly the life he desires for all of us to live. A life that kills the flesh and lives for Christ. 

 They claim to know God, but by their actions they deny him. They are detestable, disobedient and unfit for doing anything good.

-Titus 1:16 >>> Nakalulungkot isipin na may mga kristyanong very vocal sa kanilang faith kaso hindi kinakatawan ng mga gawa nila ang kanilang mga sinasabi. Pero mas nakalulungkot isipin na ako pala ay ganun! Na hindi ko din naman sinusunod ang mga inuutos ng Lord sakin sa kabila ng naghuhumiyaw kong Hallelujah sa Kanya tuwing praise and worship. At sa labas ng church ‘e tila wala akong natutunan.         Ang punto lang, ‘di tayo dapat peke sa pagsunod. Na nakikita satin ang pagkilos ni Kristo. Na tunay ngang naeexperience natin ang love mula sa Lord. Para nang sa gayon, may lisensya tayong ipagmalaki Siya sa iba. At ung love Niya ‘e maishare din natin! Sa pananampalataya, ‘di tayo dapat maging mapagkunwari dahil tapat ang pinaglilingkuran natin. Dahil kung hindi? ‘E para lang tayong nagselfie habang umiiyak. Sabay ipopost sa mga social networking sites with caption na di ko na kaya.. </3..

So let us be true to our faith. God knows what’s inside our hearts :)
