Hey friends,
Its tough to discuss some of the issues we have over the past few weeks. I guess that's how it goes when you are talking about Satan and sin. One of his favorite tricks in our culture is deceiving us into thinking just being good is good enough. His attacks in other cultures are blatant and visible. He works in a totally different way in our culture. He would rather us think we have enough or to much Jesus in our lives and he (Satan) isn't real. I asked that you go back to the point in your life when you accepted Jesus into you heart and examine what's happen in your heart from that point until today. Has your life begun to bear good fruit? Do you find that you are beginning to love others more than yourself? Is Jesus what you can't get enough of? Is patience, hope, love being produced more and more, or has not much changed since that day? If you don't see your life producing the fruits of the Spirit, ask yourself why? Don't let our enemy pull you to the place where your just o.k. with getting by. We all need to run to Christ and seek Him in His word, and talk to Him each day in prayer. I pray for you! I pray for our youth group! We need to begin with simply loving each other!
