Preparing for greatness and living for the Lord

It's funny sometimes when you think that everything is coming up roses, only to find that you've been looking at the wrong flower pot. As some of you may know, I'm a student of history. I like to find out new things about people, places and things that have been around for a while. In some sense, it is almost like preparing for greatness or discovering a whole new world that you never knew existed. It's also funny when your enemies are extremely interested in what you're attempting to do for your community, only to find out the only reason they're extremely interested is that they long to find something on you that they can press. I know in my case, it is because of my stand in regards to sexual immorality. I've made myself pretty clear that it's unacceptable to me and I won't tolerate it.

Yes, I admit that this is a very unpopular stance...but if I'm living for the Lord instead of me...then I need to take it. I don't want people to think that I'm cold. I do pity those who are even now falling prey to the lies that swarm around them like bees to honey. They have no moral compass.

I guess that is why I emphasize the church so much...because they are supposed to be the beacons in a dying world. It is the churches that hold out their hands to those who are suffering. It is also the churches where there are true believers that suffer for their faith.

I think we all need to prepare for greatness and reach out. Only when they see us living the life the Lord wants us to live for him, will they really see the truth.
