Things

There isn't a single focus or thought which has been running through my mind latety, just a variety of things. It is just like living in California, there is such a variety of daily activities which take place. But, life needs to have a focus to make an impact in our lives or else it is just a matter of random things.

The biggest focus in my life lately has been getting into a deeper relationship/walk with Jesus Christ. This has been happening by a variety of means lately. Every morning I have been getting up I read through our church's bible plan. I also read a portion of Scripture before I go to bed. I have been reading a very good book by Greg Laurie, "The Upside Down Church." It is a book about evangelism. He makes several good points in the book confronting the modern church. I am almost done with that book. I am starting another book called, "No More Mister Nice Guy." It is a book about not being passive as a Christian man. This is a very major point in my life. I tend to be on the passive side. I let life happen to me rather that stepping out and taking charge. I avoid conflict at pretty much any cost. This is not what God has called me to be. I have been also listening to an abridged version of "Waking the Dead" by John Eldredge. For me, it has been a very good book. It is about how we view our walk with God. It is about our heart.

So pray for me that Jesus will continue his healing work in my life. To take a more active role in my life. To make a stand for the gospel of Christ and not to have fear rule in my life, not just to drift down the swift flowing stream of life.
