A Thought to Ponder

"The greatest enemy of hunger for God is not poison but apple pie. It is not the banquet of the wicked that dulls our appetite for heaven, but endless nibbling at the table of the world. It is not the X-rated video, but the prime-time dribble of triviality we drink in every night. For all the ill that Satan can do, when God describes what keeps us from the banquet table of his love, it is a piece of land, a yoke of oxen, and a wife (Luke 14:18-20). ….the most deadly appetites are not for the poison of evil, but for the simple pleasures of earth.”

John Piper

Another Good Thought for Reflection

If you miss the sacrifice, you will miss your life's calling.
~ Beth Moore

In other words, if you don't take the opportunity to make a sacrifice to God, to sacrifice so that it really costs you something, you may have a good life, even a godly life, but you will miss your true life's calling. Every day is a decision between sacrifice and selfishness.

Therefore I urge you, dear brothers, in view of God's mercy, to offer your bodies as living sacrifices, holy and pleasing to God - this is your spiritual act of worship.
~ Paul, in his letter to the Romans
