Since, then, you have been raised with Christ, set your hearts on things above, where Christ is seated at the right hand of God.  Set your minds on things above, not on earthly things. (Colossians 3:1-2)

Another week has come and gone.  I would like to take a look at our spiritual temperature by asking the one question I want you to become familiar with.

What is God doing in your life? When you reflect back on the week, what do you see?  Have you seen God’s faithfulness in your life?  Have you seen God use the verses you have applied to memory?  Have you seen God show up in a specific way in your life?  If so, I would love to hear about it.  Please drop me a line and let me know what God has done in your life.

Behold, I am coming soon!  My reward is with me, and I will give to everyone according to what he has done.  I am the Alpha and the Omega, the First and the Last, the Beginning and the End.  (Revelation 22:12-13)

Monday, I shared with you some thoughts about what my Facebook and Twitter accounts have to say about my relationship with the Lord.  If you would like to take a look at that post you can read it here, Friend or Enemy of God ~ Pt. 1  Wednesday I shared some thoughts on what my Bible, conversations, emails, and books reveal about my relationship with the Lord. You can read that post here, Friend or Enemy of God ~ Pt. 2 Today let’s look at a few more things.  My hope is that we can further evaluate where God would like to use us through the different activities we daily participate in.

Friend or Enemy of God ~ Pt. 2

Do not love the world or anything in the world.  If anyone loves the world, the love of the Father is not in him.  For everything in the world– the cravings of sinful man, the lust of his eyes and the boasting of what he has and does– comes not from the Father but from the world.  The world and its desires pass away, but the man who does the will of God lives forever.  (1 John 2:15-17)

You adulterous people don’t you know that friendship with the world is hatred toward God?  Anyone who chooses to be a friend of the world becomes an enemy of God.  (James 4:4)

This passage has got me to thinking… If I were to die tomorrow, what would my life say about me?  Would people see me as a friend of God or a friend of the world?  Would people know that I lived my life for God’s purpose?

This week I’m taking the time to evaluate if I’m a friend of the world or a friend of God.  I can really only occupy one position.  I can’t do both at the same time.

My Insecurity ~ What Will People Think of Me

Am I now trying to win the approval of men, or of God?  Or am I trying to please men?  If I were still trying to please men, I would not be a servant of Christ. (Galatians 1:10)

Can I be honest for a minute?  I’m getting so tired of the same old stinking trap of my enemy, “What will people think of me?”  Oh, it’s exhausting.  Let’s just call it like it is… an ugly package of insecurity and pride.  That’s why I write.  It’s the one place I can be completely honest and share what is on my heart.  I know not everyone approves of this.  Some people think it could tarnish my reputation if I share too much.  But honestly it’s not my reputation I’m concerned about.  I want to make Jesus known.  I’m more concerned about not saying enough about my Savior than saying too much!  I want to be an ambassador for Jesus and live a life that’s above reproach.
