A Good Information Source

Consider the source…. 

It’s pretty easy these days to learn just about anything on the internet. 

What is interesting to me is that our whole culture seems to be adapting to this form or information gathering. 

While this is helpful to have instant access, it can also be harmful at times if we don’t consider the source. 

Most information is fueled by a person or host site. 

Depending on what their preferences and opinions are, it seems the facts can be twisted to carry the message they want to share. 

Our current political climate is a great example. 

I will share what I have learned from personal experience and that is this simple fact...

Just because it’s on the internet, TV, or radio, does not mean it’s true! 

Jesus gave us a great example of dealing with His era of social media when He walked the earth with His statement about casting the first stone. 

Please do yourself a favor and consider the source of the information you are gathering before you form your opinions and, as always,.. 

Check your experience … 

“but we let God be the final judge.” Big Book pg. 70 

Lord, let us look at our actions, efforts, and behaviors and leave the judging of others up to you, AMEN. 

“Let the one who has never sinned throw the first stone!” John 8:7

Who Do You Follow?

Watch who and what you follow… 

 Remember playing follow the leader as a child? 

While it was a fun game, it only required action to do what the leader did and not much thought was needed. 

Sadly we do this with some parts of our lives as adults. 

Some of us don’t give much thought to who we associate with, what we are doing privately, professionally, and even spiritually. 

Perhaps it’s different for you, but I have blindly followed only to end up in some bad situations due to my lack of participating with my mind and heart. 

The challenge God gives us daily is to build relationships with Him through Jesus, His Word, and fellowship with other believers. 

How is this working out for you?...

Check your experience… 

“Follow the dictates of a Higher Power and you will presently live in a new and wonderful world, no matter what your present circumstances!” Big Book pg 100 

Lord, let us stop the pattern of blindly following others and look to see what is good, AMEN. 

 “My dear friend, do not follow what is bad; follow what is good. The one who does good belongs to God. But the one who does evil has never known God.” 3 John 1:11 

Have a blessed day Y'all!

Suffering From Terminal Uniqueness

Suffering from terminal uniqueness…

Have you ever noticed how different it feels when you are faced with an unusual experience or uneasy situation?

 Now perhaps it’s different for you, but this selfish head of mine tries to make me feel isolated and alone and justify all the wrong elements that go against my moral fibers and character.

It’s like my head is trying to get me to turn my back on my faith and give in to those old ways that brought me nothing but chaos, calamity, and crisis.

The blessing I have is that when I face these experiences or situations today, my heart gently reminds me almost immediately of the Holy Spirit within me and that I am not alone.

I find that when I share these times with others walking the spiritual path with me that they have also experienced things of this nature, and I am not terminally unique!

Are you allowing your head to isolate you from your heart and others?..

Check your experience…

“But there exists among us a fellowship, a friendliness, and an understanding which is indescribably wonderful.” Big Book pg. 17

Lord, let us look in our hearts for your Spirit and rely on our faith and fellowship with others to immunize us from terminal uniqueness, AMEN.

 “The temptations in your life are no different from what others experience. And God is faithful. He will not allow the temptation to be more than you can stand. When you are tempted, he will show you a way out so that you can endure.” 1 Corinthians 10:13

Have a blessed day Y’all!
