Do not be satisfied with merely polishing your fireplace, but stir the fire of your hearts and get your own souls aflame with love for Christ, or else you will not likely be greatly used in winning the souls of others." Charles Spurgeon
As we grow in our knowledge of Christ we sometimes study so much that we forget why we study. Never let your spiritual life become dry. Remember why you study His word and the lost in this world that don't know anything about Christ. Don't let people say about you that "He knows much more than he did when he first came here, but he does not have as much spirituality as he used to have." We should be careful we don't polish our outside appearance but forget to look deep in our hearts and find the real reason we do what we do. Learn everything you can about Christ and his word, but remember why you learn.

Badge
Evangelism is not a professional job for a few trained men, but is instead the unrelenting responsibility of every person who belongs to the company of Jesus." Elton Trueblood
Every officer of the law has a badge to prove to you who he is. It gives him the right to pull you aside if you are breaking the law. We as Christians sometimes think that we must have a evangelism badge to share Christ with the lost. That without it we are not qualified to share with others what Christ has done for them.If you are a Christian, you have the authority to share the gospel with everyone you see. When you share with them the love and righteousness of Christ, they will see Christ in you. The Lord commands us to share the gospel with everyone we see. Next time you see someone breaking Gods law pull them aside and tell them why they need a savior. If they don't repent and turn their life over to Christ they will one day face the almighty Judge of the universe.

Our Walk
" Every one, though born of God in an instant, yet undoubtedly grows by slow degrees." John Wesley
We often forget that not all Christians grow in their faith at the same rate as others. As if we were a eagle jumping out of a nest for the first time, some start too soar, others have to flap their wings harder than others. But the key word is grow. We may not all be scholars, but if we are Christians we will be growing every day. Don't ever look down on those that may be slower than you. What if Christians stronger in their faith than you look down on you? God uses His people at different points in their walk to do His will? Look at your life a year ago and see if your walk with Christ has grown. Check yourself daily to make sure you are in the faith and walking on the correct path.

Prayer
Prayer doesn't get man's will done in heaven; it gets Gods will done on earth."Ronald Dunn
I often here people say God doesn't answer their prayers. We should always ask ourselves what are we praying for? If your prayers are "Me" centered they probably wont get answered. But when they are for God's will to be done they always come to pass. It is not what we want, but what we need that God gives us. I can use kids as a good example. They tell us what they want all the time but we only give them what they need. When they keep on wanting something sometimes we give it to them just to prove a lesson. That what God does to us sometimes. I am glad God has not gave me everything I have wanted in the past.Remember, God answers every prayer; yes, no, or in a minute. The thing is we don't know how long His minute is.Have a blessed day,
