The difference between God's side and the devil's is the difference between heaven and hell. God keeps no half- way house. It's either heaven or hell for you and me. A man can slip into hell with his hand on the door-knob of heaven. Billy Sunday We as Christians need to get of the fence of the world and make our minds up who we are going to serve. We what to go to heaven but we want the pleasures of the world also. We can't have it both ways. Christ wants all of you all the time . We don't get time outs to do whatever we want and then go back to worshiping Christ! Whats it gonna be, a life for Christ or a life of self and destruction? One thing is for certain, we all start the race of life but the question is , where will you finish? Check yourselves daily to see if you are in the faith. If you see a brother or sister in Christ not walking in the ways of the Lord, lead them back to the straight and narrow path that leads to Christ.
1 Corinthians 9:24 (New King James Version)Striving for a Crown
24 Do you not know that those who run in a race all run, but one receives the prize? Run in such a way that you may obtain it.

Train your child
To train a boy in the way he should go you must go that way yourself.Don't stop with telling your boy to do right. Show him how.Be careful, father, or while you are taking one lap around the devil's track your boy will make six.
We are the ones our children look up to in this world. If you live a sinful life, don't be surprised when your children follow the same path. The Lord has given us a responsibility to raise up our children in a Christian home with Biblical principles. We are not to drop our kids of at church while we go do whatever pleases us. If church isn't important enough for mom and dad why should the children go? Church is not a baby sitter, it is a place to praise and worship the Lord Jesus Christ that died for our retched sins.
If the parents go out and party all the time what does the child think is right? If the parents swear like sailors, what should the child think is right? If the parents cheat on their spouse, what does the child think is right? Remember that your children look up to you more than you think. They have plenty of friends but they have only two parents. When we don't walk the straight and narrow way ourselves, we give the devil the biggest kind of a chance to get our children!
Proverbs 22:6 (New King James Version)
6 Train up a child in the way he should go, And when he is old he will not depart from it.

Blasphemer
"I suppose the devil himself is not such a blasphemer as some people are whom we have the misery to hear, even in our streets as we walk along, for I suppose he has some method in his profanity, but they use it in mere lack of words. Charles Spurgeon
You know the people Spurgeon is talking about here. The ones that every other word out of their mouth is blaspheming God. Some of them even claim to be followers of Jesus Christ, how can this be? We can not do both. We either lift His name up in praise and worship as our Savior or we stay in our sins as we drag His name through the mud and filth of the world. God even made one of the ten commandments to tell us not to use His name in any way that would bring dishonor to it. One slip of the tongue can hurt your witness for the Lord. Be a witness for the Lord in all that you say or do.
Exodus 20:7 (New King James Version)7 “You shall not take the name of the LORD your God in vain, for the LORD will not hold him guiltless who takes His name in vain. God Bless,Dustin

Who see's you?
"So live that you wouldn't be ashamed to sell the family parrot to the town gossip." -Will Rogers
It is not just gossip that goes along with this quote. One way to know if you are doing something you shouldn't is ask yourself this question. Am I OK with everyone seeing me or hearing me do or say this? What about God? He see's us 24/7, He even knows our thoughts, scary isn't it! You don't know who is watching you to see how a Christian should live. Don't cause people to stumble in their walk or give them even more reasons to say Christians are just like the rest of the world.
Ask yourself this, am I living my life for me or Christ?
Gods mercy is, not giving us what we deserve. Gods grace is giving us what we don't deserve.
Hebrews 12:1-2 (New King James Version)
The Race of Faith 1 Therefore we also, since we are surrounded by so great a cloud of witnesses, let us lay aside every weight, and the sin which so easily ensnares us, and let us run with endurance the race that is set before us, 2 looking unto Jesus, the author and finisher of our faith, who for the joy that was set before Him endured the cross, despising the shame, and has sat down at the right hand of the throne of God.
