IF YOU ARE LUCKY YOU CAN REMEMBER A FEW THINGS YOU LEARNED IN HIGH SCHOOL… BUT PROBABLY NOT AS MUCH AS YOU THINK.

 

Stephen Glenn shares a story about a friend and colleague of his (Morton Adler) who for years tested Sr. High students who had recently graduated from high school.  He gave them the same exams that they had taken 6 weeks previous.  Only one out of nine could pass them.  His conclusion was that our education system has taught kids how to binge and purge information, but we have failed at teaching them how to learn.  They have learned to beat the system, not to learn what is important. Scientists report that noise has a definite effect on our working efficiency Noise increases the pulse, quickens the blood pressure, and upsets the normal rhythm of the heart Spiritual noise has just as bad an effect on spiritual life The man who is occupied with the things that keep him from hearing the voice of God in his heart is spiritually frustrated It is impossible for those who are spiritually noisy to have true peace of mind, peace of heart, and peace of soul! This is why God has said, "Be still, and know that I am God..." (Psalms 46:10)

ARE YOU READING PRAYING AND OBEYING?

Obeying… doing what he is asking you to do? That is the fun part of walking with Christ. 

"When people are not happy doing what they do, they  don't do it as well as when they are happy."-Tom Landry, football coach

 

 

If your walk is boring… listen for Gods voice and do what you think he is telling you to do.

 

 

The biggest obstacle… what if I thought I heard Gods voice and I didn’t? 

So what? You fail, you laugh, you learn. I fail all the time. I constantly ask people questions like “hey does the name Charice mean anything to you?

Hey is your left leg hurting?

Hey did you recently have something hit you hard at home with your husband?

 

 

If you learn to celebrate effort and not just victory, then life can be a blast!  

 Again, want to make your Christian walk more exciting? Listen and step out… fail and laugh, fail and learn and of course step out and hit the mark in the process!
