Great word today from my husband ~ Pastor Marty Mason.
Message Bible translation of today's sermon: Colossians 3:1-2> So if you're serious about living this new resurrection life with Christ, act like it. Pursue the things over which Christ presides. 2 Don't shuffle along, eyes to the ground absorbed with the things right in front of you. Look up, and be alert to what is going on around Christ-that's where the action is. See things from His perspective.
Vs. 1 really should speak to us LOUDLY....if you're serious about living for Christ.....act like it and quit dabbling in the world and playing games. Wake up! There's much work to be done in the Kingdom business. Souls to be saved and the WORLD is looking to you for the answers. You may wear the name but you're playing another game. God is looking for a people that are separate and set apart. If we want to win the lost, you've got to advertise what you are selling so to speak. If the life that you are living is much like theirs then why should they change? You see God is not interested in how many times you attend church, but what you do when you get there. He wants you to GET it, absorb the WORD that's coming forth from the prophet of God and what He is speaking through Him. The Bible tells us to not only be hearers of the Word, but doers also of the Word. Doing is action! Live your life to the fullest, but live it fully for Jesus Christ. The church is your gas station .When your car is running low on gas, where do you go? To the filling station....the gas station. It don't matter if you go to WilcoHess, Kangaroo, Murphy or Citgo, when you are running low, you're gonna go somewhere to get you going again. The place to go when you are running dry in your spirit man, when you feel like you can't go one more step, all your get up and go......has got up and went! Brothers and Sisters it's time to go to the house of the Lord and get you tank filled back up with some JESUS!!! My advice to you is this......My Daddy always told me to not let the needle on my gas tank ever go past a certain point. He said, "you don't want to be found on the side of the road somewhere with no gas." Don't let your spiritual tank go empty. Don't let it get half full. Keep it full of the spirit of the living God. When you're hungry you eat. You gotta feed that physical man because your body is craving food. Just as your physical body needs food to survive, you spiritual man needs the Word of God to maintain in this life. It is your survival. Without God you will die spiritually. My prayer for you today is that you cry out to God and ask Him for his forgiveness and let Him wash you over with His blood. He died to set you FREE from the bondages of this world and the bondages of Satan. Cry out for His mercy and His grace. I promise you, He will hear you and He will answer.
We are here for you if you need prayer but most of all God is ever listening to your hearts cry. It's never too late to start living your life solely and completely for Him. Don't be so absorbed by the things of the world, that you miss out on eternity. Love and Blessings........Scarlett
