the will of God


in the center of God’s will
today Pastor Flattery talked about dying to oneself and living for Christ... He also said that there is a saying that says "being in the center of God’s will"... as i was thinking about that ... i thought of a tornado and understanding what scientist say about the center of the storm... that it is the calmest...
Even though things around us seem to be spinning out of control we know that when we die to ourselves and allow Christ to live through us that, that is where true peace comes from. You can’t hurt a dead person. Matt. 16:24&25 says..."If anyone would come after me, he must deny himself and take up his cross and follow me. 25For whoever wants to save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for me will find it.
If we want to gain we must lose, if we want to live we must die!

Biting my nails

Ok... i have a bad habit. I bite my nails. Then i was thinking... (that could be dangerous) A bad habit is sinning also... how many times do we do something wrong and know it... I bite my nails and know i should stop but i have done it so much that i don't even think about it sometimes until someone says "stop doing that, that is a bad habit". Ok, so what do i do? How do i stop biting? Well... i could put bad tasting stuff on my nails, or put fake nails on, or put gloves on. There are things i could do... but do i? That is the same with sin... we know how to avoid it but why don't we? What do you think.... Let me know
