Thought of the Day !!

but all too quickly the message is crowded out by the worries of this life, the lure of wealth, and the desire for other things, so no fruit is produced.
Mark 4:19 (NLT)

The message of Jesus Christ for us today is not just that we are saved and have a spot in Heaven. The message is that He is our joy, our peace, our everything. And the key to keeping this message real is by living it and sharing it with our words and our actions.

Somehow though, this message gets crowded out in the midst of our daily lives if we're not careful. Much too often I see Christians who are more focused on things that are to be worried about or on prosperity in this life that the messaged simply gets lost.

Don't let this happen to you. Allow Jesus to transform you instead of being conformed to this world. Follow Jesus' teachings (all of them) instead of the teachings of culture around you. Trust in His ability to make things right instead of worrying about every little thing. Show His love to others instead of treating them as you expect they deserve.

Don't allow the message of Jesus as LORD and SAVIOR to be crowded out by anything in this world, because nothing in this world is worth losing Him over.

In the love of Christ,
