Just me trying to be honest with God.

It is easy to idolize the means to an end so that we get stuck on the means, and consequently never reach the end.

"These people come near to me with their mouth and honor me with their lips, but their hearts are far from me.” Is.29

The devil would have us make an idol out of prayer or Bible study or church life, even make a religion of it. Jesus does not invite us to spend time praying and reading the Bible but to spend time with Him. Do not substitute a relationship with God for church or with any of the means He has appointed to help get to know Him. Use the appointed mean, just make sure your are seeking God not just some religious checklist. Conversations Within” ts 1/9/2014 (Jax, FL)
