Time in the Word of God and Prayer: No Christian Can Grow Without It

Galatians 6: 7 Be not deceived; God is not mocked: for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap. 8 For he that soweth to his flesh shall of the flesh reap corruption; but he that soweth to the Spirit shall of the Spirit reap life everlasting. 9 And let us not be weary in well doing: for in due season we shall reap, if we faint not. 10 As we have therefore opportunity, let us do good unto all men, especially unto them who are of the household of faith. 


The big deception is that we are alright when we find deficiency in time in the Word of God and prayer. The truth is when we don't sow to our spiritual life the world is still continually planting seed for us to live by our senses and logic.

1 John 2:15 Love not the world, neither the things that are in the world. If any man love the world, the love of the Father is not in him. 16 For all that is in the world, the lust of the flesh, and the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life, is not of the Father, but is of the world. 17 And the world passeth away, and the lust thereof: but he that doeth the will of God abideth for ever. 

We will believe  what we read, see on TV and hear from people before we accept what the Word of God says. What is even more dangerous we will water down God's truth by mixing it with our own philosophy and personal beliefs making it of no effect. Self justification will always keep you from repentance. 

Romans 12:2 And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God.

By not sowing to your spirit and renewing your mind to the Word of God you set yourself up for any wind of doctrine. When you are not familiar with the Word of God anything that sounds close enough will sound acceptable. We need to be in the Word for ourselves and communicating with God in prayer so we know what He requires of us as His children. 

2 Timothy 2:15 Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth. 16 But shun profane and vain babblings: for they will increase unto more ungodliness.

There is no substitute in the Christian life for time in the Word of God and prayer.

Would you rather play a team sport, or solo sport?

A team sport. I've had the ability but not the desire to work alone. There's more satisfaction for me by accomplishing things with others. It takes growth, patience and maturity.

Have questions? Ask me something.

what are you going to do to change the world?

Hopefully by positively effecting and teaching all those who I can by sharing and displaying the Life of God (Eternal Life) to everyone I possibly can.

Have questions? Ask me something.

Rain (A Poem)

It rains on the just and the unjust all the same

One in financial turmoil another wrapped in pain

A mother trying to figure out how she’s feeding her family today

While another deals with a spouse throwing their covenant away

A mocked child contemplates suicide to end the pain

While life makes another snap and go mentally insane

 Somewhere else a couple has lost their child

While somewhere else a child hasn’t seen their parent in a while

It rains on all of us despite what we say or believe

But change comes through Faith in Christ if we receive
