Thought for the day

• Every dollar you make
• Every relationship you have
• Every business you venture into
• Every goal - every desire - every dream
• Every breath
• Every thought

Must be to the glory of God.

• Who has been telling you differently?
• Who taught you that it is OK to make up your own rules about how to live?
• Who has been exploiting you to believe that Christianity has nothing to do with Christlikeness?
• Who has been telling us that "All paths lead to God?"
• Who has bee selling you that you are a better class of person if you own more things?
• Who has been teaching you that it is better to expose your children to the world early so they can get use to it? You had better hope and pray they never get use to it.
• Who has been feeding you the lie that a little leaven doesn't leaven the whole lump?

God is not pleased when you take His Word as just another philosophy or as a suggestion. God says to us in 2 Corinthians 10:5, We are to be "Casting down imaginations, and every high thing that exalteth itself against the knowledge of God, and bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ;" Your thoughts matter to the extent that they determine whether you are listening to God and moving according to His will or you are not listening and moving according to your will."
