ON THE FENCE???

PICK A SIDE ...

YOU CAN'T DO BOTH

my friend brought up an INTERESTING POINT...

he said if you're gonna keep HANGING on to a HABITUAL SIN, then you need to stay away from church.

At first i thought, what???

then he explained, look ... if you're gonna sin, then sin.

when you figure out that sin won't take you where you thought it would, then maybe you'll quit.

in the meanwhile, don't LIE TO YOURSELF and to GOD.

Going to church, well that will just screw up those around you as YOU BRING SIN into the camp. He Said, "I MEAN, if you don't plan on quitting and repenting, then why be a POSER AND PRETEND?

LoveDare:DAY 7 Which Room is your Hangout place?

Day 7: The book describes TWO ROOMS within our heart.

ONE is the APPRECIATION ROOM.

the other is the DEPRECIATION ROOM.

we will spend more time in one than the other.

if you notice more NEGATIVE coming out of your mouth, then maybe you've been

SPRAY PAINTING the walls of the DEPRECIATION ROOM.

for this week, try this:

Pick out two pieces of paper. on one piece WRITE out POSITIVE things about your spouse.

on the other piece, WRITE out NEGATIVE things about your spouse.

SAVE THESE for later.

Now pick out ONE thing from the POSITIVE list and THANK YOUR SPOUSE for having this CHARACTERISTIC.

What do you consider a loss in you sprituality???

When we fail in our sprituality we see it as a loss.
Where have we failed in our walk with Christ? Also when you fall off the path, how do we get back on it??? What have you done to make it a WIN for you?

What do you consider a win in your spirituality???

What do you consider a win in your spirituality??? Example: Do you consider a win when you are able to read your Bible every day for a week!

More times than not we as Christians sell our selves short in what we consider a WIN. How can we set our goal higher to achieve a bigger win. Also where do you set your goals in your spirituality?

Is there a right or wrong way to accept a ticket?

If a police officer pulls you over is there a right way or a wrong way to accept a ticket?

Also how should you act. Example: you get pulled over and when the police officer comes to you for your information and you act like you are his best friend in hopes of getting off without a ticket.

But being Christian men and us trying to lead by example what should we do when he/she does approach us?

Secrets: what should you keep?

When should you keep a secret?

What should you NOT keep secret?

I mean, what if you have information that could help a friend, BUT telling them would break the confidence of another ... WHAT THEN?

or how about if you know your friend's daughter is behaving WAY TO GROWN UP (I MEAN C'mon she's just a 7th grader)

AND she just recieved a PDA (PUBLIC DISPLAY OF

AFFECTION) at school. but you know this was just the one time she got caught... what then???
