God demonstrates his own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us. Romans 5:8

Just thoughts...
Today has been ehh... I got shifted to another property for a few days and man is it slow here. I've was trying to figure out their accounting system for a bit but lately I've just been sitting here playing on the internet -Feeling completely justified in it since I know nearly nothing of this property, of which they are aware. I got a chance to check out some sermons on youtube.com of the guy who led my brother to Christ. His name is "Paul Washer." -Incredible preacher. He preaches to the church and I appreciate it because he is not afraid to convict and to standby the Word. So often preachers do not convict or preach boldly enough. And the American church needs repentence. Too many Christians are so afraid to "offend" and I despise the fact that I more than often fall into that category. My prayer is that God helps me overcome my desire "to please," because I know this desire is of the world and hinders who He's called me to be. Anyways, I then somehow got linked to some of Joel Olsteen's sermons and....yikes. He is not preaching the Bible. I've heard of his preaching but have never actually listened to it. It was incredibly disturbing to see his church of 20,000 people listening to him preach the "prosperity gospel," a doctrine that is so far from Biblical truth. I'm scared for him if he does not repent and continues leading people in adhering to false teaching. I prayed when I finished watching it that God would give us incredible discernment. I truly believe there is an ample amount of false teaching out there and I know that we cannot recognize it if we are not in God's Word. And that is scary. I pray we are all seeking Him and His truth, rather than getting caught up in our idealistic world. Jason and I are trying to be focused on prayer and growth but have been having difficulty finding time, which is wrong. Pray that we make time for the One who gave us time. Only then can we truly grow and become who He desires us to be. Only then can we come to understand His righteousness, holiness, mercy and love. Only then can we be servants that bring all glory to Him. Alright, I have to go home now. Thank you for listening to my rambling :)
