The Knowledge of God

Great day with God's people at Fellowship yesterday. It is always a blessing to see people profess Christ as Lord and Savior and to see others make commitments to become growing followers of Jesus Christ!

Thought for the day
Romans 1:28 And even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge, God gave them over to a reprobate mind, to do those things which are not convenient;

To know God is the highest privilege that we can enjoy as human beings. In John 17:3 Jesus said that knowing God is the essence of eternal life. I look back with tremendous gratitude and thankfulness to the day when I received Christ as my Lord and Savior. I have been changed from a sin loving, self-destructive person to a child of God made over in His image! This verse really brings out the sadness of a person who is pushing God out of his or her life to the point where he or she doesn't even want to think about Him. Unfortunately, this I believe is where we find ourselves heading in our nation today. Society is attempting to remove the knowledge of God out of every area of life possible with the hopes of one day containing Him within the four walls of the worship house alone. I am committed to opposing this trend by faithfully proclaiming the name and knowledge of God to anyone who will hear.

Application
Tell someone about Jesus today; speak up for Him at every opportunity. It is for the good of each person individually and to our nation as a whole!
