Back to the Basics

Whether it's work, school, being healthy or anything else we hope to succeed at it takes discipline and hard work, and as Christians we can expect nothing less either. We must walk daily, looking to God, studying his word and praying. There is no other way to grow strong in Christ. It is not something we put on Sunday morning and ignore the rest of the week. It is a way of life, minute by minute, step by step. Going to church is a discipline, but it is the least of what we should do. If we rely on church as our sole source of nourishment, we would surely starve! Yet each of us has all the nourishment we need at our finger tips. Why then do some go hungry, or are weak from malnourishment? The answer is simple, we want a quick fix, a pill, a short cut, a fast pass. We do not want to accept responsibility for our own actions. This could be a secular message, but that is not the intention, because this world does not have the answers. Get back to the basics of reading and praying daily, and see what changes take place in our lives and in those around us. Together we can make a difference, in a starving world.
