Good Morning,
In my growing knowledge of Scripture and Christianity, I am putting together a puzzle in my mind of what it means to be a Christian and how to live a life which brings glory to God and pleases Him.
Many of the books I have read, you can review my Books Read list on my main website, www.berenberg.net, have given me bits and pieces of the life of a Christian who is faithful, humble and obedient to the Lord.
Like all things that we learn, it is not so much the knowledge which makes us successful or wise, but the application of the knowledge.
Doing the right thing, then, is the important part of walking with the Lord.
At first I found it hard to keep my mind off the lurid thoughts of my past and stop doing the things that the Lord finds displeasing. I had a growing sense of what was right and a growing prayer list of things I needed help with.
In each instance, I have noticed that my actions and thoughts have moved away from the sinful past and toward a more humble and obedient path, praising the Lord. My mind is full of songs I hear on my new favorite radio station, KLove and the words from sermons I hear tied to the daily reading of the Gospel have helped me put my money where my mouth is.
I have a long way to go to be where I need to be, but I am happy to say that I have traveled a long way from where I started.
The Lord is so good to us. The blessings keep coming and the fears of this world continue to subside, knowing that the Lord is looking out for his beloved children.
Enjoy!
