Hey all... I've been seeing some things lately about grace that I've been keeping inside me, but I just need to share. Grace is a wonderful thing, but there just has to be more to it, and here's what I've been thinking. If we can just look at Hebrews 7 and see that Abraham tithed to Melchizedek, and Melchizedek is a type of Christ, and grace is so much better than Melchizedek, then shouldn't we give our ALL to Jesus?
We have grace, but don't we need to put forth our efforts to make this grace thing actually work? It's nice to talk about grace, but the kingdom needs its worker bees to take care of producing the honey! I mean, if we don't follow the rules set forth in the Bible how are we ever going to be blessed and grow into the people who God will one day finally be satisfied with, and will be able to look upon with happy eyes and not stern or angry eyes.
We must put on that heavy yoke every day, bearing the weight and becoming stronger and stronger in the process, and then we'll finally be able to start doing great things for the Lord. But if we relax for just a minute our spiritual muscles will begin to shrivel up and dry out, and grace will be ineffective. I hope you'll join me in this radical way of thinking and living. We'll start something new in the grace community! We'll be bigger and better than all the rest! I'm excited. I'm pumped! But I have to get going now. Not much time for talk. Gotta get busy!!!
Oh, and I have a very special impartation for all who will receive it. A very special word for you. It's for you only if you feel you've been putting forth enough effort in this walk. To see it, scroll down.

ReplyDeleteLOL! I am going to work out those spiritual muscles before they dry out...Thanks for the advice. BTW, where exactly are those muscles? heading to gym... :)
ReplyDeleteI got news for ya...
ReplyDeleteI've been a LAZY BUM for the kingdom, and THE weirdest thing has happened... My muscles have gotten bigger than ever!!! Really,... you should see 'em! :)
LOL!!! What else could we expect from Quick-Draw-McGraw with the Kodak?? HAHA!! But seriously! I 'bout crapped my pants!
ReplyDeleteHehehe... it was a fun day. My son printed out a fake maze, that had no solution (there was no possible way to get to the end). :) And he also printed out a "brochure" for a "Chore Camp" and he said he really wanted to go. Activities for this camp include taking out the trash, washing the family car, garden weeding, making beds, etc. =D Funny stuff.
ReplyDeleteI had at least one person going with this post. A facebook friend sent me a message saying it had been making her uncomfortable to read it, and she was saying things like "wait, huh?, wha?" She wondered what the conference had done to my head. :-D
