F4S: Ever experienced any disloyalty, believer? Ouch. Sorry 'bout that.

Ever experienced any disloyalty, believer? Ouch. Sorry 'bout that.

There’s a sign posted at the end of an airport moving /rolling sidewalk that reads, “Keep moving. If you stop, you are in danger and also becoming a danger to those who are around you.”

Static, stunted, apathetic or indifferent passivity helps not.

So how can we apply that to the Christian life today? Here's how.. decide and keep growing.. seeking the Lord with all your heart in his word.. moving forward spiritually. We each, at any given time, are either advancing spiritually (maturing) or going backwards. what's your progression or digression been like and why?

You can be on-fire (passionate for Christ) instead of luke-warm, or cold like a corpse.

Don’t get discouraged or give up. Don’t abandon hope or quit cultivating your relationship with God. Keep sowin' to the Spirit in praying the word, and not sowin' to the old flesly nature inside.. or sowin' to the world.

You can know Lord and make him well known.. by His Spirit. You can witness with confidence! Chin up buttercup -- when the trials and outlook look..well, not good, try to uplook. God is good and in control. You’re going to get through your valley -- you're never alone even if you sometimes feel like it.

There is no pit too deep beyond God's reach. There is no hard circumstance God can’t untangle; there is no knot He can’t untie. It’s our unbelief that’s the problem. Sometimes we have to be like the desperate dad in John 17, who insincerity voiced, “Lord, I believe. Help my unbelief!” He'll do it, He's faithful. Man's love.. small,  God's love huge.. yep, for you! This bridegroom is totally loyal.
