This is my first day on the app, and wouldn’t you know the daily kickstart is actually one of my favorite verses. The fact that Simon and Andrew just heard (from what they knew at the time) was some random guy, yelling at them to come follow Him and with blind faith did. Each day I’m going to try to start listening for the chances to follow and grow in my walk with Christ. Looking back now there’s no telling how many chances I’ve missed because I didn’t listen,didn’t have time,or was busy with another task at the time.

I got out early before the heat and smoke for a bike ride. Praise God for a super pleasant morning. On my way back into my neighborhood, I reached back into a Jersey pocket to retrieve my garage door opener and inadvertently dropped a wrapper from an energy bar. I did not notice. A man walking along the road saw this and when passing my house he blatantly tossed it on my drive with a deep, condescending tone “you dropped this.” “Oh thank you” I said, “have great day. Beat the heat” I replied pleasantly. That’s Jesus in me. Even when others are gruff and act the way the world teaches, Jesus lifts us up to love everyone no matter their tone or attitude. I pray this certain gentleman has a blessed day. Thank you Jesus for my changed heart, for when I was of the world, my response would have been much different. Living as Christ’s witnesses is a moment to moment commitment.

In every major conflict, the vast majority of casualties are those of the non combatants... those who decided not to figh.
So it is, in this spiritual war for righteousness. As there are no middle ground in this war of good vs evil.
We are either for or against the cause of Jesus Christ.
The casualties of war are strewn across the battlefield and can be seen everywhere in the defenseless children pretending to be grown up, who are themselves now drugs, pornography and alcohol addicts who only graduate to even more vile habits.
As men we are God's leadership and authority in the earth and we are made to wage war against the devices of the devil...and to win.
We are also to model such godly behavior to this generation.
So as leaders we are responsible for all the wrongs that has happened under our watch and God will judge us for this. Don't look further than the mirror if you are looking somone to blame.
But our eyes are now opened by the holy spirit and we have been forgiven by our loving Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. Now, lets tell someone about the goodness of God. Tell someone who is bound that they can be set free in our Lord Jesus Christ. Lead someone who is blind to the way of the cross and destroy the works of the devil in our lives and the lives of our families.
Warn them about the device's of the devil.
But our greatest testimony will be our changed lives that is first lived out infront of our families. We will be tested but if we don't give up we will win.
206/365: A Good Day For Fishing
As Jesus walked beside the Sea of Galilee, he saw Simon and his brother Andrew casting a net into the lake, for they were fishermen. “Come, follow me,”Jesus said, “and I will send you out to fish for people.” ~ Mark 1: 16-17
Just as Jesus called His disciples to start the march... he's calling you to keep it going. The net has been passed from generation to generation and now rests in your hands.
Will you cast your net today? Will you be the living representative of Christ in this world... today? All you have to do is throw the net.
Don't try to fish like anyone else... be yourself. Just throw the net, brother.
