Hello friend,
First off today I would
like to apologize for how long it has taken me to update my blog. Life has kept
me very busy with my You-tube show that I just concluded and Bible studies that
I have been attending. It has been fun, but I am thankful to be back doing the
Lords work.
I have a very legitimate
concern for the state of our country. People don’t read their Bible anymore. Christians
will go extended amounts of time without reading the Word. This truly disheartens
me because I understand why they aren’t. I also know the consequences that can
come from an absence from God’s word. It can be difficult to pick it up, and there
have been many times where I have gone weeks without reading it. I know for a
fact that I am saved, but sometimes it can be difficult to strive for
perfection, especially when you don’t find yourself growing. This is often what
can cause absenteeism in the spirit. Over the past two months, I have been reading
the Bible nearly every day. I have been noticing the success of my life improving,
and thank God, I know that the flesh has less hold on me now than what it did
when my life was lacking God’s word.
James 4:7 says – “Submit
yourselves, then, to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you.” Do you want to resist the devil? Of course
you do. Paul told us how to do this in Romans 10:17 – “So faith comes from
hearing, and hearing through the word of Christ.” A strong spirit comes from
having faith and reading the word. This will grow us, and the stronger our
sprit is, the more equipped we will be to face up against the coaxing of our
flesh.
The philosophy that this
world has is wrong. People will claim that life is gray, lacking the separation
of black and white. I totally disagree. Because we live on this planet and have
flesh, it may appear to us this way as well, but when we read God’s word, we
will be able to distinguish the two more easily. As a Christian brother, I
would challenge you to read one chapter or more of the Bible each day and see
how the word of God can aid in the improvement of your quality of life.
In Christ,
Noah Brewster
