My Life Aps-Part 1

So Andy Stanley started a new series at church on Sunday called Life Aps. It's shaping up to be a pretty good series. I think it will be very informative. The premise is to discuss, and help apply five things that God calls us as Christians to do while here on earth. His plan is to discuss these over the next six weeks, with this first part being the introduction.

He opened the series by stating that the Ten Commandments were meant for the nation of Israel(people who had a relationship with God) not everyone. He then spoke about how the worst thing we as Christians can do is to judge the "outsiders" Those who are not in relationship. In fact, he went as far as to say that was what turned alot of folks off of religion. Never thought about it, but it makes sense.

James 1:22-24 says this:

"Do not mearly listen to the word, and so deceive yourselves. Do what it says. Anyone who listens to the word, but does not do what it says is like a man who looks at his face in the mirror and, after looking at himself, goes away and immediately forgets what he looks like"

He went on to say that we do this. All the time. I am terribly guilty of this. I go to church, but rarely apply what I've learned. Wow, that sounds worse than it did in my head. Its true though. He challenged us to care more about what our "Spiritual mirror" looks like, than our "physical mirror" He said he bet the world would be a different place if all people thought about that every time they looked in the mirror. Then Challenged us to do so this week.

So I must say. I watched it yesterday, so I am only accountable for today, but I still failed miserably! It might have had the fact that I had a pretty important interview this morning, and I needed to look good...er, better than I already do, regardless, here's hoping tomorrow will be better.
