Inspiring messages
Fact: we live in a world of media overflow. Each and EVERY day we are bombarded with information, MORE information and EXCESS INFORMATION. From information in newsprint to television to computers and smartphones, we are constantly being given messages. A few of those messages are really important, but most are not. Most are misleading or just plain wrong, but a few are true and genuinely worthwhile. And only a select few of them are inspiring. It is to this last "category" that I would like to address my thoughts today. Jesus said...
Matthew, Chapter 7
13 “Enter in by the narrow gate; for wide is the gate and broad is the way that leads to destruction, and many are those who enter in by it. 14 How narrow is the gate, and restricted is the way that leads to life! Few are those who find it.
John, Chapter 14
6 Jesus said to him, “I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father, except through me.
Like it or not, those who own the media DO NOT have a godly agenda. Just the opposite. And their efforts are bearing fruit. Think, just think of the content of the vast majority of TV programs (to take just one medium of that is available). Godlessness has become the norm since the 1960's and the effect is a degradation of the basic structure of society.
Then there is the age-old message of Jesus; HE says that HE is the way, the truth and the life. Most people will just not get this, but it is true. And the thing is- eternal life depends upon what you do with these words.
Be inspired, be motivated, to be that one person who will listen to Jesus and follow the teachings found in the Bible. Follow Jesus- live!!!
