Day 9

Praying and being in the word is such a help to the Christian life. I think it is easy to be diverted from truly loving Christ by good things or good ideals but its tries to take your attention from what truly matters. We want to be ambassadors for Christ telling people to be reconciled to Christ. So many people are not hearing the gospel but they are hearing so much about temporal concerns. The lost are dying without a saviour. 

I know that there are things going on in the world that need to be addressed but as Christians we do not want to to like the Ephesian church who lost their first love. I want to love God more and in turn love others more. Society has crimes and ills that will not stop. The work that God does in changing hearts of stone into hearts of flesh begins the Holy Spirit using the proclamation of God's law to convict sinful man of their guilt before God and because of that God's just wrath anger and punishment against sin will be upon them. Only through the, sinless life, and sacrifice that Christ, son of God, fully God and fully man, made on the cross can we be saved from the punishment that we deserve.

I miss evangelism. I miss the opportunities God had provided to share with the lost their ever present need for a saviour. Jesus saves to the uttermost. 

This morning I have not felt well. Still don't feel well. Hopefully I will feel better by the end of the day.

Still praying that God gives wisdom and will heal us from our past and our sins in our relationship.
