As It Should Be

  It’s a good thing that we feel down when we haven't at least been reading, let alone studying.   When we are immersed in the world we become like the world. To regain God’s peace we have to water our souls with His word and His Word. That’s the way God designed it. Better choices  >  better lives. Once again, God wants us to choose Him.  If you’re interested in knowing God, consider John 6:44 where Jesus says: 44 No one can come to Me unless the Father who sent Me draws him; and I will raise him up at the last day.   Prepare for the Father to draw you by praying the one prayer God answers for the unsaved, a prayer for their salvation and a relationship with Him.  The definition of Christianity is, your personal relationship with God. Everything else,  particularly our good works, is Religion, seldom spoken of favorably in the Bible. Good works are very important for showing the world about God, but they aren’t part of our relationship...

  Dallas Willard - Transforming the Mind 2: Spiritual Formation and Our Feelings (youtube.com) For the past five years or so I have been listening to Dallas Willard on youtube and he has had quite an influence on me.  Today I heard this talk which is short but profound, about our feelings and how they affect us and how we can manage them.   Very powerful.
