"Has it ever dawned on you that you are responsible spiritually to God for other people?" ~~Oswald Chambers

English: Oswald Chambers (1874-1917)

Sometimes I have to be challenged. Jesus does it all the time. This quote from Oswald Chambers hit me right between the eyes. I am responsible to GOD for other people coming to His Son Jesus. There is no plan B. GOD is counting on me.

"Listen now, all of you— take this to heart." ~~Jesus

Jesus challenges us to understand that it is not what we eat that is the problem. The problem is our heart. The problem is what we think, do and say. That is the real pollution in our life. Jesus is clear that it's what comes out of a person that pollutes: obscenities, lusts, thefts, murders, adulteries, greed, depravity, deceptive dealings, carousing, mean looks, slander, arrogance, foolishness—all these are vomit from the heart in GOD's world (Kingdom).

We need to know this about our self so that we can take advantage of Jesus redeeming us from the price we have to pay for what is in our heart. Jesus gives a new heart. Now that is good news.

"A farmer went out to sow his seed." ~~Jesus

Jesus challenges us to understand GOD's word. GOD is the farmer. It is GOD who plants the seed, His word.

This has nothing to do with us. It is all GOD's doing. We like think we are the center of things. Even the disciples of Jesus didn't get what Jesus was saying and they were with Him all day long for 3 years. It all starts with GOD and His word. That is the most important thing to understand. It is all about GOD and what He says / wants.
