What is your mindset?

I encouraged you to consider your mindset in my last writing. Immediately after I received calls requesting that I post the next topic I stated was to come, Truth the Unpopular Gospel. I have purposely restrained from posting because I believe that the mindset of most is to read or hear something once and determine “I've got it, what's next”. Instead of taking the time to meditate on the validity of what was said and/or to examine within if it is relevant to them. This practice is at least unprofitable and at most dangerous. Most church folk have been trained to expect to hear a “fresh” word a few times a week. Seldom do people take the time to first hear what is said, then work to understand what is said and lastly as applicable apply what is said.

It has taken me quite a while to accept that I don’t have the power to make anyone get or do anything. In fact I’m still working on that. However, I can and do write what I know to be true and I post in a manner that might cause you to pause and think. Perhaps even go back and read what was said previously. Who knows maybe you’ve been examining your own mindset since the last post. I hope so. And I pray that each post helps you in your journey in life.
