Thought of the week
Preparation
As I sat in my favourite coffee shop drinking a cup of vanilla chai latte this afternoon, I 
watched many people going about their daily business and I got to thinking that many, of whom I feel certain, would be blissfully unaware that this life is a preparation for that which is to come. They were laughing and frowning; playing and toiling and just living life as though this is all life has to offer. But what if there is something more to this life as we know it?
The Bible tells man there is definitely more to life than that which he experiences in the here and now. The wise man said, “All the ways of a man are pure in his own eyes” (Proverbs 16:2) but the God of the Bible thinks and says differently, for just as He warned the Israelites to “Prepare to meet thy God” (Amos 4:12) so, too, the warning is just as relevant for man today to be prepared! John the Baptist said, “Repent, for the kingdom of heaven is at hand!” (Matthew 3:2). He was of course speaking of the realization of the “Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world” (John 1:29) as foretold by Isaiah 750 years beforehand. This same Lamb of God says to “Repent or perish” (Luke 13:3). That word “repent” is given meaning by the Apostle Paul’s preaching as he recalls to King Agrippa in Acts 26:20 that men “should repent, turn to God and do works fitting to repentance.” That is to say, do due preparation to turn and meet God or you will, as Jesus says, “perish”.
What do you need to do in this preparation? Well, here is a web site that will be a good start: www.churchesofchrist.net/authors/David_B_Brown then click on “How to become a Bible Christian”.
God bless you as you travel and study through His word.

What i don’t realize is in truth how you are no longer actually a
lot more neatly-favored than you may be right
now. You are very intelligent. You realize therefore significantly in relation to this subject, produced me individually consider it from so many various
angles. Its like men and women aren’t fascinated except it’s something to accomplish
with Lady gaga! Your individual stuffs nice. Always handle it up!
Excellent blog! Do you have aany helpful hints for aspiring writers?
I’m planning to starrt my own website soon but
I’m a little lost on everything. Would you propose starting
with a free platform like Wordxpress or ggo ffor a paid option? There are sso many options
out there that I’m totally overwhelmed .. Any tips? Kudos!
Thanks for the comment.
Wordpress is the easiest to use in my opinion. Just start with the free version then work your way into it by getting your own domain name etc then move into a paid version where you can spend as little or as much as you want on extras like videos.
Let what you see around you inspire your thoughts. Dwell on it then let it flow. I use MS Note to jot down ideas then flow from that. Start small then work up from that though don’t do anything to lengthy as people generally will not read.
