Here is what I talked about on the Thurs. call:
Self-Destruction:
Many times in life we think self-destruction is the big things. Sexual immorality, pornography, alcohol or drug addictions. But those are all things we DO. But there is another aspect that can destroy us and be just as harmful and painful and that's the things we don't do.
James 4:17 says, "Anyone, then, who knows the good he ought to do and doesn't do it, sins."
Take for example the human body. If you were to lie in your bed starting today and not get out for a month, your muscles would start to atrophy. You would be destroying your body by doing nothing. To keep your muscles from essentially dying, we have to stay active.
If we hold back from doing what we are called to do in our careers, our marriage, our relationships, then we are holding ourselves back from God's true purpose, but we are also robbing those we love and love us. If we hold back a compliment from someone, we rob them because that compliment could have lifted them out of a circumstance that was dragging them down.
So be proactive in doing. Don't think that the only things that can destroy are the big harmful things, the small things is what can creep up and get you. Be mindful of the small.
Leading men, changing lives, bringing strength, impacting people.....Alliance Strong!
