The question of the hour is are you growing or have you leveled off in your Christian life? We all hit a time when our height reaches it's peak but what about our Chrisitan growth---our faith---our trustHis will? Remember the old ad---"You never outgrow your need for milk?" Well what about our need for Jesus?

hether we hear "Well done good and faithful servant" is up to us NOT God or Jeus! Our lives are a sum total of the decisions we make and whether we choose to live for Him and make Him not just the savior of our life but the Lord of our lives.

You may not be able to control how people treat you only how you treat them BUT you can control IF God be FOR you. God is blessing and delivering many, many people today and He want to bless and deliver you.

We are commanded many times over in His Word to stand---to be the salt of the earth---to let our light shine. Why don't many do it? Don't they know/ Are they intimidated and afraid?

Why did we stop evolving? Why won't some CEOs of Internet firms let their children be on their sites? What is the truth about Romans 13? What damage did the icy storms due to Diamondhead?

Throughout His Word God commands we stand. Never at least in my lifetime has the need fpr God's people to stand more urgent and needed. Our freedoms and our children are on the altar of sacrifice and His return near!

Acts 23 tells the story of one of the apostle Paul's arrests and his boldness but verse 11 tells of God's promi=se to stand with him. In Acts 4 we see Peter and John beaten and threatened but in verse 29 Peter asks God for more boldness. We need boldness today to let our light shine.

God NEVER asks us to do anything that is not possible. The things others have done to be great in His eyes are every bit as possible for you and I to do---if we are willing.

Wouldn't it be wonderful if God said that about you the Bible says we are suppose to have a vision, a goal---wouldn't that be a good one? To have that said about you?

Some thoughts we need to remember about the rapture. And Romans chapter 8.
