GET A LIFE!


Our Pastor has been in revival at a local church and the Lord allowed our family to be in attendance four of the five nights he's there. It has been a well and an oasis. I love to hear him preach and I love to hear him in revival meetings, so it's been a treat this week.

Tonight his sermon was, "Get A Life!" Here is a little bit of the outline.

I Timothy 6:12, "Fight the good fight of faith, lay hold on eternal life, whereunto thou art also called, and hast professed a good profession before many witnesses."

To lay hold means to embrace it. Get involved in the work of Christ. Work it seven days a week, not just on Sunday.

Praise God on the mountain top, but praise him in the valley too. Praising God will keep you from grumbling when you're "under the circumstances." No matter where you are, He is there...PRAISE HIM!

Every decision a seven-day-a-week Christian makes will be based on the Word of God.

And if you're criticizing your Holy Ghost church, you need to GET A LIFE! Here's how:

*Have a touched life! It takes a Holy Ghost conviction to have a touched life. Stop ignoring the Holy Ghost. Allow Him to move in your life. Allow Him to touch your life!

*Have a transformed and terminated life! Conform to His image and be transformed. Die to self and terminate the "I". "I...", "I...", "I..." Stop seeking out what God and the church can do for you and do something for GOD!

*Have a transplanted life. Transfer your life from the old to the new! Change sides! And exchange this life for the new life!
