Temptation as an opportunity

Good morning, take a second to read and think about this quote. Only he who flings himself Upward when the pull comes to drag him down, can hope to break the force of temptation.

Temptation may be an invitation to hell, but much more - is it an opportunity to reach heaven. At the moment of temptation, sin and righteousness are very near the Christian; but of the two, the latter is nearer. Charles H. Brent

As a counselor, we try to help people find a way to deal with the bad things in there life - anger, greed, laziness, the list is long. The point is finding a mind trigger, so you can rethink you reaction to what is before you.

This quote shows just how close the science of the human mind and it's functions (psychology) is to our God, the greatest counselor ( he should be our mind trigger at all time).

Have a blessed day,

We've all heard the phrase before how a glass of milk can help a body to maintain good health. it helps build strong bones, it is fortified with vitamins and minerals to supply our body with the nutrients needed to promote good health!



How about our relationship with God? Knowing God, it "does the body good" your body. Being in good relations with God; praying, communicating, listening, studying, just spending time with God does our bodies Good! Jesus gives us the opportunity to express God's love, joy, peace, grace, & mercy towards others through the Holy Spirit Jn 14:26-27.


As we engage each other (communicate, help, consume food etc.) our relationship with God needs to show through our actions and verbal communitcation. We are the example! We are the "lifeline" to the world. If we damage the line by becoming too "pharisee" like in our mannerisms "dripping in spiritual pride" we might sever the connection between God and man! We have a purpose; to spread the gospel of Christ to all the earth, it will be very difficult if no one is listening! Love people! Have a forbearing spirit, think before you speak and listen, really listen to what people are saying to you. This is the passing it on part the goodness of God through you and me!

So when you're enjoying life remember to express the relationship that God is instilling in you to others around you but in a loving and understanding way. "It Does A Body Good Pass It On"!
