No Matter What

What Are You Pursuing?
I have been thinking recently about the things that people pursue. There is the pursuit of happiness, the pursuit of significance, the pursuit of health, and of course the pursuit of economic stability. My strong encouragement to you would be the PURSUIT OF HOLINESS. Jerry Bridges, in his book of the same title states, "Our first problem is that our attitude toward sin is more self-centered than God-centered. We are more concerned about our own 'victory' over sin than we are about the fact that our sins grieve the heart of God." God wants us to walk in obedience--not victory. Obedience is oriented toward God; victory is oriented toward self. There is absolutely nothing more exciting than this pursuit where you will be challenged every single day to obey God's command of holiness. stay off the paved road --Craig
