Time to clean up.

   I remember my dad going through the entire house and burning or throwing out any thing that was not pleasing to God. He burnt up books, ripped up DVDs, threw out tapes and such like. That is called sincerity. No one can pick and choose what you decide to dump of your own things. That is between you and God. Some may go as far as David Brainerd, others maybe not so. But the point is to gather up all of your possessions and go through them on your knees before God. One who does that is truly sincere about serving His God. One who does that makes God his God.

What is my all?

    Jesus gave all of Himself for me. I want to give all of myself to Him. But what is my all? Charles M. Sheldon wrote a fantastic book called, "In His Steps." It is about a group of people who set themselves a challenge; they would not do anything for a full year without first asking the question, "What would Jesus do." To do that and act accordingly is giving my all. Before I read a book, watch a movie, listen to music, buy something, start something or have spare time and wonder what to do with it, I plan to ask myself, "What would Jesus do?" It only seems right that I should when I recall the action He took for my salvation.
