We must be the Body

1 Peter 3:10:10
For, "Whoever would love life
and see good days
must keep his tongue from evil
and his lips from deceitful speech.

1 John 3:18:18 Dear children, let us not love with words or tongue but with actions and in truth.


It has been while since I have posted a blog. Today I have been thinking about how we know the Truth and one part of the truth is how we react daily. Especially Christians. We should walk, talk, and act like Jesus. But there are times we may slip back. Since the DBOB, the men are now motivated! But is this a short joy or long lasting Godly JOY like one of the 9 fruits? I hope so. I have some revelation\epiphany what I can do to keep us all Hot and on Fire for the Lord.

The verse of the day as I mention talks about how we ought to watch what we say. The thing is, after we have drifted for time, we may go back to this comfortably soft zone where we were once were last week before the retreat. Devil is rooting for this. During this Retreat, this below song truly helps me to keep singing for the Lord and even when day gets busy as it was for me today, we can forget. Everywhere around us there are Christians and Non-Christians fill their mouths and hands with in-appropriate words. Times are tough men, they can expose us easily. We forget what we look like when we see ourselves in mirror? James reminds us: James 1:23:23 Anyone who listens to the word but does not do what it says is like a man who looks at his face in a mirror

I hope you all can print this song and post it in your car, at work, at home. Keep singing and meditate. Don’t worry, Lord has plan for us men. Holy Spirit is compelling me to compose of something to keep us motivated.

Lord,

Keep us on fire. If it has to take a servant like me to “Fan the Flame” so be it. I believe you are speaking to us based upon this verse: 2 Timothy 1:6:6For this reason I remind you to fan into flame the gift of God, which is in you through the laying on of my hands.

If We Are The Body - Casting Crowns - Album: Casting Crowns lyrics
(Wow good song so true ~Darrin)

It's crowded in worship today
As she slips in trying to fade into the faces
The girls teasing laughter is carrying farther than they know
Farther than they know

But if we are the body
Why aren't His arms reaching?
Why aren't His hands healing?
Why aren't His words teaching?

And if we are the body
Why aren't His feet going?
Why is His love not showing them there is a way?
There is a way

A traveler is far away from home
He sheds his coat and quietly sinks into the back row
The weight of their judgmental glances
Tells him that his chances are better out on the road

But if we are the body
Why aren't His arms reaching?
Why aren't His hands healing?
Why aren't His words teaching?

And if we are the body
Why aren't His feet going?
Why is His love not showing them there is a way?
There is a way

Jesus paid much too high a price
For us to pick and choose who should come
And we are the body of Christ

But if we are the body
Why aren't His arms reaching?
Why aren't His hands healing?
Why aren't His words teaching?
And if we are the body
Why aren't His feet going?

Why is His love not showing them there is a way?
There is a way Jesus is the way
