who have you neglected?

Who or what have you neglected? There could be lots and lots of different answers as well as various consequences from what we neglect.

Proverbs 6:20 NLT

My son, obey your father’s commands, and don’t neglect your mother’s instruction.

So, take some time to take inventory on what or who you might have neglected.

If you neglect your spouse, you might not have a marriage to watch over or come back to. That is why we need to stay connected, serve each other and work hard at carrying for each other.

Be careful not to neglect your faith. God died for you and is pulling for you each and every day. Our faith won’t go completely away, but we will get weak and not connecting to what really matters.

Another thing that some people choose to neglect is the Bible, the Word of God. We are blessed. Often we have numerous Bibles, and this age of high tech stuff, many people have the Bible on our phones. By not reading the Bible and holding on tightly to it, we will miss much of what God is saying and even fail without the wisdom He promises each of us who seek Him.

Take care of the blessings that God has given you. Watch over your faith and the Bible. Take care of your relationships and the people you say are important to you.

What is it that you need to confess that you have neglected?

Daniel 6:4 NLT

Then the other administrators and high officers began searching for some fault in the way Daniel was handling government affairs, but they couldn’t find anything to criticize or condemn. He was faithful, always responsible, and completely trustworthy.

May we have much to live up to. May we be found like Daniel especially when the tough times come.

Francis Chan's "Forgotten God" (brand new book)

One of the most powerful preachers, writers and leaders of our time, in my opinion, is Francis Chan. His first book, Crazy Love , revolutionized my thoughts about God's love as well as my interacting with God. Now it is time for a brand new book from Chan being released tomorrow, September 1st. The book is Forgotten God . This is a phenomenal book about the power that Christians and the church can and must tap into. All of it is within the Holy Spirit. Francis talks about the power that was seen in the book of Acts when the Holy Spirit began to move among people. It is true that many have avoided or maybe forgotten what the Holy Spirit is all about. And like the Savior who poured out His life and blood so we have reason to rejoice, we were made to lay down our lives and give until it hurts. We are most alive when we are loving and actively giving of ourselves because we were made to do these things. It is when we live like this that the Spirit of God moves and ac...

inspiration from C.S. Lewis

There are many people, past and present, who get our attention by what they write or say or share. For me C.S. Lewis is one of those. He was a prolific writer who continues to grab the attention of thinkers from many different points of view. Lewis first grabbed my attention when I was in 5 th grader, and our teacher, Mrs. Foy, shared The Chronicles of Narnia with our class. It was a powerful time that this dreamer opened doors to thinking like I had never lived before. He wrote of faith, of far off places and of strong figures who found their character rooted deep in God. C.S. Lewis was born in 1898 and died in 1963, 7 years before I was born. It wasn’t until his 30’s that under the influence of his friend Tolkien that he came to be a Christian. He was raised in a traditional church going home, turned away from God as an Atheist in his teen years and through trying to stay away from God and faith returned to God with...
