"The High Cost of Low Living"--Part I

"Compromise"--go just a bit below what we know to be right.  But everyone else does it, right??

Compromising lowers our standards of living.  What we spend our time doing is what is important to us.  No time for God=God not important.

It's okay to have things, but it's not okay for the things to have you.  It's not the cost of what you give, it's how much it means to you.  We are a channel, not a reservoir.  Many times God gives us stuff to give away, not keep.  No person on their death bed asks for their bank balance.  They ask for their family and friends.

It's OKAY to let go of a person who is toxic for you!  Do not keep them just to keep a friend.  It's okay to be lonely for God.  I'd rather have nobody than a lukewarm Christian.

There is a price to pay for a strong anointing on your life.

We cannot melt in with everyone else in this current society.  Take a stand no matter what it costs you.

If what I'm trying to do is not God, then I really don't want to do it.  We need to guard against things that will distract us and pull us away from our relationship with God.  It is important in the world we live in today to stay focused--focus on God's Will and things that will add to your life and not things that are just stealing your life, stealing your time, and stealing your energy.
