Another Day

It is a privilege for me to share birth dates with George Whitefield. He was a wonderful preacher that many would like to aspire to become (myself included). However, the significant difference for this year is the mark of a new decade (or the end of the 2nd). How time flies.

After a full 2 decades of life on earth, I can safely put down in writing that:

1. Life is precious and short
2. Life is meaningless without Christ
3. The heart is utterly deceitful
4. Sin kills both physically and spiritually
5. Satan still continues to deceive Christians
6. Worldliness confuses the spiritual and makes him/her lost
7. Immaturity is not bound by age
8. Maturity is lacking in many
9. Ignorance is the easiest alternative to peace
10. Compromise is poison, slow in the effect, but certain in its destination
11. Family cuts both ways
12. Peace is elusive on earth, unless it is embedded within
13. Sorrows are multiplied when God is not found
14. Marriage is the precursor of the heavenly one
15. Death is but the start of something beautiful for the Christian
16. A glimpse of heaven will endure the heart to deny self

By God’s grace, only by His grace, can one ever hope to sustain for another decade in this fallen world.
