SPIRITUAL ORIENTATION

Matthew 28:19, 20

For months the news has been centered on people and their sexual orientation.  I am more concerned with a person’s life orientation.  Can I look in the mirror and say I am living a life that is pleasing to God?  Can I look in the mirror and say my life is Spiritually oriented towards God and all that He created me to be and do?  For me that is to be the focus of my time and energy.  It seems to me that this should be the focus of the Church of God in this day and time, when the salt and light that Jesus called his disciples to be is sorely needed.

Causes come and causes go.  Some are good causes and need some attention drawn to them.  But in the attention there must always be the true focus.

God loves everyone and desires to be in an interactive and intimate relationship with everyone.  Once that is the chosen life orientation all the other things will work themselves out.  That needs to be the focus of the message of the Church of God.  That needs to be the focus of my time and energy as a disciple of Jesus.  When the Church of God stays on focus the world will change.
