Daniel Fast 2011: Day 20

God’s Love and the Ephesus warning.
Did you know history left unchecked will repeat itself? Ephesus got so wrapped up in cleaning out, cleaning up, dealing with trouble, etc…. that they forgot about loving God and loving each other. Always leave room for compassion and love. It’s easy to fit in. Love is like ketchup. If you pour on enough of it, you can eat just about anything.

God’s love is untouchable.

When we begin to realize the most important thing in our lives is our relationship with God, it’s easier to put things into perspective.  The sad reality is friends come and go, jobs can come and go, even family can come and go.  Not many things in life are certain.  The only thing constant is our relationship with Christ.  When you think on it in those terms it becomes easier to understand why Jesus would dare to say anyone who loves their family more than Him isn’t fit for the Kingdom.

Daniel Fast 2011: Day 15

I know we usually explore boundaries and them challenge ourselves to cross them on this blog but today I want to do something different. When a ship use to travel in uncharted territory, it was always important to frequently do a depth check. They needed to know where they were at. Today let’s do a depth check. Do you find yourself closer to God than you were yesterday? If so, how can you build on that to get even closer? If not not, what can you do to change it?
