Your mission, if you choose to accept it......

I'm struck with the number of people I know who seem to be stuck. Stuck in what my pastor calls "stinkin' thinkin'". We're under spiritual attack but we don't know it. We believe the lies and the opinions the world throws at us every day. We even invite them in. We watch TV, read magazines, the internet and listen to the things the world thinks are important and spend very little time by comparison with what the Maker of our souls thinks. We feel hopeless and we don't know why.

I just wonder what would happen if we took a concerted effort to truly "renew" our minds. Just like dropping a few pounds, we have to make an effort if we are going to overcome the habits that keep us bound. What if we were made aware, for the first time, of areas in our lives that God wants to transform?

So, I'm issuing a challenge.....

For three weeks, 21 days, I am committing to turning off the TV and the computer and opening God's word. Will you join me? Search the scriptures for verses that mean something to you and spend the time you would have spent watching your shows by memorizing scripture. Also, spend time praying that God will help you memorize and that He will open up new meaning of what you are memorizing. The only exception to the TV rule is if you watch Biblical TV. Find a preacher that you like and record it. Go to their internet site and watch their video podcasts. Watch him or her instead of Entertainment Tonight.

Why 21 days? I heard long ago that if you can do something for 21 days, you've just built a new habit. And what better habit than spending time with God? Name one other thing that has the potential to start a life-changing process in you.

I know we're getting into the time of the season premiers, but Satan will always find excuses to whisper in your ear. I'm starting Sunday, August 28th. If you're with me, let me know. Post something here. You may have to "Follow" my blog to be able to post. Or post on Facebook, just don't hang out there. I want to know what happens with this.

I dare you.....
