Life & Its Lessons

The best words of ministry advice that the imperfect Christian has ever received came from a gentleman in West Memphis, AR. His words of wisdom were based on II Corinthians 3:18


"And all of us, as with unveiled face, [because we] continued to behold [in the Word of God] as in a mirror the glory of the Lord, are constantly being transfigured into His very own image in ever increasing splendor and from one degree of glory to another; [for this comes] from the Lord [Who is] the Spirit." (AMP)

The gentleman told the imperfect Christian to look in the mirror, and see himself. He said, "That's who you need to minister to. Get in His Word daily, and minister to you!" The imperfect Christian had a cousin, that was once a very active minister in his own right at one time. The cousin of the imperfect one asked, "Who do you read your Bible for?" He then answered and said, "You read it for self!" He explained his belief in fact that one cannot save anyone else, nor can one save oneself, but one (you, me, & we) can find the relationship that one needs with Christ, by reading ones (our) Bible for oneself (ourself!) Obtaining His love through prayer each day will give us a bond that draws us closer. We need to look at -as Michael Jackson would say- "that meign, that meign, that meign, that meign" in the mirror! The imperfect one most definitely does (need to). God bless you all, Happy Fourth!

Peace, Blessings, and Joy... that real PB&J
