Where’s Your Focus?
Romans 8:6
“For the mind of the flesh is death; but the mind of the Spirit, life and peace,”
- Berean Literal Bible
‘Christian’,
are
you
governed
by
your
thoughts
being
focused
on
people?
Are
you
constantly
busy
pleasing
people…
or
rather
busy
trying
to
impress
them?
Do
you
realise
that
this
is
the
very
thing
virtually
all
people
around
the
world
are
doing
all
the
time?
And
also,
do
you
realize
that
THAT
is
the
reason
why
social
media
has
become
the
most
popular
spider web of the world, encapsulating its prey with its endorphin glue?
Do
you
really
find
lasting
solace
amongst
you
fellow
‘Christians’,
whether
it
be
on
a
personal
level,
or
on
a
cyber
level?
Do
you
constantly
have
to
get
assurance
from
them…
over
and
over
again,
hanging
onto
the
tangible,
never
to
be
enough?
How
well
do
you
know
the
Jesus
Christ
of
the
Bible,
the
Christ
you
proclaim
to
worship?
Have
you
at
all
experienced
Him
to be enough for all your fears, your worries, your insecurities?
Can
you
say
you
have
suffered
so
much
that
you
have
reached
the
point
where
NOTHING
else
matters
than
to
be
within
Christ
all
the
time,
where
you
find
total
solace
non
stop,
without
even
having
to
go
anywhere,
phone
anyone,
or
text
anyone?
If
your
Christ
is
the
Christ
of
the
Bible,
then
the
world
will
have
become
dead
to
you
and
vice
versa.
Is
the
world
dead to you and are you dead to the world?
Galatians 6:14
“But
for
me,
may
it
be
never
to
boast,
except
in
the
cross
of
our
Lord
Jesus
Christ,
through
which
the
world has been crucified to me and I to the world.”
- Berean Literal Bible
Philippians 3:7-8
“
7
But
whatever
was
gain
to
me
I
count
as
loss
for
the
sake
of
Christ.
8
More
than
that,
I
count
all
things
as
loss
compared
to
the
surpassing
excellence
of
knowing
Christ
Jesus
my
Lord,
for
whom
I
have lost all things. I consider them rubbish, that I may gain Christ”
- Berean Literal Bible
