New Life Christian Church

Have you ever been in a place that you wanted so badly to do right but the more you tried the worse it got.  The talk that started out as a conversation became a shouting match and neither would yield to the other for each knew they were right.  After all being right it always the goal when in a shouting match.  Attitudes flare, blood boils, words exchanged that cannot be taken back and wedges driven deeply between brothers or sisters in the Lord.  All this time satan is laughing; while whispering you were right and he was wrong.  Religious spirits justify your arguments while the turmoil of the incident takes your sleep and peace away for days, weeks, and for some a life time.  As a child of God you know what needs to be done but yet the lies of the enemy has convinced you that it is over.  It is too late.  Their is no reconciling this.  Perhaps over time it will go away.  Perhaps I can just ignore it and act as if it never happened.  Perhaps I can stay busy enough doing God’s work that it will make me feel better.  But then again, perhaps I’m just looking for a way out.  As I sit here I realize being right or feeling good again it’s the answer.  I realize that my relationship with my brother in Christ is all that matters to me now.  For unless my relationship with him of whom I can see is made right; then my relationship with whom I cannot see, can never be right.  The aching in my heart.  The sleepless night.  The turmoil in my spirit.  The looking for a way out starts with the looking for a way back in.  Whatever it takes.  Whatever I must give up.  However I must change.  It is all well worth the price to restore that which has been lost.  Now if you’ll excuse me I going to treat my brother to breakfast.  I going to start the healing within and without.   Perhaps you are looking for a way out today?  Nothing is worth one more moment of delay in restoring the love, friendship, and relationship between family members of Christ.  Do it now.  Don’t delay for tomorrow may be too late.  Looking For A Way Out?  I would say, today you’ve found it.

Thanks for listening, Pastor David
