here i am on call for the 5th night out of 8 nights. i did get to run this morning, 3 miles. guess what. my last 3 miler i finished in just under 28 minutes, which was my fastest to that point. this one i finished in just under 27 minutes! it would have been a little faster too but i had to wait on a truck to pass bye. i did not get to shoot my bow today. i was going to at lunch then some co-workers wanted to go to lunch. then i was going after work and the range was closed, then i thought i would come home and shoot and a horrible thunderstorm started. which was o.k. because i immediately got a call and had to see 2 emergencies in a row and just got home at about 11pm. i do have to run 5 miles tomorrow to stay on track. hopefully it will not rain me out.
"Enemy-occupied territory- that is what the world is." C.S. Lewis. this is one of the unique truths in the the Christian life. everyone who is not a Christian is against is, and many do not even know it. the ones that do not know it may be the worst enemies. because they are nice and teach us to be tolerant of others' non-Christian beliefs. Jesus was not tolerant of others beliefs, those beliefs are the beliefs that get people into hell, no matter how nice they are. so, we have to always remember, every non-Christian in the world is against us, AND that we have to love them. "for if we make friends of our enemies, are we not destroying them?" so many times we want to follow along with the world and its popular views, and one of those views is that nice people go to heaven. but that is not true. those who are saved by God through Jesus go to heaven, no one else. i challenge everyone reading this to pray for the lost this week, in general, and pick one individual out and pray for them all week long. also pray for compassion and understanding of the lost. pray too for the end of tolerance by Christians, the lost are depending on each one of us!
