Trail Mix - 1.7.19


January 7, 2019– “In the “come as you are” church age that we live in; I wonder if we haven’t lost something very important. Is “casual” really the word we want associated with Biblical Christianity that speaks of sacrifice, selflessness, self-discipline, self-emptying, dedication, devotion, total surrender and even “dying” to self? Dr. Leroy Forlines warned us decades ago about the dangers “easy believism.” Have we arrived at that place and is it really where we want to be? S. E. Trail
My prayer for you today is for you to possess “…the faith once delivered to the Saints…”
Weekly Memory Verse Challenge - Joshua 24:15  And if it seem evil unto you to serve the LORD, choose you this day whom ye will serve; whether the gods which your fathers served that were on the other side of the flood, or the gods of the Amorites, in whose land ye dwell: but as for me and my house, we will serve the LORD. KJV

“A handsome young man years ago who wanted to go to the County Fair. He put a chicken under his left arm and a little pig under his right arm and a basket on his head. He took off toward town but seemed to get lost. Then he noticed a cross road and saw a beautiful young lady walking toward him. He asked the beautiful young lady, "Can you tell me how to get to the County Fair?" The beautiful young lady could tell he was a handsome young man even with the basket on his head and a chicken under one arm and a pig under the other. The beautiful young lady replied " I can not only tell you I can show you. I'm on my way to the fair. We go down this road to the next cross road and turn right and at the next cross road we turn right again." The fairground is way over there on the other side of the woods. The handsome young man said "If the Fair Grounds are on the other side of the woods why don't we cut through the woods?" The beautiful young lady replied “because in the woods you might try to kiss me." The handsome young man said "how could I kiss you I have a chicken under my left arm and a little pig under my right arm and a basket on my head. The young lady indignantly said "You could put the chicken down and place the basket over it." And then with a twinkle in her eye she said "I could hold the little pig." PreachHim.org
