1cor 9:21
"when i am with the gentiles,who do not have the law, i fit in with them as much as possible. in this way, i gain their confidence and bring them to Christ. but i do not discard the Word of the Lord, i obey the law of Christ"

the lesson today was establishing common grounds with people so as to lead people to Christ..
when i saw the "list of things that could be common grounds" and saw "military service" it struck me of the opportunities i missed. prob losing sight of God then, i was less and less in tuned to His voice.. well, gotta buck up, not becos its something i MUST do, but something i want and desire to do.

To Love God for loving me.

in love for God, and in love for my unsaved friends and family members, i will say this in declaration that i honour my friendships and relationships, and not fall into mr d.evil's trap of "make friends JUST to "MAKE" them know Jesus" but out of a loving heart and loving nature, to desire for them to know my Savior.

this is besides the point, but i like this:
-happiness of your life depends on the quality of your thoughts
-you have power over your mind, not outside events
-your life is what your thoughts make it

"teach me to guard my thoughts, so that i may know the lies of the evil one, and guard my heart and mind with the sword- Your Word oh Lord" -sam
