Walking with Jesus
Pursue spiritual perfection and walk the path with JesusThe Bible asks: Can two walk together unless they have agreed to do so? - Amos 3:3What does it mean to "Walk with Jesus?" A paraphrased version of this verse from Amos reads, "How can we walk together with your sins between us?" Here is another question: A. W. Tozer once wrote regarding spiritual perfection, "Is there anyone for spiritual perfection?" This theme of the possibility of being spiritually mature, or "perfect" as Paul puts it, makes many nervous. Many see Christianity as partly religion, and partly social fun, and partly group therapy. Is it fanaticism to want to press on until you can perfectly love God, perfectly praise Him, and perfectly love other people? Is it fanaticism to want to live daily in the perfect will of God?
Throughout the Old and New Testaments we see those with a hunger to know God and to follow Him. In the New Testament, we see this "hunger" in the life of Paul, and the disciples throughout the book of Acts. Why are we so distracted today? Many Christians today are not joyful because they are living sub-Christian lives. They are not joyful because they are not Holy persons. They are not Holy people because they are not filled with the Holy Spirit. They are not filled with the Holy Spirit because they still want to live with one foot, or both feet, planted in the World. What is even worse is that many Christians living in this condition will defend their choices, their flaws, their weaknesses, and their defeats. They will defend with great emotion their "right" to cling to the world. In that ancient time, many people followed Jesus. At times, the crowds numbered in the thousands. At times, the crowds even wanted to make Him their King. However, when Jesus declared that it was necessary to turn away from sin, to make Him the Lord in their lives, and to give their very life for Him, the crowds left Jesus as fast as they could, leaving only a few remaining. Not many are actually willing to follow Jesus. The truth is that among those who are saved, not just pretending to be saved, or wishing they were saved, but among those who are actually followers of Christ, not many are willing to "sell their soul to Jesus," to give themselves 100% to Him. Can two walk together unless they have agreed to do so? - Amos 3:3 What does it mean to "Walk with Jesus?" In order to walk with Jesus, you must agree with Him. You must agree with Him about where you are going, and about how to get there. You must agree with Him about where to walk, and about how fast to walk. You must walk with Him, to wherever He goes. He will not compromise with you. Douglas Cowan, Psy.D., is a family therapist who has been working with ADHD children and their families since 1986.

What is it with angels and digital clocks? I fell asleep just after 11pm and am still trying to recover from the switch to daylight savings time. I really don't need to be up and working right now, or do I? I had asked my angels earlier today to help me write some more articles. So, at 3:33am they wake me up whispering something or other and insisting I need to get up and work. Geez! Have a little heart guys! I have a two year old for pete's sake. Don't they know how tired I'm going to be trying to keep up with him tomorrow!? Nick Bunick spoke at my church years ago when his book The Messengers was such a big hit.

Readjusting Our Eye Focus Peter is a man after my own heart. I feel a certain bond with him. Perhaps, it is because he reminds me of myself at times and my friends and family at other times.

Yet we continue in our quest to determine whether life continues beyond the physical realm. There are those who believe that the answer lies in belief itself.
