I'd like to meet:
Citizens of Heaven and those who'd like to be. Servants of God, strangers and aliens in this world.
Music:
Lately God has put in my heart to be careful about what kind of influences I allow into my mind and life. Music takes root in the soul and it can change the mind. Therefore I want to avoid anything that would plant lies or half truths about God in my heart and mind. I try to only listen to things that are right, true, excellent, and praiseworthy (Phillipians 4:8) so that no deception can creep in. I listen to things that will build up or encourage my soul and things that inspire me to offer worship to the Lord. The world is subtle like the devil. With the Lord's help I will not be lured into the trap. By God's grace I stand firm because he is able to make me stand. I recently heard a quote by G.K. Chesterton that said, "There are many angles by which a person can fall, but only one angle at which the person can stand. " I want to stay at an upright angle instead of looking for new ways to fall.
