Alex on #Do

For years, I had a Wednesday night / Sunday morning faith. I "picked up" Jesus like a bookbag or a jacket when I walked into church, Bible class, or my grandma's house. Jesus seemed to live in my back pocket, and I could pull him out when I wanted him, or shove him back when I was finished with him.
But that changed one day. Because I found out that Christianity isn't about Jesus in my pocket. Or a little Jesus on the side. Josh told us tonight that Jesus isn't a 30-second blip on iTunes. He's the full song. He isn't a little department in our lives. He should be our lives. He should fill all our lives.
Recently, I began a daily devotional/Bible study time with God. I found a great time, got a new Bible, and started to waste less time each morning. I carved out some moments to spend with the God who made me. I had some extra minutes in the morning, and I decided to spend them with God instead of on Facebook.
So, I urge you, don't spend your life in a Wednesday night faith. Find Jesus for yourself. For me, that means 15 minutes each weekday morning at the kitchen table with some poptarts. For you, it could mean listening to an Audio Bible each morning on the way to school. Or flipping open a devotional book to read at night. Whatever it is, Jesus must be more than an hour and a half on Wednesday nights. He must be your life.

But if you look carefully into the perfect law that sets you free, and if you do what it says and don’t forget what you heard, then God will bless you for doing it.
James 1:25
