I was reading a blog tonight and it talked about positive thinking. I've got my own ideas about positive thinking.
I think positive thinking is a great way to increase the mind's productivity. However, once I commented to my sister that I would like to name my church, if I should ever pastor one, "Church of Messiah Jesus, FRIEND OF SINNERS." Well, she commented that nobody would attend the church because they'd feel like they were sinners instead of saints. I told her that in order to come to God and to receive JESUS in your heart, you have to admit that you're a sinner and that you need Him. ............................ Afterwards, Jesus cleanses you and takes away your sins, and you have power from the Holy Ghost to stop sinning. Now, Paul wrote that his flesh wages war with his spirit because his flesh wants to sin all the time, and his spirit does not want to sin. "Oh wretched man that I am," he said. Also, in the Gospels, Jesus said that it is the sick who need a doctor, not the healthy; meaning He came to save us from our sins. However, I understand that people, after having been saved by God, do want to confess that they are washed in the Blood, white as snow, redeemed by the Blood of the Lamb, the Proverb 31 woman, etc. I believe in speaking the Word of God to your soul to encourage you and to keep you from stumbling. Thank God for His Word, the Word made flesh - JESUS.
