Where do you spend your time?

Spiritual Fitness

Matthew 5:29, 'And if thy right eye offend thee, pluck it out, and cast [it] from thee: for it is profitable for thee that one of thy members should perish, and not [that] thy whole body should be cast into hell.'

MATTHEW 5:23-30

Is Jesus advocating dismembering of our bodies?  NO!
Quite the contrary. He is drawing on the universal drive within every person of self-preservation to make a point. If you value your body highly enough that you would never sacrifice one of its parts, then you should esteem your spiritual well being much higher.

Ever since the fall of Adam and Eve, man's priorities have been misplaced. Great effort is put into preserving our physical life while our spiritual condition is often overlooked. It constantly gets put on the 'back burner' while we tend to more urgent matters of this life.

Yet our physical bodies are just temporary. If we live 70 years or more, that is just a fraction of a second in the light of eternity. Our spiritual man lives forever. The state in which it exists is determined by choices made in this life.

Therefore, choose to make your spiritual condition your top priority. Spend more time on your spiritual well being than you do your physical well being. You and everyone around you will be eternally grateful that you did.

What do you follow?

Do you believe what you see or more importantly what you know to be true?

How do people get so bad and evil?

 The world leads everyone to believe that there are not any repercussions for personal selfish gains! This is because most things are part of the law system wich varies and cast doubt upon any such actions!  This allows humans to conceive a false belief that if you want it just go for it!   Which is a lie or Deception of the Highest order! 

Then as the world has seen fit to classify and operate lies or misconceptions: An old jest runs to the effect that there are three degrees of comparison among liars. There are liars, there are outrageous liars, and there are scientific experts. This has lately been adapted to throw dirt upon statistics. There are three degrees of comparison, it is said, is lying. There are lies, there are outrageous lies, and there are statistics.
