Have You Decided?

Last night in family devotions Dad led us in our book Christian Manhood.  We talked about making decisions.  Here is what we talked about....

Are you sowing to the flesh or are you sowing to the Spirit?

Are you sowing.....
*Ungodly knowledge and attitudes from worldly music OR godly knowledge and attitudes from God honoring music.

*Ungodly knowledge and attitudes from Hollywood movies and T.V. shows that do not bring glory to God OR personal Bible reading and meditation, prayer and attention to Bible teaching from church, home and school.  Prov.4:23

*Advice and counsel from the unsaved or friends; OR listening to instruction and counsel from adults.  Psalm. 1:1

*Unclean thoughts and activities OR clean thoughts; pure activities.  Phil. 4:8, 2 Cor.10:5

*Seeking constant pleasure and entertainment OR character building activities .

*Ungodly reading material OR reading material that builds you up mentally and/or spiritually.
1Tim. 5:22b

*Sinful, loose living OR righteous living;  Biblical standards.


And we talked about setting goals.....

Have you decided to be:
*Preparing for eternity? or living for today?

*Tenderhearted? or hard-hearted?

*A hard worker? or a lazy, pleasure seeker?

*Leading others in what is right? or leading others in the wrong direction?

*Warning others who are unruly? or encouraging of those who are unruly?

*A submissive, obedient servant? or an uncooperative, disobedient child?

*A friend of God fighting against worldly temptations? or a friend of the world, and an enemy of God? James 4:4

*A godly child? or a rebellious child?

*Bold in witnessing? or ashamed of Jesus Christ?

What have you decided?
