Attractive Gospel

Would you follow yourself on social media? - Anon

The bible says Jesus often drew crowds wherever he went. Hmm!

Pheromones! It's what insects emit to attract mates. You can't really see them with the naked eye, but yet we know the process works. It made me think of how the Holy Spirit works within us. We're tasked with making the gospel of Christ 'attractive' and really the only way that can be accomplished is through the Holy Spirit living in and through us. He has the power to draw others to Himself. Who He draws may not look like us or even sound like us, but that is how God builds His house to include every nation, tribe, and tongue. The Holy Spirit is the unifying presence that makes us all work together as one in Christ. Hopefully, we all smell good enough to attract someone.

Until tomorrow...

Law of Attraction

Who you are is who you attract. – J. Maxwell

The Three Mighty Men. The Thirty Chief Men. Though David was king of Israel, he was a warrior at heart and attracted other warriors. Simply Amazing!

Science teaches us that certain animals emit pheromones to attract or warn others of the same species. It’s a natural body function for sustaining the species. When it comes to our life and relationships the same chemistry applies. The people and the problems we attract are not determined by what we want, but by who we are. If we’re selfish, non-committal, and drifting, that’s who we’ll attract. If we’re honest, self-less, and God-fearing; that’s who we’ll attract. If we want to attract a better class, then we need to improve ourselves first. The good news is we don’t have to stay the way we are unless we feel we’re already perfect. God has granted us this day for changing.

Until tomorrow……
