Live a Christian Life 

You are a Christian, probably the biggest question is whether you will have the power to see it through. You can! The Lord will help you as you endeavor to live the Christian life. Prayer is one of the best ways to feed our spiritual lives. The soul craves for God. His presence is made real through prayer. Life can be one long walk with Christ as our companion, if you make the Holy Spirit your guide. We live and we move to be in God's will. We desire and we seek the knowledge of our way to walk and to turn as we seek to walk and talk with Christ completely. Prayer, reading of the Bible, and meditation should be the daily habit of every Christian. Find the time, place, and method that will best fit into your daily devotional life. Remember, we never have time, we take time to be alone with God. We need the courage to say "No" to every wrong desire and temptation and the strength to say "Yes" to every step into which the Holy Spirit would lead us. To do this we need God's help. We must seek his help and guidance in all our decisions in life. Living the rich and abundant Christian life is not so easy as sliding downhill in the snow. Every step forward in Christlikeness must come through real decision and determination to put the teachings and Spirit of Christ in our daily talk, walk, and attitudes. The world has a right to expect goodness in Christian people. Surely, every Christian should want the fruitfulness of being Christ-like. This is God's will. Receive the Spirit, yield to the Spirit, and obey the Spirit. Be vibrantly and gloriously alive to Jesus Christ and the way of God.

My Just Rental (Tithing)

"And this stone, which I have set for a pillar shall be God's house. And all that thou, shalt give me. I will surely give the tenth unto thee." Read Genesis 28:20-22. As the matter presents itself to my mind, it is as though there had been a contract made between myself and the Lord. And that in effect He had said to me, you have need of many things in this world in food, clothing, and shelter for your family and yourself. The common comforts of life and the things that shall be conducive to refinement, to development, to righteous and to enjoyment. You desire material possessions to use for the assistance of others and thereby gain greater blessings for yourself and yours. Now, you shall have the means of acquiring these things, but remember they are mine and I require of you the payment of a rental upon that which I give into your hands. However, your life will not be one of uniform increase in substance and possessions. You will have your losses as well as your gains. You will have periods of trouble as well as your times of peace. Some years will be years of plenty and others will be years of scarcity. For these reasons I seek no rental in advance. If one year your income is abundant then you can afford to pay me a little more. If the next year is one of distress and your income is not what it was, then you shall pay me less. If it be reduced to the utmost penny then you will pay me nothing. When I consider the liberality of it all and the consideration that my Lord has truly had for me, I feel in my heart that I could scarcely raise thoughts to His Heaven if I tried to defraud Him out of that just rental, my tithe.
