At the risk of sounding like a mom...

Your actions effect more than just you. I am not going to say every single action is a life changer, but one could argue that. If you pick soda A over soda B you could have just cost an employee at factory B there job. More than likely that's not true so I am not saying to over analyze everything, just think about your actions. If you don’t care about yourself, then you don’t care about your loved ones. If small actions can be life changers not just to you but others think about the impacted of important decisions you have to make.

Knowledge is a beautiful burden. For instance the more dangerous things you know about in the world, the more you have to look out for. But if you didn't know dogs have rabies you could die. The knowledge of your Lord is similar, but in a much grander scale. Your walk can sometime be like claiming an extremely tough mountain, but it’s just because Satan changes our POV to make it look that way. Nothing is too hard with Him. I know this so I get exceedingly frustrated when I let earthly things get me down. In turn Satan uses this frustration to create doubt, anger, or a range of sinful actions or thoughts.

Do you sometimes get caught in a similar cycle? I find it annoying that I instinctively think what I feel is wrong, and then I feel wrong for thinking those unconscious thought. But, Kevin you can’t help it, you may be thinking. I know that to be false, I use to have a ton more of these unconscious thoughts, prior to strengthening my walk. What you do and say affect what you think and how you react. Take cursing for instances if you do it all the time, it's hard to stop an agitated F bomb when a book falls on your foot. Even when you are at church and that book is the bible. Same situation happens with a person who always tries to stray from such foul words: he stops the F bomb before for he even thinks it, and ends up yelling a more suitable word.

Speaking of the bible let me straighten up a possible misconception, the Bible is a great book and can be used to teach people about God, even if they don't believe in Christ our Lord and Savior. To teach you must know it to be true for yourself , you shouldn’t advise on something if you don’t believe in it with your whole heart. It is one thing to teach one of faith with just your faith, but to teach a faithless person you have to be able to back up what you're saying with undisputable logic.

Myth- some people believe Christian churches changed the word(of the bible) to rule in England during the dark ages.
Fact : Translations of the bible carbonating back well before the dark ages have the same message as the bible has now (the dead sea scrolls look them up) because its truth.
(If you know of any myths I urge you to find out the truth for yourself just don't follow advise blindly. If you struggle with something ask someone, ask me, people can help you find the truth just make sure you make the final decision. Have an open mind about other thoughts and look to verify them.)

[ A servant of the Lord must not quarrel but must be kind to everyone, be able to teach, and be patient with difficult people. Gently instruct those who oppose the truth. Perhaps God will change those people’s hearts, and they will learn the truth. Then they will come to their senses and escape from the devil’s trap. For they have been held captive by him to do whatever he wants. ]2 Timothy 2:24-26 Pay close attention to that word perhaps, my fellow Christians do not let you hearts get heavy if someone you shared the truth with does not follow Him when you're done preaching and/or teaching. You can only give them the tools, they must build their own relationship with Him.
