Getting End Time Tuned Up

Send us Fan MailSo this is a little story in which I compare my VW driving days in which I did much of the tune up and engine work on the car myself. If I wanted to go professionally fast I paid the professionals to build those motors. Now even back when we mostly worked on our own cars in the 80’s and 90’s, we usually didn’t  check the oil in our car to see, first, if it has any metal flakes, is too dirty, or if it smells like gasoline, which is indicative of a problem with the engine or fuel system. I did say that we don’t do these things first. What we do is to limit our scope and only check on whether we need any additional oil. It is a habit of many to avoid going beyond that step. Funny how we are risk takers by our very natures. We see that the oil is at the dipstick line and we insert the oil stick back in its place and roar on down the road fully believing that all is well. Do we also carry over this habit in our spiritual walk with God? Oh, we all want more oil; well those who understand what that even means want more oil. But so lets look at the similarities of how we treat our car oil and our walk with God.Setting short-term and long-term goals to improve and increase in your walk with God is insuring you have oil in your car. It is the first step, but without further inquiry and possible discovery, we leave the cars continued performance to chance. Setting goals and checking the oil level is the first step.If nothing is done beyond this point, it is pointless.https://appliedstrengthsministry.org/
