it's all about God stupid!

During the 1992 Clinton campaign, a slogan surfaced to get people's attention,"It's the economy stupid." It must of had some success geting people to focus on the issue. An evangelical thinks Christians should have a similar slogan written on their foreheads or on their shirts that states,"It's about God, stupid!"

What are we about? What are you about? Our culture says, "Life is all about you." We are convinced, "It's all about me." What does God, our Creator, our Designer, what does He say about the subject?

Eph 3:19 -
and to know this love that surpasses knowledge--that you may be filled to the measure of all the fullness of God.

Eph 5:18 -
Do not get drunk on wine, which leads to debauchery. Instead, be filled with the Spirit.

Colossians 3:16 -
Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly as you teach and admonish one another with all wisdom, and as you sing psalms, hymns and spiritual songs with gratitude in your hearts to God.

It's all about God the Father, Son and Spirit.

Colossians 2:7
You're deeply rooted in him. You're well constructed upon him. You know your way around the faith. Now do what you've been taught. School's out; quit studying the subject and start living it! And let your living spill over into thanksgiving.

Let's not have to have a stupid slogan on our foreheads. Let's remind each other and encourage each other to live for Jesus and pray we become more like Him. Let's stay focused on Jesus:

Colossians 3:1-3 -
1 So if you're serious about living this new resurrection life with Christ, act like it. Pursue the things over which Christ presides. 2 Don't shuffle along, eyes to the ground, absorbed with the things right in front of you. Look up, and be alert to what is going on around Christ - that's where the action is. See things from his perspective. 3 Your old life is dead. Your new life, which is your real life - even though invisible to spectators - is with Christ in God. He is your life

Happy Thanksgiving
