"The Ten Commandments is not Multiple Choice"
How true! You know, most of the time we pick and choose the parts of the Bible we find easy to obey and sometimes avoid passages that rebuke our wrongdoings. That's like eating an unbalanced diet because we only like the stuff that tastes good to us.

Think about it. If even God can't correct you, then who can?
Let's be honest when we read the Word of God, and let it be truth unto us... that the truth may set us free!
Put a worm in a closed jar and it will wiggle, wiggle, wiggle and hope to break free. I remembered how Yan's "gou gou" doggie barked like crazy when tied to its leash. We, humans, are a bit strange. While the rest of nature struggles to break free, sometimes we just complacently sit trapped, dumbfounded and hopeless. Trapped in darkness and bound by sin, locked in by past failures and held captive by others... we fail to choose freedom because we fail to choose God's way.
What Boon Fei shared on the weekend is so true. It is our individual responsibility to guard our minds. What we allow ourselves to meditate on can very often be harmful to us, if it is not cross-checked with God's truth.
John 8:31,32 If you continue in my word, then are you my disciples indeed; and you shall know the truth, and the truth shall set you free.
Hebrews 5:8 Although He was a Son, He learned obedience from the things which He suffered.
1 Peter 2:24 and He Himself bore our sins in His body on the cross, so that we might die to sin and live to righteousness; for by His wounds you were healed.
1 Peter 2:25 For you were continually straying like sheep, but now you have returned to the Shepherd and Guardian of your souls.
Let's not play vending machine with God and think we paid the price to choose what to follow. Remember... Jesus has paid the price and it is His will for us to enjoy life in its abundance.
God bless you this week! I pray that we will choose God's side... that is to belong to the Shepherd and Guardian of our souls... He is Christ Jesus our Lord!
