Something to Consider.001

Proverbs 3:9-10 
    Honour the Lord with thy substance, and with the firstfruits of all thine increase: [10] So shall thy barns be filled with plenty, and thy presses shall burst out with new wine. 

Honour/Honor = to promote heavily or with great weight

NBC and the NFL honored the Cardinals and the Steelers, the two teams that played in Super Bowl XLIII, with great weight, by heavily promoting the teams, franchises, players, coaches, and game. They and many others jumped in to honor (with great weight) the game and to invest millions of dollars to heavily promote (honor) their own companies through commercials and periodicals.  Advertisement for this game and from these companies could not go unnoticed. Why is that? They promoted it and themselves heavily!

How heavily are we promoting the Lord with all we have and each new resource we gain? 

How are we using our homes, cars, computers, jobs, and lives to promote with great weight Jesus?

We're heavily promoting someone! 

Who is it?     

May it be the Lord!!!

Romans 14:7-12 
    For none of us liveth to himself, and no man dieth to himself. [8] For whether we live, we live unto the Lord; and whether we die, we die unto the Lord: whether we live therefore, or die, we are the Lord's. [9] For to this end Christ both died, and rose, and revived, that He might be Lord both of the dead and living. [10] But why dost thou judge thy brother? or why dost thou set at nought thy brother? for we shall all stand before the judgment seat of Christ. [11] For it is written, As I live, saith the Lord, every knee shall bow to Me, and every tongue shall confess to God. [12] So then every one of us shall give account of himself to God. 

2 Cor. 5:14-21 
    For the love of Christ constraineth us; because we thus judge, that if one died for all, then were all dead: [15] And that He died for all, that they which live should not henceforth live unto themselves, but unto Him which died for them, and rose again. [16] Wherefore henceforth know we no man after the flesh: yea, though we have known Christ after the flesh, yet now henceforth know we Him no more. [17] Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new. [18] And all things are of God, who hath reconciled us to Himself by Jesus Christ, and hath given to us the ministry of reconciliation; [19] To wit, that God was in Christ, reconciling the world unto Himself, not imputing their trespasses unto them; and hath committed unto us the word of reconciliation. [20] Now then we are ambassadors for Christ, as though God did beseech you by us: we pray you in Christ's stead, be ye reconciled to God. [21] For He hath made Him to be sin for us, who knew no sin; that we might be made the righteousness of God in Him

It's Worth It,

That's true. When someone wants to advertise something badly enough...they will get it out there. From pens to billboards...whatever the ad might be...it'll be noticed. Sadly enough, you don't see billboards with John 3:16 on them...because some Christians are just afraid of being put down. In the lives that we live, WE should be billboards for the Lord! Just as a billboard is hard to miss from those around it...so should we be hard to miss...a light in darkness you might say! Keep up His work!
