First thoughts

hi i am starting this blog to spread the word of god as far and as fast as i can. A little about me im 26 years old married have two wonderful kids and one on the way.My wife's name is emily and my two kids are hailey{8} and ezekiel{3}and baby is due may 8th. I am a christian and i am one of the leaders of my churches youth group and i am tired of youth not walking for god.....they act like it at church and go out into the world and are going to parties drinking some are having sex and all around being a poser. I know people are way to worried about what there wearing or whos going to be at church that night. It scares me to go on facebook and see like twelve posts in a week and there all about loving there girlfriend/boyfriend? When did people start putting God in there pocket and only pulling him out when they need him?? The bible “Do not lay up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moth and rust destroy and where thieves break in and steal, but lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust destroys and where thieves do not break in and steal. For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also Mathew 6:19-21  so my question for today is Whats stopping you from putting god first

  1. We're naturally selfish and flesh centered beings and to tell you the truth the only thing between you and God is this earthly body that craves many things that are eternally destructive and presently pleasurable.

  2. Hrm....What's stopping me from putting God first?

    Honestly, I've been feeling closer to God this past year than I ever have before. Just lots of things happened which drew me closer to Him. That, and Dylan and I have started doing a devotion together once a week, so things have been doing pretty good. :)

    I guess the only thing that I could get better at is spending more time with Him by myself.
