When you cannot remember the 22 characteristics of a good wife, the 7 steps to authority, or the 9 ways of love ......
It's time to get back to Jesus.
When a speaker insists (again) that you need to stop your bad habits, increase your devotion, reduce your worry, augment your faith, or banish your fears ....
It's time to get back to Jesus.
When you're overwhelmed by testimonies of others praying all night, fasting forty days, raising the dead, and leading thousands to the Lord on their airplane rides home........
It's time to get back to Jesus.
When you've sat through your one hundred fifty millionth sermon about giving more, suffering more, doing more, or being more.........
It's time to get back to Jesus.
When you attend another hyped-up conference that promises to be the one that will reduce all your problems, and you buy all the books and CD's and try them out, but nothing is reduced except your savings account............
It's time to get back to Jesus.
When someone points a finger in your face and says, "Thus saith the Lord," but their advice contradicts someone else who shouted a different "Thus saith the Lord," and it sounds different from yet another "Thus saith the Lord"............
It's time to get back to Jesus.
When your mailbox is flooded with a multitude of letters, newsletters, and giving requests from a multitude of organizations with three-initial names..........
It's time to get back to Jesus.
It is time to hear His voice and simplify. It's time we get back to Jesus, pure and simple.
Watched a documentary on Bonhoeffer last night. I believe this is what he sought for the Church and himself - a "religiousless Christianity" that was not about rules but instead about the heart. I pray that God would use me even half as much as He used Bonhoeffer - I would die a joyful, blessed follower of Jesus. Amen.

(adapted from Jim May, Living at His Place, 1995)
But I am afraid that, as the serpent deceived Eve by his
craftiness, your minds will be led astray from the
simplicity and purity of devotion to Christ.

Thank you...Loved the documentary...He was committed to hearing God and following him even when his society was turned in the other direction. I Learned the importance of prayer meditation...Paul
