When your are aware that Jesus the Lord dwells within you, you remain holy to guard him in the sense that you do not want him to get offended in any way. You could also view this as the Lord guarding you against committing any sin.

Our Big Sin of Omission
The world is full of sinners. After I came into the world, I was greatly influenced by my family members, classmates throughout my school years, other friends, and later work associates. Of course, the news reports, secular magazines, movies and other forms of entertainment . . . had all affected me. In the end, I was as sinful as the average person. Sinning seems to be the norm now. But sin is to be abhorred if we ever want to honor God and be free. Nor waking up to let all know that sinning is OK is continuing committing this sin of omission.

Going Straight to God
Communion time thought. Since God is the sole creator of all things, we should go straight to him with all our problems and desires. He is to be our most intimate and trusted companion. Following him thus ensures rapid spiritual growth.
Another Look at God and Us
We should realize that all things come from God ~ our life, physical body, intelligence, reasoning power, aesthetic sense, humor, free will . . . and a conscience. Without God, we would be nonexistent! Therefore, we are to be grateful, reverential, and most of all, obedient to him ~ any other way would be wrong. If we do stray away from God, his gifts of conscience and freewill properly used will guide us back to him.

God Is Real!
Atheists claim that God was invented by believers to satisfy their needs. I know I did not invent Jesus Christ. Saying that he was invented by a bunch of people is like saying all the news I read today online were made up by a bunch of reporters. God, being spirit, cannot be proved scientifically, only my personal experience leaves me with no doubt that Christ is the Lord God. The fact that he can transform a sinner into a saint has to be sufficient evidence! Who else but God can take away all your ego?
Ego As a Cage
Ego seems to be my "favorite" subject that I must have mentioned over a hundred times in this blog. Today I see ego as a cage that imprisons us. As long as you remain in your ego, you are not free. To remove this cage, you'll absolutely need God's help. Once it is removed, you no longer are concerned about yourself and you are free.
What's Wrong with Us?
Man and God can fit together perfectly: we need God for survival now and living forever later, and God loves us and wants to renew us now in preparation for our imminent return to him ~ yet we still hold back, remaining stubborn and not giving in. Are we being hubristic or just plain stupid?

A Plan for Peace
I attended a funeral earlier today. I suppose it's a worldwide custom to eulogize the deceased at his or her funeral. If we all speak well of each other while we are still alive, the world would be a much more peaceful place.

Loneliest Creatures
Today there was no thought to post; all the more I realized that the Holy Spirit had been the provider of all my thoughts. When he dries me up, it will be time to stop blogging. Only one quick thought came to me that made me want to do this post. It was that without God, we would be the loneliest creatures in the universe, no matter how busily we keep ourselves occupied in this life.
