For if any be a hearer of the word, and not a doer, he is like unto a man beholding his natural face in a glass: For he beholdeth himself, and goeth his way, and straightway forgetteth what manner of man he was. James 1:23,24
While I was visiting with my friend this week we went to the Mall a couple of days. Most of the time we would just walk along and look in the windows and then if anything jumped out at us we would go into the store and look around some more and then maybe we would purchase something. So mostly we were just window shopping. Some of us as Christians are just window shoppers. We go to the church that looks the prettiest on the outside or the one that is the most popular. We listen only to the sermons that are appealing to our ears. If we hear something really interesting we might actually pay attention that Sunday. If it’s truly interesting we might even take notes, and if the preacher really drives it home we might actually try to live it for the next week. We browse through the word and we pick and choose which verses we want to obey. Why are you attending church? Are you really there for the gospel, to seek the truth, to worship a holy God, or are you just window shopping?

About Me
- Becky
- Macon, MS., United States
- I was born and raised in Mississippi and it’s where I live today with my husband of 26 years, Mike. The Lord blessed us with three beautiful children, Lesley, Sarah and Shannon. Accepting the role of caretaker, I moved into my parents’ home to care for my mother, who suffers with cancer, and my father, a great man of faith in Jesus Christ, who recently passed away after his long battle with Alzheimer’s. Loss is, unfortunately, no stranger to me. I was 29 when, my sister and best friend passed away from heart complications at the ripe age of 28. I am comforted knowing they are both reunited with our heavenly father in Heaven. Through my 51 years, I have experienced most of what the world has to offer and found my peace, joy and hope in Christ alone. I have worked as a software trainer for 12 years, but my true passion is loving people. My burden for souls is unquenchable. I maintain an unyielding stance against phariseeism. I am an outgoing, opinionated, intuitive, generous, passionate, forgiving free spirit, who loves the Lord above all else. While reading my blog it is my desire that you experience the Presence of Almighty God.
