i have heard so many people say i cant make it in church. most all of them have the same reason, NO ROOTS.

we see people come and go and so many times ive heard them say i just dont fill it like others in the church do, or i cant understand the bible like i should, or im just not active like others are. so they stop going thinking there is something wrong with them, like maybe im not saved or im in the wrong somehow. so i hope this helps someone.

when Jesus came by and saw peter casting nets, he sad fallow me and i will teach you to become fishers of men. so he tells them that he will (teach) them to (become) fishers of men. so this tells us that Jesus did not pick his disciples because they knew what they were doing. he chose them because they were willing to do his will.

there is a parable in the bible about the mustard seed. a lot of people take this in different ways. as for me this is what i get.
it says if we have faith (AS) a mustard seed we can move mountains, we know that (mountains) are things in our life that sometimes are to much to bare. it gos on to tell us in mat. 13:31, 17:20, mark 4:31, luk. 13:19, 17:6 that this is the least of all seeds, but (when it is planted) it springs up, (meaning it begins to grow), and over time becomes the biggest of all the herbs. in so much that the fouls of the air can find rest in its branches. it tells us that the seed is small meaning someone starting out. as we grow in the lord our knowledge grows in the word, as our knowledge grows so does our faith, ability to interact in church and so on.
there is another parable, about leaven.
is says the kingdom of heaven is like unto leaven, which a woman took, and hid in three measures of meal, till the whole was leavened.

we know leaven means yeast, or to ferment. this is saying to take one thing and put it in something else and cause one to over come the other. so when we are sinners and let god in our lives, we become godly and no longer ungodly.

just remember the bible tells us to be saved and baptized. but it does not say we will come out of the water with a package deal. so dont compare yourselves to someone that's been there 20 years. strive daily to make it and to grow he will give us what we need as we need it. thanks for reading.

The bible says if any man lack knowledge let him ask of God... If we get in and give 100% to God and really wanna live for him, he will help is through. We've got to be sold out to God completely. We can't hold on to things of this world and expect it to work. I've tried it both ways. Also the Holy Ghost will help you a lot.
