"...let us lay aside every weight, and the sin which doth so easily beset us, and let us run with patience the race that is set before us.! Hebrews 12:1
I believe there is a certain discipline that belongs to every child of God. He does not have time to participate in good things because there are too many best things. People sometimes ask me, "Oh, have you read thus and such a book? It's so good." I say "No, I haven't." And I think, "Where on earth did you ever get time to read that? I haven't even read all the best books through yet. How am I going to have time to read good books?" I may be old fashioned, but I'm amazed at how many people spend so much time doing good things, but never have time for the best things. And for that matter, my opinion is, good things are bad things when they keep you from best things. Life would be simple if it were a choice between good and bad. But it's a choice between good and best. One person asked me if I had gone to the 500 mile race, well I said no, because I went to church. That is the best thing I could do on Sunday. Have you ever wondered why our "so called" God fearing Nation always seems to have good things on Sunday, and if we participate in them, we miss the best thing we could do on Sunday. "Just sayin"
