In All My Years

The Safest Way To Hell
I’m Dr. Bob and for must a Mentoring Minute, I would like to tell you about the safest way to hell. Listen to what C. S. Lewis wrote. “The safest way to hell is a gradual slide.” These are extremely enlightening words for someone who once surrendered to Jesus Christ as personal Lord and Savior, but has slowly backed away from living a life that demonstrates what he or she originally professed. Hebrews 10:26-27 (NLT) warns us that, “…if we deliberately continue sinning after we have received a full knowledge of the truth, there is no other sacrifice that will cover these sins. {27} There will be nothing to look forward to but the terrible expectation of God’s judgment and the raging fire that will consume his enemies.”
That is an amazingly straight and indisputable warning. In today’s society, we find it too easy to let the world and its ways influence us to slowly slide away from God and redirect our paths straight into hell. We must be aware and full of care not to let our lifestyles slide away from how we felt when we first came to know Jesus. We must treasure and protect the personal changes we made from that point on. I’m Dr. Bob, and that is a word of wisdom that sounds a clear warning. It is entirely worth heeding. You can listen to additional Mentoring Minutes at www.mentoringministry.com/blogs.

Transplanted
I’m Dr. Bob and for just a Mentoring Minute, let’s talk about gardening. Have you ever watched someone carefully transplant something from one spot in the garden to another? Did you notice how careful that person was to establish the roots firmly in fresh, wholesome soil, so the plant would flourish? Colossians 2:7 (NKJV) says you are to be “rooted and built up in Him and established in the faith, as you have been taught, abounding in it with thanksgiving.” Psalms 92:13 (NKJV) says, “Those who are planted in the house of the LORD Shall flourish in the courts of our God.” Scripture clearly teaches the value of properly securing the plant into the soil. It also teaches the value of being properly secured into the soil of God’s own garden. So, here’s the issue. Since you were transplanted from darkness to light, have you done your part to flourish, as you should? Think about it and then do something today to reflect your new position in Christ. Make no mistake, you have been transplanted from soil that was dead of nutrients and filled with poisons. Now you can flourish in a garden filled with goodness and nourishment. I’m Dr. Bob.

Inside Out
I’m Dr. Bob, and for just a Mentoring Minute, I want set the record straight. God never designed us to be shallow, superficial Christians. His plan was never to have lukewarm people in lukewarm churches. When we were born again, He changed us on the inside, so we could shine on the outside. In other words, He turned us inside out! He fashioned us to carry a deep, fiery zeal for Him, His Word and His work. (more…)
