Unbreakable
When I was younger I really enjoyed comic books. There was something that was adventurous about reading a comic. Perhaps it was the fairytale, make believe quality that drew me into the story. One thing that I loved was the indestructible, or unbreakable ability of the super hero. There was absolutely nothing that could destroy the super hero. As a Christian, I wonder if many of us have that same attitude when it comes to our Christianity. It becomes more of a temptation when you have been a believer for a number of years. When Paul was writing to the Corinthians he said, "Therefore let him who thinks he stands take heed lest he fall." 1 Cor 10:12 The writer of Proverbs says, "Can a man take fire to his bosom, and his clothes not be burned?" Prov 6:27 As a Christian we must always remember that we are not a super hero. We are not indestructible, or unbreakable. As soon as we think we are, we stumble. We have to stay connected to Christ, continue you in his word, and be accountable to our fellow Christians. If we do this, we will definitely overcome our greatest villain Satan.

I wanted to share this because as a Pastor this is my greatest struggle, pb...
I think everyone at one point or another in their life has struggled with this... we think were so amazing and nothing will bring us down. I know God humbles us thru trials.... that is why were always suffering from attacks from Satan. It teaches us that we can't do it without Christ as our center. Considering a lot of us has been attacked the last few weeks... it only humbles u to know that only he can make this better.
I get so angry and I struggle with that on a regular basis... but I know that he makes me accountable for every word, thought, or action. I pray that God will continue to knock me down when I get too puffed up! And that I will recognize that my father is just being a dad.... giving me that loving discipline..
amen isa,
pb...
