Take advice but not orders

Seek other people’s advice, but don’t take orders, and don’t take 100% of anyone’s advice. Make sure every decision you make is a product of your conclusion. Be a student, not a disciple.” – Jim Rohn

I am a big believer in the words of the late Jim Rohn, therefore I don’t advise you to follow blindly on what I write or what another author writes on this blog but to ponder and examine to make sure you come to your conclusion.

“Now the Berean Jews were of more noble character than those in Thessalonica, for
 they received the message with great eagerness and examined the Scriptures every
 day to see if what Paul said was true.” Acts 17 vs 11.

My words are not the standard, but the standard is the word of God. My purpose for writing these posts is to inspire you to go for knowledge, to challenge you to grow in the knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, and other vital knowledge to help you survive in this world. I do not take credit for what I post but give credit to the bible and exceptional men and women who have come before us.

Dear friends, do not believe every spirit, but test the spirits to see whether they are from God, because many false prophets have gone out into the world. 1 John 4:1

How to learn from this blog

Coming from a technical background, we have what we call conditionals. Conditionals are simply ‘if and else’ statements that result in one or the other. I believe that Jesus Christ is Lord and that He is alive.

I take pride in that I am a Christian, not a perfect one, but a progressing one. As you read through the posts you may notice that l use conditionals in many areas. My focus is on those who have accepted Christ and those who want to know more about him.

I want to challenge you, the reader – to stop, think, and make your own decisions. ‘A man convinced against his will is of the same opinion still ‘, Dale Carnegie. Forcing you to accept what I believe is a waste of time, as long as it is not a heartfelt decision from your side. Salvation is a personal decision.

Next Steps

If you have received Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior, and are already going to a bible believing church. The next step you could take is to study your bible to see if what you read here is true. Would you like to walk and live in fellowship with God through Jesus Christ? Here is a prayer you can pray to be saved from your sins and accept Christ as your Lord and Savior.

We are all on the same journey, are you on the right track?
