Clinging Vines
When Jesus tells us that we must lose our life in order to gain it, He is not playing mind games with us. On the contrary, He is giving us words that could make the difference between life and death. If we ignore His words, we could find ourselves in a kind of
living death. But if we take His words into ourselves and live by them, we could start to experience life as Jesus wished us to experience it.
There are many things we tend to cling to, but
one thing that many of us cling to are our ideas. In our lives, many of us cling to destructive, or simply false, ideas that prevent us from really living healthy and full lives. Clinging to old and outworn ideas is the
surest way to prevent growth in our lives, and, in
fact, such clinging prevents growth in understanding of one another and of life, in general. It can also put a roadblock in our love for one another.
Clinging to old and outworn ideas can also prevent
proper and life-giving respect for our environment. It
can hinder progress and keep us enslaved to inefficient and backward ways of doing things. Actually it is hard to imagine the wide-ranging and devastating effect that such clinging can have in our lives and in our world.
If it is true that we carry around within us so many unexamined ideas about our lives, then why don’t we just stop, examine our ideas and then
change our lives accordingly? Why? Because the cost is too high. If we really looked closely at many of our ideas, we would soon see that our false ideas protect
us. They protect us from being just, compassionate, kind, human, understanding and so forth. May we all have the wisdom to look closely at the many ideas which push us through life, and the courage to let die what needs dying, and to embrace what gives life.

If My people who are called by My name will humble themselves, and pray and seek My face, and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, and forgive their sin and heal their land. - 2 Chronicles 7:14
During Lent, between February, 22nd and April 1st, 2012, people of faith will gather together in 258 cities from coast to coast in the United States plus Canada, England, Australia and Spain to hold 40 Days for Life campaigns in fervent prayer and fasting for an end to abortion.
Locally, peaceful prayer vigils will take place outside the abortion facility at 1901 Morgan Avenue at Crosstown Expressway on Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Thursdays from 8 am to 5 pm. Sacred Heart Church - Rockport is scheduled for anytime during the Tuesday morning shift which is 8 am and 12:30 pm.
