Do you have moss on your butt? Yes, I just asked that question. You’d be surprised how easily that answer can be a yes.
In Ken Davis’ new book, Fully Alive: Lighten Up and Live – A Journey that Will Change Your Life, he writes about a story a man told him.
“Most Christians,” he began, “have moss growing on their butts! The moss grows because we sit in the pews our entire lives, crying out to God, ‘If You want me to do something for you, open a door, and I will respond.’

“But consider the joy of those corrected by God! Do not despise the discipline of the Almighty when you sin. For though he wounds, he also bandages. He strikes, but his hands also heal.” Job 5: 17-18

These words were spoken to Job by one of his friends, Eliphaz. Eliphaz was attempting to offer an explanation for why horrible things were happening to Job. He suggests that Job must have done something wrong and should throw himself at the mercy of the Almighty. We know, as the reader, that Job is not being punished, he is being tested. Job’s response to his friend reveals to the reader that he believes this too: “Stop assuming my guilt, for I have done no wrong. Do you think I am lying? Don’t I know the difference between right and wrong?” (Job 6: 29-30)

I’ve been disobedient. I went to bed the other night knowing it, but thought I’d give myself one more night to “sleep on it.” I woke up the next morning and decided enough was enough.
I wasn’t being disobedient on purpose. Sometimes I get so caught up in my own ideas I forget to ask God what He thinks. I get an idea and run with it; only to find out He didn’t give me the thumbs up. Someday I’m convinced I’ll get better at this.
It’s so easy to do though isn’t it? We get a great idea, tell ourselves there’s no way we were smart enough to come up with it ourselves and therefore assume God’s hands must be all over it. I’m not the only one who has done this right?

There is a secret to getting healthy. It’s a well-kept secret, really. People from all walks of life wake up everyday desiring to know the secret.
Women look in the mirror, see a person they don’t want to know, and desperately seek the answer to the secret. Teenage girls get laughed at, only to go home later and journal about their desire to know the secret. Men want to know the secret too.
I’m letting you in on the secret.

Ken Davis asks in his book, Fully Alive: Lighten Up and Live – A Journey that Will Change Your LIfe,
“How has your life changed in the past few years because of the power of Christ living in you?”
Before I answer the question, let me say this. Christianity is not easy. Had I known what trials I would go through prior to surrendering my life to Christ, I’m not sure I would have signed up. Does that mean I regret becoming a Christian? No way! I wouldn’t trade it for anything. But it’s hard.
You can’t have a true relationship with Jesus Christ without your life changing. If you’ve been a Christian for several years now and your life is still comfortable, I recommend you having a talk with God and reanalyzing your situation.

In 1995, I was very ill. Doctors didn’t know what was wrong with me. I spent almost an entire year visiting different doctors and enduring a variety of tests. I remember sitting in yet another doctor’s office awaiting the test results. At this point, I was worried, hopeless and expecting the worst. I had reached the end of myself and began to pray.

In my prayer, I had made a promise to the Lord, that if He healed me, I would write for Him. God answered my prayer and performed a miracle. My results came back and everything was fine. I felt better too.
However, the promise I made that day is still looming. I am now 45 years old and I still haven’t written my story. I continue to hear the whisper of God nudging me to write. But I also hear other voices.
