"What's Hindering You"
"Ye did run well; who did hinder you that ye should not obey the truth?" (Gal. 5:7) Over the last 25 years I have seen a lot of new converts who have gotten off to a "flying start" as Christians and had really began to grow in grace. They were getting something done for the Lord and bearing some fruit, then suddenly something got in their way and blocked their path. They quit running and just stopped in the middle of the track (my ex-sister in law is one). Here are some things that will hinder your Christian walk. 1. "RELATIVES", if you love anybody in your family more than you love the Lord, you will not run the Christian race at your best(Matt. 10:37). 2. The love of MONEY can hinder you. You don't have to have money to love it. There is nothing wrong with making an income, but if you put the treasures of this world ahead of your love for Christ it will hinder you (1 Tim. 6:9-10). 3. Seeking worldly SUCCESS more than Christ can hinder you. Luke 16:15 says "for that which is highly esteemed among men is abomination in the sight of God." If the world puffs you up and makes a big shot out of you, watch out. That's because what the world thinks highly of, God thinks stinks.4. Sickness can hinder you. Paul had an infirmity in the flesh which God would not remove, but it did not stop him. It's O.K. to tell the Lord that you are not pleased with you health, but you need to submit to God's will and keep serving HIM. 5. Your spouse can hinder you. If you and your spouse are "unequally yoked" he or she can drag you off track. God said a man and woman are to become "one", thus you need to both be headed in the same direction. 6. "Friends " can hinder you. (1Cor. 15:33), you need the right kind of friends, if not, they will pull you down to their level rather than you lifting them up. One thing is for SURE, if you get you eyes off of Christ and on the kinfolks, money, success, sickness, a spouse, or friends you will not be able to "RUN WITH PATIENCE THE RACE THAT IS SET BEFORE US" (Heb. 12:1). At the end of his race the Apostle Paul said, "I have fought a good fight, I have finished my course, I have kept the faith: 8Henceforth there is laid up for me a crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous judge, shall give me at that day" (2 Tim 4:7-8). Lastly my Christian friends, run the race with the Judgment Seat of Christ ever in mind and don't let anyone or anything hinder you from obtaining "A FULL REWARD" (2 John 8).
God Bless, have a great Sunday

Amen to the distractions. I am around a few people everyday that have a "Sunday" face. The rest of the week, they tear me down. DP

"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 will forgive their sin and heal their land."

Thanks for the kind words men. I know that there are several Christian men here a Crappie.com. I do a lesson each Sunday morning and put it on the internet on another site. If it's O.K. and not offensive I would like to post here each Sunday. I want to be an encouragement to other Christians to stand up for their faith. I know that some will not agree with everything I teach or say and I for sure will not argue or fight over scriptures on this forum, but I hope some would enjoy God's word. I would appreciate if some of you would let me know if you think this is the proper place to do a Sunday morning lesson. Thanks..Roughneck

I would love to read the lesson every week. Lord said don't be ashamed in him so post on. We all know we can't please everyone. Just think, one person could get saved from a lesson you wrote and then it is all worth it. Look forward to Sundays lesson. Thanks Roughneck.

You know I don't Roughneck (aka. TM) I have sat in church with you, heard lots of Sunday School lesson you have given to us. Never does a week go by with out 3 or 4 phone conversations with you that we don't talk about JESUS the Real Fisherman of Men. And when we fish or travel we always talk or have a PRAYER on the road. You and your wife have been a blessing to me and mine. Teach Brother. I will be in revival with you on the 10th.
GOD Bless
