Distractions of the World:

In this life there are many attractions, sometimes our flesh loves the attractions and distractions of the world like a Carnival. There is just simply so much and it is okay to part take in the World as it is, however when the distractions become to much and you start turning away from your first love, that being the Lord Jesus Christ. Perhaps that can become a problem and burdens come back into your life because your focus is no longer on the one, our Father, who gave us the Lord Jesus Christ to consume of by reading the written Apostolic Record in which he can restore and wash our soul (mind/will/emotion).

Living this Christian life is not always about having to preach Jesus to everyone you see, but it is to love... as expressed in (1 Corinthians 13 by Paul - Read slowly consider it, look into greek words if you have to and write down what you find), Love is so important to show towards others in this life as we go through.

The distractions can cause us to drift off like into a Carnival PlayGround if that is what we focus on, remember that we do have the bible to read from, and study if you desire but remember it is not about - being right over others all the time, and as Christians we should allow each other our freedoms to express ourselves, be it music, art, writing, sharing, exploring, creating, we can even watch tv shows or movies, but just do not let it consume you, instead ask God to help you, by the spirit to have self-control, and remember that reading the bible is just a pick up away if you have it nearby.

In the beginning God made it all very good. I believe that He made it all for us to enjoy, but in that enjoyment, we need to always remember to use it all as God intended and to keep always first things first!

"But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you." Matt 6:33
