[UntoHim]

"Some people are so heavenly minded that they are of no earthly good"
Oliver Wendell Holmes.

In my many years of experience and observation, I find it's more than enough for us Christians who live in the cushy, comfortable Western world to just overcome taking for granted all the privileges and blessings that surround us. If we can just overcome higher gas prices and FaceBook being down for a few hours, maybe, just maybe we can start to work on the real overcoming. You know...where you have to worry about where your next meal is coming from, or whether or not the government is going to arrest you for having a Bible, or get beaten half to death for holding a Christian meeting in your living room.

Speaking for myself, I would like to overcome the temptation to go a day without reading a few verses. I would like to overcome all the garbage that is splashed before my eyes on the very computer screen that I am typing these words on. I would like to overcome the ease and comfort of a prayerless life in which I don't worry about people who are trapped within a system of error that teaches them false notions about what it is to be an overcomer. May God have mercy.
