What is your attitude? Matthew 11:16-19

Good morning all. God is good all the time, all the time God is good.  TOO BLESSED TO BE STRESSED! 
   Today, listen to what Jesus says in Matthew 11:16-19. (click link) Jesus lays it out well here.  Jesus condemned the attitude of his generation.  No matter what he said or did, they took the opposite view. 
    He says they, and we are like children,  we complain - sooo- they play the flute we don't dance; they mourned and we don't lament.  John the Baptist neither drank or ate as they did and they said he had a devil; Jesus ate and drank and they accused him of be a glutton and win-bibber; a friend of tax collectors and sinners.
   All these people were skeptical and cynical of Jesus because he challenged their comfort, security, and self-centered lives.
   How often do you justify your inconsistencies because listening to God may require us to change the way we live?   Getting ready for the super bowl - the 49 ers and the Ravens all have their playbook.  You are preparing for the superbowl of eternity and you playbook has been written for years; it is a best seller; yet do you read it?  Do you follow it?  Or, are you going through the motions?  Because you sit in church does not mean you are a Christian; just as sitting in a garage does not make you a car.  So what are you going to do about your playbook for eternity?  If it is worn, it is used; if it is dusty, it is abused! Love you all.
   In Christ's Love and Grace
