Garbage in, garbage out!
July 9th, 2008
There is a deep longing in the heart of God to give himself to us!!!!!!!!! He awaits at the doorstep of out hearts knocking, hoping that we will answer the door, even crack it open so that he can pour himself in and give himself fully to us. He is not holding Himself back from us, we are holding Him out.
I came to a greater revalation this morning to that old saying “garbage in , garbage out.” You know the concept. If you fill your mind and heart with garbage, i.e. television, rotten music, foul language, etc. that is what will come out of your mouth when you speak. But on the other hand, of you fill your heart with the word of God, worship music, etc. then when you begin to speak, the things that come out of your mouth will be honoring and pleasing to God and those around you.
I fact as I am writing this it is an example of it. I came into work and before I started my day I tapped into worship, prayer, and the word. Something that I haven’t had in a couple of days and almost immediately love, joy, encouragement and affirmation started to spill out mouth and mind.
A simple message with great implications. Matthew 12:34 “Out of the overflow of the heart the mouth speaks.”

Great job Chick. Indeed, this is a “A simple message with great implications.”
I’m proud of the man that you are and continuing to become.

Chick, you’re off to a great start in your writing. Great subject choice, and I appreciated the scripture at the end - very appropriate.
I’ve been writing for awhile now, and I know the value of peer critique. Here are a few “wee” but classic ones:
1. Check, double-check, and re-check your punctuation and spelling and grammar (unless it fits the topic). Readers drop off fast.
2. Cite scripture references where appropriate. It’s not only helpful but God could use it to draw someone to the Word.
3. As a Christian author, I quickly discovered that worshipping and asking God what He wants said beforehand opens amazing revelations! I’m nearly finished with my 2nd book, and it’s amazingly powerful - and came from Him.
Call on me anytime -
Blessings,
