Overindulge!

2 Peter 1: 5 – 6
For this very reason, make every effort to add to your faith goodness; and to goodness, knowledge; and to knowledge, self-control; and to self-control, perseverance; and to perseverance, godliness…
 
Would you say that you’re adding to your faith?
I think if we would be honest for just a second, we’d agree that we add a an awful lot of things, to our personal life experiences.
 
Let’s face it…
We live in the day of Golden Corral—shopping malls—“have it your way” and indulgences of anything we can think of.
We really do live in the land of excess.
We don’t hesitate adding anything at all, to what we already have.
 
Can you begin to imagine, what might happen to the church and to its people,  if we added the knowledge of God, to the knowledge we already have?
Godliness might just be the final result!
 
God does not hold back on His many promises.
If you plan to overindulge on anything this week, why not try an oversupply supply of Jesus.
 
In  a culture that is seeing an expanding view of gluttony, drunkenness, drug abuse and shopaholics, maybe a little more God, might be really what we need….
