Keep Your Eyes Fixed On Him

Keep you eyes on Jesus and not the world.  
Satan lies about everything in God’s Word.  
He uses tricks of the world to trap us or trick us.  
So it is important to keep our eyes fixed on Jesus.

Compromise isn’t good when it comes 
To the teachings God’s Word.
God's Word is true and pure in deed
It brings life to all who will receive

However, we need a way to get the attention of others.  
So how do we draw them to a place where 
We have a chance to share God’s love 
And His Word with them.

We need to get back to providing the basics to humanity.  
The basics of love, care, and compassion.  
Reaching out to one another regardless of differences.  
Fill your eyes with God and that which is His Ways.

Jesus went where the people were.  
He did not wait for them to come to where He was.  
He was everything to everyone, as they had need.  
Jesus was God’s Word made flesh.

He angered the pharasee’s because 
He did not teach ritual or tradition ... 
He taught of God and God’s love.  
He is God’s Word in the flesh. 

He made it real to all men.  
He loved, taught and reached out 
Regardless of any man or 
Woman’s standing in society.
