Gal 6:7-8
7 Be not deceived; God is not mocked: for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap.
8 For he that soweth to his flesh shall of the flesh reap corruption; but he that soweth to the Spirit shall of the Spirit reap life everlasting.
(KJV)

Prov 1:7
7 The fear of the LORD is the beginning of knowledge: but fools despise wisdom and instruction.
(KJV)

People are always saying, "Have faith in God, be positive"

Well what people don't understand is this:

Having faith in God is a two way street.

Because of the bible and the Spirit…I know God.  I have a relationship with God.  I know that if I am disobedient there are repercussions.

I had a friend once named Woodard.  Woodard was much bigger and stronger than me.  One time I made fun of Woodard's mother.  Woodard turned around and beat me like a step child.

God is our friend.  He loves us.  Don't play with Him though.

He will leave a mark.
