First Baptist Church of Versailles

Sometimes our lives get very complicated.  Generally, those complications come as a result of our chasing after happiness instead of pursuing the heart and mind of Christ.  Jesus told the disciples to "Follow me and I will make your fishers of men."  The Word tells us that immediately the disciples dropped their nets and followed after him.  It seems that many of us as Christians have decided to follow Christ but drag our nets behind us.  To know the Lord is to know peace.  However, when we prioritize our desires over those of our Savior, the end is often bitterness, rage, anger, and all of the fruits of the carnal man.  Today, the challenge is clear.  We need to leave our nets behind and seek the heart of God.  When we seek the Lord joy always follows.
