We all tend to gravitate to people who are like us. When it comes to the family of God, the Church, this can be detrimental. Jesus taught that we should focus on inviting people to our parties who cannot return the favor; in other words, do something for someone who does not have the ability to pay us back so that our intentions are not for our own selfish gain but rather to give to those considered less than ourselves. Riff raff is another term for garbage, and many who are low in society are thrown off as such. Just as Jesus came to the earth as riff raff, born in a barn, and he focused a great majority of His ministry on people of the lowest standing in society, we are to also reach out to the riff raff in our world because when it comes to eternity in Heaven, we are all equal.

Everyone struggles with something in their lives that always causes them to lose the battle. The more they lose, the more they feel that there is no point in even trying to win. As Christians, our lives are described as running a race, however that race has many obstacles. Rather than allowing the large obstacles that always trip us determine our having a losing attitude towards smaller obstacles as well, we must keep our eyes on Jesus, find grace in Him, and strive to win. The more we win at the smaller things, the more we will be confident in our ability, with Christ, to win at the big things. We must first make the choice of what we want to win at before we can start winning.

In the Christian culture it is far too easy to become calloused and hard to the Biblical truths that are drilled into us from childhood. When we feel like we already have things figured out, we become subconsciously closed off to what God may be trying to tell us. Instead of reading our Bibles merely to mark it off the daily checklist, we should always read it for the purpose of hearing what God wants to tell us through each passage and to then respond by doing what He tells us to do. By approaching the necessary reading of Scripture in this way, we maintain a soft heart and open ears to be able to hear God when He speaks to us.
