          "Bad habits are like chains that are too light to feel until they are too heavy to carry.” ~ Warren Buffet, American businessman

      Got bad habits?  Chances are that you’ve got a few.  We all do.  For some, it’s procrastination… for others it’s arriving late to everything. The top ten bad habits in America also include biting your nails, being careless, and get this… cracking your knuckles! Some bad habits are just annoying… while others have the potential to destroy your life.   The problem is, most people don’t feel their weight until it’s too late. Alcohol abuse, internet porn, casual sex, even un-controlled spending … they all start with a “just this once” type of an attitude. Then it’s a second time, then a third… and before long, the weight of the habit is like an anchor around your neck.  Then of course there’s the bad habits of our “thoughtless speech.”  Slander, malicious words, a little “lie” mixed with the truth… usually to cast doubt upon someone else and to benefit ourselves.  The more you do it, the easier it becomes.  However, we completely sacrifice our character and integrity. The good news?  The Apostle Paul says that bad habits do not have to be the end of your story. In light of the resurrection, we can be made new.  We can start new habits… good ones… life giving ones.  It's time to kick those bad habits to the curb! And that’s…real life.  ~ Pastor Steve – Eaglebrook Church
