Here is a great article on whether or not we take in enough information: Go on a High Information Diet.
Author Dustin Wax summarizes his article this way:
My advice is the opposite: you don’t need less information, you need more information. What you need less of is input — all the crap that flows at you masquerading as information.
It is really worth the time to read, with this one addition for Christians. Not all sources of Biblical or theological information are trustworthy and worthy of your time. There are more preachers on the radio, more Christians blogging and otherwise, and more and more disinformation is available and consumed. I hear more amazingly inane and bizarre ideas from sermons on the radio. Beware what you eat.

I don’t know how you prepare for worship on Sunday, but one of my habits I have decided to share with you is what I practice on Saturday. I am blessed with Russian genes, which means I default to pessimism. As a believer, that seems like an unacceptable place to stay, so I have worked hard at attitude. One of those attitudes is to look for things to be grateful for, so here is my list I am taking to church with me tomorrow so that I can worship God with a grateful heart.
- Monday: I am back to work after a month Sabbatical. It is so good to have a great job and wonderful co-workers.
- Tuesday: Dinner with my oldest sons (Tim and Levi)on the wharf in Santa Barbara, followed by a pleasant train ride home. Good conversation with my third son (Caleb) as he picked me up from the train station in Fullerton. It is good to have children who know Christ.
- Wednesday: Funeral for a friend. Zena was a woman who immigrated to the States with my parents; the resurrection is a true source of hope and comfort.
- Thursday: 16 mile bicycle ride…what a great day, I still have my health.
- Friday: Quiet evening at home. Borscht for Dinner. I forgot how nice that can be.
- Saturday: History day building project with my youngest son. Building in the garage, project accomplished.
I have so much to be grateful for…so do you. Take it to church with you tomorrow.

Could you help me out? Please define the above term off the top of your head - no Bible study or looking up verses, just a quick definition you would give to a 8-12 year old. What does it mean to “Walk by the Spirit”?
Put your answer in the comments section…thanks.
