Trusting God through every season, prayer, and the daily walk of worship.
We respect each other because none of us deserves anything from God. We do not brag because what we have is beyond our ability to acquire. We are always praising God because He has done too much for us that we can’t help but praise. This is granted to the unqualified!
Without courage, you will know the right thing but you won’t do it. Without courage, you will know you are being treated unfairly but you will continue suffering. Without courage, one person or a group of people can exploit the masses for many years. Without courage, there would never be martyrs and independence heroes. Without courage, there will never be innovations and discoveries.
There is no way you can be heaven-bound and divided. If you still have divisions among you, you are hell-bound, the journey to heaven is unattainable wishful thinking. No one gets to heaven divided and bitterly so. If you still have divisions among you it’s dangerous!
You don’t need God’s law for salvation, you need it after salvation. The law of God doesn’t save, but those who are saved live by it. If you don’t live according to the law of God, it could be because you are not yet saved, or you just got saved and are still struggling slowly by God’s grace to live according to it.
They have been given infatuation. They have been given motivation. They have been given false political promises. They have been given hard drugs. They have been given education and money. We can’t give them the same things that haven’t worked for them. We must give them something in the name of Jesus and things will change for the better!
Now this is eternal life: that they know you, the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom you have sent. Tasting and concluding for ourselves that the LORD is good, Psalm 34:8. Knowing from a discussion of facts and knowing from experience are two different conclusions.
Do not despise God by rejecting correction. Do not misunderstand and get offended by correction. It is a sign of God’s love for you. Be very worried if your sin isn’t mentioned here. If it is God’s word that mentions our sins, we should be glad that God remembered us to correct us. If we silence those who correct us, we are closing the door of mercy for ourselves. Make it your way of life to accept correction without excuse. Be very worried if your sin isn’t mentioned here.
Confessing Jesus is not enough, our lifestyle must be consistent with that confession. May our lifestyle be consistent with the messages we preach and teach. Cast out demons that trouble us daily, in Jesus’ name, Amen!
Does your appetite and aggressiveness in the presence of food or certain favorite foods expose your weakness and dilute your witnessing? What do your food and eating habits tell the world about you? How we eat/drink and what we eat/drink can positively or negatively affect our witnessing of Christ. Are we safe if our eating and drinking habits became part of the assessment of our faith?
