John was telling the believers to be aware of the false teachers and to live as Children of God. We can learn from these scriptures in !st John. When we sin, we must repent. We must draw closer to Jesus and let the Holy Ghost guide us.
If we are to live a Spirit-led life, we have to realize that division between the flesh and our spirit. We are naturally inclined to sin but we must grow a relationship with the Holy Spirit, pray and read our Bibles. I look at some of Paul's letters about the flesh and the Spirit.
The word strive has many meanings. We strive against sin and temptation. We strive for righteousness or spiritual maturity. It takes dedication and perseverance. I'm dropping this on Podcast Day..
Sometimes we need encouragement and we can look to promises of God to get this. We can look at what God has done for us and know that He is unchanging and will come through for us.
Since the beginning, we have had sin. There were sacrifices in the Old Testament and shedding of blood. Jesus came and shed His blood so that we can repent and be forgiven. We must do this as believers.
Throughout the Old and New Testaments, the first and most important law or rule is about our relationship with God. Are we putting God first? Let's get the distractions out of the way and get closer to Him.
Faith is an attitude of trust that comes through our obedience to God. In our relationship with God, He is always faithful. We often fail to be faithful to God or even to each other. Let's look at this...
Remember that the only reason we can stand unashamed is not because we're worthy but because of His mercy. We are saved by God's grace alone. There is nothing we can do to merit such favor.
Today I'm looking at Psalms 33, 66 and 130. These psalms were praising God. Let's remember when we offer praise to God, we are reminded of what he does for us. This is also a way for the lost to learn of His goodness.
Paul and Silas were misunderstood and got beaten and thrown into jail. They were not griping and complaining, they were praising God. Lets remember that this kind of praise moves God.
Have you had life changing decisions or career path questions? God has an opinion in the matter and He has a definite plan. He IS interested in your life and He would like to lead you in your decisions.
Our body, soul and spirit work together to help us live and react to the world. To help our eternal soul go to heaven when we die, we need to live a disciplined life that leads to a Spirit-led life.
When Paul was waiting in Athens, he was brought before the council of Aeropagus and he delivered a message. Many of the Greeks were Epicureans and Stoics which didnt believe in God. This would be a tough crowd to win over...
Nicodemus was a Pharisee and a member of the Sanhedrin. He was in the educated elite but he was seeking the truth. He recognized Jesus as a great teacher who came from God.
When we become saved, we acquire a responsibility. What are we going to do with the resources that we have been given? Lets get busy and make sure before its too late.
There seems to be more dark behavior lately. When we try to reach out to people, we may be challenged or even attacked. Lets look at some scripture and ideas to help combat this.
I thought by explaining some of the Greek words and remembering John's experiences with Jesus, we could get a clearer picture of his message to this group. Let's abide in the Light. Lets walk in fellowship with God and realize that we have Jesus as our advocate to make us right with God.
I have several things we need to do to unclutter our minds. If you feel out of touch with God or just need a boost, try these things.
In this culture of self focus and selfishness, let's try to consider others that are less fortunate. Lets strive to be more like Jesus.
What would you do if you got betrayed and accused like Joseph?
