Proverbs 12:26 The righteous choose their friends carefully, but the way of the wicked leads them astray.

God uses friendship as an instrument of sanctification. It is important that all Christians carefully choose their friends. In the past I used to have trouble choosing friends and I’ll tell you from experience friends can either bring you up in life or bring you down.

Wise Christian friends will build you up, help you, and bring wisdom. A bad friend will lead you t... more

1 Corinthians 4:2 “Now it is required that those who have been given a trust must prove faithful.”

When you are faithful you are loyal, unwavering, and reliable regardless of circumstance. Apart from God we would not know what faithfulness is because faithfulness comes from the Lord. Take a second to examine your life and ask yourself, are you being faithful to God?

1 Corinthians 4:2 “Now it is required that those who have been given a trust must prove faithful.”

When you are faithful you are loyal, unwavering, and reliable regardless of circumstance. Apart from God we would not know what faithfulness is because faithfulness comes from the Lord. Take a second to examine your life and ask yourself, are you being faithful to God?

Faithfulness is something that we all can struggle with, but we never notice that we struggle with it. Don’t you realize that God in His sovereignty has placed people and resources in your life? He has given you friends, a spouse, neighbors, unbelieving co-workers, etc. who will only hear Christ through you. He has given you finances to be used for His glory. He has blessed us with different talents to bless others. Have you been faithful in these things? Have you been lazy in your love towards others?

We all want to be promoted without moving a finger. We want to go to a different country for missions, but are we involved in missions in our own country? If you’re not faithful in little, then what makes you think that you are going to be faithful in great things? We can be such hypocrites at times, myself included. We pray for opportunities to share the love of God and give to others. However, we see a homeless person, we make excuses, we judge him, and then we walk right past him. I have to continually ask myself, am I being faithful with what God has put in front of me? Examine the things that you’re praying for. Are you being faithful with the things that you already have?

Once someone puts their trust in Christ and becomes saved the Holy Spirit immediately dwells in that person. Unlike other religions, Christianity is God in us. Allow the Spirit to lead your life. Yield yourself to the Spirit. Once this happens being faithful is not something that is forced. Being faithful is no longer accomplished legalistically. The Spirit produces faith so being faithful becomes genuine.

It’s so easy to do something out of duty rather than love. When we yield to the Spirit God’s desires become our desires. Psalm 37:4 – “Take delight in the LORD, and he will give you the desires of your heart.” One of the most important aspects of being saved is getting to know and enjoy Christ.

Through Christ you have been saved from the wrath of God. However, now you can begin to know Him, enjoy Him, walk with Him, have fellowship with Him, etc. Once you start becoming more intimate with Christ in prayer and once you get to know His presence, your faithfulness to Him will grow along with your desire to please Him.

“Christians do not have to live; they have only to be faithful to Jesus Christ, not only until death but unto death if necessary.”

Have a blessed day

2 Timothy 2:2 “You have heard me teach things that have been confirmed by many reliable witnesses. Now teach these truths to other trustworthy people who will be able to pass them on to others.”

A Christian disciple is a follower of Christ, but one thing you must know is the cost of following Jesus Christ is your life. It will cost you everything. You will have to say no to temptations and the things of this world. You will have to follow Him through trials, suffering, loneliness, humiliation, etc.

You have to love God more than anyone or anything in this world and even if you were the only one in your family following Christ and even if your parents didn’t approve you would still follow Christ.

We must depend on God’s grace. We must not rely on ourselves, but we must rely on the Holy Spirit. God’s goal is to make you into the image of Christ. Disciples of Christ imitate Christ and bring glory to God. We grow in grace by reading Scripture, obeying Scripture, praying, etc. We have a love for other believers. We humble ourselves and not only are we students, but we spread the gospel and disciple others.

Don’t tell me you’re a disciple of Christ when you have no new desires for Christ. Don’t tell me you are a disciple when you deliberately rebel against God’s Word and use Jesus Christ dying to justify your continuous lifestyle of sin.

Don’t tell me you’re a disciple when you truly want to follow the world. You think you’re saved because you go to church. You only pray when things go bad. Your life is not about Christ it’s about what He can do for me. When talking about obedience to God’s Word false converts love to scream legalism.

A person is saved by putting their trust in Jesus Christ alone. You can’t work your way into Heaven, but when you truly accept Him you will change. You will always battle with sin, but your desires will not be to live a lifestyle of sin.

You will grow in obedience not because it saves you, but because you are so thankful of Jesus Christ paying your fine and taking upon the wrath of God that you and I deserve. Jesus Christ is everything or He is nothing!

1 Corinthians 4:1 “This, then, is how you ought to regard us: as servants of Christ and as those entrusted with the mysteries God has revealed.”

Have a blessed day

Romans 5:8 “But God demonstrates His own love toward us, in that while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.”

Grace is the unmerited favor of God. God pours out His favor upon sinners like us who deserve the worst. The Father gave His Son the punishment that we deserve. Grace can be summed up as:
God’s
Riches
At
Christ’s
Expense.

You can’t run away from the grace of God. God’s grace can’t be stopped. God’s love for the ungodly cannot be contained. His grace p... more

Proverbs 18:12 Before destruction the heart of man is haughty, but humility goes before honor.

Pride is one of those sins that we throw under the rug. When it comes to pride we overlook it. We have forgotten that it was the sin of pride that got Satan kicked out of Heaven. We have forgotten that God says He hates a proud heart.

Do you look down upon others? If you did would you admit that you struggle with looking down upon others? Is everything and everyone a competi... more

2 Timothy 2:19 “Nevertheless, the firm foundation of God stands, having this seal, “The Lord knows those who are His,” and, “Everyone who names the name of the Lord is to abstain from wickedness.”

Matthew 3:11 (ESV) – “I baptize you with water for repentance, but he who is coming after me is mightier than I, whose sandals I am not worthy to carry. He will baptize you with the Holy Spirit and fire.”

Fire blazes through the pages of Scripture, revealing God’s holiness, His presence, His omnipotence, His righteous judgment, and His refining touch. I’ve noticed how easily we can shrink God down in our minds, picturing Him as tame or small, when really, His holiness s... more

Ephesians 6:10 Finally, be strong in the Lord and in his mighty power.

Are you using your own strength? Don’t waste your weakness! Use your trial and your struggles to rely more upon the strength of God. God provides both physical and spiritual strength in our time of need.

If God can break physical chains how much more can He break the chains that are in your life? Wasn’t it the strength of God that saved you on the cross of Jesus Christ?

Psalm 73:28 “But as for me, how good is it to be near God! I have made the Sovereign Lord my shelter, and I will tell everyone about the wonderful things you do.”

Psalm 73:28 “But as for me, how good is it to be near God! I have made the Sovereign Lord my shelter, and I will tell everyone about the wonderful things you do.”

We’ve all heard the phrase, “God is good.” However, have you pondered the goodness of God? Have you ever thought about the fact that His goodness never ends? Are you growing in your view of His goodness? Ask yourself these questions. Also, I encourage you to read these quotes about the goodness of God and meditate on the Lord. Relinquish control and rest in His sovereignty and goodness in your life.

Goodness comes from God. We would not know goodness and there would be no goodness without the Lord. The Lord is the standard of all that is good. Do you see the goodness of the Lord in the “Good News”?

God came down in the form of man to live the perfect life that we could not. Jesus, who is God in flesh, walked in complete obedience to the Father. In love, He took our place on the cross. He thought of you while being bruised and battered. He thought of you as He hung bloody on a cross. Jesus died, was buried, and was resurrected for our sins. He defeated sin and death and is the bridge between us and the Father. We can now know and enjoy the Lord. There is now nothing impeding us from experiencing the Lord.

The Christian through faith in the good and perfect work of Christ alone, is forgiven and justified before God. Christ redeemed us from the punishment of sin, and He has made us a new creature with new desires and affections for Him. Our response to the gospel of redeeming grace should be thankfulness. Christians want to praise the Lord and live a lifestyle pleasing to the Lord. The good that we do is from the Holy Spirit residing in us. God’s goodness changes everything about us. Have you experienced the goodness of God found in the gospel?

I encourage you to do what Psalm 34:8 says. “Taste and see that the LORD is good.”

Have a blessed Wednesday
