Vision for Life - Forward #2
Today, we will look at the bells that should be and can be ringing when finding our place in serving the Lord and moving forward in our faith. Bell #1 - Step forward in your personal walk by a commitment to share what Christ has done for you. Your story and your conversion are powerful, and God will use both to win others to Jesus. Why? This is the story of your personal faith in Jesus. Bell #2 – Step forward in studying God’s word . When you have pure truth as your gui

Vision for Life - Fellowship #3
Spark #4 – Wor k – In the early church, different jealousies caused them to focus on the “whos” in their fellowship. Saints began to lift up certain individuals more than others, and it confused the people by causing them to wonder who to follow. Paul cleared it up in 1 Corinthians 3: 9 For we are both God’s workers. And you are God’s field. You are God’s building. Churches that align with and promote certain saints over others have gone down a path of disobedience, and

Old Self/New Self
In my study of Sanctification, I am finding out that there are clear indications this process is working and progressing. I have broken this down in my personal study in the following way. 1. Narcissism 2. Humility 3. Old self/new self. 4. selfllessness. 5. sacrifice. 6. Holy living. Today I will write about the third one, which is Old self/new self. Paul constantly spoke to immersing ourselves in the spirit-filled life, and in that life there are certain characteristic

Humility
There are many different aspects of a sanctified life, and this life will go directly in contradiction to the life lived by the world's standards. I started with the most necessary one yesterday, and that is narcissism. Today I am going in the opposite direction and speaking about having a humble walk with God or humility. If we are going to live a holy life, according to God's Word, we are called to be humble, as Jesus was humble. James writes the following in James 4:10

Narcissism
Narcissism (def) - an excessive preoccupation with oneself, characterized by an inflated sense of self-importance, a constant need for admiration, and a lack of empathy for others. It is easy to see why narcissism is running rampant in our society today, because our self-worth is the foundation we have at our core. Narcissism comes from a need for validation, and it is a definite personality disorder. Parts of Narcissism are the persistent demand for praise, attention, and

Sanctified
There is a process where God allows us to become more holy in our living, and it is called sanctification. In this process, God shows us His mysteries, and those mysteries of life enable us to live a more holy life in the righteousness of God. We are still sinners, but forgiven sinners living in the freedom of God's grace, so that the natural man doesn't hold the reins anymore and the new man, the spiritual man, has now taken over. We have a desire to read the Word of God,

Stand
Why do people stand when greeting someone? To show respect, signal engagement, and create physical equality during the interaction. What does it mean to "take a stand"? Sometimes, if the interaction is negative, a person will stand in defiance of whatever they are facing. If you have ever seen the movie Braveheart, then you will see that William Wallace took a stand, knowing he could die for taking that stand, but a whole nation rallied behind him and beside him to fight

Institution
Hebrews 8: 1 Here is the main point: We have a High Priest who sat down in the place of honor beside the throne of the majestic God in heaven. 2 There he ministers in the heavenly Tabernacle, the true place of worship that was built by the Lord and not by human hands. 3 And since every high priest is required to offer gifts and sacrifices, our High Priest must make an offering, too. 4 If he were here on earth, he would not even be a priest, since there already are priests wh

False
In anything, we see the 'real thing' and the 'fake thing', and in the Christian life, you see those with a fake message that is always self-serving. The truth always comes out, though, and God is the one who shines the light on the truth and the lies. Paul had to deal with a group of false apostles who were preaching falsehoods about the gospel, and hoping to get many converts for their cause, but they lost out. God is involved in keeping the liars in check, even when it see

Focused
I have ADD sometimes, and it frustrates me when it causes me to lose my focus. The Holy Spirit is good to 'snap me back' and keep me on task and focused. The writer of Hebrews leads us to keep our eyes focused on Jesus, the author of our faith. Keeping our eyes on Jesus is a strong move to keep our endurance up. Why? Because Jesus is the perfecter of our faith, and we desperately need Him to live this life of faith. Hebrews 12: 1 Therefore, since we are surrounded by su

Blessing
The Hebrew word for blessing is Bracha, and blessings can be seen in many different ways. First of all, God gives His children blessings, and I am one whom He has blessed. Secondly, on March 24, I found out that I had prostate cancer, and that totally knocked me off my feet, because I do not have cancer in my family tree. On April 30 I found out the results of a biopsy I had taken and that was when I found out my cancer was stage four. Stage four??!!! Where in the world d

Remember
Have you ever needed God so much because the waves seem to be surrounding you so high that you cannot see a way out? At times it seems that way to me, and this Psalm is a great encouragement from the Pslamist to remember God in all of it. Psalm 42: 5 Why, my soul, are you downcast? Why so disturbed within me? Put your hope in God, for I will yet praise him, my Savior and my God. This causes me to yearn for God to intervene and to strengthen me, because I have no other opt
