THE LIVING GOD COMMANDS

I’ve been #young and now I’m #old and I’ve observed that no one likes to be told what to do or not do.  Years ago “Father knows best” was heard repeatedly in families and even on TV; however, today who even knows their father?   Where is authority?  It seems to me the motto of the day is “Do whatever YOU want ”  When we turn against GOD’S COMMANDS we hurt ourselves through arrogance by making  #‘ME’ above GOD.  “There are gods of this world that are blinding the eyes & minds of people who do not believe the light of the glorious gospel of Christ who is the image of GOD who will shine on them.  GOD COMMANDS His light to shine out of darkness to shine in our hearts to give the light of the knowledge of the glory of GOD  in the face of JESUS CHRIST. We have this treasure in earthen vessels that the excellency of the POWER maybe of GOD and NOT of US.  We are troubled on every side, yet not distressed; perplexed, but not in despair; persecuted, but not forsaken; cast down, but not destroyed…..for all things are for your sakes, that the abundant grace might through the thanksgiving of many rebound to the glory of GOD.“..11Corinthians 4  Our Heavenly Father Knows Best today and forever!

The Joy of Jesus – Pointing To Perfection – Continuously

Do you know anybody who thinks they are #perfect?  Ironically, #Christian maturity comes with a growing realization of our own imperfection.  Without knowledge of our flaws, how can we grow?  Rather than an excuse to not even try, this should be a call to action.  Our road to perfection starts with a decision.  What comes next?  When we are moving whether it is walking, running, or driving we tend to move in the direction we are looking.  Where should our eyes be focused?

Now before you say that preachers are always asking for #money, remember this site is not asking for anything.  But, #God wants more than your money.  To follow Jesus properly is to give your life to God.  That means everything including time, skills, and more.  Does that mean you have to quit your job and go work at your church?  Most of the time, no.  God wants us out there serving throughout the community.  Is there anything God has asked of you that you did not want to give?  Can He get it done without you?  Who pays a price when that happens?  You’re not hurting God.  What can we learn from Paul’s writings about Epaphroditus about giving, suffering, and healing?

If you are under #quarantine or #lockdown right now, you are probably ready to go.  But, if you are a follower of Christ, how should you go?  Take the example of Timothy in Philippians and use it as a model.  Ask yourself if you are doing God’s will.  Are you ready to go despite the cost?  Are you living for Christ or yourself?  How should we emulate the working relationship between Paul and Timothy?  How do you handle the ‘wait and see’ time?
