Habitual Nature

      19800702 ROR - As Encouragement To Ethics - Tangible Considerations - Of An Habitual Nature - Rev. Tommy Jones

 

How do we develop #habits and why do some of those turn into #addiction?  One man’s pleasure can be another man’s pain.  So how do we define pleasure? Does the Bible say to avoid all pleasure?  What are some tests we can apply to something that brings us pleasure to see if it is a negative behavior?  What about the ‘Fearsome Foursome,’ :  Tobacco, Alcohol, Drugs, and Gambling?

Next week we will start to look at what the Bible says about tangible ethics of a vocational nature.

The LIVING GOD #RESPECTS

When was the last time you observed “respect” being shown?  Possibly you saw others respectfully remembering someone at a funeral; however, many of those services have ceased.  As a child I noticed all the men tipping their hat to the young and old women as they passed on the sidewalk and if they came to the entrance of a store, the man would always open the door for her thereby showing his respect.  Today…many people rush to get there first or let me open the door for them without so much as a thank you.  “Respect” Has it flown out the window with our explosion of knowledge?  The Word of God tells us who is worthy of HIS esteem.  In Exodus 2 the children of Israel were slaves in Egypt when God heard their groaning and remembered His covenant with Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob.  25.”God looked upon the children of Israel, and GOD HAD RESPECT UNTO THEM”   Are you in your own bondage today?  Could it be sickness, strife, wheelchair, depression, relationships, money, drugs, family, work, or unknown?  “Though the LORD be high, yet hath HE RESPECT UNTO THE LOWLY; but the proud HE knows afar off.  Though I walk in the midst of trouble, God will revive me: He shall stretch forth His hand against the wrath of my enemies, and His right hand shall save me.” Ps.138:6,7  May we learn ‘R E S P E C T’ from the great I AM who is a memorial to all generations.
