1. “And those who belong to Christ Jesus have crucified the flesh with its passions and desires. But I say, walk by the Spirit, and you will not gratify the desires of the flesh.” 2 “For if you live according to the flesh, you will die, but if by the Spirit you put to death the deeds of the body, you will live. I have been crucified with Christ. It is no longer I who live, but Christ who lives…
What? Have you not heard that setting trust in your flesh and human endeavours removes you from the existence of God? The flesh and its effects remain cosmetical! Which means, when we place our trust in our capacities, our flesh begins to lead us, and we wind up satisfying its desires. The best way to defeat the flesh and its lust is to zero and focus on Christ and how He has helped you and respect the provisions depending on…
Mike Bell said: “In March 1965, Martin Luther King Jr. called on American clergy for assistance after the brutal attack on activists at the Edmund Pettus Bridge in Selma. At first, Jonathan Daniels was not sure – “Could I spare the time? Did I want to spare the time? Did Jesus want me to?” – but he resolved to go south. He joined the march to Montgomery, and then, after most of the activists had returned home and the camera…
1. “Therefore I tell you, do not be anxious about your life, what you will eat or what you will drink, nor about your body, what you will put on. Is not life more than food, and the body more than clothing? Look at the birds of the air: they neither sow nor reap nor gather into barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not of more value than they? And which of you by being anxious…
Yes, what works for you may not work for others! What makes success for you could be an effective way to other failures? You may say that since it works for me and not hurting others, this success is okay! Such make success a problematic animal to picture or define! A road map to success for others may end up to a gravesite of another! Meaning, in seeking your success, the process must be fully rooted in what divine establishments…
Chris Arnade said: “We’ve decided to sort ourselves by education – the idea is that being educated is the most important thing in life and that if you fail at that, it’s your fault. It’s not just that we have a system that rewards education. It’s that we have a very narrow definition of what being smart is. The problem with defining success like this is that, though it’s easy to measure how much education or money someone has, it’s…
1. “I have said these things to you, that in me you may have peace. In the world you will have tribulation. But take heart; I have overcome the world.” 2 “You keep him in perfect peace whose mind is stayed on you, because he trusts in you. Now may the Lord of peace himself give you peace at all times in every way. The Lord be with you all.” 3 “Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything…
Yes, to get through successfully in life, you must know how to get through in peace! How do you go about understanding the impact of peace in times of painful marching forward? What is your make for a successful end in peace? How sure are you to traverse to managing matters of life without some faith? I mean, you have to go to Jesus and entirely depend on Him to give you His peace or the boldness to get moving…
Brenda Hindley said: “I don’t see how you could get through what I’ve had to deal with without some kind of faith – without turning to Jesus and relying on him to give you peace, or the courage to get up and go through another day. Plus, I think chronic pain makes you more aware of what is important, and less easily bothered by the petty stuff of life. And that, I think, is a blessing. Because I don’t think…
1. “For you were called to freedom, brothers. Only do not use your freedom as an opportunity for the flesh, but through love serve one another. As each has received a gift, use it to serve one another, as good stewards of God’s varied grace: If anyone serves me, he must follow me; and where I am, there will my servant be also. If anyone serves me, the Father will honor him.” 2 “No one can serve two masters, for…
