Do You Want The Word?


"Preach the word! Be ready in season and out of season. Convince, rebuke, exhort, with all suffering and teach. For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine,but according to their own desires, because they have itching ears, they will heap up for themselves teachers. "
2 Tim. 4:2-3


   If the word is everything that pertains to godliness and life (2 Pet. 1:3). The word is God breathed and is profitable so that every man of God may be thoroughly equipped for every good work (2 Tim. 3:16-17).  The word is the commands of Christ (Matt. 28:20). Christ is righteousness (1 John 2:29). Everyone who practices righteousness is born of Him. We are to walk as he walked (1 John 2:5-6).  If we want to be righteous we must observe all His commands. Any one who practices righteousness is righteous, just as Christ is righteous (1 John 3:4-9 *7). He was obedient so that we may have salvation in obedience (Heb. 5:8-9).  Christ is only going to claim those who hear and do the word (Matt. 7:21-23; Matt. 25: 34-40; Luke 8:19-21). Then everything we need to know to be righteous is in the word. Therefore anything contrary to the word is unrighteousness and that is sin (1 John 5:17). To be righteous we must do exactly as we are instructed by the word. 

 Do you want the word?

Do you want it to dwell richly in you (Col. 3:16)?

Are you seeking it?

Are studying it (Joshua 1:7-8)?

What do you need to change?

My Thoughts

Think on what is lovely. Let God direct your mind to what is truly lovely in this world. At the very least that tree, flower, and blade of grass that He made and you saw today is lovely. Let Him influence your thoughts every day until you think on what God considers lovely. Then dwell on those things. Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly in all wisdom. (Col. 3:16) There will be an overflow of lovely thoughts pour from your mind. Think about how encouraging to others that would be. Think lovely thoughts.

"I Don't Wana Go" :(

Christianity is much more than just Sunday morning. In fact it’s an everyday focus, "pick up your cross daily" Christ said ( Luke 9:23 ).  Because of that everyday race running the assembling of the saints should be what we look forward to ( Heb. 12:1-2, 10:25 ). It's the one place we can be around those we are in fellowship with that are seeking to achieve the same goal, Heaven. A place to be rejuvenated, to mature, and to worship God. A reason why you should be seeking such assembling's of the saints and excited to be a part of it is that there is nothing else like it. You were made one of them when you were immersed into Christ. You live every day without that group at your side. So a few days a week you get to be around the saints ( Eph. 2:19, 2 Cor. 13:13 ). Who see the world the way you do ( Romans 12:2; James 4:4 ). Who live in the world the way you do ( Matt. 5:13-16 ). Who desire to be like Christ like you do ( Phil. 2:5; 1 John 2:6 ). Most importantly ...

Your Structure

“But  I  discipline  my  body and bring it into subjection, lest, when  I  have preached to others,  I myself  should become disqualified” (1 Corinthians 9:27). It would be best if you worked on creating in your mind mental structures for success. A study was done where  two basketball teams had to shoot free throws. One group went out and shot 100 free throws with something life 30% accuracy. The second group had sat for 30 minutes and visualized making a perfect free throw 100 times. That team went out and shot 100 free throws with 75% accuracy. What is the difference? The mental structure. You can do the same. Paul said, “I discipline my body, I seek to please God.” Just like Paul, we must get in our heads what we will do to be successful in Christ. Work to create Godly mental structures.                          ...
