Walking In The Light

            “What is walking in the light?” in reference to 1 John 1:5-10.  1 John 2:6 lets us know that if we say we abide in Him we ought to walk just as He walked. Christ tell us He is the light. (John 8:12) Therefore, we must follow Him and walk like Him to be in the light. (John 12:35-36) Hebrews 5:8 and John 4:34 lets us know that Christ walked in obedience to God.  John 12:48-50 in conjunction with Matt. 28:18-20 lets us know that we have to receive and keep Christ’s commands. We have to keep and receive Christ’s commands just like He did the Fathers. (Phil. 2:5-11) We can confirm this with Revelation 20:11-15. Where the small and great are judge according to their works by the things written in the books, the bible. Matthew 25:31-46 shows us what judgment will look like and be like.  Christ is the author of eternal life for all those who obey Him. (Heb. 5:9) Walking in the light is walking in Christ. Walking in Christ is faithfully receiving and keeping His commands.

What are you doing to faithfully walking in the light?

    “Then Jesus spoke to them again, saying, “I am the light of the world. He who follows Me shall not walk in darkness, but have the light of life.”” John 8:12

“While you have the light, believe in the light, that you may become sons of light.” These things Jesus spoke, and departed, and was hidden from them.” John 12:36

“If you love Me, keep My commandments.” John 14:15

 “For this is the love of God, that we keep His commandments. And His commandments are not burdensome.” 1 John 5:2-3

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.                          ...

Love Provoked

         The world is provoked for different reasons. Anything from God’s word to good deeds for others to envy can cause wrath to be poured out (Jonah 3:10-4:1; Luke 15:20-28; Genesis 30:1, 2). What should provoke a New Testament Christian is quite different. Things like idol worship, inadequate treatment of others, turning from God, and dishonoring the house of God should cause indignation to swell up inside us (Exodus 32:19-22: 1 Samuel 20:33, 34; Matthew 21:12, 13; Acts 17:16, 17). This type of anger is justified (Mark 3:1-5). However, when this righteous indignation sets in, we will not forget who we are. We must be slow to anger (Nahum 1:3). It should not set in fast (Titus 1:7; Ephesians 4:6). We should be seeking to stir up love and good works no matter what (Hebrews 10:24, 25; 1 Corinthians 9:1, 2). We love the Lord so much it should bother us when He and His are mistreated. We need to handle things right and make sure we are never at fault for mistreat...

Love Never Fails

    Luke 15:11-32            The beautiful picture painted for us in the prodigal son is amazing to ponder. We often talk about the son and the father, the choices made, and the redemption found. But, have you ever thought about the love that never failed? The father never stopped loving his sons. Even when one went wayward, he still loved him and loved him dearly. I heard someone say to their child the other day, “Even if you make mistakes and do wrong, I still love you the same.” I know how it feels to think someone’s love may leave you. I know what it is like to worry that you will do enough wrong or the one wrong thing for their love to end. It makes for tear-filled nights and days filled with an aching heart. It causes things to be done, and a life lived out of fear. One day, I don’t remember when but I realized God is not that way. God’s love never ends. You cannot do enough wrong for God to stop loving you. That do...
