God’s Plan for His Church is Perfect!

The local church congregation is God’s institution for discipleship and development of believers. To abandon it is to reject God‘s plan for His people. To conform it to the standards of self-will or worldly patterns is to defy the Divine intention of the Savior.

There are some who’ve been seduced by spiritual arrogance, greed, and pride; they cannot see the beauty contained within the Body of Christ.

Instead of trying to improve God’s plan for the church or trying to mold it into what pleases yourself, try following Christ, His Word, and The Holy Spirit.

Peace with God.

Do you live under the shadow of approval or disapproval from others. Turn your focus to Christ and find relief in Him. Even when circumstances don’t change, Christ can give you a supernatural peace that surpasses human logic. Those self-appointed judges will never understand why you seem so at peace until they turn to Him as well.

Trust Has Consequences!

Things that are dangerous and senseless: Trusting a non-believer to help you understand Spiritual things and their implications to your life; trusting an alligator that offers you a ride across a river.

You Will See This Again!

Here’s a thought concerning the controversy surrounding comedian, Kevin Hart, and Kyler Murray, Heisman Trophy winner, concerning their past tweets.

I’m not justifying what was tweeted, nor am I taking a position on how long ago the tweets were made, or the age when the tweet were made.

My position is this: Stop posting inappropriate and unkind things – PERIOD. It shows disrespect to the party; it undermines your intelligence; and it could publicly injure your integrity. There will always be someone willing to dig up your past to treat you like ‘the woman caught in adultery’, but in today’s society you may not find forgiveness. YOUR INAPPROPRIATE POSTS WILL COME BACK TO BITE YOU.

Before you post, you should definitely T.H.I.N.K.:

T – is it True?
H – is it Helpful?
I – is it Inspiring?
N – is it Necessary?
K – is it Kind?

Matthew 12:37, Ephesians 4:29, and James 4:11–12 advise and caution us about the spiritual consequences of our irresponsible use of words.

As Believers, we should practice the words of Apostle Paul, “Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report; if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these things.”, Phil 4:8.

Masters, But Not Disciples

Beware of the flood of would-be masters who will not be disciples.It is Oxymoronic/Paradoxical to find those who are resistant to authority yet they wish to be authoritative; to encounter those who refuse to follow leadership yet wish to lead others.
