Birds of a Feather Part 2 of 2
Let’s not forget that our mission is to win souls to Christ. This may cause us to have to go where non-believers are. Jesus sat and ate with sinners. But, He didn’t just hang out with them. His purpose was to minister to them. In Matthew 9:11, when Jesus was eating with the tax collectors and [...]
Birds of a Feather Part 1 of 2
When we are trying to accomplish something, we want to get around people that are striving for the same things we are striving for. Just getting away from a negative environment can change the way you look at things.
Judgments and Opinions Part 2 of 2
“It’s possible to be judgmental and negatively opinionated towards others and not even know it”
Judgments and Opinions Part 1 of 2
Have you ever formed a negative opinion about someone before you really got a chance to know them? Perhaps it was the other way around and someone formed a negative opinion about you before getting to know you? When we form these types of opinions about people before really knowing the facts, we are judging them, or [...]
Pick Them Up Part 2 of 2
I remember years ago, a girl that attended the same church as I did got pregnant. She and I had fallen out a few years prior to that and were no longer friends. When I heard that she had gotten pregnant, I was saddened. We were 16 at the time. Laughing at her bad situation wouldn’t have been right.
Pick Them Up Part 1 of 2
Something that saddens me is the behavior of the church when a fellow believer falls into sin. The conversation usually begins like this, “Girl, did you hear about so and so? Well since that happened, I can get that position.” This is wrong right from the beginning. Not only is gossiping being done here, love [...]
The Company You Keep Part 2 of 2
1 Corinthians 5:9-13 talks about believers that know the truth but choose to walk otherwise. Verses 9 and 10 tells us that we have to interact with non believers at some point in time. Verse 11 says “But now I have written to you not to keep company with anyone named a brother, who is [...]
The Company You Keep Part 1 of 2
For a long time, I misunderstood the true meaning of 1 Corinthians 15:33. I believe that many other people misunderstand the true meaning of it as well. It says “Do not be deceived: “Evil company corrupts good habits”. While we should be cautious of the company we keep, many mistake it to mean that we [...]
Comforted to Comfort
The comfort we receive during our tough times isn’t just for us to keep in a box and pull out whenever we need a trip down memory lane.
Get Better, Not Bitter Part 2 of 2
When I think or roots, I often think of plants. A plant’s roots absorb the nutrients from the soil. Just as natural roots on a plant suck the nutrients from the soil, bitterness sucks the life out of our spirits. When the spirit gets weak, our flesh gets stronger. Moreover, bitterness can affect us physically. [...]
