“Do all things without grumbling or disputing, that you may be blameless and innocent, children of God without blemish in the midst of a crooked and twisted generation, among whom you shine as lights in the world, holding fast to the word of life, so that in the day of Christ I may be proud … Continue reading Among a Crooked Generation
If We Live By The Spirit
“If we live by the Spirit, let us also keep in step with the Spirit. Let us not become conceited, provoking one another, envying one another.” (Galatians 5:25-26 NASB1995) Today I got word that the pastor I had from 1967 to 1977, from when I was 17 years old to 27 years old, went home … Continue reading If We Live By The Spirit
The Fruit of The Spirit
“But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, self-control; against such things there is no law. And those who belong to Christ Jesus have crucified the flesh with its passions and desires.” (Galatians 5:22-24 NASB1995) What is “fruit”? Yes, it is something that we eat, which is supposed … Continue reading The Fruit of The Spirit
Walk By The Spirit
“But I say, walk by the Spirit, and you will not gratify the desires of the flesh. For the desires of the flesh are against the Spirit, and the desires of the Spirit are against the flesh, for these are opposed to each other, to keep you from doing the things you want to do. … Continue reading Walk By The Spirit
But Because I Tell The Truth
I am going to repeat a little bit of the Scripture passage from the previous writing, but with additional Scriptures, with a slightly different emphasis: John 8:42-47 NASB1995: Jesus said to them, “If God were your Father, you would love me, for I came from God and I am here. I came not of my … Continue reading But Because I Tell The Truth
If God Were Your Father
So, I am going to tell you a little parable here, but it is a true story. I was wearing old and worn out shoes which were too big for my feet. So, for my birthday, my husband bought me some new shoes which fit my feet much better. And I was excited to have … Continue reading If God Were Your Father
If We Continue In His Word
John 8:30-36 NASB1995: As He spoke these things, many came to believe in Him. So Jesus was saying to those Jews who had believed Him, “If you continue in My word, then you are truly disciples of Mine; and you will know the truth, and the truth will make you free.” They answered Him, “We … Continue reading If We Continue In His Word
Let Us Love One Another
“Beloved, let us love one another, for love is from God; and everyone who loves is born of God and knows God. The one who does not love does not know God, for God is love. By this the love of God was manifested in us, that God has sent His only begotten Son into … Continue reading Let Us Love One Another
No Fear in Love
“There is no fear in love; but perfect love casts out fear, because fear involves punishment, and the one who fears is not perfected in love. We love, because He first loved us. If someone says, ‘I love God,’ and hates his brother, he is a liar; for the one who does not love his … Continue reading No Fear in Love
Abiding in God
“Whoever confesses that Jesus is the Son of God, God abides in him, and he in God. We have come to know and have believed the love which God has for us. God is love, and the one who abides in love abides in God, and God abides in him. By this, love is perfected … Continue reading Abiding in God
