STRIP

Strip yourselves of your former nature

which characterized your previous

manner of life and becomes corrupt

through lusts and desires that spring

from delusion;

And be constantly renewed in the

spirit of your mind,

And put on the new nature created

in God’s image, in true righteousness

and holiness.

Therefore, rejecting all falsity and being

done now with it, let everyone express

the truth with his neighbor, for we are

all parts of one body and members of

one another.

When angry, do not sin; do not ever let

your fury last until the sun goes down.

Leave no room or foothold for the devil.

Let the thief steal no more, but rather let

him be industrious, making an … Continue Reading

GOD’S GIFTS

God’s gifts and call are irrevocable.

(He never withdraws them when

once given, and He does not change

His mind about those to whom He

gives His grace or to Whom He sends

His call.)

DISCIPLINE

For God did not give us a spirit of timidity,

but He has given us a spirit of power, love

and of calm and well-balanced mind and

discipline and self-control.

(Timothy 1.7).

WHO

The spiritual man can read the meaning of

everything, but no one can properly discern

him.

For who has known the mind of the Lord so as

to guide Him? But we have the mind of Christ

and do hold the thoughts of His heart.

(I. Corinthians 2.16).

HALLELUJAH! THANK YOU LORD JESUS FOREVERMORE!

RISEN WITH CHRIST

Since, then, you have been raised with Christ,

set your hearts on things above where Christ

is seated at the right hand of God.

Set your minds on things above, not on earthly things.

For you died and your life is now hidden with Christ in God.

When Christ, Who is your life appears,

then you also will appear with Him in glory.

(Colossians 3.1-4).

HALLELUJAH! THANK YOU LORD JESUS FOREVERMORE!

WORK

Make it your ambition to lead a quiet life, to mind

your own business and to work with your hands,

just as we told you, so that your daily life may win

the respect of outsiders and so that you will not be

dependent on anybody.

(Thessalonians 4.11 & 12).

HALLELUJAH! THANK YOU LORD JESUS FOREVERMORE!

Spiritual Dilemma

Now if I do what I do not desire

to do, it is no longer I who do it,

but sin that dwells in me.

So I find it to be a rule of action

within my being that when I want

to do what is right and good, there

is evil in me, though I desire to do good.

For I delight in the Law of God

according to the inward man.

But I see another law in my members,

at war against the law of my mind,

making me a prisoner to the law of

sin which is in my members.

O wretched man that I am!

Who will deliver me from this

body … Continue Reading
