Spiritual Growth Does not Come Naturally

The mind of sinful man is death, but the mind controlled by the Spirit is life and peace: Romans 8:6 Physical growth is nature’s way of allowing your body to develop. Your spiritual nature needs to grow too. Many people ignore this important aspect of their lives because it cannot be observed or measured like your body can. Yet, that does not make it any less important. The greatest Guide and Adviser that you could ever find is Jesus Christ. He is the revelation of the living God and therefore has a perfect understanding of the problems that you wrestle...

ASSISTANCE PLEASE

“Mary called the Magdalene, from whom seven devils had gone out, Joanna, the wife of Herod’s steward Chuza, Susanna, and many others…were assisting them out of their means.” –Luke 8:2-3 Mary Magdalene, Joanna, Susanna, and many others assisted Jesus and the apostles out of their means. Many of you have assisted the Church out of your means. Many have assisted Presentation Ministries and One Bread, One Body out of your means. Although the Church greatly needs assistance, and assistance can be a supernatural gift of the Spirit (1 Cor 12:28), the charism and ministry of assisting others out of our...

LOVE-MAKINGS

“Little is forgiven the one whose love is small.” –Luke 7:47 Even what we call the slightest sin is an abomination before the all-holy God. Therefore, because we all have sinned, we deserve to receive God’s wrath (Eph 2:3) and to be punished forever in hell. However, the Lord took our sins and their punishment on Himself. He died on the cross to save us from sin and its consequences. If we repent and thereby accept Jesus’ death and forgiveness, we have accepted salvation. When we realize what Jesus has done for us, we live lives of thanksgiving (Lk 7:42)...

Father’s family model (part two)…

1 Thessalonians 2:11-12 11 As you know, we exhorted, comforted, and implored every one of you, as a father does his own children, 12 to the end that you should walk worthily of God, who calls you into his own Kingdom and glory. (WEB) In yesterday’s blog, I talked about how the Apostle Paul related to the Thessalonian church ‘like a nursing mother cherishes her own children’. Just a few verses after Paul uses the feminine illustration of intimacy, he describes a masculine version when he talks about his father-heart for them as well. Good fathers and mothers are not...
