Brokenness leads to humility, humility leads to repentance, and repentance leads to the saving of our souls.
Let's choose a PATH that Changes Lives to the Glory, Honor and Praise of our Heavenly Father, our LORD and Saviour Christ Jesus.
We are to walk in a manner that will not cause those following or watching us to stumble or fall and miss the way. People are watching us everyday rather we perceive it to be or not. Both the Saved Brother, and the Soon to be Saved Brother, and our Sisters are definitely watching our every move, and listening intently when we are speaking. So let us uphold the WORD of GOD in our actions, in our speech, in our public and private lives. It is written that all evil which is done in the dark will be exposed to the light. We can not afford to live recklessly,selfishly, or carelessly: our children are watching, our wives/husbands are watching, our mothers and fathers are watching, our unsaved brothers/sisters are watching and YES we are watching each other. So we must live our life on purpose, being positioned to stand in truth and in righteousness, so that our living would be a PATH that is leading to the Highway to Heaven...... We are one body in Christ, and individually members one of another. You do remember the nursery rhyme song : my hip bone is connected to my thigh bone is connected to my knee bone, and my knee bone is connected to my ankle bone and my ankle bone is connected to ,,,,,,, most people take care of what is pleasing to look at and ignore the less pleasing parts....some people will compliment your hair, or eyes, or smile, stating that you are either pretty or handsome, then others less appealing to the eye receive nothing........I think that is some what the Scripture represent, how we shouldn't become so high-minded because we have the upper position: apostle, preacher, deacon (-ness) prophet or prophetess, or more comely parts: brand new cars, large houses, vacation homes, etc....and despise or look down on others that do not have the same title, position, wealth or financial success......cause there was a poor man in a particular city who prayed for the peace and protection of that city and God answered him......cause there was a widow woman who gave 2 pennies and the LORD honored her offering, more so than the others who gave much more.......and there was a baby boy born in a manager, wrapped in swaddling clothing who became our sacrificial lamb and took away our sins, even the sins of the whole world John 3:16 For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son that whosoever would believe on Him would have eternal life, they would not perish. So stop throwing others away as if they were rotten, because they are not in the spotlight, or have money, or fancy cars or whatever you find so valuable, more than a human life. We need each other to survive. 12:3 For by the grace given to me I bid every one among you not to think of himself more highly than he ought to think, but to think with sober judgment, each according to the measure of faith which God has assigned him. 12:4 For as in one body we have many members, and all the members do not have the same function, 12:5 so we, though many, are one body in Christ, and individually members one of another. |
