Covered

Above all, keep loving one another earnestly, since love covers a multitude of sins. 1 Peter 4:8 I think that someone loving me, when they do it well, cover sins towards me. I'm willing to know that they aren't trying to hurt me in instances where their actions do cause me pain. I might not stay... Continue Reading →

Brotherly Love

Love one another with brotherly affection. Outdo one another in showing honor. Romans 12:10 God's love is different to me than brotherly affection. Some translations say "be devoted in brotherly love". God's love is perfect; brotherly love is constant but has its ups and downs. I think God knew we wouldn't always love with His perfect...

Owe No One

Owe no one anything, except to love each other, for the one who loves another has fulfilled the law. Romans 13:8 I dislike feeling like I owe someone something. I love to bless others and I don't consider that anyone needs to pay me back. I wish it was the same way with bills. I have... Continue Reading →

His Instructions

Apply your heart to instruction    and your ear to words of knowledge. Proverbs 23:12 I'm two weeks into a coaching program to help me live healthier. This program has a God focus, which is the piece up to this point I have been missing in my failed attempts to be healthy and treat my body as... Continue Reading →

I am free to do whatever I want, but there are still consequences to actions. It is so easy... Continue Reading →

Whoever brings blessing will be enriched,    and one who waters will himself be watered. Proverbs 11:25 It can be a blessing to be the one giving a blessing. It can also be a blessing to someone to have the opportunity to bless. We can be enriched by meeting the needs of another, but also by allowing someone else... Continue Reading →

Conditions

So, brothers, in whatever condition each was called, there let him remain with God. 1 Corinthians 7:24 Paul was answering all the questions about who should remain a servant or be circumcised after coming into relationship with Christ. He was telling them that right where they were was OK. Whatever your condition, you can be in... Continue Reading →

Righteous

What shall we say, then? That Gentiles who did not pursue righteousness have attained it, that is, a righteousness that is by faith; but that Israel who pursued a law that would lead to righteousness did not succeed in reaching that law. Why? Because they did not pursue it by faith, but as if it were based on works. They have... Continue Reading →

Training

training us to renounce ungodliness and worldly passions, and to live self-controlled, upright, and godly lives in the present age, Titus 2:12 God is willing to train us if we let Him. He wants to be our personal trainer, to help us say no to the things of this world and sin. He promised us the Spirit of... Continue Reading →
