Many Christians are dull of hearing. They can’t or won’t concentrate and focus on learning God’s Word. “We have many things to say, but they are hard to be uttered, seeing that you are dull of hearing” (Heb 5:11). You can become dull of hearing from a lack of exercise in your mind. You develop your faith by hearing God’s Word taught and applying it. “Faith comes by hearing and hearing by the Word...

No one knows the date they will die. Are you gambling on your future? “What is your life?” (James 4:13). Life is very valuable and it’s brief. ”Just a vapor, here today, gone tomorrow” (James 4:14). Redeem the time you have left wisely. God has a plan for you. Stay filled with the Holy Spirit and learn God’s Word to understand it and live it. God’s plan is perfect for you. Are you willing to learn...

In God’s plan, a miss by an inch is as good as a miss by a mile. The only way to get to heaven is to do the will of the Father. “This is the will of the One who sent Me that everyone who sees the Son and believes in Him may have everlasting life” (John 6:40). Do you believe faith alone in Christ alone or do you add something to it? If you add things such as works, baptism, being good, or giving mo...

Are you hot or cold, spiritually? Or are you lukewarm, playing at being a Christian? Are you just auditing the Christian life? God wants you to be hot. He wants you to be on fire to “grow in the grace and knowledge of your Lord and Savior Jesus Christ” (2 Pet 3:18). To be hot you need to use the supernatural powers God has given you—the filling of the Holy Spirit and the living Word of God. By tak...

Legalism is the arrogant pretension of fulfilling God’s plan through your human ability. Legalism and grace are mutually exclusive. Legalism manipulates, controls, judges you, and tries to force you to live a certain way. “Don’t judge lest you be judged” (Matt 7:1). God has provided you with problem-solving devices. When you try to add to them, you foul them up. Rely on God’s grace. When you expos...

Grace is the way to live in Christ. Grace is God’s policy - always free and always based on Who God is, never on what mankind does. “For by grace are you saved through faith. It is the gift of God, not of works, lest any man would brag about it” (Eph 2:8-9). Saving grace. Learn and understand how Jesus Christ functioned when He was on this earth, see how He used grace, and replicate His mind. This...

“Many false teachers have gone out into the world” (1 John 4:1) Be alert not to swallow false teaching. They are inspirational but they do not function by means of the power of the Holy Spirit. You have only so much time in this life and that’s why it’s so important to redeem the time wisely. The Holy Spirit is your guide, mentor, a tutor and will lead you into truth. Truth is what we need because...

Forgiveness is a sign of nobility in the Christian life. It's unique to Christianity. “Forgive as Christ forgave” (Eph 4:32). Forgiveness forgets. The two must go together. Justice belongs to God. We are never to retaliate. “For with what measure you measure, it will be measured back to you again” (Matt 7:2). Forgiveness requires the use of the problem-solving devices of impersonal love and grace...

Forgiveness is unique to Christianity. God never fails to forgive. We must learn to forgive. “If someone says I love God and hates his brother, he is a liar” (1 John 4:20). How often should you forgive someone who has offended you or done something against you? the Bible says always. Retribution and retaliation are sins. Don’t go there. Recall the words of our Lord Jesus Christ on the cross, “Fath...

When you learn the mind of Christ then you can live a Christ-like life. “Take My yoke upon you and learn of Me” (Matt 11:29). You must learn the Word of God. “Be diligent to present yourself approved to God as a worker who does not need to be ashamed, accurately handling the word of truth.” (2 Tim 2:15). The Bible is God’s living Word to you! Knowing the Word is the power line in your soul. In eve...

God has a plan for you. He reveals it through the Bible, only through the Word of God. “The Word of God is alive and powerful, sharper than a two-edged sword” (Heb 4:12). That’s why it is so important you find and study under a well-qualified pastor who will teach it to you. Everything you need to know about God is in the Bible. It is the only source of information about God’s plan that is availab...

Respect for authority is critical to the survival of any individual and to the perpetuation of a nation such as the USA. God set up a system of authority and it begins in the home. If a child rejects the authority of his parents, he will grow up to be a misfit in society. ‘Children obey your parents in the Lord for this is right” (Eph 6:1). The acceptance of authority depends on your volition. the...

Once saved, always saved. That’s eternal security. If you have believed in the Lord Jesus Christ as your Savior, by faith alone in Christ alone, you have eternal life. God will never take back the grace gift He gave you. Eternal security—knowing for a fact that you are going to heaven despite your flaws and failures—is an unbreakable relationship with God. Once in the family of God, you can’t be r...

Satan will set up roadblocks to your spiritual maturity. “The Holy Spirit says in the latter times some may depart from the faith and give heed to deceiving spirits and doctrines of demons speaking lies in hypocrisy” (1 Tim 4:1-5). Religion substitutes false doctrine for truth and sets up a system of works and rituals to replace the protocol plan of God. False teachers can only be detected through...

People can be a stumbling block to your spiritual growth. Be careful who you take advice from. The Word of God is your best advisor and counselor. Colleagues who don’t know what they are talking about can be hindrances. Jesus Christ said, “Let them alone. They are blind leaders of the blind and if the blind lead the blind, both shall fall into the ditch” (Matt 15:14). A pastor can be a stumbling b...

Guilt is a sin. Guilt leads to emotional instability. And if you live by guilt you will lose your perception of reality. Satan uses guilt to manipulate us, to discourage and defeat us. That’s why you need God’s problem-solving devices. Rebound and don’t look back. “Forgetting those things that are behind and reaching forward to those things which are ahead” (Phil 3:13-14). Guilt will cause repress...

Sin, arrogance and a lack of discernment can destroy us. Sin is something you think, something you say, or something you do. The Bible tells us to immediately name a sin to God the Father. Using rebound is how we handle sin. “If we confess our sin, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sin and to purify us from all wrongdoing” (1 John 1:9). You must learn to deal with arrogance. Arrogance is i...

Laconic means to be of few words. As a Christian, you should be laconic when talking about other people. But when talking about the Lord Jesus Christ you should always be ready! Keep your mouth shut when you are angry. “A short-tempered person acts stupidly and a person who plots evil is hated” (Prov 14:17). Be quiet when you’re tempted to tell a lie or twist the truth. “Everything I say is fair a...

Faith alone, in Christ alone, is how you get eternal life. “This is the record that God has given to us eternal life and this life is in His Son” (John 5:11-12). The issue is - do you believe in Jesus Christ? “He that believes that Jesus is the Christ is born of God” (1 John 5:1). You can express your faith to God by simply praying, “Father, I believe that Jesus Christ is Your Son and I am willing...

You never need to be lonely. As a Christian, Jesus Christ lives in you. You have the supernatural resources of the filling of the Holy Spirit and the Word of God to live your supernatural spiritual life. Loneliness is a type of arrogance. Preoccupation with friends can cause wrong priorities. Don’t lean on people to solve the issue of loneliness. Learning and applying God’s Word will solve lonelin...

Solomon’s great wisdom, status, and wealth backfired on him because he took his eyes off God. Solomon went into operation boomerang, a frantic search for happiness. Solomon tried to purchase happiness and it didn’t work. It was vanity, emptiness. “Whatever my eyes desired I kept not from them. I looked on all the works that my hands had wrought and on the labor that I had labored to do and behold...

Solomon had unbelievable wisdom and wealth, yet he was consumed with a frantic search for happiness. The book of Ecclesiastes tells us about it. Human viewpoint says people, things or circumstances can make you happy and it’s not true. What makes you happy is to renovate your thinking. Don’t think as the world thinks—you are just a sojourner in this devil’s world. “Let this mind be in you that was...

“Christ in you, the hope of glory” (Col 1:27). This is your destiny. This is your empowerment to live your spiritual life. You can’t access this power with unconfessed sin in your life. “If I regard iniquity in my heart, the Lord will not hear me” (Ps 66:18). You can’t live the Christian life in the energy of the flesh. Sin can be very subtle. All sin starts with something you think. You must rebo...

There is no room for bitterness in the family of God. Respond with forgiveness rather than react with bitterness. “We must cease our bitterness” (Eph 4:31). Bitterness is self-absorption and defiles and infects others. Bitter people have few friends because no one wants to be around a bitter person. “A stranger cannot share in the joy of your bitterness” (Prov 14:10). Bitterness is a mental attitu...
