Do You Glorify God in Your Movie Watching?
From Desiring God What is the last movie that you went to see at the theater? Why did you go see it, really? Were you glorifying God as you watched it? Is it possible to glorify God through the enjoyment of music, movies, literature, etc. produced by secular artists? Yes. I assume the computer you […]
Works of the Flesh and the Fruit of the Spirit – Part 2
August 20, 2010
Comments Off on Works of the Flesh and the Fruit of the Spirit – Part 2
In Part 1 of Works of the Flesh and the Fruit of the Spirit it was mentioned that the Bible gives us information that describes what a born again Christian looks like as well as what an unbeliever looks like, whether that means there is no profession of faith or a false profession. When one […]
Works of the Flesh and the Fruit of the Spirit – Part 1
August 19, 2010
One of the evidences Christians have in their tool box for assurance of salvation is whether the fruit of the Spirit is manifest in them. This fruit includes 9 characteristics: love, joy, peace, longsuffering, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control. Contrarily, the works of the flesh are evident in the unregenerate, unsaved person, which are: […]
The Unfruitful Works of Darkness vs the Fruit of Light

Comments Off on The Unfruitful Works of Darkness vs the Fruit of Light
By Mike Ratliff Let no one deceive you with empty words, for because of these things the wrath of God comes upon the sons of disobedience. Therefore do not become partners with them; for at one time you were darkness, but now you are light in the Lord. Walk as children of light (for the […]

Comments Off on Fighting Sin
By Ken Silva Let not sin therefore reign in your mortal bodies, to make you obey its passions. (Romans 6:12) Sin is not to be king over your mortal bodies. Sin is not to be obeyed. Your body is to be used for righteousness since you have been brought from death to life. Sin must […]

Comments Off on The Day Is at Hand – Awake from Your Slumber
By Justin Edwards And do this, knowing the time, that now it is high time to awake out of sleep; for now our salvation is nearer than when we first believed. 12 The night is far spent, the day is at hand. Therefore let us cast off the works of darkness, and let us put […]

Comments Off on Growth in Grace
When I speak of growth in grace, I do not for a moment mean that a believer’s interest in Christ can grow. I do not mean that he can grow in safety, acceptance with God, or security. I do not mean that he can ever be more justified, more pardoned, more forgiven, more at peace […]
A Living Sacrifice

Comments Off on A Living Sacrifice
“Offer up spiritual sacrifices acceptable to God through Jesus Christ” (1 Pet. 2:5). In Romans 12:1 Paul pleads with believers to present their bodies to God as a living and holy sacrifice, which is an appropriate and acceptable act of worship. But as someone has rightly said, the problem with living sacrifices is they tend […]

Comments Off on Transformation
By Mike Ratliff Do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewal of your mind, that by testing you may discern what is the will of God, what is good and acceptable and perfect. (Romans 12:2 ESV) Despite the fact that the unregenerate refuse to accept what I am about to […]
Who Are Your Friends?
June 9, 2010
By Justin Edwards Today’s Scripture from 1 Corinthians 15:33-34 prompted me to repost this from February. As we continue into this late hour, let us evaluate our relationships with the world and assess whether they be stumbling blocks in our relationship with our Lord and Savior. Who is in your inner circle? Believers or non-believers? […]
