Thoughts on Today's Verse....

While there are many talented and successful Christians in the world today, they are merely vessels for God's message of grace, hope, and power. Our focus should never be on the container for the message. Instead, what is most important is the integrity of the messenger no matter the situation, so that the message can be seen without distraction. God's power is what sustains us, not our own, we are simply a vessel, a tool, in the hands of the Lord.

Basis for Christian Work - 

Ephesians 4:1-13

1 As a prisoner for the Lord, then, I urge you to live a life worthy of the calling you have received. 

2 Be completely humble and gentle; be patient, bearing with one another in love. 

3 Make every effort to keep the unity of the Spirit through the bond of peace. 

4 There is one body and one Spirit—just as you were called to one hope when you were called— 

5 one Lord, one faith, one baptism; 

6 one God and Father of all, who is over all and through all and in all.

7 But to each one of us grace has been given as Christ apportioned it. 

8 This is why it says: “When he ascended on high, he led captives in his train and gave gifts to men.”

9  (What does “he ascended” mean except that he also descended to the lower, earthly regions?

10 He who descended is the very one who ascended higher than all the heavens, in order to fill the whole universe.) 

11 It was he who gave some to be apostles, some to be prophets, some to be evangelists, and some to be pastors and teachers, 

12 to prepare God's people for works of service, so that the body of Christ may be built up 

13 until we all reach unity in the faith and in the knowledge of the Son of God and become mature, attaining to the whole measure of the fullness of Christ.

2 Timothy 2:15 

Do your best to present yourself to God as one approved, a workman who does not need to be ashamed and who correctly handles the word of truth.

2 Timothy 4:2 

Preach the Word; be prepared in season and out of season; correct, rebuke and encourage—with great patience and careful instruction. 

Hebrews 4:12 

For the word of God is living and active. Sharper than any double-edged sword, it penetrates even to dividing soul and spirit, joints and marrow; it judges the thoughts and attitudes of the heart.

Sins mentioned in the Bible - 8

Provoking God

Deuteronomy 9:7-8 

7 Remember this and never forget how you provoked the LORD your God to anger in the desert. From the day you left Egypt until you arrived here, you have been rebellious against the LORD. 

8 At Horeb you aroused the LORD's wrath so that he was angry enough to destroy you.

Deuteronomy 9:22 

You also made the LORD angry at Taberah, at Massah and at Kibroth Hattaavah.

Deuteronomy 32:16-21 

16 They made him jealous with their foreign gods and angered him with their detestable idols.

17 They sacrificed to demons, which are not God— gods they had not known, gods that recently appeared, gods your fathers did not fear.

18 You deserted the Rock, who fathered you; you forgot the God who gave you birth.

19 The LORD saw this and rejected them because he was angered by his sons and daughters.

20 “I will hide my face from them,” he said, “and see what their end will be; for they are a perverse generation, children who are unfaithful.

21 They made me jealous by what is no god and angered me with their worthless idols. I will make them envious by those who are not a people; I will make them angry by a nation that has no understanding.

Covetousness

1 Kings 21:1-4 

1 Some time later there was an incident involving a vineyard belonging to Naboth the Jezreelite. The vineyard was in Jezreel, close to the palace of Ahab king of Samaria. 

2 Ahab said to Naboth, “Let me have your vineyard to use for a vegetable garden, since it is close to my palace. In exchange I will give you a better vineyard or, if you prefer, I will pay you whatever it is worth.”

3 But Naboth replied, “The LORD forbid that I should give you the inheritance of my fathers.”

4 So Ahab went home, sullen and angry because Naboth the Jezreelite had said, “I will not give you the inheritance of my fathers.” He lay on his bed sulking and refused to eat.

Beth Moore’s Quotes

~ Courage comes from a heart that is CONVINCED it is loved.

~ Love is not only something God does; love is something God is. God would have to stop being in order to stop loving. Again, our temptation is to humanize God, because we are limited to understanding love as a verb. With God, love is first a noun. It’s what and who He is.

~ A head full of biblical knowledge without a heart passionately in love with Christ is terribly dangerous–a stronghold waiting to happen. The head is full, but the heart and soul are still unsatisfied.

3 For a long time Israel was without the true God, without a priest to teach and without the law.

5 In those days it was not safe to travel about, for all the inhabitants of the lands were in great turmoil.

47 and repentance and forgiveness of sins will be preached in his name to all nations, beginning at Jerusalem. 

48 You are witnesses of these things. 

49 I am going to send you what my Father has promised; but stay in the city until you have been clothed with power from on high.”

50 When he had led them out to the vicinity of Bethany, he lifted up his hands and blessed them.

1 Therefore, I urge you, brothers, in view of God's mercy, to offer your bodies as living sacrifices, holy and pleasing to God—this is your spiritual act of worship. 

2 Do not conform any longer to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God's will is—his good, pleasing and perfect will.

3 For by the grace given me I say to every one of you: Do not think of yourself more highly than you ought, but rather think of yourself with sober judgment, in accordance with the measure of faith God has given you. 

4 Just as each of us has one body with many members, and these members do not all have the same function, 

5 so in Christ we who are many form one body, and each member belongs to all the others. 

6 We have different gifts, according to the grace given us. If a man's gift is prophesying, let him use it in proportion to his faith. 

7 If it is serving, let him serve; if it is teaching, let him teach; 

8 if it is encouraging, let him encourage; if it is contributing to the needs of others, let him give generously; if it is leadership, let him govern diligently; if it is showing mercy, let him do it cheerfully.

13 Moses said to the LORD, “Then the Egyptians will hear about it! By your power you brought these people up from among them. 

14 And they will tell the inhabitants of this land about it. They have already heard that you, O LORD, are with these people and that you, O LORD, have been seen face to face, that your cloud stays over them, and that you go before them in a pillar of cloud by day and a pillar of fire by night. 

15 If you put these people to death all at one time, the nations who have heard this report about you will say, 

16 ‘The LORD was not able to bring these people into the land he promised them on oath; so he slaughtered them in the desert.’

17 “Now may the Lord's strength be displayed, just as you have declared: 

18 ‘The LORD is slow to anger, abounding in love and forgiving sin and rebellion. Yet he does not leave the guilty unpunished; he punishes the children for the sin of the fathers to the third and fourth generation.’ 

19 In accordance with your great love, forgive the sin of these people, just as you have pardoned them from the time they left Egypt until now.”

20 The LORD replied, “I have forgiven them, as you asked.
