Spiritual Equilibrium

What messes up our spiritual equilibrium? Sin and this world will through you out of spiritual balance every time. We have to be careful. We have to be vigilant. We have to be aware at all times. It does not take much. It has always amazed me how a small inner ear problem can make it so difficult to walk. The same goes for our  spiritual walk. It can be the smallest invisible thing that can make it difficult to walk in the light. The teachings of the world, things that sound good, things that are pleasing, and things that seem harmless can nock us off the narrow way with out us even knowing it. Be careful that your spiritual equilibrium stays true even in the roughest of times. If you do not the results are catastrophic.

“Now these are the ones sown among thorns; they are the ones who hear the word,and the cares of this world, the deceitfulness of riches, and the desires for other things entering in choke the word, and it becomes unfruitful.” Mark 4:18-19

“for Demas has forsaken me, having loved this present world, and has departed for Thessalonica” 2 Tim. 4:10

“But Jesus said to him, “No one, having put his hand to the plow, and looking back, is fit for the kingdom of God.”” Luke 9:62

Keep working hard and  stay vigilant. Keep your eye keen and mind true. Find lost souls today and give them hope. :)

Gal. 1:3-5

The Core

The center of all things is life.  Our lives can be run by our selfish ambitions or the life that Christ gives. That decision rest in your hands. If your life revolves around you and what you want, then you will be rewarded accordingly. However, if your life revolves around Christ there is a crown of life awaiting you. Who has to get out of the way for this to happen? You do. You have to crucify yourself. You must say “It is no longer I who lives, but Christ lives in me!”  We must enthrone Christ in our lives. Make your life Christ centered.  Start today. “But you have not so learned Christ, if indeed you have heard Him and have been taught by Him, as the truth is in Jesus:  that you put off, concerning your former conduct, the old man which grows corrupt according to the deceitful lusts, and be renewed in the spirit of your mind, and that you put on the new man which was created according to God, in true righteousness and holiness.” Eph. 4:20-24 "I ha...

Self- control

Be strong and steadfast. Don't let your feelings and anger rule you. Be careful to keep your wrath from pouring from your mouth. Such things have no business controlling your life. It damages others. It damages you even more! Process your emotions and stay self-controlled.  Glorify God in all you do! :) (Col. 3:17) "A fool vents all his feelings, But a wise man holds them back." Proverbs 29:11 "So then, my beloved brethren, let every man be swift to hear, slow to speak, slow to wrath; for the wrath of man does not produce the righteousness of God." James 1:19-20 Keep up all the good work! Look for opportunities to serve and spread the Word. Encourage a brother or sister today. :) Gal. 1:3-5

Moderation

Be the sower that is sowing the seed. Those in the dark need us to call out so they can find their way home. We let things in this world take over. We let things like eating, work, pleasure, and sleep get to much of our lives. (Psalm 22:26; Mk.6:30-32; 2 Tim. 3:2-4; Prv. 6:9) Moderation is elemental to our faith. Temperance is best defined as having moderation in action, thought, or feeling.  We must be self-controlled in our lives. It is a work of the Spirit. We must be careful to adhere to a strict standard of moderation. If we do not the world will take over our lives. When that happens we forget about those wondering in the darkness. We begin to drift from shore into the storm forgetting God. Strong qualities as temperance being taught caused Felix to tremble. The world is afraid of such things. Self-control opposes the world and its teachings. Christians have moderation in all things as we strive for an imperishable crown. “gentleness, self-control. Against such there is no...
