Reflections Cover


Matthew 5:20 “Here is what I tell you. You must be Godlier than the Pharisees and the teachers of the law. If you are not, you will certainly not enter the kingdom of heaven.”

 

Holiness is our new standard of living. There will be times when we are still tempted to return to our old ways. Peter tell to be holy in everything we do 1 Peter 1:15 The one who chose you is holy. So you should be holy in all that you do. That is not always an easy task with some of the things we are faced with in life transformation. The way to be holy in everything is complete devotion to God and developing His qualities for living in every area of our lives.

  • How are you adopting God’s qualities of living to your daily life?

 

Prayer:  God I call on Your power today too free me from the grip of my sinful nature and help me live Your qualities in every area of my life.

#2089 Because God is Gracious

12-STEPS_thumb.png

HAVING GONE THROUGH THESE STEPS AND DISCOVERING THE IMPORTANCE OF INDIVIDUAL RELATIONSHIP WITH GOD THROUGH JESUS,  I WILL TRY TO LIVE ACCORDING TO HIS PRINCIPLES AND TO LEAD OTHERS TO PERSONAL RELATIONSHIP WITH HIM.

 

 1 Corinthians 15:10 Because God was so gracious, so very generous, here I am.
And I’m not about to let his grace go to waste.

Christians In Recovery A favourite slogan we hear in recovery is “But for the grace of God.” This phrase has multiple meanings for recovering people. But for the grace of God, we might not have broken out of denial and recognized the gravity of our dependencies. But for the grace of God, we might not have found support groups, Twelve Step recovery organizations, and the church community, which have ministered to our areas of dependency. But for the grace of God we might not have “hit bottom” as a crossroads to propel our lives into a radically new direction. But for the grace of God, we might not have found God and then been reborn to Him.

Step Twelve is a grace-filled step. Having gone through the steps and entering personal relationship with God, we are charged to radiate His grace to those around us as we diligently seek to try and live according to His principles. And, become living testimonies to Paul’s words that “because of God’s grace” we are now at this point in our lives and “we are not about to waste it.”

Luke 1:38 Mary responded, “I am the Lord’s servant. May everything you have said about me come true.” 

A young unmarried girl who became pregnant risked disaster. Unless the father of the child agreed to marry her, she would probably remain unmarried for life. If her own father rejected her, she could be forced into begging or prostitution in order to earn her living. And Mary, with her story about becoming pregnant by the Holy Spirit, risked being considered crazy as well. Still, Mary said, despite the possible risks, “May everything you have said about me come true.” When Mary said that, she didn’t know about the tremendous opportunity she would have. She only knew that God was asking her to serve him, and she willingly obeyed. Don’t wait to see the bottom line before offering your life to God. Offer yourself willingly, even when the outcome seems disastrous.

“Having called His men, Jesus made a practice of being with them. This was the essence of His training program—just letting His disciples follow him.” 

Matthew 28:20 “I’ll be with you as you do this, day after day after day, right up to the end of the age.”

I know what I’m doing. I have it all planned out–plans to take care of you, not abandon you, plans to give you the future you hope for. Jeremiah 29:11

“Look! I stand at the door and knock. If you hear My voice and open the door, I will come in, and we will share a meal together as friends. Revelation 3:20

God put his love on the line for us by offering his Son in sacrificial death while we were of no use whatever to him. Romans 5:8
