Many of us, while we are devoted to Christ, do not consciously depend upon Him and upon the blessed indwelling Holy Spirit day after day and moment by moment.
Run to the mercy seat and let the Lord Jesus cleanse you and go on without the stain, walking in the light. Spot has to do with character. Blameless has to do with relationships
Living peacefully with people depends upon genuine concern for the other person. Look for ways to help him or her and to encourage and to bless. You’d be surprised how things improve.
What are the things that are so true, so deeply held in your own heart and mind and conscience, so much of a conviction that you are willing to pattern your life and, if need be, to die for them?
The work of the Holy Spirit is to remind you. But he can’t remind you of something you never forgot. If you don’t put it in there, He can’t remind you of it. So, part of our job is to hide God’s Word in the memory bank.
The presence of God evident in your life. Now that’s much more than religiosity and piety that’s put on. You cannot fake real godliness. It can’t be done. It has to be real, the mystery of godliness. Why is a person that way?
See, holiness is not a tag that you wear. It’s a commitment of your life. Holiness is simply being set aside for God to use your voice, your hands, your home, your car, your telephone, your typewriter, your computer, whatever. Set aside for God to use.
You end up worshipping that which is most important to you. Anything that is more valuable to you than the will of God is your idol and so that which you consider the most valuable is that which you’ll end up worshipping.
