The Offense Of The Cross
God forbid that I should boast except in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ, by whom the world has been crucified to me, and I to the world. Galatians 6:14
In 2011, a sixty four year old electrician in England faced dismissal because he displayed a small cross on his dashboard of his work vehicle. The man said, “I have worked in the coal mines and served in the Army in Northern Ireland and I have never suffered such stress.” Company officials justified their demand by claiming the small cross might cause offense. But the electrician wouldn’t back down. “I have never been so full of resolve,” he told a newspaper. “I am determined to stand up for my rights. If they sack me, so be it. But I am standing up for my faith.” As children of God, we enjoy intimacy and security in Him, but we must also endure pressure and sometimes persecution for our faith. Yet we should never be discouraged. We have liberty in Christ, the promise of eternal life in Him, and we are a blessed people. Let’s be full of resolve and full of rejoicing, no matter what persecution may come. We don’t want to be personally or institutionally offensive but we cannot buffer the offense of the Cross.

Good Morning
Mirror Angst
He who looks into the perfect law of liberty and continues in it, and is not a forgetful hearer this one will be blessed in what he does. James 1:25 When a fashion retailer commissioned a study of what women thought of their appearance in the mirror, researchers found that 90 percent of women in their forties and fifties were unhappy with the way they looked and suffered from “midlife mirror angst syndrome.” According to the report, middle aged women were four times unhappier than teenage girls with what they saw in the mirror. Not so fast. For Christians, time enhances our appearance because the joy of the Lord shines through. As we age, let us seek to take on the “incorruptible beauty of a gentle and quiet spirit, which is very precious in the sight of God” (1Peter3:4). But how much better to gaze into the mirror of God’s Word! James says that the law is a mirror to show us what we’re like. Without Christ, all we see are the wrinkles of wickedness and ghostly pallor of despair. But with Christ, looking into God’s Word doesn’t bring condemnation or judgment. Study His Word today and see the mirror image of Christ. The mirror of the Word not only examines us and reveals our sins, but it helps to cleanse us as well.

Test Yourself
You must continue in the things which you have learned and been assured of, knowing from whom you have learned them.
2 Timothy 3:14
The best way to ensure the long life of an automobile is to regularly maintain it and change its oil. Car owners who want a smoothly running vehicle for many years develop the habit of routinely checking its basic systems. Do you regularly check and maintain your spiritual health? If not, use 2 Timothy 3 as a test to discern your spiritual condition. First ask yourself, “Do I exhibit any of the qualities of godless people listed in 2 Timothy 3:2-5?” They are described as “lovers of themselves, lovers of money, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy, unloving, unforgiving, slanderers, without self-control, brutal, despisers of good, traitors, headstrong, haughty, lovers of pleasure.” Second, determine if the qualities found in versus 10-12 are part of your life. Have you carefully followed sound doctrine, emulating Paul’s manner of life, purpose, faith, longsuffering, love, perseverance, etc.? What did you discover as you checked your heart? When you find a quality that does not belong in your life, eliminate it through confession and prayer. Regularly take a diagnostic look at your spiritual condition. When you drink from the stream, remember the spring. Amen Please Share And Have A Blessed Day And A Wonderful Weekend And Please Stay Safe Always 🙏🏾♥️

Christ Is Enough
Walk worthy of the Lord, fully pleasing Him, being fruitful in every good work. Colossians 1:10
Have you smiled at someone today? Held a door open? Let someone slip ahead of you in traffic? Changed a diaper? Written a check to a charity? Do any of those things make you more acceptable to God? There’s a biblical balance when it comes to good deeds. Our lives should be filled with them, but we don’t labor for the Lord because we have to. We do good things out of our love for Him. We are already fully accepted by God through the blood of Christ. When we’re justified by grace through faith, the righteousness of Christ is credited to our account. Thereafter we live a life of service because we love Him. Never worry about whether God loves you. If you know Christ as your Savior, don’t feel you have to win God’s favor. You have all His grace for all your needs. Just serve Him with a desire to please Him in all you do and say. Good works cannot put us right, but they necessary follow when we are right; they are the natural fruit and the ordained sphere of the new creature in Christ Jesus. Amen Please Share And Have A Great Day And Amazing Weekend And Please Stay Safe Always 🙏🏾♥️
