Thinking of my dad today and all the memories of the past! My father was a man of principle and integrity, yet maintaining a great sense of humor. I still remember simple words of wisdom that he often shared.

Although his birthday was October 4, I remember him every day of my life for all the sacrifices he made for me and my three brothers.

Love you, daddy!

There is an old church song that simply says, “Let Jesus Fix It For You.” Come expecting to meet Jesus! Take Him at His promise—Father, speak to the hearts of those who need Your touch, who needs a touch from Your Presence!

The Greek word for "test" in 1 John 4:1 is dokimazō (δοκιμάζω), which means to examine, prove, or scrutinize—originally used for testing metals to see if they are pure.

The Greek dokimazō can carry the sense of making an evaluative judgment, but it is rarely translated as "judge" in English Bibles because a different Greek word, krinō is standard for "judge".

The Difference: Dokimazō means to test or analyze something to approve what is genuine. By contrast, krinō often means to pronounce a final legal verdict, sentence, condemnation.

Usage: While dokimazō involves critical discernment, its goal is verification and approval rather than condemnation.

GRACE DOESN’T GIVE PERMISSION
TO STAY THE SAME

TITUS 2:11–12

“For the grace of God that bringeth salvation hath appeared to all men, teaching us that, denying ungodliness and worldly lusts, we should live soberly, righteously, and godly…”

Grace is not God’s permission to continue living according to the old nature.

Grace is God’s power and instruction for learning a new way of life.

It teaches us to say “no” to ungodliness and worldly desires and “yes” to a life that reflects God.

This means grace should produce transformation.

If someone says, “I have grace, so it doesn’t matter how I live,” they have misunderstood what grace is doing.

Grace doesn’t remove the call to holiness.

Grace teaches us how to pursue it.

And notice the order:

God’s grace brings salvation.

Then God’s grace begins training the saved person.

You don’t obey God to earn grace.

You obey because grace has already reached you.

So when God corrects you, don’t immediately interpret correction as rejection.

Sometimes the very correction you are resisting is evidence that grace is still working on you.

The question isn’t merely:

“Am I saved by grace?”

Ask yourself:

“What is the grace of God teaching me to stop, start, surrender, and become?”

Because genuine grace doesn’t make you comfortable with everything Christ came to change.

Grace changes what you are willing to remain.

REMEMBER

Grace doesn’t lower God’s standard so you can remain unchanged.

Grace takes you by the hand and teaches you how to walk in a new life.
