(Rom 14:19) “Let us therefore follow after the things which make for peace, and things wherewith one may edify another.” “Follow after the…things wherewith one may edify another.” If we have offended another person’s conscience through something we allow into our life, they will resent us and therefore not listen to godly instruction from us. If we are to edify, build them up spiritually, we will have to first cast aside the thing that offends them. Is their soul’s good worth it?
THIRSTING SOULS BIBLE TEACHING: The Psalms Series, Psalm Chapter One, Lesson #1
The blessings of God are pronounced upon the person that seeks to please God rather than to go down the road of sin. Sin is progressive, as seen in the terms, “walketh”, “standeth”, and “sitteth”. Join us as we look closely at this important instruction from the Lord.
THIRSTING SOULS BIBLE TEACHING: Life of Christ, Lesson #7, “A Remnant from the Past”, Part 2, “A Surprise in the Holies”
This study finds the hand of God putting an elderly man in the Holy Place of the Temple. An angel appears with a wonderful message that reaches far beyond the man’s current hopes or dreams. Join us as we enter that Holy Place to listen to this conversation.
DAILY DROP OF WATER
(Rom 14:19) “Let us therefore follow after the things which make for peace, and things wherewith one may edify another.” Some have mistaken this to mean it was all right to overlook doctrine. No, that is God’s. Context: self’s desires. Put away self’s desires for the sake of peace, the soul that needs Christ Jesus.
DAILY DROP OF WATER
(Rom 14:18) “For he that in these things serveth Christ is acceptable to God, and approved of men.” Men may choose to stand against the doctrines of the Lord, but find themselves hard pressed to speak against the person who puts them before himself. That same person should point them to Jesus: “Jesus put you first dying for your sins on Calvary’s cross.”
DAILY DROP OF WATER
(Rom 14:18) “For he that in these things serveth Christ is acceptable to God, and approved of men.” Does what things? Puts others before self for the sake of their souls and the testimony of the Lord. In putting others first, we are in reality acknowledging our God as our Lord.
DAILY DROP OF WATER
(Rom 14:17) “For the kingdom of God is not meat and drink; but righteousness, and peace, and joy in the Holy Ghost.” I am afraid so many of us never enter into this area of blessing – “joy in the Holy Ghost”. Our lives should be filled with joy, not from the things of this world, but from the Holy Ghost prompting us to rejoice in our Savior and the life He has given us.
DAILY DROP OF WATER
(Rom 14:17) “For the kingdom of God is not meat and drink; but righteousness, and peace, and joy in the Holy Ghost.” “Peace” of soul knowing we are in the very hands of God Himself: (Joh 10:27) “My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me: (28) And I give unto them eternal life; and they shall never perish, neither shall any man pluck them out of my hand. (29) My Father, which gave them me, is greater than all; and no man is able to pluck them out of my Father’s hand.”
DAILY DROP OF WATER
(Rom 14:17) “For the kingdom of God is not meat and drink; but righteousness, and peace, and joy in the Holy Ghost.” How precious life is when our focus is righteousness, doing that which is right in the sight of God. Notice what follows – “peace”. A heart seeking to be righteous results in peace: “Thou shalt keep him in perfect peace whose mind is stayed upon Thee…” (Isa 26:2)
DAILY DROP OF WATER
(Rom 14:17) “For the kingdom of God is not meat and drink; but righteousness, and peace, and joy in the Holy Ghost.” The focus of this life we have been saved into is not pleasure for self, but holiness for God. Which are you focused upon?
