This is really annoying, but it's the way God made me, so it's my duty to control this habit. Yes i’m psyched for James!

This verse is pretty convicting for me because i generally run off speaking my mind immediately and actually comprehending what i said seconds later. This is really annoying, but it’s the way God made me, so it’s my duty to control this habit.

Mon, 01 Mar 2010 17:53:38 +0000 http://www.churchforhighschoolers.com/?p=1366#comment-41587 There is just way too much great stuff in here, so I'll tie in to what pastor Bobby preached on yesterday. 1 Let brotherly love continue. 2 Do not neglect to show hospitality to strangers, for thereby some have entertained angels unawares. Notice how the writer phrases verse 1. It's almost like he/she is assuming that these people are already loving their brothers in Christ, and simply encouraging them to continue doing so. I wonder, if some leader of the church were to write a letter to us here at Compass Bible Church--no, I'll be even more specific--at True North, would they immediately know that we all had a strong bond of love for each other? It starts with each of us individually. I would definitely say that I care about many of the people at True North, but there are so many people that I don't even know. Verse 2 talks about hospitality, but I think the same thing can be applied to us high-schoolers and our circles of friends. No matter where you are, there is almost always a new person there who probably feels uncomfortable or awkward. What I can take from this verse is that God wants me to welcome people in with love, even complete strangers. God, please give me the love to reach out to my brothers and sisters in Christ and a heart that truly cares for them!

This verse is a great verse because sometimes I get intimidated by other people and the gifts or talent that they have. Or maybe its more like me getting jealous. But this is the wrong perspective and definitely unbiblical. Instead I need to serve God wholeheartedly and do the best that I can humanely do with the gifts and abilities that he has given me. And instead of being jealous of others I should be praising God for the work He is doing. I need to be excited when God is using others to bring glory to His name!! Dear Lord please keep my focus on you and allow me to find joy in all of your works. Do not neglect to do good and to share what you have, for such sacrifices are pleasing to God.

This verse convicts me of all the times I have ever feared man. If I have the all-powerful LORD Jesus Christ with me to guide, protect, and empower me, how foolish is it when I worry about standing up for Jesus against before antagonistic nonchristians. I have already been promised the words to speak in the Holy Spirit, and I know that no one can do anything to me apart from God's will. I pray that I wouldn't stress about anything at all, because God's will will always come to pass without heed to anything that other people may or may not want to happen. If it is God's will that I be persecuted, then it will happen, and if its not it wont. I pray that I would submit to God's will because I know it is perfect and seek His will first by obeying His commands and trust that He will take care of me. 6 So we can confidently say,

“The Lord is my helper;
I will not fear;
what can man do to me?”

This verse goes hand-in-hand with Acts 24:16. Having a clear conscience before both God and men is a righteous characteristic. To be righteous before God is the best compliment anyone can have, and my goal for my life is to strive for righteousness before him. This verse talks about one crucial element of righteousness. To have a clear conscience is to know that in everything I do, no one can accuse me of hypocrisy, wrong doing, deceitfulness, etc. I know that I will sin, but I need to strive and "take pains" as Paul says in Acts 24 to keep my conscience as clear as I can. I want to be a point in my spiritual walk that when I go to bed at night, there is very little I regret doing because it wasn't pleasing to the Lord. If I am to pursue true righteousness and Godliness, every action I take needs to be with the utmost care as to please my Lord. I owe everything I am to him, and he has blessed me so much. I want to make my life one that demonstrates the love and grace that he has shown to me to other people, and I pray that the Lord will help me develop into a man of righteousness after his own heart. 18 Pray for us, for we are sure that we have a clear conscience, desiring to act honorably in all things.
