Conflicting Voices

The world is filled with voices that vie for our attention and influence our thoughts and actions. Throughout the day, consider the messages that are sent your way through the media and people. Consciously begin to compare them to what Scripture says about God and His ways.

A Blessed Life

A genuinely blessed life is one that is lived in the obedience and direction of God despite circumstance and regardless of material possessions. It is experiencing blessings in ways the world cannot understand or offer, and it's available to those who seek His will and His way.

Notice a Difference

Do not conform any longer to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind.--Romans 12:2. People should notice a difference in a Christian's character and conduct when comparing Christians to the rest of the world.

The Real McCoy

Elijah McCoy invented a cup that automatically dripped oil and it was installed on locomotives. Soon, everyone wanted a "McCoy Cup" because it greatly increased engine efficiency. Because of its popularity, there were many inferior copies made; so many in fact, that train engineers began to demand "the real McCoy" in order to get the genuine article. And that's how the phrase "the real McCoy" originated.

How to be Strong

In order to draw on the Lord's strength, we need to develop attitudes of humility, trust and perseverance.

Holiness = Strength

When we make holiness a priority and demonstrate obedience to the Lord, we'll receive supernatural strength to choose righteousness.--Charles Stanley

Mind Your Own Business!

Make it your ambition to lead a quite life, to mind your own business and to work with your hands, just as we told you, so that your daily life may win the respect of outsiders and so that you will not be dependent on anybody.--1 Thessalonians 4:11-12.

A State of Mind

Giving

The Lord loves a cheerful giver; he also accepts from the grouch.

Inadequacy

Inadequacy can be a blessing since it…

• Drives us to God as we recognize our helplessness
• Relieves us of the burden of trying to do God’s will in our own strength
• Motivates us to live in the power of the Holy Spirit
• Provides the Lord an opportunity to demonstrate what He can do
• Increases our u8sefulness to God by humbling our pride
• Allows Christ to receive all the glory
• Gives peace as we rely on Him

When our conscience is programmed with the truth of God's Word, it detects deviations from the Lord's standards and sends out a warning. The Holy Spirit uses that signal to get our attention. Then, He will reveal what the problem is, give us understanding about it, and show us the right choices to make.
