Situation 62 Meaningless Talk

Situation 62 Meaningless Talk

There’s a lot of meaningless talk out there. Live out the main thing. Don’t let people get you focused on minor things. Major in the major. The Book of Titus teaches us well this very thing.

Situation 61 "When Jesus Changes Relationships"

Situation 61 "When Jesus Changes Relationships"

Our relationships are different with different people. Philemon is about the changes in his relationship with someone because of their new relationship with Jesus. As a disciple of Christ, there is something that far outweighs the importance of liking someone -- and that's loving someone because of the gospel.

Situation 60: Is My Relationship with God Enough?

Situation 60: Is My Relationship with God Enough?

You already have everything you need because you have a relationship with Christ. Don't let the world tell you any different and persuade you that you need more than Jesus. Paul's letter to the Colossian church addresses this specifically, providing the solution we need to hear and embrace.

Situation 59: Conformity

Situation 59: Conformity

Society has conformed Christians to its beliefs and ways. In Ephesians, Paul calls believers to conform to Christ. It is through what Christ did for us and our conformity to Him that we can successfully fight the powers that ultimately control society.

Situation 58: A Lack of Discernment

In 2 Corinthians, Paul writes about the church's lack of discernment between truth and lies, between true apostles and false apostle, between believers and unbelievers, between boasting about God and boasting about one's self, between people who do things for God and people who do things for themselves in the name of God.

Situation 57: Divisions

Situation 57: Divisions

God's love in Christ is the solution to divisions -- not any love, but God's love. This is not a love that can be practiced alone, but has to be practiced as the one Body of Christ. We need to live now in what will be our eternal state of existence.

Situation 56: Idleness

Situation 56: Idleness

Situation 55: How to Live Right

Situation 55: How to Live Right

How do I live right? Or maybe the better question is how do I get myself to live right? Paul says in 1 Thessalonians 1 that your works is produced by faith, your labor is prompted by love, and your endurance is inspired by hope in Jesus. Faith, hope and love... That's the fuel that will get my life moving in the right direction each day. I can grow my faith, hope and love by looking forward to the return of Jesus.

Situation 54 Your Faith is Enough

Situation 54 Your Faith is Enough

Simply put -- your faith is enough. Profoundly proclaimed by Paul in his letter to the churches in the Roman occupied province called Galatia, faith is all you need to be a full part of the body of Christ. Full Stop. Don't let ANYONE add anything to the good news of Jesus. Your faith is enough because the Jesus is enough.

Situation 53 Relationships

Situation 53 Relationships

Situation 52: How Can I Be Righteous?

Situation 52: How Can I Be Righteous?

Righteousness is an attribute that is exclusive God. He imparts righteousness to us as gift through faith in Jesus. We can't get righteousness any other way. We can't earn it. We receive it because God actively has chosen to give it to us. None of us deserves it. But all of us have equal access to it.

Situation #51 POWER

Situation #51 POWER

Power is an elusive thing in the world. But we don't need the world's power. We need the power of God. We need the power of the Holy Spirit. And both John the Baptist and later Jesus talk about the baptism of the Holy Spirit. This is the power of the Body of Christ. This is the power of the church that is missing in so churches. But what is this baptism of the Holy Spirit for?
