Stand Up for Jesus

Written by Joyce C. Lock


Continued from page 1

We must also be careful that we stand inrepparttar right way, forrepparttar 123413 right reason…

1.)choosing our stand carefully, modeling Jesus.

2.)examining our heart and motives, along with God's direction, that we bring glory and honor to Him.

3.)to never attack people, Satan beingrepparttar 123414 enemy.

4.)to put aside doctrinal differences forrepparttar 123415 sake of unity (united we stand, divided we fall).

5.)to never think ourselves higher (only byrepparttar 123416 grace of God when it isn't me).

6.)to rejoice in each other's victories without name calling, envy, or competition (we're onrepparttar 123417 same side).

7.)to think of our neighbor in every way, as if he were us.

8.)to pray for friends that offend, as well as foes, Job 42:10.

We can make a difference once we decide to berepparttar 123418 difference, then do it all forrepparttar 123419 glory of God. It begins within "OUR" heart.

People Do the Oddest Things

Written by Joyce C. Lock


Continued from page 1

We sleep in on Sunday morning, thinking it will make our day brighter. Instead, it makes our week longer.

We prefer to exhaust ourselves with endless deeds than to slow down, spend time with God, and ask Him what He wants us to do.

We work allrepparttar overtime we can get, steal God’s tithe, and then think we’re going to financially get ahead.

Believing our doubts and doubting our beliefs; were we to considerrepparttar 123412 things we do, we might find them odd, too ... then look for more desirable alternatives.

Someone once said, “When we feed our faith, our doubts will starve to death.”
