A Routine Self-exam

One evening when I was up.

1. Results are Pass or Fail (v.5-6)

You can’t test anyone else.

are you in The Faith.

Jesus is in you

Are you counterfeit?

Sports Jerseys. 190-gram polyester with climaCool mesh. The logos are embroidered

Monopoly Money. Tell the difference?

2. Realization what’s Right (v.7-8)

Do right is the end.

Do right regardless of Paul

Truth is truth whether we like it or not. So, we can not do anything to change it but only to support it.

Truth is the government was shut down because of a dividing wall that someone else was supposed to pay for. Truth is…(Run. Black history, Immigration, Church)

3. Restoration is the Goal (v.9)

Paul then closes by letting them know that at the end of the day, restoration is what he is praying for. Its what he wants for the church. That they be made whole and a better version of themselves. There is no use in all of the preaching, teaching, ministry, protesting, if its not making people better, if its not restoring what has been taken from the enemy. (Elaborate) and the only way to know where you are lacking is to be tested. In 30 years of school I’ve learned a few thing about tests. It shows what you know and what you don’t know. It shows your strengths and weakness. It shows your intellect and your ignorance. It shows where your polished and where you can improve. Whenever you don’t get a 100% it shows you need work. And in this Christian Faith the truth is nobody has ever hit a 100% on perfection. But, God’s will is that you will be restored where you lack.
