Confession of Faith

I am not moved by what I see or by what I feel. I am moved by what I believe. I believe the WORD of God! The victory is mine! I have it now! I can see it through the eyes of my faith!

It’s Hard being a Man

David sharing his last words with his son Solomon

1 Kings 2:1–4 NLT

1 As the time of King David’s death approached, he gave this charge to his son Solomon: 2 “I am going where everyone on earth must someday go. Take courage and be a man. 3 Observe the requirements of the Lord your God, and follow all his ways. Keep the decrees, commands, regulations, and laws written in the Law of Moses so that you will be successful in all you do and wherever you go. 4 If you do this, then the Lord will keep the promise he made to me. He told me, ‘If your descendants live as they should and follow me faithfully with all their heart and soul, one of them will always sit on the throne of Israel.’

The bible describes what our conduct should look like

Follow his ways

Philippians 1:27 NIV

27 Whatever happens, conduct yourselves in a manner worthy of the gospel of Christ. Then, whether I come and see you or only hear about you in my absence, I will know that you stand firm in the one Spirit, striving together as one for the faith of the gospel

Treat People Right

12 “Do to others what you want them to do to you. This is the meaning of the law of Moses and the teaching of the prophets.

31 “Here is a simple rule of thumb for behavior: Ask yourself what you want people to do for you; then grab the initiative and do it for them!

Help Others

Titus 2:12 NCV

12 It teaches us not to live against God nor to do the evil things the world wants to do. Instead, that grace teaches us to live in the present age in a wise and right way and in a way that shows we serve God.

Don’t sweat the small stuff

Hebrews 12:1 NCV

1 We are surrounded by a great cloud of people whose lives tell us what faith means. So let us run the race that is before us and never give up. We should remove from our lives anything that would get in the way and the sin that so easily holds us back.

Check yourself first - before checking others

1 Corinthians 9:27 NKJV

27 But I discipline my body and bring it into subjection, lest, when I have preached to others, I myself should become disqualified.

Walk in Peace

11 Make it your goal to live a quiet life, minding your own business and working with your hands, just as we instructed you before.

Desire To Please God
