Sharing Door to Door

o•be•di•ence –noun 1. the state or quality of being obedient. 2. the act or practice of obeying; dutiful or submissive compliance 3. a sphere of authority or jurisdiction, esp. ecclesiastical.

To some it sounds like a hard word to swallow. But to those who truly know God it is like music. A symphony is obedient to the conductor for example. Is this a bad thing? No, it's a beautiful thing if done with the right heart.

John 14:15 "If you love me, you will obey what I command. And I will ask the Father, and he will give you another Counselor to be with you forever—the Spirit of truth. The world cannot accept him, because it neither sees him nor knows him. But you know him, for he lives with you and will be in you.

How can we be obedient to the Spirit of God? Answer: Read His Word. Just like following the recipe helps you create a beautiful dinner or desert. Following the Word of God helps you have a healthy, productive life and contribute to the beautiful thing God is working out through us.

Romans 5:19 For just as through the disobedience of the one man the many were made sinners, so also through the obedience of the one man the many will be made righteous.

This means that through Adam sin entered the world. And later Jesus through his perfect obedience to the Father made us righteous when we believe in Him.

'Tis the Season To Be Wealthy

Jesus who created everything and owns everything became a poor, humble man, that we might be rich and enter the kingdom of heaven. Not for earthly riches, but for eternal riches.

2 Corinthians 8:9
9For you know the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, that though he was rich, yet for your sakes he became poor, so that you through his poverty might become rich.

Isaiah 9:6
6 For to us a child is born,
to us a son is given,
and the government will be on his shoulders.
And he will be called
Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God,
Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace.
- He was rich.

Philippians 2
5Your attitude should be the same as that of Christ Jesus:
6Who, being in very nature God,
did not consider equality with God something to be grasped,
7but made himself nothing,
taking the very nature of a servant,
being made in human likeness.
8And being found in appearance as a man,
he humbled himself
and became obedient to death—
even death on a cross!
- He became poor

Anyone without the Lord Jesus is poor. Anyone with Jesus is rich. Add up everything you have that money cannot buy and that death cannot take away and you will know just how rich you are. You will never truly enjoy the things that money can buy until you first of all you possess the things money cannot buy. Jesus is the only one who can make something out of nothing ... and He cannot make anything out of you until you admit you are nothing.

this was taken from a sermon by Adrian Rogers.
