In this episode, we discuss the difference between judgement and correction. Judgement is not for improvement, it's a conclusion, whereas correction is for the purpose of improvement.  Accepting correction can be hard and oftentimes we interpret correction as judgement.  

Scriptures:

1. Luke 6:37
2. Romans 14:10-13
3. Rev. 20:11-13
4. Hebrews 12:11
5. II Tim. 3:16
6. Prov. 3:12
7. Prov. 15:31-32

It is  important to realize that when we are not open to correction and instruction, this can hinder our Christian walk. If we do not acknowledge that we make mistakes and sometimes need to change our ways, this can have negative consequences. The Bible informs us that God is our only judge. If we can be given correction and be corrected, we will be able to confidently stand before God in the judgement without condemnation.

In this episode we discuss the beauty of leaving and cleaving to God.   We cannot be made the servants of God until we are freed from the power and dominion of sin; we cannot serve two masters so directly opposite one to another as God and sin are.  Cleaving to God is a resignation of ourselves to the service of God and righteousness; to God as our master, to righteousness as our work.

2. Luke 9:57-62
3. II Cor. 5:17
4. I Cor. 13:11

This episode is proud to present the Gospel of Jesus Christ! We are excited to share our passion about what the Bible says it takes to be saved, what it means to be saved, what we're actually saved from, and much more.  

Notes to consider:

What does being saved get you…

• Forgiveness of Sins – Atonement provided by his sacrifice… penalty paid in full.
• 13 And you, being dead in your sins and the uncircumcision of your flesh, hath he quickened together with him, having forgiven you all trespasses; 14 Blotting out the handwriting of ordinances that was against us, which was contrary to us, and took it out of the way, nailing it to his cross; (Colossians 2:13-14)

Justification – No longer stand condemned and in danger of the judgement.

• 24 Being justified freely by his grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus: 25 Whom God hath set forth to be a propitiation through faith in his blood, to declare his righteousness for the remission of sins that are past, through the forbearance of God; (Romans 3:24-25)

Eternal Life – No longer live in fear of death.  Death no longer has dominion over us..

• 11 And this is the record, that God hath given to us eternal life, and this life is in his Son. 12 He that hath the Son hath life; and he that hath not the Son of God hath not life. 13 These things have I written unto you that believe on the name of the Son of God; that ye may know that ye have eternal life, and that ye may believe on the name of the Son of God. (1 John 5:11-13)
• But now being made free from sin, and become servants to God, ye have your fruit unto holiness, and the end everlasting life.23 For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord. (Romans 6:22-23)

In this episode, we discuss the importance of being justified by God. By Him  we obtain a complete justification, for by him a complete atonement was made for sin. We are justified, not only by him as our judge, but by Him as our righteousness.  Our faith leads us to obey His word that leads to justification. We fall short when we try to justify ourselves by trying to do things our way.

In this episode, we cover the power of having a heart posture of modesty, or humility. It's not about the flex!

• Poverty does not equal modesty or humility.
• We can be driven to poverty because of the lack of modesty.

A few scriptures to share:

1. Gal. 6:3- For if a man think himself to be something, when he is nothing, he deceiveth himself.
2. Prov. 16:18- Pride goeth before destruction, and an haughty spirit before a fall.
3. James 4:6- Wherefore he saith, God resisteth the proud, but giveth grace unto the humble.
4. Matt. 23:12- And whosoever shall exalt himself shall be abased; and he that shall humble himself shall be exalted.

Jesus is our perfect example of humility:  Matt. 11:28-30, Phil. 2:8

• He was free from all worldly pride.
• of appearance, He had no form of comeliness.
• of success, He was despised and rejected of men.
• of reputation, He was called a Nazarene.
• of riches, He had no place to lay his head.
• of rank, He was a carpenter's son.
• of kinship, He washed the disciple's feet.

Submission is a concept that seems to go against the grain of human nature, and yet we all see the need for it in certain aspects of life. Without submission, things quickly fall into chaos as everyone strives to be in charge. Even though it is sometimes mocked as a sign of weakness, submission is really one of the strongest pillars of a stable society.

Scriptures:

1. James 4:7
2. I Peter 5:5
3. Matthew 26:39
4. Eph. 5:21-22
5. I Peter 2:13-14

Once we have submitted to God, our highest Authority, recognizing and following the chain of human authority in this world becomes easier.
