Luke 9:57-58, 2 Corinthians 8:9-12. If you want to build a rock solid faith in Jesus, then you must understand what you are getting into. Living the Christian life is not for the faint of heart. It’s hard, it is troublesome. But, you always have your Heavenly Father there to give you strength and help when needed.

Psalm 12:8, 1 Kings 19:9, 18. No doubt about it, the wicked are all around us. So much so that, at times, we may feel all alone, isolated from other Christian’s. We may even feel that we are the only ones left. But we are not, God wants us to stand firm in spite of what is happening around us.

Psalm 12:6-7, Psalm 19:14. We see a big contrast between the words of men and the word of God. We need to make sure that our words are pleasing to God and just as pure as His words are. How is your speech today?

Psalm 12:5. Make no mistake about this one thing. God will stand and protect those who need protecting from their oppressors. You may be getting away with sin right now, but God will arise, and will step in. Here is an interesting stat that I shared in this episode. When a Mom comes to Christ, her family will join her in church 17% of the time. If a Dad comes to Christ, his family joins him at church 93% of the time. God wants His Godly men back.

Psalm 12:3-4, John 15:2, 1 Corinthians 6:19-20. In these verses, we see the judgement of God on those who have fallen away from Him. The tongue boasts a great many things, none of which is true. Confess your sin and get back to things with God.

Psalm 12:1-2. David says the godly men have ceased and the faithful have failed. It seems that he is painting a picture of our world, our society today. We must commit to being the faithful, godly people we need to be, and we need to commit to praying that God will raise up a new generation of godly people, faithful people who will lead this world back to Jesus. Pray, now.

1 Corinthians 16:3. In this verse, Paul is encouraging us to put our faith into practice. There are four things found in this verse that we must do to build a solid faith in Jesus. What are they?

Psalm 39:1, James 3:5-12. Our speech can either build people up, or tear them down. We should use our speech to glorify God, while telling others about all the things God has done for you. What do you use your speech for? To talk about the latest workplace gossip? To tear down someone because you really don’t know who they are? Why not commit to using your speech to bring others to Jesus.

1 Timothy 4:16. Paul teaches us to pay special attention to to what we believe, and what we proclaim to others. Each day we need to make sure our beliefs and our speech line up. Guard what you know and what you believe

1 Peter 5:8-9, Job 1-2.
