In order to maintain unity, we must put on gentleness in every way, especially when unity is at stake. Being gentle paves the way to unity, and is how we live worthy of our calling.

Humility is unnatural. We like to think about ourselves, talk about ourselves, and ensure others know what we know and that we are somebody. But the Apostle Paul says there is something we must “put on” when we accept our call to follow Jesus. It’s a continual attitude of humility. When we “put on” humility, we pave the way for unity.

Is the way you have been living worthy of everything God has given to you through His son Jesus? Satan will do everything in his power to pull you away of the call God has placed on your life. How you respond will dictate how you live.

There are people everywhere who live in fear, including us. But why? And more importantly, how do we overcome fear? We overcome fear with love.

Jesus said, “whoever wants to be my disciple, must deny themselves and take up their cross and follow me. For whoever wants to save their live will lose it, but whoever loses their life for me will find it.” Following Jesus is more than believing in Jesus. Sacrificing our lives for Jesus is how we follow Jesus.

In 1 Timothy 6:17-18, Paul says, “Command those who are rich in this present world not to be arrogant nor put their hope in wealth, which is so uncertain, but to put their hope in God, who richly provides us with everything for our enjoyment. Command them to do good, to be rich in good deeds, and to be generous and willing to share.”

By international standards, if your annual household income is $40k or more, you are in the top 1% of wage earners in the world. That means that most of those that live in the United States are rich! However, according to the writers of Scripture, “being rich” isn’t defined by our level of income.

We can all fall into the same trap along the way, the trap of worry. And usually regarding provision and lack thereof. But if God can provide “then”, he can provide now. And his provision is complete provision. But how do we remember what God has done and how do we trust in his provision for the future?

God can, and does, heal those who are sick and hurting. But although He can heal us, we must never presume that He must. There are times when he chooses to heal and when he doesn’t? Regardless of if he chooses to or not, one truth remains the same. He is more concerned with our soul.

Not everything bad that happens in life is because of the devil, but there are evil forces in this world seeking to destroy you and everything about your life. Yes, there is an enemy. But Jesus already conquered sin and darkness, and through a relationship with him, you have miraculous authority over darkness.

Sex is not just a physical thing. It’s a soul thing. When we take sex outside of God’s design, we damage our soul. If we’re honest with ourselves, none of us would choose that. But let’s get more honest, we naturally want to step outside of God’s design. What’s the issue? The real issue for all of us when it comes to sex is surrender. Surrender what? Everything.
