Dirt is usually something unclean, especially when it’s in contact with a person's clothes, skin, or possessions and almost nobody wants to be seen with dirt on their cloths, or you run the risk of being called dirty. Now consider this: when we are covered with sin, we are dirty. Even if we don’t want to admit it. So what do we do about this? After all it’s Lent, a time of reflection and repentance, right?

It's Paul who reminds us that while we may feel we're at the end of our rope, we are really never at the end of our hope. After all, our perishable bodies are subject to sin and suffering, but God never abandons us. In this letter Paul condemned those who twist God’s Word, be they preachers, teachers, and anyone else who talks about Jesus Christ. If the Good News we preach is hidden behind a veil, it is hidden only from people who don’t want to believe. We need to remember that all of us ultimately stand in God’s presence, and He hears every word we speak. Paul was concerned about those who change the Gospel to suit their audience.

Remember, Saul had that conversion experience on the road to Damascus? He actually saw, talked and was in the presence of the resurrected Christ, who declared him to be an apostle. Shortly after Saul traveled back to Jerusalem and changed his name to Paul, but the first thing he did was tell his story, we would say give his testimony. He didn't wait until he was fully educated with a diploma in hand to start his ministry. He started then and there. I wonder how we react when we receive God's call?

Paul agreed that food offered to idols was not contaminated, but he wanted to be sure that the “knowledgeable Christians” would not flaunt their enlightened point of view. Let me put it this way: “Knowledge puffs up, but love edifies.”

Paul recognised this as a crisis in the church and highlights that charity for one another is the way great and powerful congregations are built. It is also the way we as individuals become more than private disciples because this doesn’t happen in conflict, nor in challenging others, nor in ministering mostly to ourselves. Christianity is not expressed in isolation; it is meant to be with others.

Don’t love the things of the world - 1 Corinthians 7:29-31

Have you ever looked back at our life and realized that it is only by the grace of God that you have lived this long? So many things could have happened. Admittedly we don’t always listen to God or a wise counsel, do we? So often we could have saved ourselves a lot of grief and pain had we just listened to those who tried to instruct us.

Where is your Temple? - 1 Corinthians 6:12-20

The idea of complete freedom and being allowed to do anything has been debated by philosophers, political scientists, and sociologists for centuries. But if you think about it, if you were allowed to do anything, then you’ve given up all freedom, because you’re really enslaved to your own desires. When we become Christians, the Holy spirit comes to live in us. The freedom we have is the freedom God gives us to live for Him.

Lean on Jesus - Several Scriptures

Mary and Joseph, their relationship was less than ideal. There were complications, there was doubt, there were trust issues, and instability, not to mention the sacrifice implied in raising a child, not their own. But they determined to make it work. It was their destiny to raise the Son of God. Together.

Lean on Me with Love - Psalm 89:1-4,19-26

When we feel That God has forsaken us, we really must ask ourselves if it isn’t we that have forsaken or forgotten God. We should never doubt, that God will fulfill his promises. He will even do the impossible to make them come true, and our reaction should always be to trust and lean on Him with love. Have a wonderful Christmas!

Lean on Me with Joy - 1 Thessalonians 5:12-28

I ran across this quote by a movie star: “It’s a sign of mediocrity when you demonstrate gratitude with moderation.”. I think he's actually right. After all God tells us to “16 Always be joyful”. I think that goes particularly for this time of year, during the weeks that lead up to the day when we remember the birth of Jesus Christ, our Saviour. Let's lean on Him for joy.

Lean on Me in Peace - Mark 1:1-13

The second Sunday of advent sees the candle of peace lit. But, can you have peace and rest? When you are looking where to lean, first you check the place, make sure it’s clean, no dirt, and you want to be sure there’s no bugs, or spiders around that might bite you, right? But this might mean looking inside yourself too. How clean are you? This might mean, don't lean on yourself, but rather lean on God!
