I protest by your rejoicing which I have in Christ Jesus our Lord, I die daily. -1 Corinthians 15:31

I recently read of a conversation held between a babe in Christ and a very seasoned saint. 

The seasoned saint said, “I have not sinned in about 35-40 years.” The new saint responded, “How is that possible?” The more experienced saint then used the flaw theology, “Once saved.”

How far off we can be when Jesus is only your savior and not Lord? The belief that sinning is no longer possible after you have made your initial faith confession is foolish and downright dangerous. 

That belief is not just held by babes in Christ but others with long tenure. Thinking that one is perfect belies the process of being in this life...

Christ is coming after a church with no spot or blemish, therefore if you are without sin keep casting stone and your fiery chariot is outside waiting to whisk you away, Elijah is at the wheel. 

Paul the apostle was inspired to warn us in the scripture above, a few seemingly oddly placed words appear. I die daily...Paul is referring to the flesh and further he continued the conversation in Gal 5:17 stating how the flesh continuously lusts for the top spot in your life. 

Jesus said man ought to always pray, if you have already arrived why pray? Beloved strive for holiness and part of that striving is admitting that without Christ we would fail.

And I prayed unto the LORD my God, and made my confession, and said, O Lord, the great and dreadful God, keeping the covenant and mercy to them that love him, and to them that keep his commandments;   We have sinned, and have committed iniquity, and have done wickedly, and have rebelled, even by departing from thy precepts and from thy judgments:                   -Daniel 9:4-5 Good morning and TGIF!    Daniel the prophet offers a vital lesson on humility in these scriptures. He draws a parallel between David’s prayer (Ps 51), where David acknowledges not only his own sins but also the sins of those who came before him. Many people either deny being affected by their ancestors' sins or are quick to highlight the faults of others while conveniently overlooking their own.  In verse 4, Daniel first confesses his own sins, whether they were committed intentionally or unintentionally. Then in verse 5, he acknowledges the s...

  And the king said unto Araunah, Nay; but I will surely buy it of thee at a price: neither will I offer burnt offerings unto the LORD my God of that which doth cost me nothing. So David bought the threshingfloor and the oxen for fifty shekels of silver. -2 Samuel 24:24 Good morning and terrific Thursday to you!  The passage referenced tells the story of David trying to halt a plague in Israel—a plague that had come as a result of his own disobedience. To stop it, an act of obedience was required. Following the instructions given through the prophet, David sought a place to offer a sacrifice. He arrived at the threshing floor of Araunah, where the angel had ceased his destruction, intending to build an altar there. Araunah, upon learning of the king’s purpose, generously offered the space and everything needed for the sacrifice at no cost.  However, David declined the offer, as he understood a profound truth that many overlook: the principle of sacrifice is that it must c...

  For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved. -John 3:17 Good morning and happy Monday to you!  The Lord Jesus came to this world not to condemn us, but to show us what true righteousness is. His mission had multiple purposes, and I will highlight two of them. First, we needed an example of righteousness—someone conceived without sin and who lived a sinless life. Next, because of His immaculate conception and sinless existence, He was qualified to be sacrificed. This requirement was too great for sinful man to fulfill. The grace it took for Him to come into this world and to die for it is truly amazing. #prayforthepeaceofIsrael God bless you and command your day!!! Your comments and questions are welcome.
