The Spirit on the Spirit

When the Holy Spirit teaches us about the Holy Spirit He opens the written word of God to us as the absolute authority as to what is the Holy Spirit and what is not.

Lazy servants

Jesus taught both Sonship and Servanthood.

 

That is, Servanthood as the outcome of Sonship.

 

Many Christians would qualify as the “lazy servants” Jesus spoke of, because they only serve themselves.

 

If you are a son of God then you should be serving Him.

 

You will live for Him, not for yourself.

Not a game

Life and death is not a game, so we preach Jesus Christ.

Conceptually

News flash!

 

Preacher quotes what Jesus said and instantly becomes a hit!

 

😀

Uncivilized

Civilization is not very civilized.

Uncivilized civilization.

Only love

Only love can defeat hate.

Pre-existence of Christ

“And now, O Father, glorify Me together with Yourself, with the glory which I had with You before the world was.”

 

John 17:5

 

Christ’s pre-existence.

 

His pre-incarnate state was one of sharing the glory of God the Father.

 

The Father shared His glory WITH His Son from eternity past, hence proving the deity of Christ and His pre-existence.

Judging God

How you judge God’s word is how you judge God.

Violent judgment

Violent religions or ideologies hold the world hostage by their pernicious, ever present threat of violence.

 

The Bible says that ultimately God will meet this violence with His own violence.

 

Jesus is going to slaughter them.

 

Then His never ending Kingdom will be established.

Never ending

One life is not long enough so Jesus promised never ending life.

Sorry

Self glorification means no glorification.

The triumph we need

If we drift into a mean, judgmental attitude, then it’s time for mercy and love to triumph over judgment.

Anti-Jew

You can’t hate the Jews and at the same time love the King of the Jews, who is a Jew.

 

The anti-semite is anti-christ in nature.

Only two states

Condemnation or Justification.

 

Only two states of being.

 

God is responsible for both.

 

You’re either condemned or you’re justified.

 

Which one are you?

 

Justification only through Jesus Christ.

Be a blessing

“Now beyond all contradiction the lesser is blessed by the better.”

 

Hebrews 7:7

 

Strength is for the purpose of being a blessing.

Life is cheaper in some places

11 Christians beheaded by Jihardis.

 

Had they been American then the world would cry out.

By yourself?

Christian, look back on your life in Christ and tell me, which things were you able to do without the Holy Spirit?

Mercy

Want to be disrespected?

Boasting always works the opposite of what you wanted it to do. It’s the fastest way to earn disrespect.

Scrolling

With phone usage, the issue is not how much you use it, but what you use it for.
