“Talking The Talk or Walking the Walk?”
II Corinthians 3:2; I John 2:5,6

Why should it be in our hearts to be able to be like Christ? To walk, talk and think like Him. Jesus says, He wants us to be conformed to His image. Why should we want that more than anything else? It is for our own welfare and spiritual state of soul. Remember, that God said He would be with us, to guide us in paths of righteousness. Why should we complain if He has delivered us from the sickness of sin and replaced it with grace to grow and produce? If we model after anything, it should be Jesus; If we have any hero’s they should be Jesus; And any copying done, should be done after Jesus. Are you wearing the image of Jesus on your heart?

I am happier now, than I’ve ever been, walking more in the footsteps of Jesus. I’m one of the Sons of God, stepping in His footprints doesn’t take as much stretch as it used too. We also should walk like Jesus for the sake of faith, all of our expectations should be to be like Him. Many have belittled this by hypocritical endeavour, remember it was in the house of His friends that Jesus was wounded. Let this be a reminder, it’s not the waves on the outside of the boat that will sink you, It’s the little drips on the inside that will swamp the vessel. All of the weapons of the world, and the devil, holds no light to the kiss of a Judas. False teaching will cause more damage than an outspoken critic or an unbeliever any day.

For the sake of Christ Himself, we should desire to be like Him, to imitate Him in all things. Do you love your Saviour and men alike? Does the mention of His name bring gladness and peace to your heart? Can you see yourself standing with Him over the kingdom of this world? Is it your heart's desire to be glorified as He is, and see precious souls saved? Then let others see Him in you.

“Live It”

The very best way, for others to see their need.

Is the Bible through you, that they might read.

Bible Reading Schedule: I Chronicles 17-20 

Weekly Memory Verses:  Romans 8:14-18  

Romans 8:14  For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God.

15  For ye have not received the spirit of bondage again to fear; but ye have received the Spirit of adoption, whereby we cry, Abba, Father.

16 The Spirit itself beareth witness with our spirit, that we are the children of God:

17 And if children, then heirs; heirs of God, and joint-heirs with Christ; if so be that we suffer with him, that we may be also glorified together.

18 For I reckon that the sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared with the glory which shall be revealed in us.
