Behaving according to how the world sees fit does not lead to good outcomes (like sin), but behaving according to how God wants us to, it does lead to good outcomes (like helping others, charity) which are proof of how good our God and His ways are!!!!! We should try to have a mindset focused on God, not the world!!!

My favorite part about the Sphinx riddles is that you can literally just do things the hard way and you're still rewarded equally. Like yeah, work smarter not harder, but if I don't have a wealth of ferrystones to burn or I just like getting 10 minutes of supervised combat with an undying cat toy, I can literally just do things the hard way because I want to, and you're still technically within the bounds of the riddle's answer.
Carrying the most fragile pot in the world across Battahl of all places actually DOES show fortitude. Putting a guy down even with a stat debuff still shows a strong mind. Patience, persistence, fortitude, strategy are all indicative of a strong mind and spirit. You don't HAVE to think outside the box. Maybe the Sphinx likes having a little house guest that does exactly what they're told.

This life is not about us, it's about God. #itsnotaboutus One of the biggest lies out there is "do what makes you happy." This life is not about us being happy, it's about bringing God glory. Find a way to be a selfless servant. #godsplannotmine It's not about us. From Genesis to Revelation, it's always been about Jesus. #trustgodsplan The purpose of your time here on earth is not primarily about acquiring possessions, attaining status, achieving success, or experiencing happiness. Those are secondary/issues. Life is all about love with God and with other people. You may succeed in many areas, but if you fail to learn how to love God and love others, you'd have missed the reason why God created you. #godsplans This life is not about me. It's about joining hands with Jesus to fulfill whatever tasks He sets before me and to share His love with all He brings my way. #godspurpose When you realize God's purpose for your life isn't just about you, He will use you in a mighty way. #godsplan God does not exist to make a big deal of us. We exist to make a big deal out of Him. It's not about you. It's not about me. It's all about Him. #lifeisbiggerthanyou 🔥Subscribe to my YouTube channel and podcast,👉🏾"Uplift Past Crossroads"👈🏾🔥 Befriend me on Facebook/LinkedIn = Sean Christopher Jenkins 🔥Follow👉🏾@troubledontlast 👈🏾IG/Twitter/Snap/TikTok for more🔥 Turn on Post Notification - Like - Comment - Share - Save ➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖ . .

“Counseling through the Word” Devotional: Resolving Disputes God's Way
Tumblr media
“Counseling through the Word” Devotional: Resolving Disputes God’s Way
In today's devotional, we delve into 1 Corinthians 6:1–11 and explore how believers are called to resolve disputes God's way. Paul challenges us to prioritize unity and reconciliation over personal rights and justice. Join us as we learn how to handle conflicts within the church, reflecting the grace and forgiveness we have received in Christ.
Scripture: 1 Corinthians 6:1–11
“When one of you has a grievance against another, does he dare go to law before the unrighteous instead of the saints? Or do you not know that the saints will judge the world? And if the world is to be judged by you, are you incompetent to try trivial cases? Do you not know that we are to judge angels? How much more, then, matters pertaining to this life! So if you have such cases, why do you lay them before those who have no standing in the church? I say this to your shame. Can it be that there is no one among you wise enough to settle a dispute between the brothers, but brother goes to law against brother, and that before unbelievers? To have lawsuits at all with one another is already a defeat for you. Why not rather suffer wrong? Why not rather be defrauded? But you yourselves wrong and defraud—even your own brothers! Or do you not know that the unrighteous will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived: neither the sexually immoral, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor men who practice homosexuality, nor thieves, nor the greedy, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor swindlers will inherit the kingdom of God. And such were some of you. But you were washed, you were sanctified, you were justified in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ and by the Spirit of our God.”
Devotional Thought
In the body of Christ, how we handle disputes speaks volumes about our faith and witness to the world. Paul, in addressing the Corinthian church, was deeply concerned about believers taking their grievances to secular courts rather than resolving them within the church. He saw this as a failure of the church to live out its calling and a potential stumbling block to the testimony of the Gospel. Know who you are and your future Paul reminds the Corinthians of their identity and future role in God’s kingdom. As believers, we will one day judge the world and even angels. Given this lofty calling, we should be more than capable of resolving disputes among ourselves. Bringing our disagreements before unbelievers, Paul argues, is a shameful act that undermines our witness and brings disgrace upon the church. Prioritize unity and peace This passage challenges us to prioritize unity and peace within the body of Christ. Instead of insisting on our rights or pursuing justice through worldly means, Paul encourages us to be willing to suffer wrong rather than harm our brothers and sisters in Christ. This is a radical call to humility and self-sacrifice, rooted in the example of Christ Himself. The key to resolving disputes God’s way is to approach them with a heart of love, seeking reconciliation rather than victory. When we focus on restoring relationships rather than winning arguments, we reflect the grace and forgiveness that Christ has shown us. This doesn’t mean that sin and wrongdoing should be ignored or excused, but rather that our approach to conflict should be marked by a desire to restore and heal. You have been washed, sanctified, and justified Paul also warns against the dangers of behaving like the unrighteous, who will not inherit the kingdom of God. The behaviors he lists are not just sinful; they are indicative of a life that is out of step with the Spirit. As those who have been washed, sanctified, and justified in Christ, our lives should be marked by a distinct difference from the world, including how we handle disputes. As believers, we have been given the tools—God’s Word, the Holy Spirit, and the community of faith—to resolve conflicts in a way that honors God. By doing so, we not only preserve the unity of the church but also bear witness to the transforming power of the Gospel.
Bringing it Home: Applying What We Learned
- Reflect on how you approach disputes and conflicts. Are you more focused on being right or on being reconciled? - Consider the ways in which you can seek to resolve conflicts within the body of Christ, using the resources God has provided. - Pray for the humility and grace to be willing to suffer wrong rather than harm the unity of the church.
Prayer
Lord, help me to approach conflicts with a heart of humility and a desire for reconciliation. Give me the wisdom to resolve disputes in a way that honors You and preserves the unity of Your church. May my actions reflect the grace and forgiveness that I have received in Christ. In Jesus' name, Amen.
Questions for Reflection
- How do I typically handle conflicts within the church? - Am I more concerned with winning an argument or restoring a relationship? - What steps can I take to ensure that my approach to disputes reflects the grace and forgiveness of Christ?

On today’s episode of 4Inspirational Minutes 4anewday in your life I delve into the road our choices lead us to. Our choices shape our path toward or away from God in life. Despite the costs of straying, God's love and mercy offer hope for better days and a chance for change and renewal. By letting go of past burdens and aligning our hearts, minds, bodies, resources, and futures with God's will, we can walk the path of faith. God patiently awaits those who humbly seek Him, offering endless mercy and love. It's never too late to turn back to Him with a repentant heart, as His faithfulness and love are steadfast. Lamentations 3:21-23 reminds us of God's unfailing love and endless mercies, bringing hope for a brighter tomorrow.

#DailyDevotion Good Stuff In, Good Fruit Out. Trash In, Trash Out
Tumblr media
#DailyDevotion Good Stuff In, Good Fruit Out. Trash In, Trash Out Psalm 101 I will sing of kindness and justice and make music to You, O LORD. Kindness here is chesed in Hebrew. It is often translated steadfast love. It is a covenantal love based on God's promise. Mispat is the Hebrew for justice. It is of these two things the psalmist will sing and make music to the LORD. These two things establish the covenant, the relationship between the LORD and His people. It is an amazing grace the LORD called people from out of the world to establish a covenant with them and reveal His name, His character and His ways. For us it is also an amazing grace the LORD Jesus Christ revealed Himself to us and the Father's heart. 2I want to understand the perfect way. O when will You come to me? Those who trust the LORD and love Him will desire to know the LORD and His ways. If you love someone you want to know all about them. You want to do things that please the people who we love. The psalmist desires the LORD would come to Him. He is looking to be in the presence of the LORD through the priest of the prophets who bring God's word to him. Do we desire for the LORD to come to us in word and sacrament? I will live with a pure heart in my own home. 3I will not put anything wicked before my eyes. I hate what the unfaithful do; I want no part of it. 4I will stay away from crooked thoughts. I will not be friendly with evil. 5I'll silence anyone who secretly slanders his neighbor; I won't put up with anyone who looks proud and is conceited. So there are positive statements and negative things here. So he resolves himself to live with a pure heart in his home. That is a positive thing. Would that we would commit ourselves to live a pure heart at home and elsewhere. Then he proceeds to describe living a pure life in a negative way. He doesn't let wickedness come before his eyes, or let crooked thoughts remain with him. He refuses to be friendly with evil. He corrects those who break the eighth commandment. He doesn't put up with the proud and conceited. We should follow suit. We should commit ourselves to avoiding evil and wickedness in our lives. As the old saying says, “Trash in, trash come out. Good stuff in, good fruit.” If you wonder why you have continual problems falling into evil ways, ask yourself, “Am I avoiding evil and wickedness in my daily life?” Do you call evil evil? Do you let people know, especially fellow Christians, who are engaging in wickedness to stop? Put evil and wickedness out of your life and fill it with the ways of the LORD, with His word and practice it. 6I look for the faithful people in the land, so they may live with me. When anyone lives a pure life, he may serve me; 7but no one who does deceitful things shall live in my home; no one who tells lies can stay with me. 8Every morning I'll destroy all the wicked in the land, to purge the LORD's city of all who do wrong. Bad company corrupts good character. Good character builds us up. So the psalmist devotes himself to hang with faithful people, who live pure lives. He gets rid of people in his life who are deceitful. Of course on the Last Day, our King, our LORD Jesus Christ will rid the world of all wickedness and evil. We should practice that in our lives. Not that we should not call people to repent and accept them when they do. Most especially should we avoid those who call themselves Christians who live unrepentant lives, lest they deceive us to follow in their ways. Heavenly Father, grant us hearts that desire only to live in Your life and ways and purge our lives of things that are contrary to Your will. In Jesus' name we pray. Amen. Read the full article

“Be careful to do as the Lord your God has commanded you; you are not to turn aside to the right or the left. Follow the whole instruction the Lord your God has commanded you Deuteronomy 5:32���-‬33 ,, God's commands are not suggestions, not optional. Remember, partial obedience is disobedience

The Way Back to God
It’s common in today’s culture for people to believe that all roads lead to God. Many believe that all different sorts of religions and belief systems will ultimately lead us to God.
While this sort of belief is widely accepted, it does not agree with what Jesus says in John 14:6. Jesus says that He is the only way to God. No one can come to the Father unless they come through Jesus.
Jesus also says that He is the Truth, which means that all other truths must be measured against Him. He is objective truth. In other words: Jesus is the standard by which we can judge the rest of the world’s truth claims.
Lastly, Jesus says He is the Life. This means that it’s only through Jesus that we find true and eternal life. True life comes from following Jesus’ words and His path for our life.
A true and meaningful life begins with knowing Jesus. He alone has access to the good life that God intended us to live, as well as everlasting life with Him in heaven.
Spend a moment thanking Jesus for revealing the true path to life and salvation, and for making it possible to have a relationship with Him. Continue to learn from Jesus through His Word, and share the hope of Jesus with others in your life.

#Reposted from @craftygurltoo WHO DO YOU TRULY SERVE AND FOLLOW!? Do you believe you can worship God in anyway you want regardless if it is against what God commanded and how Jesus lived himself??? If so, bare in mind this scripture: Matthew 7:22-23~22 Many will say to me on that day, 'Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in your name and in your name drive out demons and in your name perform many miracles?' 23 Then I will tell them plainly, 'I never knew you. Away from me, you evildoers!' #paganrituals #whomdoyouserve #pagantraditions #getoutofhermypeople #Jesus #Jesussaves #Jesusisthewaythetruthandthelife #Godsway #yourwaysarenotmyways #Yeshua #Jesusisking #followtheChrist #comeandsee #chosen #lent #ashwednesday #pagan https://www.instagram.com/p/CpBMqt2uEaU/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
