Her: "I don't need to anticipate every scenario."
Me: "I don't want to be caught completely unprepared."
Both: "And ultimately, the LORD is sovereign over all! Ang kalooban Niya ang masunod."
This I say then, WALK IN THE SPIRIT,
and ye shall not fulfil the lust of the flesh."
"For the flesh lusteth against the Spirit,
and the Spirit against the flesh:
and these are contrary the one to the other:
so that ye cannot do the things that ye would."
"But if ye be LED of the Spirit,
ye are NOT UNDER the LAW."
(To be not under the law,
means you are living within the law)
"Now the works of the flesh are manifest,
which are these;
Adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lasciviousness,"
"Idolatry, witchcraft, hatred, variance, emulations, wrath, strife, seditions, heresies,"
"Envyings, murders, drunkenness, revellings,
and such like: of the which I tell you before,
as I have also told you in time past,
that they which do such things
shall not inherit the kingdom of God."
"But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith,"
"Meekness, temperance:
against such there is NO LAW."
"And they that are Christ's
have crucified the flesh with the affections and lusts."
"If we live in the Spirit,
let us also WALK IN THE SPIRIT"
Gal.5:16-25
@farmingandJesus Jack, we are all learning. The man that thinks he knows everything, knows nothing at all. Keep your mind open and your heart soft. As you accept new truth, God will show you more truth. Refuse it, and we stumble in darkness.
here's our little annecy opening/graduation project !! directed by Catherine GUO, Xinzi LI, Alfie MARSHALL, Wuhen XIAO and me ! we had a ton of fun creating it
We are a Peculiar People.
1 Peter 2:9
“But ye are a chosen generation,
a royal priesthood,
an holy nation,
a peculiar people;
that ye should shew forth the praises of him who hath called you out of darkness into his marvellous light:”
"Let us hear the conclusion of the whole matter:
Fear God, and keep his commandments:
for this is the whole duty of man."
"For God shall bring every work into judgment,
with every secret thing,
whether it be good, or whether it be evil."
Ecclesiastes 12:13-14
Jn 3:5-10 Jesus answered, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born of water and of the Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God. That which is born of the flesh is flesh; and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit. Marvel not that I said unto thee, Ye must be born again. The wind bloweth where it listeth, and thou hearest the sound thereof, but canst not tell whence it cometh, and whither it goeth: so is every one that is born of the Spirit. Nicodemus answered and said unto him, How can these things be? Jesus answered and said unto him, Art thou a master of Israel, and knowest not these things?
Ezk 36:21-38 But I had pity for mine holy name, which the house of Israel had profaned among the heathen, whither they went. Therefore say unto the house of Israel, Thus saith the Lord GOD; I do not this for your sakes, O house of Israel, but for mine holy name's sake, which ye have profaned among the heathen, whither ye went. And I will sanctify my great name, which was profaned among the heathen, which ye have profaned in the midst of them; and the heathen shall know that I am the LORD, saith the Lord GOD, when I shall be sanctified in you before their eyes. For I will take you from among the heathen, and gather you out of all countries, and will bring you into your own land.
Then will I sprinkle clean water upon you, and ye shall be clean: from all your filthiness, and from all your idols, will I cleanse you. A new heart also will I give you, and a new spirit will I put within you: and I will take away the stony heart out of your flesh, and I will give you an heart of flesh. And I will put my spirit within you, and cause you to walk in my statutes, and ye shall keep my judgments, and do them. And ye shall dwell in the land that I gave to your fathers; and ye shall be my people, and I will be your God.
What should be our reason for serving Jesus?
LOVE.
No one will be in heaven because they're afraid of hell. People will be in heaven because they love Jesus first, last, and always. And those who love Jesus will have no need to fear hell. 1 John 4:18
