A World of Debt



 Romans 13:7-8 tells us "Give everyone what you owe him: If you owe taxes, pay taxes; if revenue, then revenue; if respect, then respect; if honor, then honor.Let no debt remain outstanding, except the continuing debt to love one another, for he who loves his fellowman has fulfilled the law" 

Debt is not just financial. A debt can be a commitment you've made to someone, an obligation, a pledge, respect, or honor. We usually look at debt as something we wish to be rid of but don't forget there is also a debt we can never repay, the debt of loving one another. So ask the Lord to show you areas concerning debt you may have never thought about or overlooked in the past.

Yes, You Can.

He has made us competent as ministers of a new covenant...

~ 2 Corinthians 3:6 ~

I can't share the Bible with people. Yes, you can. I can't tell people about Jesus. Yes, you can. I can't hand out tracts, tell people God loves them, or share my story. Yes, you can! You can because God has made you able, skilled, and qualified to do the job.

The new covenant is the promise of salvation we have through Jesus Christ and God has given YOU everything you need to be a qualified minister of that covenent. So go share the good news. God will give you exactly the right words to say to exactly the right person.

Prayer, Hope, & Faith

Devote yourselves to prayer with an alert mind and a thankful heart. ~ Colossians 4:2 ~

Never give up hope. Devote yourself to prayer, in other words pray all the time. Pray with an alert mind too, meaning don't just recite mindless repetitious prayers, but pray intentionally with specific prayers, pray as if your having a conversation with God because youa are, tell Him everything, then always have a thankful heart, even in the middle of life's storms, thank God for being there with you, thank God for being in control of it all, and thank God that He will take you through this, just like He has taken you through all of life's struggles. With God all things are possible, take heart and trust God, He will give you hope.

Amore'

But if anyone obeys his word, God's love is truly made complete in him. This is how we know we are in him ~ 1 John 2:5 ~

What is love? It is a humbling of oneself, it is sacrificing your own desires for that of another. Love is not a funny feeling, or sex, love is sacrifice, a servants heart, love is doing all you can to provide for another, with a desire to meet there needs above your own, love is dying to self and living for another. When you obey God's Word, this kind of love is made complete in you. This is how you know Jesus is in you, because this is the kind of love Jesus has for you, He became a servant and died for you.

Light and Truth

But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus, his Son, purifies us from all sin.~ 1 John 1:7 ~

The Bible says that we cannot have fellowship with God if we do not walk in the light. If we walk in the light, we certainly can't hide anything, for the light exposes everything. The man who walks in darkness is the one who has something to hide in his life. If we walk in the light, our life is an open book. We can then invite people to examine our private life, our account books and everything. There is nothing we want to hide. It doesn't mean that we're perfect. No, it only means that we are honest.
