The tongue can only be tamed with God’s help. It can’t be changed by human power alone. Matthew 12:33-37 Either make the tree good, and his fruit good; or else make the tree corrupt, and his fruit corrupt: for the tree is known by his fruit. O generation of vipers, how can ye, being evil, […]
Faith alone without works is dead. When we’re saved there’s a change in us. James 2:17 Even so faith, if it hath not works, is dead, being alone. We’re a new creature when we’re saved. If we think of a boat, one oar is faith and the other is our works. We would only go […]
Slothful (meaning in the Greek translation): no care, seeking to know nothing, finding purpose in knowing nothing. We’re living in a world where people don’t care what the Word of God says.

Submitting is a choice. We submit when we place our whole self under the authority and control of God. James 4:7 Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you. On the road to Damascus, Paul said “what wilt thou have me to do” and Jesus said to go to […]

How are your ears connected to your heart? If we don’t have our ears connected to God through our heart, we won’t hear him when he talks to us. Proverbs 15:31-33 The ear that heareth the reproof of life abideth among the wise. He that refuseth instruction despiseth his own soul: but he that heareth […]
Love is unselfish and willing to lay down our life for the brethren. The brethren are those who God added to the body of Christ because they surrendered their will to him. He won’t put us in the body if our will isn’t surrendered. I John 3:16 Hereby perceive we the love of God, because […]
The love of God is not an emotional love, but it is love through the Holy Ghost. Just because the love of God is in us doesn’t mean we’re going to act out that love. We have to learn some of the attributes of love so we can put them in action. We don’t have […]
Pride goeth before destruction, and an haughty spirit before a fall. Better it is to be of an humble spirit with the lowly, than to divide the spoil with the proud. Proverbs 16:18-19
