Psalm 119:63
One barometer, or signal, that you are in Christ is who your friends are.
What you like says much about who you love.
Who are your companions?
Christianity is not a journey you take alone. Believers flock to other believers.
Who are your true friends?
Proverbs 11:1-31
Don’t cheat. Be careful not to deceieve. God does not reward liars in a good way.
H.A.T.E. – Honest Anger Toward Evil
Some people don’t care if you cheat God – just don’t cheat them.
How much of the way the Lord feels impacts how you feel?
Be careful not to put “you” to high. Exalt the Lord above all else.
Are you comfortable with how ‘upright’ you are in God?
Being right in the Lord enables you to make good, sound, Godly decisions.
You have to evaluate your desires to see if they are right in the Lord.
Being a Christian doesn’t mean doing what you want all the time.
“The righteousness of the perfect shall direct his way…”
Be guided by higher principles in God.
Don’t let unrighteousness throw you off…
Let Jesus make you whole so you can be all He wants you to be.
