Proverbs 16:23-33
Look for instruction during Bible Study. Make a commitment based on each verse.
It’s not about how we are, but about what we will be for Christ.
Determine to make your words spiritually helpful to somebody.
Proverbs 15:28
Don’t justify what you say because you are mad. Sometimes it’s better to be quiet.
Think about what you are doing and saying. Make sure the Lord is pleased with your speech.
(back to Proverbs 16)
There are ways (decisions you make) that will take you away from God.
Step-by-step you can walk away from the Lord.
James 4:13-17
All plans aren’t cool with God. Make sure your purpose is Christ.
Think about tomorrow, and your future, in terms of what will please the Lord.
Matthew 7:21-29
Not just that you say ‘Christian’, but that you live as a Christian.
Don’t be confused or lazy. Use the brain God gave to accomplish works that please Him (His will).
Hear the Word of God and do something with it. Make a commitment.
Matthew 25:31-46
Keep your spiritual eyes open. See the opportunities to be a servant of Christ.
The difference will be life eternal or punishment without end.
