You want to be directed in God. Want to follow-through and try to be better. Are you really trying to aim for something in God? You got to stay on task and target. There is worldy sorrow and godly sorrow. There is wordly anger and godly anger. Godly HATE (Honest Anger Toward Evil). God is a jealous god. He begins to compare your time with other stuff that you do. God said that he is a great God and a great King!
Matthew 10:5-35 Paul was going through some of these things that were mentioned in this chapter. v. 19 Don’t worry about trying to script what you are going to say. v. 22 Some can’t take not being the most popular. Some people can’t take it. v. 28 You need to fear God. v. 33 You can not deny God. Some people are afraid to pray over their own food. You can lose your identity if you are unwilling to stand for Christ. People may like you becuase you are not a real Christian.
Ye are the salt of the earth. You are not supposed to be light of the world.
Luke 9:23-26
What if you gain the whole world and lose your own soul. You can’t be scared to stand up for Christ and to say certain things are not right.
Acts 26:28-32 Paul stood for God in front of King Agrippa.
Acts 27:1-34
They would not listen to Paul. Some people would rather listen to other people than Christians.
v. 21 If they had listen to Paul they would not have been in the mess that they were in. Some times you have to trust God and stay in the ship. God said that he will take care of you. He knows every hair on your head. Does God control everthing in your life?
