Galatians 5:19-26
Make sure you will “fit” into the Kingdom of Heaven.
Live a lifestyle that is acceptable by God.
Long conversations may not be what is needed. Change is required.
Acts 13:1-3
Religion and Relationship.
Some people may say they do not want religon, but a relationship with Christ…
The Lord desires for us to be religious, too. Visiting, praying, worshipping…and sometimes fasting.
Ezra 8:21-23
Seeking God sometimes requires fasting.
When you get anxious about a situation don’t indulge yourself – seek God more.
Nehemiah 8:1-18 | Nehemiah 9:1-3
Get rid of anything in you that doesn’t want to treat God like God.
Reading the Bible, praying, and being religious should be special to you.
Joel 2:1-32
Repent before God does something about it.
Make sure your heart is right before the Lord.
If it isn’t…change – God is merciful.
Matthew 6:3-21
Do good for the Lord, but don’t brag or announce it everyone.
God rewards openly for the good you do in private.
