Writing in the sand

Episode 418

Angus Buchan

Sometimes we feel aggrieved and want to take revenge but the bible teaches us to turn the other cheek and forgive. It’s difficult because our natural man wants to retaliate when we get angry. When we give our lives to the Lord, His Holy Spirit lives within us and therefore we should be swift to hear and slow to speak. Angry words can cause more damage than a beating so always try to live in peace with those around you.

Empty promises

Hebrews 10:23

A promise is an assurance that one will do something. Hebrews 10:23. The Lord never ever breaks His promise. We as Christians should keep our promises no matter what. We need to be people of integrity and honesty. As Christians, we must keep our word. That is why we need to be careful what we say and think before we speak. God will hold us to our promises.

The Great Commission

Mark 16:15, Colossians 1:27, Matthew 25:40

Jesus gave us The Great Commission to go into all the world and preach the Gospel. Mark 16:15. Maybe you feel like you can't do it but yes you can. Colossians 1:27. It's not about you, it's about Christ in you. Start at home, in your own school or workplace. Matthew 25:40. Whatever you do, do it unto the Lord, you just need to start somewhere, just start small.

Totally dependant

Matthew 5:3, John 3:16, John 14:6

Who or what are you depending on today? Matthew 5:3. We cannot depend on anyone else or anything other than God Himself. If we are depending on anyone else then we are putting more pressure on that person than they can handle. We shouldn't be dependant on ourselves either. We need to be emptied of ourselves. John 3:16. We can do absolutely nothing without God. John 14:6.
