                                    OUR LIVNG IS ….
                                    by Robert Schaetzle

I have realized more and more over my years walking by faith, what my living is not. My living in Christ through faith, is not for the welfare of my flesh, but the sanctification of my soul. Letting go my self-credentials, enables me to understand the meaning of being crucified with Christ. The life I now live by faith, is to seek and discover, His purpose, not my agenda. His agenda is not always ours!

                                          Be Watchful

Luke gives us the admonition our worth is from God, who gives true life.
 Then he said to them, “Watch out! Be on your guard against all kinds of greed; life does not consist in an abundance of possessions.” Luke 12:15 NIV

The ‘power of darkness’ of this world around us will do anything possible to get us to stumble. The ‘abundant life’ our Lord speaks about from John 10:10, is to recognize the fulness of His resources. Not manipulating our way to gain His inheritance.   

                                         Two kinds of wisdom

 If any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask God, who gives to all men generously and without reproaching, and it will be given him. James 1:5

But if you harbor bitter envy and selfish ambition in your hearts, do not boast about it or deny the truth. Such “wisdom” does not come down from heaven but is earthly, unspiritual, demonic.
James 1:14-15RSV 

Our society is filled too much with disorder and anger. To be filled with grace and peace in abundance, this must come through the knowledge of God, not human reasoning, regardless of the concern.

The Bible was not given for our information but for our transformation.
D. L. Moody
