But it has also proven powerful with all forms of immorality, profanity, abortion, materialism, and false religion.  The masses have been conditioned to accept what is false.) Ephesians 4 and 5 can help: 4:17-22 - Corruption 4:23-31 - Renewal in Christ 5:1-6 - Live in Christ morally 5:7-14 - Be the light that exposes sin 5:15-21 - Use your time well and with God's people.  But we must also put Christ back in Christianity: Desensitization: Stay sensitive about sin Stay sensitive about how Jesus feels about sin Positive Portrayal: Recognize good qualities in sinful people. But keep the focus on submission to Christ, not just on being good. Media: Be at the feet of Jesus and in the place of many other things. Be at work producing for God. Don't just be a consumer. Moral Reframing: What you call or label something is completely irrelevant Avoid cultural categories: evaluate everything biblically  Reframing Opposition: Stay calm when miscategorized (expect it). Center every issue on Jesus Christ.

(Here's Mine) 1. Discipline myself for God's work. 2. Influence my family to love and serve God. 3. Encourage and strengthen fellow believers. 4. Reflect Christ's light into a dark and dying world. 5. Worship God faithfully on Sunday and every day.  EVERYTHING in my life answers to this mission. Including Marriage.  Adam was given work to do, then a HELPER to accomplish the mission, not to distract from it or as a reprieve or separate life. Build your marriage as a tool to best accomplish the reason for which God has made you.

    The Miserable Middle - Leaving Mediocre Faith Behind For Good

    Reach Out: Please include your email and I will get back to you. Thanks! emersonk78@me.com Excel Still More Journal - Amazon New GENESIS Daily Bible Devotional! Daily Bible Devotional Series - Amazon Sponsors:  Spiritbuilding Publishers Website:  www.spiritbuilding.com Tyler Cain, Senior Loan Officer, Statewide Mortgage Websites: https://statewidemortgage.com/ https://tylercain.floify.com/ Phone: 813-380-8487 The Miserable Middle is a place of uncertainty, of fickle joy, as the result of too much closeness and assimilation with the world. If we, even in part, live according to the world, then we are susceptible to the doubt and fear within it. Without full, complete, wholehearted commitment to Christ, any joy we build will be temporary, shallow, and within the confines of our own power. But God offers so much more! In Christ, entirely in Christ, there is eternal, deep, and founded in the power of the almighty God! How do we get there? Here are some things that can help. 1) Pray for God's Help - and Believe He Will Provide It.  2) Identify your Mission - Why God Saved You.  3) Build your life around Time With God. 4) Remove what Dulls your Spiritual Appetite. 5) Tie Every Role in Your Life to Your Mission. 6) Surround Yourself with People who are ALL IN.

These ideas have shaped people's lives for centuries. All are valuable and can have directional impacts on your life. However, each one needs more Jesus! Don't we all, and don't all things, just need a little more Jesus? Well, maybe a lot. Let's take these ancient truths for self-improvement and add to them divine concepts of the Messiah, and then they can truly become The Supreme Five!

Daily Bible Devotional Series - Amazon Sponsors:  Spiritbuilding Publishers Website:  www.spiritbuilding.com Tyler Cain, Senior Loan Officer, Statewide Mortgage Websites: https://statewidemortgage.com/ https://tylercain.floify.com/ Phone: 813-380-8487 The believer rests in Christ. Not just one day, but today. We are seated with Him in a place of protection, help, and assurance. He is with us always, even right now, and with Him comes omnipotence and glory. We are saved, secured, and safe. It is only from this seat that we can truly walk. And I don't mean just get up and start walking. I mean that what is true spiritually remains true: you are seated with Christ, even as you walk. The walk reflects the relationship. It is not an effort to validate what Christ did or to pay Him back. It is not a debt owed. It is a life of hope in Him. The devil will attack. He will try to ruin our confidence. But he is a loser. He has lost. We are on Mount Zion; he is in the valley of despair. We have the high ground in Jesus Christ, and the power of Christ to hold that ground. Sequence is crucial. You cannot stand if you are not seated, nor walk. Begin with Christ, pray about what is true, find joy in who you are in Him and who He is for you. And walk with life and stand with strength—His strength.

Daily Bible Devotional Series - Amazon Sponsors:  Spiritbuilding Publishers Website:  www.spiritbuilding.com Tyler Cain, Senior Loan Officer, Statewide Mortgage Websites: https://statewidemortgage.com/ https://tylercain.floify.com/ Phone: 813-380-8487 Notes on a recent sermon: Romans 8 and the Holy Spirit  5 Amazing Sources of Confidence: - No Condmenation in Jesus (8:1-2) - Holy Spirit within us (8:9-11; I Cor. 3:16; 6:18-20) - Adopted by the Father (8:15-17) - Justified and Glorified (8:18, 28-30) - In Christ's Amazing Love (8:35-39 At the same time, we are called to be faithful: - Walk by the Spirit, not flesh (8:4-5) - Death to deeds of the body (8:12-13) - Live in God without fear (8:15-16) - Endure suffering with hope (8:18, 23-25) - Conform to Christ's image (8:17, 29) HOW do I stay confident in Christ when I fall so woefully short of these goals? Here are a few things we know that help: 1) Grace creates a relationship: obedience chooses to live in it. 2) Faithfulness is about Lordship; no sinless perfection. 3) Struggle is expected in the Christian, not condemned. 4) God Gives His HOLY SPIRIT to Help Us in our Walk! That last one is HUGE. Here are 8 things Romans 8 teaches that the Holy Spirit is doing. You do not have to explain them. But you must BELIEVE. And pray for these things.  - He Sets Us Free (8:1-2) - He Dwells In Us (8:11) - He Gives Life to our Mortal Bodies (8:11) - He Helps us Defeat Sin (8:13) - The Spirit Leads us (8:14) - He Testifies with us (8:16) - He Helps our weaknesses (8:26) - The Spirit Interceded in prayer (8:26)
