When you are blessed with riches, be careful not to be high-minded, bragging and boasting, and trusting in your riches.

Do good to others, give thanks to God, and trust in Him.

I Timothy 6:17-18 (KJV) – charge them that are rich in this world, that they be not high minded, not trust in uncertain riches, but in the living God, who giveth us richly all things to enjoy. That they do good, that they be rich in good works, ready to distribute, willing to communicate.

Speak the truth to one another.

The lies we speak are only damaging to ourselves.

Ephesians 4:25 (KJV) – wherefore putting away lying, speak every man truth with his neighbour: for we are members one of another.

Are you an example of being a follower of Jesus Christ? Do people see Christ in you by what you speak, what you do, what you give, and in your faith?

Be an example!

I Timothy 4:12 (KJV) – let no man despise thy youth: but be thou an example of the believers, in word, in conversation, in charity, in spirit, in faith, in purity.

God’s peace and grace be with you all, by all means.

II Thessalonians 3:16,18 (KJV) – now the Lord of peace himself give you peace always by all means. The Lord be with you all. The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you all. Amen.

Most of us do not know what God’s will is for us.

Be wise. Ask. He will reveal it to you. If you don’t ask, you don’t know.

Ephesians 5:15-17 (KJV) – See then that ye walk circumspectly, not as fools, but as wise. Redeeming the time, because the days are evil. Wherefore be ye not unwise, but understanding what the will of the Lord is.

James 4:2 (KJV) – ye lust, and have not, ye kill, and desire to have, and cannot obtain: ye fight and war, yet ye have not, because ye ask not.

Are you under the law, or under grace?

The law is made to be followed by those who choose not to do the will of God. To those who want to do their own thing, their own way.

Either you are walking under the law, doing the will of man, or you are walking in the Spirit, doing the will of God.

Just as a doctor is there for the sick, so is the law for the ungodly. If you walk in the Spirit, what need do you have for the law?

Walk in the Spirit, and you will not fulfill the lust of the flesh. You are under grace!

Galatians 5:18 (KJV) – but if ye be led of the Spirit, ye are not under the law.

Galatians 5:16 (KJV) – this I say then, Walk in the Spirit, and ye shall not fulfil the lust of the flesh.

Romans 6:14 (KJV) – for sin shall not have dominion over you: for ye are not under the law, but under grace.

No matter how much wrong we do, God continues to give us grace. It is His gift to us.

Pay it forward, and give grace to those who have wronged you. It is your gift to them.

Ephesians 4:7 (KJV) – but unto every one of us is given grace according to the measure of the gift of Christ.

Would you steal from God?

When you know that you should tithe, and you don’t, you’re stealing from God. Some don’t know that they are stealing.

Now that God knows that you know . . . will you steal from God?

Malachi 3:8 (KJV) – will a man rob God? Yet ye have robbed me. But ye say, Wherein have we robbed thee? In tithes and offerings.

Do you know what God sounds like?

It sounds like love, hope, kindness, peace, wisdom and faith.

God is speaking to you. Maybe, you just didnt know it.

Ephesians 5:9 (KJV) – for the fruit of the Spirit is in all goodness and righteousness and truth.

John 10:27 (KJV) – my sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me.

Some say that God tempts us.

If God wants the best for you, and provides you a way out of temptation, why would he trick you?

Temptation is trickery.

I Corinthians 10:13 (KJV) – there hath no temptation taken you but such as is common to man: but God is faithful, who will not suffer you to be tempted above that ye are able; but will with the temptation also make a way to escape, that ye may be able to bear it.

James 1:13-14 (KJV) – let no man say when he is tempted, I am tempted of God: for God cannot be tempted with evil, neither tempteth he any man: but every man is tempted, when he is drawn away of his own lust, and enticed.
