Wallowing in sin
I can’t count how many Christians fall into sin and sit and wallow in it miserably, and end up sinfully discouraging themselves in their walk, which stops them of their strength and puts them off of their Christian duties, simply because they limit the grace of God. They say they don’t limit His grace, but in moments they prove otherwise when they sink in total discouragement. There is this habit they have of putting themselves back under the Law in terms of being right with God, and they condemn themselves, forgetting that there is now no more condemnation for those in Christ Jesus (Romans 8:1).

Be careful who you follow

Be careful who you follow
by Joshua Agan
Paul said “Follow me as I follow Christ.” (1 Corinthians 11:1)
Take a hard look at the men you follow and compare their walk to the walk of Christ (1 John 2:3-6).
Take a hard look at the men you follow and compare their fruit against those of the flesh and those of the Spirit, to see what is being manifest (Galatians 5:16-25; Matthew 7:15-23). You cannot manifest both—these two are opposed to one another. Read the rest of this entry
The old prophet
After Solomon died his kingdom was split in two. Ten tribes seceded and made Jeroboam their king; two accepted Solomon’s son Rehoboam as their king. God’s temple was part of Rehoboam’s kingdom and Jeroboam was afraid that if his subjects continued to go there to worship they might not remain loyal to him.
And Jeroboam said in his heart, “Now the kingdom will turn back to the house of David. If this people go up to offer sacrifices in the temple of the LORD at Jerusalem, then the heart of this people will turn again to their lord, to Rehoboam king of Judah, and they will kill me and return to Rehoboam king of Judah.”
So the king took counsel and made two calves of gold. And he said to the people, “You have gone up to Jerusalem long enough. Behold your gods, O Israel, who brought you up out of the land of Egypt.”
And he set one in Bethel, and the other he put in Dan.
1 Kings 12:26-29
