" SINCERITY "

Well it appears that another week has come and gone. As always I enjoy the company,and I thank you for dropping by. I want you to know that I'm intentional about my work in God's Kingdom. Remember just let me know of your prayer request and I will get right on it, and you can take that fact to the bank. This week we will be covering a subject that we all should be mindful of " Sincerity. " Sincerity is defined in this manner: freedom from deceit, hypocrisy; or duplicity;probity in intention or in communicating; earnestness. " Sincerity ": is advanced when you are open to having others in your life and when you do not feel a need to compare yourself with what others have and what you do not. There is no substitute for obedience or excuse for disobedience. We are often guilty of trying to make God in our image, molding him to fit our expectations, desires, and circumstances. When we do this, we end up worshiping ourselves rather than the God who created us - and self-worship, today as in the Israelite's time, leads to all kinds of immorality. What is your favorite imagine of God? Is it Biblical? Is it adequate? Do you need to destroy it in order to worship the immeasurably powerful God who delivered you from bondage to sin? Sincerity and truth are extremely valuable because they are so rare. Many people are deceivers, liars, flatterers; they think they will get what they want by deception. When we feel as though sincerity and truth have nearly gone out of existence, we have one -hope the Word Of God. God's words are as flawless as refined silver. So listen carefully when He speaks. OK, please adhere,when you go to church, or have fellowship with other believers, are you doing this from habit or for what you get out of it? God says that an attitude of worship without a sincere desire to know and love him will lead to ruin. " Sincere Love " involves selfless giving,a self-centered person can't truly love. God's Love and Forgiveness free you to take your eyes off yourselves and to meet others' needs. By sacrificing his life, Christ showed that He Truly Loves Us. Please wrap your mind around this concept, that you can love others by following His example and by giving of yourself sacrificially. Until next Time... Jim,
