Read the manual!


Psalm 119:9,11, Deuteronomy 30:14-20

Sin is a very real problem that we face on a daily basis. We can run form it, act like it is not there, or blame someone else for our struggle with sin. But the truth is, sin is a personal problem that we all have and need to take ownership of (Romans 3:23). BUT THERE IS GOOD NEWS. We have the solution to sin and it is in Jesus (Romans 3:24, 7:24-25). Accepting Jesus frees us from the bondage of sin but we must physically walk out our faith with fear and trembling (Philippians 2:12). And this comes by actually living what the Bible teaches. We have to place a high value on God's Word in our lives and read it on a daily basis (Psalm 119:14-15). His Word must become our JOY and we have to make an effort to know and understand The WORD OF GOD (Psal
m 119:16-18). It must become a personal passion to live God's Word and not a chore. We make time to work, study for school, watch a movie, spend time with loved ones, etc., because it is our hear's desire. We have to make time for the Word in our personal lives and in our hearts. We must desire God's Will over our own will, goals, and selfish desires (Psalm 119:36-37,72). We cannot expect God to bless us if we live a life that contradicts His Word. There is no "but" in this previous statement nor is there an exception to it. God's Word is truth and it is absolute. It is a choice to obey His Word. Life and Death have clearly been set before us Life (His Word, His Way, Our Savior) and death (false religions, our way, the devil's lies), chose life (Deuteronomy 30:14-20) and it will go well with you, trust this statement because it will. Chose Him by accepting Him as Lord and doing what His Word teaches. Stay focused, you can do this. 





"In His JOY!"
