ACTIONS SPEAK LOUDER

Titus 1:16     "They profess to know God, but they deny him by their works. They are detestable, disobedient, unfit for any good work." ESV     People like to talk and some like to talk so that they will be believed. There is a rude awakening for those people. When we communicate with others, they will pay attention to only 7% of the words we say, 38% of how we say it, and 55% of our behaviors they see. Be careful about saying the right words and not living them. No one likes a hypocrite and our God sees those who do this as useless.     Heavenly Father, search our hearts and minds and show us if we are saying one thing and doing another. Help us to have actions  consistent with the words we speak about our faith. We pray that we will be useful for Your kingdom. In Jesus' name we pray, Amen.              ©2008-2013 Daily Grace Bobbi Craigmyle, Psy.D., BCPCC   http://insidetheshrink-dailygrace.blogspot.com/   No Copyright Infringement Intended Personal Use Only

THE HEART SPEAKS LOUDER THAN WORDS

 

 

Titus 1:16

"They claim to know God, but by their actions they deny him. They are detestable, disobedient, and unfit for doing anything good." NIV

"They profess that they know God; but in works they deny him, being abominable, and disobedient, and unto every good work reprobate." KJV

Many people claim to be committed to God, to be true Christians, and on the surface their lives seem to be very Godly. However, if a discerning Christian looks beyond these exterior appearances and sees the true fruit of these professing Christians, very ungodly things begin to make themselves known. There are wrong thoughts, unforgiveness, judgment of others, feelings of spiritual pride and status. These people will usually fail to see their own spiritual failings and exaggerate the spiritual failings of others. They become defensive if they are confronted with their own problems. For these Christians who claim to know God, they are only fooling themselves, because God is exposing them to His true children. This is the time for His true children to pray for these people. They need spiritual cleansing and renewal to get all the ungodliness out of the way of true communion with our Lord.

Heavenly Father, forgive us if we are among those who claim to be good Christians, yet we harbor wrong thoughts, attitudes and feelings. Help us to repent and forsake all wrongs to walk in holiness and righteousness as Your children. We pray this in the name of Jesus our Lord, Amen.

INSIDE AND OUT

Circumcision was the outward, physical act representing the covenant
between God Almighty and His children. Unfortunately, for many, they
failed to circumcise their hearts. Today, we can be church members,
church workers, talk the Christian lingo, know the Bible inside and out,
and never have given our hearts to Him. If that is the case, then we are
merely ungodly people masquerading as Christians. Let's examine
ourselves. Are we true Christians, inside and out?

Heavenly Father, search our hearts and reveal to us the true condition
of our hearts. We want to have pure hearts that are in your hands, in
Jesus' name.

Read Jeremiah 9:25

"The days are coming declares the Lord, when I will punish all who are
circumcised only in the flesh." (NIV)

"Behold, the days come, saith the LORD, that I will punish all them which are circumcised with the uncircumcised." (KJV)
