OUTLINE:

Relationship Issues?
The truth about fractures in your families, or with your friends, or loved ones is nothing more than the offensiveness of Christ, as He becomes increasingly evidenced in you, to those offended (assuming Gal 6:9).

Wisdom
An arrogant person is more concerned with their own reputation than God’s. ’Tis why the Bible is filled with affronts to the arrogant, for God never elevates the reputation of man over His own.

Wisdom
Stick to the Word of God as the source of all wisdom and knowledge, for that is precisely what it is. Conversely, man’s natural heart is infinitely evil (Jer 17:9).

Refuse Religious Labels…
…except one - BELIEVER! The Word, and Jesus during His incarnation, as well as the early church fathers, spoke of one distinction, specifically:  believers vs. unbelievers.

Self-Righteousness
Most Christians spend their time looking for the “best church” father than the best/only truth!

Fruit-Bearing Evidence
It’s impossible to suppose you are living for Christ if you don’t love others.

1Co 1:2
To the church of God which is at Corinth, to those who have been sanctified in Christ Jesus, saints by calling, with all who in every place call on the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, their Lord and ours.

Perverting the Church
The first crack in any structure is always the hardest. However, once a crack exists, given the newly weakened state of the structure, all future cracks are increasingly easy to form.

1Co 16:13
Be on the alert, stand firm in the faith, act like men, be strong.

Perverting the Church
The first crack in any structure is always the hardest. However, once a crack exists, given the newly weakened state of the structure, all future cracks are increasingly easy to form.

2Co 9:6
Now this I say, he who sows sparingly will also reap sparingly, and he who sows bountifully will also reap bountifully.

The Dutiful Slave
We are not to commend ourselves for fulfilling our duties/responsibilities. In fact, we are remiss if we passively exist as a member of the Body of Christ, misappropriating our time/energy meant for others to ourselves. (ref: Lk 17:7-10)

Ac 17:11
Now these were more noble-minded than those in Thessalonica, for they received the word with great eagerness, examining the Scriptures daily to see whether these things were so.

'Til I die and they put me in the coffin
Don't matter if I'm on the road or if I'm recordin'
Tell me what you think about me, that really ain't important
You know I'mma represent um, I ain't playin', can't afford to

I only got one life and I get it though
And this is not an act, not a movie, not a TV show
I don't know what quittin' means, I don't ever take it slow
You know I'm on the grind, me and Toby in the studio

Do it for the King, what you know about that?
Say you goin' harder, mmm I doubt that'
You say you doin' work, but you're asking where the couch at
How you doin' work when you asking where the couch at?

God is not a crutch, you can use Him when you wanna
You only look to heaven when you goin' through some drama
And when they goin' through some problems and that's the only time they call Him

NF

I guess I don't understand that life, wonder why 'cause I'm all in
'Til the day I die

The Perfect Measurements
May our measurements in life, the things we count as "good" for example, always be measured against the Word of God, which is never wrong or inaccurate.
