    The king talked with them; and among them all was found no one like Daniel, Hananiah, Mishael, and Azariah. Therefore stood they before the king. In every matter of wisdom and understanding concerning which the king inquired of them, he found them ten times better than all the magicians and enchante...

    If you died with Christ from the elements of the world, why, as though living in the world, do you subject yourselves to ordinances, "Don't handle, nor taste, nor touch" (all of which perish with use), according to the precepts and doctrines of men? These things indeed appear like wisdom in self-imp...

Sin Less

  • If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us. If we confess our sins, he is faithful and righteous to forgive us the sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness. If we say that we haven't sinned, we make him a liar, and his word is not in us. 1 John 1:8 WEB

    When you work with someone day after day and you watch them smack their thumb with a hammer, drop something on their foot, or wait in line at a store, you get to know who they really are without their church face on. While helping an elder at our church repair the roof of his house, I learned a lot about him. I got to know him.

    One day we went to the hardware store for some supplies, and a neighbor's boy who was about four years old, went with us. While we were getting some nails, the little boy picked up a few and put them in his pocket. He simply saw us picking some nails up, so he did to. When we got back to the house and the elder found the extra nails, he drove all the way back to town to return them, because he hadn't paid for them.

    He was in his seventies, and after walking with the Lord for forty years, he was very polished. He prayed over everything, never seemed to lose his temper, trusted God, and controlled his emotions. He looked the other way when a short skirt walked past us at the diner. He was the real thing and when he prayed, God often answered him back. One night at church, He laid hands on the pastor's wife and she was instantly healed of cancer. The prayers of a righteous man can accomplish much (James 5:7).

    From what he explained to me though, it was not always like this. When he was young he had quite the temper, made many mistakes, but he sinned less these days. He had learned to discipline his body and make it behave. Like Paul said, 'I beat my body and bring it into submission, lest by any means, after I have preached to others, I myself should be rejected' (1 Corinthians 9:27).

    That is the goal, and it is not a quick process. None of us are perfect, none of us are without sin, but we are working on it. Hopefully, I will sin less this year than I did last year. If you do sin, just repent and get back on course. Grace, forgiveness, and acceptance can be yours if you only ask. We all fall down in areas. ' for a righteous man falls seven times and rises up again,

    but the wicked are overthrown by calamity.' (Proverbs 24:16). Repent, get back up, and sin less.

    Prayer: Heavenly Father I thank You for saving me. Please forgive me of any sin in my life. Wash me and I will be clean. Guide me to where I need to be. Help me walk upright as a child of the Most High God, in the name of Jesus Christ I pray. Amen!
