Fruit of the Spirit

“Against such there is no law.”

No Law Against Kindness

“But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, forbearance, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control. 

Against such things there is no law. 
Those who belong to Christ Jesus have crucified the flesh with its passions and desires. Since we live by the Spirit, let us keep in step with the Spirit. 
Let us not become conceited, provoking and envying each other.

Galatians 5:22-26

A Kindred Sermon

An Abundant Life

Good Morning Everyone. My topic is Abundant Life. In John 10:10, Jesus said,

“I came that they may have Life, and have it more abundantly.” 

So, I ask you, are you living that Abundant Life right now.  You can, and you should, but are you?  Do you even know what it means?  Do you know how to get that Abundant Life?

What it means –

Emotion: the Hinderance of the Soul

When an intellectual conversation dissolves into a self-loathing proclamation…

“The Answer,” they seek cannot materialize. Instead, the, “investigation,” becomes a self-exploration, describing the whole of humanity, fueled by pent-up emotion (which they want to share,) consequently being extinguished by the arrogant affect of being the observer attempting to objectively observe itself.
As a picture of a pencil cannot draw itself, the human attempting to reconcile with its own cognitive dissonance by way of cognition is the same as the ocean attempting to dry itself off by splashing around!

Pressure Relief

“We bring The Bible with us from place to place, when always The Bible is inside our hearts.”

A Decision

To decide between taking a vacation for reading The Bible and getting closer to God or taking a vacation for experiencing a new life by getting closer to another person, is a decision few men have the opportunity to make.

What Defines the Intention of the Sojourn?

Strength Until the Last Hour

Jesus comes down and touches someone’s heart
and someone’s soul;
and they will show mercy.
A lot of people don’t have the strength
to hold their faith until that last hour.
Jesus held his faith until the last hour on the cross.
That’s when miracles happen-

In the last hour!

1 Samuel 25:4-44

While David was in the wilderness, he heard that Nabal was shearing sheep.

So he sent ten young men and said to them, “Go up to Nabal at Carmel and greet him in my name.

Say to him: ‘Long life to you! Good health to you and your household! And good health to all that is yours!’

Hearing Is Believing

The sense of hearing
beckons
the curiosity of the soul.

“Just reading it isn’t enough; there is something about hearing The Word that does something for the Spiritual part of your mind.”

A Crossed Sojourn

“Chaplain Bob smiled as he handed me a ten dollar bill from his wallet.”

His name is Chaplain Bob Miller. I cold-called him, asking for help one day. When he returned my call, he was driving back from the airport with his wife; they had just arrived home from Cuba.

Bob was warm and inviting. He understood my situation. He had a lot on his plate at the time, but he took a couple of moments to meet with me and briefly listen to my quandary. Little did he know,

The Day the Crossed Sojourn Began
