Four questions you ought to ask yourself

I like sharing my notes from sermons that speak to my spirit. Pastor Ed Young, Winning Walk, always preaches without sugarcoating God’s word.

God's word provides answers when we check it. We should all ask these questions anytime we need to make a decision.

Is this beneficial?

Is this addictive?

1 Corinthians 6:12 TLB

I can do anything I want to if Christ has not said no,[a] but some of these things aren’t good for me. Even if I am allowed to do them, I’ll refuse to if I think they might get such a grip on me that I can’t easily stop when I want to.

Does it hurt others?

1 Corinthians 8:13 NCV

So if the food I eat causes them to fall into sin, I will never eat meat again so that I will not cause any of them to sin.

Does it give glory to God?

1 Corinthians 10:31 NCV

The answer is, if you eat or drink, or if you do anything, do it all for the glory of God.

When it hurts to care – Psalm 31:7

When it hurts to care – Psalm 31:7
Psalm 31:7 I will be glad and rejoice in your unfailing love, for you have seen my troubles, and you care about the anguish of my soul. One of God’s gifts to me is the ability to care about and pray for those who are ill. But right now, my mother is at the end of her life, and another key person in my life recently received bad health news. I also follow the Facebook journey of a courageous 12-year old girl, Jessie Rees, who suffered from two inoperable brain tumors. She passed away a few days ago. I am sad.

But it’s interesting that in my sadness, I’ve come to appreciate how God works my faith steps. Before I decided that God’s purpose for me was greater than my own purpose, I had a hard time being close to people because it hurt that they might die or leave me.
