Read to OBEY. Read to be convicted.

Romans 12:9-20
Love Christ without hypocrisy. Love his perfection. Hate sin.
***Remember why I hate sin. It is an empty life.

Put others before myself, period. Care for others' circumstances.

Vengeance is the Lord's.
But what about protecting my family if someone were to attack?
That' s not vengeance...

God's name
No useless prayer with "in God's name" or "in Jesus' name"

Worship
Remember who God is & affirm who He is

It's a pretty spiritually dry time for me right now.

I have little to no desire to read the Word...why? I'm very involved in school, GoC, and non-Christian friends so there's pretty much no time for reading & praying.
But I have so much to be thankful for...shouldn't I tell God what I'm thankful for?
Don't I have ways to grow...shouldn't I ask God to grow me?

This Word of God is good, it's infinite and I need to drink its pure milk. (oh ho ho funny)

2 Corinthians 5:13
God made him who knew no sin to be sin on our behalf, so that we might become the righteousness of God in Him.
Jesus is so awesome. And God sacrificed Jesus so that all believers could become Jesus.

Romans 7:13-25

Paul knew God's will but still had a desire to sin.
We, as humans, are imperfect still and will always have a desire to sin.
This is OUR LIFELONG struggle.
Praise be to GOD & CHRIST for our salvation because we've already lost so many battles in this lifelong war.

Fight it with Christ.

Romans 9 - 12:1-2

Be saddened by others rejection. Why am I not?
God is in control of who He saves and whom He condemns. Do they choose it?
Through sin, God has shown his wrath & power & mercy.
Moral laws do not bring righteousness; they bring condemnation. Only Christ brings righteousness.
Do not let salvation boost pride. Fear God knowing that I was saved by grace & should respect Him, the Holy & Almighty.

***What would I do if my daughter were actually raped? I would want to kill the guy(s) who did it. Would I go through with it though? Do I believe God is the ultimate judge?

Revelations 8 - 11:14
God will spare judgment from His children. Be SERIOUS about how painful this judgment is & appreciate salvation that much more.
