When we are separated from God, we begin to be more like the world and practice bad habits. KNOW THIIS: GOD COMMANDS and DEMANDS US TO GET RID OF OUR BAD HABITS if we are to be reconciled to Him; seeing His divine power has granted to us everything pertaining to life and godliness, so that by them we may become partakers of the divine nature, having escaped the corruption that is in the world by lust. 2 Peter 1.3-4. Read also Romans 12.2; Galatians 5.24.

The only things that are improved by breaking are the hearts of sinners. (Anonymous).  But this is the one to whom I will look; “He who is humble and contrite in spirit and trembles at my word. Isaiah 66.2. The Lord is near to the brokenhearted and saves the crushed in spirit. Psalm 34.18. But who is the forgiven? It is those who come to God with their hearts broken. 2 Corinthians 7.9-10. Father help us to humble ourselves under your righteous right hand. AMEN

There was a time not that long ago when men committed their evil sinful acts under the cover of darkness, hating the light because it exposed them. See John 3.19. Today, like Sodom some seem to take pride in their sinful ways and rather than try to hide them they openly declare and support all kinds of wickedness and supporting those who say evil is good and good is evil. God help us!

Good Morning,  Have you noticed all the tearing down of old buildings and new construction to take its place? It reminds me of what happens when we are transformed out of the darkness of sin and into His marvelous light through faith, repentance and baptism. We take off (tear down) the sinful ways of the old man, and put on (build up) a new man, renewed in the knowledge according to the image of our creator. The old is completely destroyed freeing us from all our old ways of sin that had structured our lives. And a new man is erected with godly ways to structure our lives with love, mercy, kindness and forgiveness, praising and honoring God in all, we do, think and speak. Colossians 3.9,10.

Good Morning,  The love of money is the root of all kinds of evil causing some to stray from the faith in their greediness and pierce themselves through with many sorrows. See 1 Timothy 6.10. If we allow it, wealth can become an idol and when you draw that last fleeting breath all your worldly wealth will be left behind and then whose wealth will it be? There is nothing wrong with having honestly earned wealth while here, but if you become greedy and obsessed with it, you are treading on very shaky ground.
