My Most Recent Sermon

The position that one takes stand in as a Christian should be one of sincerity by His Spirit that is made possible through the Holy Spirit’s presence in one’s life. The individual life lived before Him is of utmost importance to realize that one must face God alone at that day appointed to give account of one’s life. It is in this reminder that as members of Christ’s body in believing what He has done for us, we must cling to His Word, and rely upon His Spirit to live the life that is pleasing in His sight using the words of truth that point to Him as our source of strength through His precious name. Our words should be wholesome, yet firm to the steadfast faith that denotes faithful obedience in Jesus by trusting in God’s grace, leaning upon His mercy, and speaking with the words of truth with a value that exceeds far beyond what this world’s substance offers. We must promote healthy conversation, understanding that each word counts for either the better or worse of our lives and thus reveals what is deep within our thoughts and comes out in action of either love and blessing, or else hurt and deception. We must then take responsibility to live according to the love that Jesus gave us with a changed life from one of a lifestyle of sin to a healed life as one with a correct standing with God, Who saved us from the condemnation that we deserve. By knowing that every act and decision that is made by each one of us in this life has its consequences, would one want to be held accountable before a Just and Holy God without His forgiveness? Then it better be taken seriously now while in the time frame of your life with a sorrow toward your sins, and make it right with God by asking Him to forgive you from sin, completely forsake your old lifestyle of sin with your renewed life which was made possible by the change through the acceptance in salvation through Jesus Christ. It is also extremely necessary to maintain a healthy life in Him by growing in the likeness of His love. This is done by allowing your life to be molded into something of worth that God can use for His glory to be a blessing that does not come with trouble; instead, it brings restoration. And not only a restoration of what one would see in a temporary way in this life, but there is an eternal outcome that is worth much more in the blessings of God; for, the value of one’s soul is more important than all the riches of this life. So, we must use extreme caution with our presentation of words, that could either bring healing words of life or damaging words of death! Be sensitive and attentive to what is stated, in “The Value Of An Upright Tongue”. LaNora G. Means continue
