In Part 1, we learned about our “soul” responsibility to wait upon God and maintain our souls. In Part 2, we saw how God designed our souls to be the connection between our physical and spiritual life. We will see the how of keeping our souls: seeking God first, staying our minds, knowing how much to know, setting our thoughts on things above, and not setting our thoughts on earthly things.
In Part 1, we learned about our “soul” responsibility to wait upon God and maintain our souls. Now let’s see how God designed our souls to be the connection between our physical and spiritual life. We can receive information in our souls from either our body (five-senses input) or our spirit (God’s gift in us).
As I was walking home from teaching at the high school yesterday, I noticed some students staring at their cell phones. I looked up at the bright blue sky punctuated with fleecy white clouds and decided to live “in the moment.”
Live for God
Open your heart to God above
And don’t ever look back or be condemned.
You’re now His son, so bask in love.
Get up and move and live for Him!
Philippians 1:20: [J.B. Phillips]
…now, as always, I should honour Christ with the utmost boldness by the way I live.
Sometimes I get so wrapped up in the small, daily things of life that I tend to forget who I am and what I’m doing here on earth.
On the eighth day of the third month in the year 28 A.D., the Church of the Body of Christ began. It was the day of Pentecost, ten days after the ascension of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. On that day, in the Temple at Jerusalem, Peter and the eleven apostles with him were born again of incorruptible seed. They manifested the gift of holy spirit by speaking in tongues.
Jesus Christ taught many things. Perhaps one of his best known teachings is about sowing seed and bringing forth fruit.
It’s funny how little changes can mean a lot. By changing only one letter we go from “love” to “live” to “life” to “lift” and then we change two letters to get “light.”
