The Power of Seeking the Lord: Avoiding Scriptural Distortions Jesus' sacrifice on the cross removed the curse that was mentioned. It's a beautiful reminder that we are meant to be joint heirs, working together as a team to seek the Lord's guidance and follow His plan. Sometimes people, when they're untaught or unstable in their faith, twist Scriptures to suit their own desires and agendas. They might misuse certain verses to justify their actions, which can lead to error and misunderstandings. Just as God was in control during Saul's time, even when things seemed chaotic, God remains in control of our lives today. It's essential to seek His guidance and not twist His Word to fit our preferences. The true understanding of Scripture comes from studying it in context and with a humble heart, open to God's guidance. #Scripture #UnderstandingGodsWord #Teamwork 1 Samuel 13:11 "Rationalizing Sin" https://youtu.be/L8P4WFvcxjw Subscribe: https://mtr.bio/calvarychapelmke

The True Meaning of Submission Absolutely, this passage highlights a common tendency among some individuals. They twist and distort Scripture to fit their own agendas or desires, often to their own detriment. It's like taking a single truth out of context and using it to justify actions or beliefs without considering the bigger picture. For instance, take the instruction "wives submit to your own husbands." Some may use this verse to enforce their authority without realizing that just before this, it also says to "submit to one another in the fear of the Lord." It's about mutual respect and love within a marriage, not one-sided dominance. And as for the idea that women are under a curse, it's essential to understand that through Jesus' sacrifice on the cross, the curse was removed. We are meant to be joint heirs, partners in life, and that's the original plan God had for us. #Scripture #ContextMatters #MutualRespect" 1 Samuel 13:11 "Rationalizing Sin" https://youtu.be/L8P4WFvcxjw Subscribe: https://mtr.bio/calvarychapelmke

Embrace Your Imperfections and Take Radical Action for Redemption In this powerful passage, we find Joshua, the high priest, standing before the Lord in filthy clothing. It's a profound reminder that even our best efforts are like dirty rags in the eyes of God. We can't clean ourselves up before coming to Him. We must approach Him in all honesty, acknowledging that our hearts are inherently flawed and deceitful. The key here is not to hide or downplay our sin but to confront it head-on. God wants us to be deeply offended by the sin in our lives and take radical steps to deal with it. What's radical? Well, taking it to the cross. It might sound radical, but it's the only way. We need to recognize our sin for what it is, call it vile, and bring it to the cross. It's there, at the cross, that we find forgiveness through the precious blood of Jesus. #Sin #Forgiveness #Honesty" 1 Samuel 13:11 "Rationalizing Sin" https://youtu.be/L8P4WFvcxjw Subscribe: https://mtr.bio/calvarychapelmke

Don't Just Hear, Do! Let's talk about how God's Word shines a light on our lives, revealing things we sometimes prefer to ignore. We read it, but do we really take it to heart? James, the wise guy that he was, tells us not to just listen to the Word, but to act on it. It's like looking in a mirror, seeing ourselves, and then completely forgetting what we saw. Now, when it comes to facing our own mistakes and trying to brush them off, we often resort to making excuses or pretending it didn't happen. These tactics can keep us from admitting our faults and slow down our spiritual growth. So, instead of just reading the Word, let's start doing what it says and let its wisdom transform our lives. #WordofGod #Transformation #SelfReflection 1 Samuel 13:11 "Rationalizing Sin" https://youtu.be/L8P4WFvcxjw Subscribe: https://mtr.bio/calvarychapelmke

God's Control Amidst Jesus' Betrayal and Crucifixion🙌 In times of uncertainty and apparent failure, remember that God is always in control. His plans often unfold in ways we can't foresee. Just as Jesus' crucifixion seemed like a tragic failure, it was part of God's greater plan for salvation. Trust in His wisdom and sovereignty even when things look bleak. He's always working behind the scenes. #GodsPlan #DivineWisdom #TrustInHim 1 Samuel 13:11 "Rationalizing Sin" https://youtu.be/L8P4WFvcxjw Subscribe: https://mtr.bio/calvarychapelmke

What Really Spills Out of Your Heart🧡💬 Ever noticed how what spills out during moments of anger, frustration, or bitterness is what's truly in your heart? Those emotions aren't just reactions to external factors; they reveal what's brewing within. God often allows situations to 'jiggle' us, showing us what's hidden inside. Instead of blaming the trigger, let's recognize this as an opportunity for self-awareness. What spills out reveals what's within. #HeartRevelations #InnerEmotions #SelfAwareness 1 Samuel 13:11 "Rationalizing Sin" https://youtu.be/L8P4WFvcxjw Subscribe: https://mtr.bio/calvarychapelmke

True Repentance: Confession & Turning 🙏🛤️ In the journey of faith, confession is the first step – acknowledging our sins. But remember, it's followed by repentance, a deliberate turn away from those wrong paths. Confessing without repenting is like staying stuck in a loop. We need to lay our sins at the cross, leaving them behind, and embracing a new direction. Let's not just admit our faults, but actively seek transformation through God's grace and power. #RepentanceJourney #TurningTowardsGrace #NewDirection 1 Samuel 13:11 "Rationalizing Sin" https://youtu.be/L8P4WFvcxjw Subscribe: https://mtr.bio/calvarychapelmke
