The Message

Teach with Your Life

4 ^1-5 The Spirit makes it clear that as time goes on, some are going to give up on the faith and chase after demonic illusions put forth by professional liars. These liars have lied so well and for so long that they’ve lost their capacity for truth. They will tell you not to get married. They’ll tell you not to eat this or that food—perfectly good food God created to be eaten heartily and with thanksgiving by believers who know better! Everything God created is good, and to be received with thanks. Nothing is to be sneered at and thrown out. God’s Word and our prayers make every item in creation holy.

For Reflection

As one moves through life God places people in his or her path to offer opportunities for reconciliation and service so that His kingdom can be realized.  The truth is that most times one never knows whose paths have been manipulated by God.  Few ever know how they have influenced another's life. 

So, believers, follow your faith unerringly.  Do not deviate from obedience and abide in God.  You never know how you will influence another to accept God's offer of reconciliation and peace.  Be ready to allow God's grace to work through you.  Teach with your life! 

Pray

That you will always be aware of how your actions and words carry the nature of God to others.  Pray that your will abide in God's grace and that you will be a conduit for His love.
