Have You Tried It?

For I am not ashamed of the gospel, for it is the power of God for salvation to everyone who believes

Romans 1:16

Last night I finally got the opportunity to watch this “I am Second” video.

I love how this video begins… a reminder that we all are going to die. This is the bottom line of us all. So I ask you… what are your struggling against and struggling for? What is your focus in this world? What is your goal to achieve… and why is it your goal?

As I watched… I loved also the blessing of seeing the  heart of Mrs Kay. In the show they make her appear a little “cookey” as we might say here in the South… but make no bones about it… she is one of the strongest women you will probably ever meet. In a day where the thought of standing by your man appears to be an ancient concept. In a day where the thought of a marriage not being worth it, if it is hard… we see a different story in her.

Where in the Word does it say if it is hard it is not worth it? Where is it written that a relationship that requires the actual use of the fruits of the Spirit is not working? Where is it written that it will take anything less than humble submission to the Word of God and submission to the will of the Spirit of God to walk in love and live out love (that is God’s definition of love, not the world’s) in our families?

Where is that written?

What relationships are you walking out on because you can’t take it?

What relationships are you not handling the way God commands us to in His Word because you can’t take doing it God’s way?

Have you even tried doing it God’s way? Not the way a pastor advised you, or a Sunday School teacher, or a person at work, but the way the Word of God said… you just might find He was right all along.

 

Have you missed the gospel?

Now I make known to you, brethren, the gospel which I preached to you, which also you received, in which also you stand, by which also you are saved, if you hold fast the word which I preached to you, unless you believed in vain. For I delivered to you as of first importance what I also received, that Christ died for our sins according to the Scriptures, and that He was buried, and that He was raised on the third day according to the Scriptures, and that He appeared to Cephas, then to the twelve.

1 Corinthians 15:1-5
