Deep Listening to the Spirit


We all have a teacher...
the
question is who is teaching us? Thankful that the Word instructs us (1 Tim 2:16) so we can not only think but act different because of the Spirit (teacher) in us.


If the Gospel is to be real, how am I showing (living) that it is?

If the church doesn't love people who will?

If the church doesn't serve people who will?

If the church doesn't accept us who will? Something will fill the void.

If the church doesn't teach God's plan for our relationships who will?
If the church doesn't open the Bible and call people to live in scriptural holiness, who will?
If the church doesn't bring God's instruction to people, who will?


I thank God for the scriptures He give us, lest we think no differently than the people of this world think.

1 Corinthians 2:9-13 It is just as the Scriptures say, "What God has planned for people who love him is more than eyes have seen or ears have heard. It has never even entered our minds!" God's Spirit has shown you everything. His Spirit finds out everything, even what is deep in the mind of God. You are the only one who knows what is in your own mind, and God's Spirit is the only one who knows what is in God's mind. But God has given us his Spirit. That's why we don't think the same way that the people of this world think. That's also why we can recognize the blessings that God has given us. Every word we speak was taught to us by God's Spirit, not by human wisdom. And this same Spirit helps us teach spiritual things to spiritual people.
