11-15-09 Romans 8:12-15
(Romans 8:12 KJV) Therefore, brethren, we are debtors, not to the flesh, to live after the flesh. (Romans 8:13 KJV) For if ye live after the flesh, ye shall die: but if ye through the Spirit do mortify the deeds of the body, ye shall live. (Romans 8:14 KJV) For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God. (Romans 8:15 KJV) For ye have not received the spirit of bondage again to fear; but ye have received the Spirit of adoption, whereby we cry, Abba, Father.

The Church of Sardis: Revelation 3:1-6
This church’s strength is its greatest weakness. This church has the reputation of being alive. However, this reputation has caused them to take their eyes off of Jesus and look to themselves. Jesus calls them to remember the message they received and heard. They were dead in their sins until Jesus came and lived a perfect life and shed his precious blood on their behalf on a roman cross to wash away their sins and clothe them in clean garments of his righteousness. He is the one who is alive and we only live, if we live, through him. All boasting must be in him and in what he has accomplished on the cross. This letter is a call for the church which bears the name Christian to need, love, and treasure Christ. We need to wake up from our delusional self-reliance, and remember when Jesus was our only hope. Remember that you are dead and you need Jesus and the Holy Spirit, which he alone can give, to make you alive.

True Righteousness & Anger, pt. 2 (Matthew 5:23-26)
The righteousness that marks one's participation in the kingdom, the righteousness that was always intended, is a level of living in relationship with God that extends to the very depths of the heart. True righteousness, being in the kingdom, being a Christian is a matter of the inner man. Follow the Lord as He gives to illustrations of how this righteousness, in relation to the commandment "You shall not murder," looks in the life of His servants.

A Contrite Heart
In 2 Samuel 11 and 12, King David stumbles into an immense moral failure when he commits adultery with Bathsheba and murders her husband Uriah to cover it up. In Psalm 51 we learn how David can still be called a "man after God's own heart" and how we can share in the forgiveness that David receives - by embracing Jesus as the truer and better King.
