One Man Sharpens Another

SUMMARY

🗡🛡 GOD'S WORD - ‭‭‭‭Isaiah‬ ‭6‬:‭1‬ ‭KJV‬‬

“In the year that king Uzziah died I saw also the Lord sitting upon a throne, high and lifted up, and his train filled the temple.”

~ The Year King Uzziah Died: A Lesson in Humility

~ Pride and Its Consequences: A Biblical Perspective

This conversation explores the themes of faith, brotherhood, humility, and the dangers of pride and idolatry through the lens of biblical teachings, particularly focusing on the story of King Uzziah. The speakers emphasize the importance of surrounding oneself with good influences, the consequences of spiritual blindness, and the necessity of acknowledging God in all aspects of life. They draw parallels between the lessons from the kings of Judah and the challenges faced by modern believers, urging listeners to remain humble and vigilant in their faith journey.

⚔️ Arrogance will block our view of God. King Uzziah was a type of arrogance personified, and he got lifted up in arrogant pride and got beside himself. Arrogance will make us think we don't need God. We must avoid or guard against everything that will lead to arrogance, because if we don't, God will be forced to judge us. We must give Jesus Christ everything, or what we don't give Him may result in a source of arrogance/idolatry to us. We may not have set out or started out with arrogance, but if we don't guard against it, we will fall into its sinful trap. So, let's be careful to stay humble before Jesus Christ, always.

Some people may discriminate, but life doesn't! Life is RHF-pronounced rough (Relationships, Health, and Finances) without Christ Jesus. He is the answer or help that we all need! So, let's all turn from sin to God through Jesus Christ the Lord, and watch Him save, bless, reward us, in this life and in the next, as we continue to hear and obey His Word!

“I am the door: by me if any man enter in, he shall be saved, and shall go in and out, and find pasture. The thief cometh not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy: I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly. I am the good shepherd: the good shepherd giveth his life for the sheep.” – Christ Jesus

SUMMARY

~ Falling is Not Failing: A Message of Hope

~ The Power of Perseverance in Faith

In this conversation, the speakers discuss the themes of falling and failing, emphasizing that falling does not equate to failure. They explore the importance of perseverance, grace, and redemption in the Christian faith, highlighting biblical examples of individuals who fell but were restored through repentance. The conversation encourages listeners to support one another and to understand that God's grace is always available, reinforcing the idea that every fall can lead to growth and new beginnings.

🗡🛡 GOD'S WORD - ‭‭Micah‬ ‭7‬:‭8‬-‭9‬ ‭NLT‬‬

“Do not gloat over me, my enemies! For though I fall, I will rise again. Though I sit in darkness, the Lord will be my light. I will be patient as the Lord punishes me, for I have sinned against him. But after that, he will take up my case and give me justice for all I have suffered from my enemies. The Lord will bring me into the light, and I will see his righteousness.”

⚔️ When we fall into sin we are not beyond redemption! God is not surprised by our falls. Falling is embarrassing, but it's more disappointing when we stay down. Falling can lead to spiritual growth. When we fall we are not beyond redemption. God provides us with an advocate in Jesus Christ. Our failures don't have to define us. A heart of repentance is key to our restoration in God, because it's all about Him. Be willing to rise by God's power. Failure happens when we give up on God's purpose for our lives. Our perseverance is more important than our perfection in God, because perfection will gradually come as we continue to follow God through Jesus Christ. So, let's persevere, remembering that falling is not failure, but that not persevering in Jesus Christ, is.

SOUND BITES

"Falling is temporary."

"Falling is not failing."

"Keep getting back up."

🗡🛡 GOD'S WORD -‭‭ ‭‭‭‭‭‭John‬ ‭17‬:‭16‬-‭18‬ ‭KJV‬‬

“They are not of the world, even as I am not of the world. Sanctify them through thy truth: thy word is truth. As thou hast sent me into the world, even so have I also sent them into the world.”

⚔️ Are you a lover of God's truth? If so, it's time to get on and stay on His highway of holiness. This road is not congested, because most people are traveling on a different road hoping or believing that it will lead to life. But, according to God and Jesus Christ, it is a road to destruction. The road that leads to perdition, death, and hell is wide and anything is allowed on it. But, the road that leads to heaven, everlasting, and immortal life is a narrow road and only God's will is allowed on it. The worldly road is filled with sinful pleasures, but it is also filled with the high price tags of consequence and judgment. While the narrow road is filled with sacrifice and suffering, it is also filled with God's help, blessings, and rewards. So, we hope and pray that you would choose the truth - the road less traveled.

To God even Jesus Christ be the glory forever, amen! 🙌

🗡🛡 GOD'S WORD - ‭‭‭‭‭‭1 Thessalonians‬ ‭5‬:‭18‬ ‭KJV‬‬

“In every thing give thanks: for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus concerning you.”

SUMMARY

~ The Peace of Life: Embracing Challenges and Gratitude

~ Navigating Life's Peaks, Pits, and Plateaus

In this conversation, Brother Philip Laurence Thomas leads a discussion on the various aspects of life, emphasizing the importance of gratitude and perspective in navigating life's challenges. He introduces the metaphor of life as a heart monitor, illustrating the ups (peaks), downs (pits), and stable moments (plateaus) that everyone experiences. The conversation encourages listeners to embrace each phase of life, recognizing the lessons and growth that come from both struggles and successes, ultimately finding purpose through faith in Jesus Christ.

⚔️ The Ps of Life are the Pits, Peaks, and Plateaus of life, but find your Purpose through Jesus Christ. He is Purpose, and may we come, grow and continue in Him. The enemies of our souls will lead us to the dangers of The Ps of Life, but the Lover of our souls–our Heavenly Father and Jesus Christ–will lead us to the benefits so that our “whole spirit and soul and body be preserved blameless unto the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ.” So, let's not be complainers or ungrateful, but let's be thankful for the Pits Peaks and Plateaus of life!

SOUND BITES

"In everything give thanks."

"Pits are good, fellas."

"Choose to be thankful."

TAKEAWAYS

Life is inherently challenging and filled with ups and downs.

Gratitude is essential in every situation, whether in pits, peaks, or plateaus.

Pits teach humility, focus, and strength, and help us know God better.

Peaks represent success and pleasure but can lead to complacency if not managed.

Plateaus provide stability but can become monotonous if one stays too long.

Finding purpose in life is crucial for fulfillment and contentment.

The heart monitor metaphor illustrates the natural fluctuations of life.

Choosing to be thankful can transform our perspective on life's challenges.

God is always working with us, even in difficult times.

Life is a journey of learning and growth through various experiences.
