If we keep ourselves busy doing good, we will as a result bear good fruit.<br /><br />I also relate to 3:10 about rejecting divisive people after the first and second admonition. Thas has come up a few times in the readings and it has helped me with a personal situation. It's a God thing :)Carol Floreshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05371996673049353163noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6926245050623680380.post-4544873628674368382011-08-15T18:06:52.792-04:002011-08-15T18:06:52.792-04:00So if we don't waste our time in those negativ...So if we don't waste our time in those negative pursuits, he tells us in 3:14 what we should spend our time doing. "Learn to devote themselves to doing what is good, in order that they may provide for daily necessities and not lead unproductive lives." So we work hard at doing good, not because it is our way to salvation, but because it brings purpose to our lives. <br />God, show me the good I need to be doing and help me to avoid the controversies, arguments and quarrels that waste my time!marynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6926245050623680380.post-6971065255348721352011-08-15T13:55:53.353-04:002011-08-15T13:55:53.353-04:00This verse was the one that pulled me in today... ...This verse was the one that pulled me in today... <i>To the pure, all things are pure, but to those who are corrupted and do not believe, nothing is pure.</i> Maybe it ties into yesterday's sermon... my heart condition... if I let bad things into my heart, bad things come back out. I don't want a bad heart with bad results... I want a pure heart! And a pure heart will produce pure actions... all things will be pure! My heart got a little cleansing lately... I let Jesus show me what needed purification in my life (and in my heart). Although, it took me a while to finally hand it over to him, I did, and it feels so much better! Lord, continue to show me what other parts of my heart need your purifying touch!Lindsayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00449407442914548075noreply@blogger.com
