In 1 Timothy 4:6-10 we see Paul highlighting the importance of godliness. Christians are to pursue godliness by nourishing themselves with God's Word, diligently striving to obey its commands, and recognizing the benefit of Godliness. This is all done with our hope set on the living God who has saved us in Christ Jesus. The post The Path to Pursuing Godliness appeared first on Caz Church.

In this lesson, Brother Singh asks us to imagine Jesus sitting in heaven and looking down on Earth for his body. He observes all hundreds of Christian denominations, each claiming to be the Body of Christ. In our fellowship, Gospel Assembly, which emphasizes correct doctrines, we are fond of exclaiming, 'We are glad God brought us to the Body.' Consider our natural bodies. We have two hands, but the right does not fight with the left; the head directs the body's actions.

The post Pursuing Godliness – 2 Peter 1:5-7 appeared first on Bear Creek Church.
This Sunday, our sermon was entitled “Pursuing Godliness.” Often, in the western world, we think of our spiritual lives as a private or personal matter between us and God. Nothing could be further from the truth. In the New Testament, our personal godliness is a crucial part of the church's mission to proclaim and to protect the truth of the gospel in a world in desperate need of Christ. This Sunday's message will be taken from 1 Timothy 6:6-19 and it is a postscript to our study on the letter of Ephesians. 1 Timothy was written by the apostle Paul to encourage the pastor of the church at Ephesus to remember how crucial the church is to the mission of God in the world. Paul writes, “I hope to come to you soon, but I am writing these things so that, if I delay, you may know how one ought to behave in the household of God, which is the church of the living God, the pillar and buttress of the truth” (1 Tim. 3:14-15). How we live as the church upholds or undermines the truth of God. As we enter the summer season, what is really on your priority list? Summer can be a great season for rest, growth, and spiritual recalibration. However, it is often a time when many Christians are tempted to drift, to let down their guard, or to become distracted. Be careful… not just for your own sake but also for the sake of others. Summer is a time for spiritual intentionality. Paul makes it clear that Christians need to make it their priority to pursue growth in godliness. Let's gather this Memorial Sunday and consider together how pursuing godliness ought to be at the top of our priority lists as gospel-loving, Christ-exalting Christians. Let's commit ourselves to a summer of growth in the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ! Looking forward to worshiping with you! In Christ, Kevin Dibbley, Senior Pastor

The Bible tells us that Satan comes disguised as an angel of light (see 2 Corinthians 11:14). It's the same with false teachers, who are often popular and well-spoken. Their messages resonate and seem to contain godly wisdom. But when compared with the Word of God, their promises ring hollow, and their path leads to disappointment and destruction. In today's devotional, Dr. Michael Youssef identifies what threatens our pursuit of godliness.If you would like more insight into today's devotional topic, listen to Dr. Michael Youssef's sermon Pursuing Godliness in a Godless World, Part 2: LISTEN NOW | WATCH NOW
Christian theologian J. I. Packer wrote in his book Keep in Step with the Spirit, “Modern Christians tend to make busyness their religion.” There are church services and Bible studies to attend, Sunday school classes to teach, mission trips to support, and community outreaches to organize. While all of these may be worthy pursuits, they won't bring us any closer to God or make us more like Him.

A few years ago, Jen Wilkin coined the term “celebratory failurism” to describe an acceptance of the thought that Christians will never be able to fully obey because of total depravity. Wilkin pushes back on that idea, and she and Mike Kruger discuss why there seems to be a misunderstanding on total depravity, legalism, and obedience to the law. They discuss the struggle between antinomianism (lawlessness) and pharisaical tendencies (lawfulness) and find that the relationship between law and grace is: obedience that pleases God has right motive combined with right action.
