Keep away from them_ . _For such people are not serving our Lord Christ, but their own appetites. By smooth talk and flattery they deceive the minds of naive people._ ..... _to the only wise God be glory forever through Jesus Christ! Amen._ ‭    *DISCUSSION*  Romans 16 is often overlooked because it seems like just a list of greetings and names....

  We bless God for another opportunity to learn at His feet today. Yesterday, we learnt about the topic "Kingdom Living:". As we proceed in the word of God today, may we be blessed in Jesus' name. Amen. Scripture for Today: Romans 15:1-13  Key Verses: Romans 15: 3, 7 and 13.NIV‬  _For even Christ did not please himself but, as it is written: “The insults of those who insult you_ _have fallen on me.”_  _Accept one another,_ _then, just as Christ_ _accepted you, in order to_ _bring praise to God._  _May the God of hope fill_ _you with all joy and_ _peace as you trust in_ _him, so that you may_ _overflow with hope by_ _the power of the Holy_ _Spirit_ . ‭  DISCUSSION Paul reminds us here that the Christian life is not about pleasing ourselves, but about bearing with others in love. Just as Christ did not live to please Himself, we too are called to consider others before ourselves. This is not weakness—it is strength modeled after Jesus, who carried our burde...

  We bless God for another beautiful day. Yesterday, we learnt about the topic "Living In Harmony Under God’s Lordship". As we proceed in the word of God today, may we be blessed in Jesus' name. Amen. Scripture for Today: Romans 14:13-23 NIV‬ ‭ _Therefore_ _let us stop passing judgment on one another. Instead, make up your mind not to put any stumbling block or obstacle in the way of a brother or sister. I am convinced, being fully persuaded in the Lord Jesus, that nothing is unclean in itself. But if anyone regards something as unclean, then for that person it is unclean. If_ _your brother or sister is distressed because of what you eat, you are no longer acting in love. Do not by your eating destroy someone for whom Christ died. Therefore do not let what you know is good be spoken of as evil. For the kingdom of God is not a matter of eating and drinking, but of righteousness, peace and joy in the Holy Spirit, because anyone who serves Christ in this way is pleasing t...

We bless God for another beautiful day. Yesterday, we learnt about the topic "Awake, Arise, and Shine For Christ". As we proceed in the word of God today, may we be blessed in Jesus' name. Amen. Scripture for Today: *Romans 14:1-12 NIV‬*   _‭Accept the one whose faith is weak, without quarreling over disputable matters. One person’s faith allows them to eat anything, but another, whose faith is weak, eats only vegetables. The one who eats everything must not treat with contempt the one who does not, and the one who does not eat everything must not judge the one who does, for God has accepted them. Who are you to judge someone else’s servant? To their own master, servants stand or fall. And they will stand, for the Lord is able to make them stand. One person considers one day more sacred than another; another considers every day alike. Each of them should be fully convinced in their own mind. Whoever regards one day as special does so to the Lord. Whoever eats meat does s...

The night is nearly over; the day is almost here. So let us put aside the deeds of darkness and put on the armor of light. Let us behave decently, as in the daytime, not in carousing and drunkenness, not in sexual immorality and debauchery, not in dissension and jealousy.Rather, clothe yourselves with the Lord Jesus Christ, and do not think about how to gratify the desires of the flesh._    DISCUSSION     Paul reminds us here that the time is short and we must live with urgency. Each day brings us closer to the return of Christ, and this a...
