Can God point you to Satan as a pure person?God looks for men and women in an evil world who keep themselves pure, responding to anger with forgiveness and hatred with love.
The grave responsibility of hearing truthJust as a company expects a greater return from someone entrusted with more money, God requires more from those who hear deeper spiritual truths.
God's final end for JobGod allowed Job to suffer loss and trials to bring him to the place of seeing his own insignificance and repenting in dust and ashes.
The three steps of humility in ChristSpiritual growth means going lower and lower, following Christ who humbled Himself from God to man, to a slave, and finally to a criminal's death on a cross.Philippians 2:5
God's wonderful forgiveness and blotted-out recordsAlthough Job spoke out of turn in his pain, his immediate repentance meant God wiped out the bad and remembered only the good in his record.
Having no confidence in the fleshCircumcision in the Old Testament points to the spiritual reality of cutting off all self-confidence and realizing we can do nothing apart from Christ.
Faithfulness at home and work is what mattersJesus pleased the Father for thirty years in His home and carpentry shop without preaching sermons or casting out demons, proving that Monday through Saturday living is what truly counts.
Depending entirely on the Father's promptingsJesus stated that the Son can do nothing of Himself unless He sees the Father do it, living by every word that proceeds from God rather than human initiative.
Following Jesus in financial integrityFollowing the example of Jesus, the church avoids passing offering bags or sending reports soliciting money, trusting God entirely to provide for needs.
Never acting like a beggarAs children of the King of the universe, believers should never give people the impression that they are in desperate need or ask men for money.
Accepting inconvenience without complaintWhen nobody invited Jesus to stay, He spent the night on the Mount of Olives without complaint, showing believers how to live without demands on others.
A final call to surrender and forgiveThe speaker concludes by urging everyone to forgive those who have hurt them, get down to the place of zero, and resolve to walk as Jesus walked.
