Nim: Not me.

Nim: I feel more like an unfinished short story.

Romans 4:13 – Obedience

Obedience

Strong faith doesn’t come about because we’re obedient to God’s laws. Instead, obedience to God’s laws comes about because of a strong faith.

Clearly, God’s promise to give the whole earth to Abraham and his descendants was based not on his obedience to God’s law, but on a right relationship with God that comes by faith.

Romans 4:13

↓ Transcript
Nim: Professor Amos, my master and I are fighting lately.
Amos: Sounds like the two of you need a good obedience class.
Nim: I don't think so. We tried that last year and he was no more obedient coming out as he was going in.

Many of us need an "obedience to God" class!

On A Diet

On A Diet

Your body is the Temple for the Holy Spirit and represents the life God gave each of us. Don’t take such a precious gift for granted, take care of yourself.

Don’t you realize that your body is the temple of the Holy Spirit, who lives in you and was given to you by God? You do not belong to yourself, for God bought you with a high price. So you must honor God with your body.

1 Corinthians 6:19-20

↓ Transcript
Nim: Why am I on this stupid diet? It's not like it's a sin or anything to be fat!
Abby: Maybe it's not a sin, but it shows ingratitude to God for his gift of life. Plus, our bodies are the Temple of the Holy Spirit and should be kept as pure as possible.
Nim: Don't argue with me today, fuzzball! I may be small, but I'm hungry!

Look at what you do to excess and ask, "Is this interfering with my relationship with God?"
