Wig’s Word of God Today 11-8-2010
Be on your guard! If your brother sins, rebuke him; and if he repents, forgive him. Luke 17:3
Titus 1:1-9, Psalm 24:1b-2, 3-4ab, 5-6 & Luke 17:1-6
How far have you gone in your surrender to Christ? Paul reminds us he is a slave to the Truth here in Titus as he explains to Titus how to go about selecting presbyters and bishops. You may lie to yourself about your surrender to Christ but God knows your heart and will judge accordingly. Let us hold fast to the true message centered in Christ and share the Gospel with the world as true Apostles of Christ Jesus. As humans, I believe we long to see the face of the Lord as Psalm 24 sings to us. However, you will need to be someone “whose hands are sinless, whose heart is clean, who desires not what is vain.”
Just as the tax collector in Luke 18 stated in church beating his chest saying, “O God, be merciful to me a sinner,” Christ tells us here in Luke 17 that inevitably everyone is going to sin. It is what we do with our lives after we sin that produces a person of repentance who follows the Truth of Christ by practice, prayer and proclamation. Jesus reminds us to forgive those who seek forgiveness and increase your faith by your actions in faith, hope, charity and love. When you love your love of Christ, you forgive your enemies keeping a clean heart to receive His Eternal Promise.
And so we pray: Heavenly Father, we pray today to always be able to forgive, to always be able to share Your Son’s Truth and to always have faith to accomplish Your Will. May our lives be centered on Your Glory Lord. In Jesus Name we pray. Amen.
God Bless,

Romans 8:28
Salvation to Those Who Choose
Faith in the sake of Christ
Truth bounded by love
Proclamation of His Salvation
Through God in Heaven above
Be blameless in Him
See the Truth in what you do
Void of rebellion
Hospitable Christian so true
A people who long to see Your face
Who established the seas so blue
A clean heart to show for
The standing in front of you
Beware not to cause the little ones to sin
Guard your soul through and through
Your faith will be increased
Salvation to those who choose
