In this episode we look in the mirror and ask ourselves the question of whether we love the glory that comes from man or the glory that comes from God more.Scriptures referenced:John 12:36-43Matthew 6:1-18Matthew 23:5-7Matthew 5:14-16Acts 4:23-31; 13:1-3Psalm 127:1Matthew 23:11-12John 15:5James 4:6Luke 14:7-11Matthew 28:18-20Luke 6:26John 15:18-20Psalm 115:1Mark 10:42-45Psalm 51:1-2, 7, 10Galatians 1:10**CORRECTIONS**When quoting John 12:38, I accidentally added the word "has" where it wasn't. It didn't affect the meaning, but here is the verse verbatim: "so that the word spoken by the prophet Isaiah might be fulfilled: 'Lord, who has believed what he heard from us, and to whom has the arm of the Lord been revealed?'"When quoting Psalm 115:1 I accidentally omitted the word "your" once. It doesn't change the meaning, but here is the verse correctly: "Not to us, O Lord, not to us, but to your name give glory, for the sake of your steadfast love and your faithfulness!"Feel free to email the podcast at ijustwanttotalkabout@gmail.com, and we will respond as soon as we are able!I WANT TO BE DISCIPLEDI am on staff with another ministry called Mentoring Men for the Master (M3).

This doesn't change the meaning, but here are the verses verbatim: "Therefore remember that at one time you Gentiles in the flesh, called “the uncircumcision” by what is called the circumcision, which is made in the flesh by hands—remember that you were at that time separated from Christ, alienated from the commonwealth of Israel and strangers to the covenants of promise, having no hope and without God in the world."One of the times I quoted Luke 9:48, I accidentally added the word "the". It didn't change the meaning, but here is that part of the verse exactly, "For he who is least among you all is the one who is great.”Feel free to email the podcast at ijustwanttotalkabout@gmail.com, and we will respond as soon as we are able!I WANT TO BE DISCIPLEDI am on staff with another ministry called Mentoring Men for the Master (M3).

In this episode we wrap up the brief series on abiding in Christ.Summary of part 1:What are we commanded to do in John 15? We are commanded to abide in Christ.What are the results of abiding in Christ? Bearing fruit (vv. 4-5), answered prayer (v. 7), overabundant joy (v. 11), and intimacy with the Lord (v. 10).How do we abide in Christ? By meditating upon His Word (v.7), and by obedience (v. 10).Key takeaways from part 2:If we are not obeying, then we are not abiding.Obedience leads to intimacy. If we want our relationship with Jesus to be vibrant and living, then we need to be obeying Him.This leads to the need of consistent and immediate repentance of any known sin in our lives.Generally speaking, as believers we often take the sin in our lives far too lightly.Quotes that I used in this week and last:"It does not matter what your personal deficiency, or whether it be a hundred and one different things, God has always one sufficient answer, His Son Jesus Christ, and He is the answer to every need." - Watchman Nee"God is not seeking a display of my Christ-likeness, but a manifestation of His Christ." - Watchman Nee"You have made us for Yourself, O Lord, and our heart is restless until it finds its rest in You." - Augustine"When you ignore God's instructions, do not expect to receive His blessing." - One of the pastors from my church"Do not wait for the hour of evening prayer, nor even for the opportunity of being alone, but in the busy street, in the midst of daily toil, lift up your heart to Christ if you have done wrong, and say: 'I have gone astray...'" - F. B. Meyer"It is not the nature of sin to remain in a fixed state. Like decaying fruit, it grows more rotten. The man who is bad today will be worse tomorrow." - Charles Spurgeon**CORRECTIONS/CLARIFICATIONS**I said, "Jesus, knowing that all things had been placed under their feet, got down and washed theirs." I meant to say, "Jesus, knowing that all things had been placed under HIS feet, got down and washed theirs."When I quoted John 20:31 I slightly changed some of the verbiage unintentionally. It doesn't affect the meaning of the text at all, but I wanted to post the verse here: "...but these are written so that you may believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God, and that by believing you may have life in his name."I was speakinFeel free to email the podcast at ijustwanttotalkabout@gmail.com, and we will respond as soon as we are able!I WANT TO BE DISCIPLEDI am on staff with another ministry called Mentoring Men for the Master (M3).
