Sometimes We Talk Too Much

In Admonition by Aaron Cozort

Scripture:

Mark 15:3-5

Description:

Summary:

Jesus did not respond to his accusers and we should learn the lesson in this for us.

Scripture:

Mark 15:3-5 – And the chief priests accused Him of many things, but He answered nothing. Then Pilate asked Him again, saying, “Do You answer nothing? See how many things they testify against You!” But Jesus still answered nothing, so that Pilate marveled.

Transcript:

And now, Admonition…

Sometimes we say too much. That goes without saying. Sometimes we talk too often. There was a time in which Jesus said nothing. in Mark chapter 15, then Pilate asked him saying, do you answer nothing? He’s on trial and he’s giving no reply for their accusations. He says, Do you answer nothing? See how many things they testify against you? But Jesus still answered nothing. So that Pilate marveled. Here’s the governor of the people and he’s astonished that this man stands and says nothing.

Why can you say nothing when someone speaks against you? Let me encourage you to think about it this way. Jesus life spoke for him. Does yours?

Let Us Reason Together

In Admonition by Aaron Cozort

Scripture:

Isaiah 1:18

Description:

God exhorts us to reason with Him.

Transcript:

And now, admonition.

Reason, reason is a beautiful thing. To think and consider, to analyze, and to reason about something. It is a valuable tool, a valuable asset to any individual in their daily lives.

The Assurance of Hope

In Articles by Aaron Cozort

Titus 1:1-2 Paul, a bondservant of God and an apostle of Jesus Christ, according to the faith of God’s elect and the acknowledgment of the truth which accords with godliness, in hope of eternal life which God, who cannot lie, promised before time began. 

Paul opens this letter to Titus and reminds him of the acknowledgment of what God has promised in the hope of eternal life.  This hope is grounded in the assurance of God’s nature.  The certainty that God cannot lie.  God is not like the Devil, a liar from the beginning, for the Devil brought forth a message from himself.  Instead, Paul writes of eternal life that is assured because God cannot lie.  

Hebrews 6:10-12  For God is not unjust to forget your work and labor of love which you have shown toward His name, in that you have ministered to the saints, and do minister.  And we desire that each one of you show the same diligence to the full assurance of hope until the end, that you do not become sluggish, but imitate those who through faith and patience inherit the promises. 

God knows what each individual does on behalf of the Kingdom.  He knows the things that we suffer, the endeavors of labor, and love for the Christians and congregations. He knows those who have served and continue to serve.  

The Hebrew writer desires his readers continue on this path of diligent service until this guaranteed time when the promise is fulfilled.  There is a time — a moment — when the labors of ministry and confidence reach fulfillment.  

 

My hope is built on nothing less
Than Jesus’ blood and righteousness
I dare not trust the sweetest frame
But wholly lean on Jesus’ name  

When darkness hides His lovely face
I rest on His unchanging grace
In every high and stormy gale
My anchor holds within the veil 

His oath, His covenant, His blood
Support me in the whelming flood
When all around my soul gives way
He then is all my hope and stay 

When He shall come with trumpet sound
Oh may I then in Him be found
Dressed in His righteousness alone
Faultless to stand before the throne 

On Christ the solid Rock I stand
All other ground is sinking sand
All other ground is sinking sand

What Is Your Spiritual Foundation? – Admonition 190

In Admonition Podcast by Web Administrator

Description:

What is your spiritual foundation?  Jesus is to be your firm foundation.  He is to be the support for all your choices and service in this life.   Have you made Jesus the foundation of your life, or is your life crumbling beneath you?

Scripture: 

1 Corinthians 3:11 – For no other foundation can anyone lay than that which is laid, which is Jesus Christ.

Transcript:

Paul writes to the church at Corinth in first Corinthians chapter three verse 11, he says: For no other foundation can any one lay then that which is laid, which he is Christ Jesus. In your Christianity, if you are a Christian, is the foundation of your spiritual life, Jesus Christ? If you’re not a Christian, your foundation isn’t Jesus Christ. Your Foundation for your spiritual life is not the only one in whom there is hope in eternity.

May I plead with you, build a foundation, build a foundation that will actually last not a foundation of stone or rubble, not a foundation of straw that can burn. Not a foundation of wood that can be destroyed, but a foundation in Jesus Christ. How can you do that? You come to know Jesus Christ through his scripture. Start there.

The Ceremony That Killed Two Men

In Admonition by Aaron Cozort

Scripture:

Leviticus 10:1-10

Description:

Summary:

The sons of Aaron made a sinful choice because of a bad influence. Remove this bad influence from your life.

Scripture:

Leviticus 10:1-2, 9-10 Then Nadab and Abihu, the sons of Aaron, each took his censer and put fire in it, put incense on it, and offered profane fire before the LORD, which He had not commanded them. So fire went out from the LORD and devoured them, and they died before the LORD…. 9 “Do not drink wine or intoxicating drink, you, nor your sons with you, when you go into the tabernacle of meeting, lest you die. It shall be a statute forever throughout your generations, 10 “that you may distinguish between holy and unholy, and between unclean and clean,

Transcript:

And now Admonition…

Two men were invited to take part in the ceremony. They were invited to take part in the beginning of a ceremony that that would set and alter the course of an entire nation. And they didn’t live through the experience. Aaron had two sons names Nadab, and Abihu. He had four… those two we’re talking about, Nadab and Abihu were priests of God. They were supposed to offer fire and incense upon the altar and they didn’t do it properly. And do you know why? If you read Leviticus chapter 10 very carefully, you’ll find out why… they were drunk. They didn’t know the difference between one fire and another, and they put the wrong fire on the altar and God took their lives. Don’t drink.

A Case of Mistaken Identity

In Admonition by Aaron Cozort

Scripture:

1 John 3:1

Description:

Description:

The world might mistakenly think that it knows you, but if you love God, it is wrong.

Scripture:

1 John 3:1 – Behold what manner of love the Father has bestowed on us, that we should be called children of God! Therefore the world does not know us, because it did not know Him.

Transcript:

And now admonition brought to you by the Collierville Church of Christ.

Have you ever been approached by someone who didn’t know you and they thought they did? Came up to you and said, hi, good to see you, and you’re thinking, who? Who is this person? The world’s like that for a Christian. I’ll not that we don’t know people personally, but first John Chapter three verse one says, behold what manner of love the Father has bestowed on us that we should be called the children of God. Therefore, the world does not know us because it did not know him. Jesus Christ was an anomaly to the world. He was a contrast to the world. They didn’t understand them. They didn’t want to understand him. They rejected him and Jesus said, they hated me and they’ll hate you too. May I encourage you, be a stranger to the world in your daily life.

How You Should Treat One Another

In Admonition by Aaron Cozort

Scripture:

Ephesians 4:25

Description:

Description:

How you should treat one another. It is important to consider how you treat one another. Lying destroys your influence for God. Truth telling helps others to see God even when it is difficult.

Scripture:

Ephesians 4:25 – Therefore, putting away lying, “Let each one of you speak truth with his neighbor,” for we are members of one another.

Transcript:

The scripture admonishes us. Therefore putting away lying. Let each of you speak truth with his neighbor for we are members of one another. Have you ever given thought to that?

Have you ever given thought to the reality that you are a participant together with everyone around you, a participant together in obedience with God? And if you lie to someone, you hold them back from believing in God. You hold them back from obeying the truth. Why? Because you’ve destroyed your influence for the truth.

May I encourage you, speak the truth. Sometimes it’ll hurt, but the man of God speaks the truth even when it does hurt. This writer says, speak the truth.

Are You Standing? – Admonition 188

In Admonition Podcast by Web Administrator

Scripture: 

1 Corinthians 15:1-2 Moreover, brethren, I declare to you the gospel which I preached to you, which also you received and in which you stand, by which also you are saved, if you hold fast that word which I preached to you–unless you believed in vain.

Transcript:

Paul writes to the Corinthians in First Corinthians Chapter 15 verse one and he says this, Moreover, brethren, I declare to you the Gospel which I preached to you, which also you received. And here’s the key phrase in which you stand.

As we think about our lives, as we think about our religious lives, may I encourage you to always take this reality to heart. You have to stand for the Gospel. You have to stand with the Gospel. You have to stand behind the Gospel. If you are unwilling to stand in that which saved you, you will not stand up for the one who saved you.

Verse two says, By which also you are saved. May I ask you? Are you standing?

Summary:

Are you standing for the Gospel?  Are you standing with the Gospel?  Are you standing behind the Gospel?  If so, are you really stand up for God?  
1 Corinthians 15:1-2 – Standing in the Gospel is a part of the Christian life.  
Consider this admonition today.
