We ought to help people learn how to love God and serve him better,
Paul says in Ephesians 4:29. Let no corrupt word proceed out of your mouth. But what is good for necessary edification that it may impart grace to the hearers.

When you think about how you live and how we are to live as Christians, if you’re a Christian, Paul says this to you in Ephesians four verse 29: Let no corrupt word proceed out of your mouth, but what is good for necessary edification?
What Paul’s saying there is, don’t allow your words that you speak to be those that influence people to do evil. Don’t allow your words to become those things that create corruption in other people’s lives. Think about that today.

How precious also are Your thoughts to me, O God! How great is the sum of them!

Who Were You Before Your Birth? – Admonition 282
Psalm 139:13-15 For You formed my inward parts; You covered me in my mother’s womb. I will praise You, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made; Marvelous are Your works, And that my soul knows very well. My frame was not hidden from You, When I was made in secret, And skillfully wrought in the lowest parts of the earth.
Transcript:
Who were you before you were born? I’m not saying that you lived a past life or you’ve been reincarnated or anything like that. I’m asking, were you “you” before you were born?
David writes in Psalms 139,
For You formed my inward parts; You covered me in my mother’s womb.
I will praise You, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made; Marvelous are Your works, And that my soul knows very well.
My frame was not hidden from You, When I was made in secret, And skillfully wrought in the lowest parts of the earth.
Did you know that? According to David, a baby in the womb is known by God and is already the person that God knows they will be?
How then could a Christian support abortion?

Deeds Done in the Dark – Admonition 281
Psalm 139:11-12 If I say, “Surely the darkness shall fall on me,” Even the night shall be light about me; Indeed, the darkness shall not hide from You, But the night shines as the day; The darkness and the light are both alike to You.
Transcript:
We read in John that Jesus says men desire to do their deeds in the dark because their deeds are evil. But they failed to recognize that they can’t hide their deeds from God.
David writes this in Psalms 139, If I say surely the darkness shall fall on me. Even the night shall be light about me. Indeed, The darkness shall not hide from you, but the night shines as the day. The darkness and the light are both alike to you.
God knows your deeds. Whether done in the light or done in the dark. God knows your deeds.
How are you living in view of God’s judgment today?

Psalm 139:9-10 If I take the wings of the morning, And dwell in the uttermost parts of the sea, Even there Your hand shall lead me, And Your right hand shall hold me.
Transcript:
When David writes in Psalms 139 concerning the fact that he could not escape the presence of God (though he didn’t want to) He also says this:
If I take the wings of the morning and dwell in the uttermost parts of the sea, even there, your hand shall lead me and your right hand shall hold me.

Can You Escape God? – Admonition 279
Psalm 139:7-8 Where can I go from Your Spirit? Or where can I flee from Your presence? If I ascend into heaven, You are there; If I make my bed in hell, behold, You are there.
Transcript:
And now, Admonition, brought to you by the Collierville Church of Christ.
Can a man escape from God? The answer is most certainly not, David writes in Psalms 139, where can I go from your spirit? Or where can I flee from your presence? If I ascend into heaven, you are there. If I make my bed in hell, behold, you are there…
David says. It doesn’t matter where I go in this life. I could go up in the sky. could go down into the grave. But God, either way, you’re there. If God is there and he is, how are you living in view of that fact.

What Changes Are Supposed To Happen When You Become A Christian?
What Changes Are Supposed To Happen When You Become A Christian?
By: Aaron Cozort
Change is natural when a child is born. So it is true for a Christian. A Christian is not to be born in the watery birth of baptism and then continue in their old lifestyle of sin and wickedness. A Christian’s washing of regeneration in baptism and renewing by the Spirit of God should result in a drastically different individual than before they died to sin (cf. Titus 3:5).
So what things are supposed to change when you become a Christian? One of them is your mind is supposed to change because the person living inside of you is supposed to change. Ephesians, Chapter four, Verse 23 says, “And be renewed in the spirit of your mind. And that you put on the new man which was created according to God in true righteousness and holiness.”
When a person is baptized into Christ, they die and they are resurrected again to a new life. They come up out of that water, a new person and they’re supposed to change. They’re supposed to think differently. Before baptism, a person might consider their lives to be without value. A person might think that this physical body is all that makes up their existence. After baptism (because it wasn’t to clean the physical body that they were baptized, but to cleanse the spiritual body) they should readily understand that they have a spirit (inner person) that is alive in addition to, and separate from, their body.
Before baptism, a person might consider their evil deeds to be of no great consequence. Especially if a person considered this physical existence to be all that there was to life, the consequences of committing wicked deeds or sins could never be any greater than death and the end of this physical life. Yet, the Scriptures make it clear that the end of this life is just the beginning of judgment. Hebrews 9:27 reads, “And as it is appointed for men to die once, but after this the judgment…”
2 Thessalonians 1:5-9 reads, “…since it is a righteous thing with God to repay with tribulation those who trouble you, and to give you who are troubled rest with us when the Lord Jesus is revealed from heaven with His mighty angels, in flaming fire taking vengeance on those who do not know God, and on those who do not obey the gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ. These shall be punished with everlasting destruction from the presence of the Lord and from the glory of His power…“
When you were baptized, did you come out and begin living a new life? Or did you go back to the old one — think about that today.
