Tools to Help Christians - Part 3

  you must have sincerity in all that you do because sincerity is the basis of honesty and honesty teaches us the ways of God 

 you must be authentic; the way God made you. You must meditate on the Bible to be who God made you to be; not who society thinks you can be; not who your alter ego wants you to be; but the person God truly calls you to be each day 
 work hard and try your best every day to work at the job God gave you; be it seemingly important or unimportant 
 what is also important is that the work be honest. What do I mean by honest? Whether you’re digging ditches in the hot sun or doing computer work in the shade, that you should work until the job is done; taking breaks as needed. We don’t work with stolen tools and if we have a job where we need to clock in and out, we are honest about how much time we spent working; meaning we are honest with our time and can be trusted to get the job done, and be trusted to take only what we earned from doing the job
 work from the heart. Do every job whether it be digging ditches, working in an ice cream shop, working on the computer, or even making art as if you are doing it for the Lord, not for men because you might work for men for a paycheck, but working for the Lord is what counts. Yes, you need a paycheck to feed your family. But you need to do the job well, whether your boss is watching or not because the Lord's always watching. Do the job honestly and properly with the tools given you.

 obedience. True, sincere, authentic, obedience is good, but true obedience comes from the heart; obedience needs sincerity
 grace, but not as a license to sin, but to help us be more obedient. More power to follow the teachings of Jesus each day. Grace to help us be more kind, compassionate, truthful, loving, and caring. We need grace without sin. Let us ask the Lord Jesus Christ for grace and also ask for grace from mother Mary, our true mother 
 recognize Christ as King because only by recognizing Jesus is King and Mary as Queen will our world get better because Jesus and Mary are King and Queen of the universe
 anything connected to the Bible; why because when we show people what Jesus taught, we understand Jesus, wanted us to be compassionate, kind, etc., and we need great kindness and compassion to carry out what he taught 
prayer because only through prayer will we get the strength to carry out Jesus’s teachings; and the grace to carry his cross 

Amen

Tools to Help Christians - Part 2

  truth, the truth about God, the truth about men because kindness and compassion involves telling people the truth, even when it seems inconvenient for you or them

 you need true undivided love for God and also for men
 respect for everybody on the planet, no matter what you feel about their way of life or what you think they can change; you need respect no one will listen to a Christian who does not respect non-believers. We need to respect people, not their choices not their lifestyles, but respect them as a person  
 devotion to Christ to change the world because true devotion to Jesus and Mary is what the devil hates 
 Faithfulness in all you think, say, and do shows that we are honest and when we are honest people will want to follow Christ 
 honesty telling the truth is very important to a Christian life no matter how inconvenient the truth for you or other people; we must tell people the truth with great love in our hearts for our Savior 
 we must be responsible to do the work we are given by God 
 accountability, because each person whether a sinner or saint is accountable to God for their actions; those actions that they do in public and in private. If we are given much then we will be accountable for much; if we are getting little, we shall have little to account for, but people who are mentally ill or people who don’t know what they’re doing either because they don’t understand the word of God or are too young to understand or for some other reason, we know that God loves you and know that God is just. We know that God is kindness and compassion. Knowing this we should have a heart that wants to be accountable to him. We should ask God every day to help us do the right thing; meaning what is right just and fair. 
 we must trust God. We also want people to trust us with our word. Trust is important for society to function properly. Families need trust too. Without trust nothing gets done that needs to get done if we don’t trust others. We need to be able to trust those who we rely on like our teachers, our nurses, our doctors, our parents, etc. and if we cannot trust them, we will not be safe as a society.
 justice for everybody on the planet. Justice gives people what they are rightly due; sometimes that is good sometimes that is bad, because when we do good things, we should be rewarded. When we do evil we should be punished. This world is not perfect and we can only do so much as true Christians to fix the world, but I have given you a comprehensive toolbox of tools you can use to fix the world by learning to meditate on the teachings of Jesus, the life is Jesus, the death of Jesus, and the resurrection of Christ. You can by living out his teachings change the world one day, one choice at a time.

Amen

But what tools are available to help people live a godlier Christian life

Live With the True Mind of Jesus

My dear Jesus,

Let the world be fixed

With your everlasting and true love.

Your Holy compassion is ever joyful

The kindness of our Savior, Jesus,

Brings delight and love to this world

That all people may come to be ever closer to God,

Our true heavenly father

Oh, Jesus, open up the doors of compassion,

Show us how true kindness and

Having a deep and pure heart and mind

Can help us live what Jesus taught

Jesus, the true everlasting Lamb of God

Give us the grace and power

We need to live out his teachings

And keep us from sin

When we live with the true mind of Jesus

We become closer to God

the source of life, love,

Light, kindness, and compassion

Amen

True Obedience Requires Authenticity

True obedience requires authenticity 

and sincerity above all else

Yes, carrying out an order
Is a type of obedience

But is it true obedience? 

We can nod our heads all we want

Say yes, ma’am,
And yes, sir, until our lips are blue,

But true obedience lies in the heart,
not our speech.

No matter how seemingly respectful

Parents teach their kids from a young age,

Do they teach them that true obedience

Lives in the heart,
Not on their lips

We must not obey our creator half-heartedly

Half-hearted obedience

Is not true obedience

Anything less than true obedience
Is disobedience.

Amen

Jesus, Our Healer and Teacher

Let Jesus be both
Our teacher and healer

Because he will not heal those

Who do not want it,

And he will not teach those

Who do not wish to be his students.

But we need him

to be both healer and true teacher

If we want to enter heaven,

We need his teachings,

His medicine and his  blood

to be spiritually pure

But let not the blood of Jesus

be used to excuse our sin

because we must
Never sin deliberately

And use his blood

As an excuse for our sin,

For his blood and his teachings

Must work together

To keep us free from sin

Amen
