"Therefore, having been justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom also we have access by faith into this grace in which we stand, and rejoice in hope of the glory of God." Romans 5:1-2
Romans 12:1-5 Therefore I urge you, brethren, by the mercies of God, to present your bodies a living and holysacrifice, acceptable to God, which is your spiritualservice of worship. And do not be conformed to thisworld, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, so that you may provewhat the will of God is, that which is good and acceptable and perfect. For through the gracegiven to me I say to everyoneamong you not to thinkmorehighly of himself than he ought to think; but to thinkso as to havesoundjudgment, as God has allotted to each a measure of faith. For just as we havemanymembers in onebody and all the members do not have the samefunction, so we, who are many, are onebody in Christ, and individuallymembersone of another.It may be a new year, but our Father and Lord Jesus Christ remain the same! What a joy that He never changes. Romans 12 is a special portion of Scripture to me. May you be blessed by the Word! ♥ Streim
I know Pastor J. Seems there are far too many in our ‘churches’ tossing sound judgement out the window along with sound doctrine.
Thanks for stopping by. Blessings

You are right. Sometimes I am tempted to do a little tossing myself and then I remember the long haul not the short. We are all tempted by the allure of short term treasure.
I was just meditating on these verses yesterday. The portion about having sound judgment is gripping me today.
