121 | Is coveting with a pure heart Godly? | James 4:3 | The Disciple | 30012 | ||
Yes - agreed! What can we do for such possibilities ? Or what should we do ? Are we to go on letting our bretheren live in discontent? Or shall we try to help them understand what Paul tries to teach us in Phillipians 4:10-20? Surely he wasnt just speaking of mammon..? (see vs 17) Frankly, its disheartening to see our brothers believing a message of gain now and not so much later. *SHALOM* D |

Indy, (if i may call you that- one of my favorite movie heros), I enjoyed your explanation and your box of love. That is quite a LOVELY way to share the LOVE you have. I will try and remember your words for my 2 girls...whom I LOVE like you do yours. You are correct about our 'desire' and 'covet' having different meanings. Actually, that isnt the question being posed. Allow me to state it better or ask the question more clearly. Should we be purposefully looking for His Blessings FOR THE SAKE of getting them? In other words, finding formulae or principals in His word to help us recieve from Him? Are we to supposed to do good works now - for blessings later? (or is this something we should do anyway, because we are Christian) Jesus helps us to understand what our Motives should be in Matthew 6. But before we read Matt 6, Jesus is already teaching us in chapter 5. Notice the many areas of life He overshadows to let us see where our hearts should be. Motive is the heart of the issue, isnt it? If we desire HIS GIFTS solely for the sake of reaping rewards now or later, is this not coveting? I am not trying to say we shouldnt desire His blessings. What I am trying to say is, we shouldnt desire to reap - BECAUSE we have sown. That to me is a heart that covets. The Lord will Bless us BECAUSE we are His children. Matt 6:33, helps us to see where our hearts should be. ...help us Lord not to convolute your story... *shalom* D |

Thank You Nolan, I have used that Scripture for a foundation of why I do the things I do with all my brothers that ask why... Prayerfully they to will find themselves in His service in such a way. Lord Bless you always, D |

kalos, thank you for reassuring me that im not off *S* a song by a young group from South Africa..thier name is Tree 63. They sing a song that I feel best describes what it should be. The name of the song is What Can I Do? "What can I do for you my Lord... it's not a question of what you can do for me... What can I do for you my Lord." Our younger generation is hearing words like this and making me feel very good about what they are understanding. Blessings my friend, D |
