Time Changer, Facing the Giants, The Widows Might,  and The Secrets of Jonathan Sperry

   The titles mentioned in the heading of today’s thought are great movies which I encourage you to either buy a copy of or find one to borrow. Also, please pray for these production companies and others like them to continue to be able to make a godly impact on the American culture.

Thought 242: We must be an Example from Ryan's devotional book series Thoughts

Thought 242

We must be an Example

 God calls us to be an example. Young adults, I believe that you have a special opportunity to be such an example. Check out this verse: “Let no man despise thy youth; but be thou an example of the believers, in word, in conversation, in charity, in spirit, in faith, in purity (1 Timothy 4:12 KJV).” This verse lays out The Timothy Commission—

To portray the proper example we have proper character, and character is formed by our personal habits.

Questions and Thoughts

P Are you making the right choices?

P Do you have the right kind of habits?

P Great men fall because of the little stuff—it isn’t all big; everything starts out as something small.

P  Your habits are formed by your choices.

Thought 241: Porn from Ryan's devotional book series Thoughts

Thought 241

Porn

  I have read many articles and testimonies from boys and men that have battled with this ugly monster. But let me assure you, most of the things that I have learned; any wisdom that my soul might now cling to, has come from using the gifts of my ears and eyes to listen and to read and using my mind to muse over something and consider the matter. God is the only way out of an addiction to pornography.

 God accepts me despite my failures and despite all my sins and all my miserable shortcomings. If He can accept me, one of the worst sinners, then He can accept you as well.

 If you struggle with the sin of pornography, first recognize that you cannot be free in your own strength, but the Lord’s Spirit in you can give you the power to become free. Believe—have faith—that the Lord will free you from this. It is not His will for you to stay in sin and if you are willing He will delight in helping you out.

 Read these Scriptures and stand on their promises—memorize them, know them, quote them when temptation comes: 1 Thessalonians 4:3-5, Ephesians 5:3-4, 1 Thessalonians 4:3, Psalm 24:3-4, James 1:12-16, Psalm 119:9-11, Philippians 4:13, James 4:7-8, Matthew 1:21,   Hebrews 2:17-18, 1 John 2:14, Psalm 101, Job 31:1, 2 Timothy 2:20-21, 1 Cor. 10:13
