If you have an unresolved issue (KJV: ought) with anyone, fix it! Why be angry? Why hold grudges? And why not work it out so you can live in harmony with each other? Living in harmony is pleasant; it is precious and refreshing.

Bible studies and lessons. Sound Truth Ministry Bible study-lessons are the primary focus of this online ministry. That is because we must spend time in God’s Word to help us develop and grow to maturity.
Jealous People Cause Trouble, Worry, Hatred, And Bad Outcomes
A jealous person is not happy with what they have. If they do not change their future is grim. Use self-control, Godly wisdom, and be happy with your life.
Sedition: Unity Is Wonderful, But Conflict Is Not Good!
Pressure from changing societal norms has impacted the body of Christ. As society bends to accept trends, so do the people of God. It seems that worldliness is overtaking godliness. Even church leaders are becoming more worldly!
The Comforter is the Holy Spirit; Your Helper Forever
The Comforter calms, lifts you up, and gives support. He is there in times of sorrow and hardship. Put your faith in The Comforter to remove worry and fear. That is just some of what our Comforter—the Holy Spirit—will do. Will you let The Comforter comfort you?
Animosity: The Best Cure For This Hatred Is Love
Animosity is violent hatred; active, intense hostility; open enmity. Get rid of hatred and enmity before it grows into animosity, a quality not pleasing to God. Remember, the best cure for animosity, hatred, and enmity is love! Please continue to allow the Scriptures and the Spirit of God to guide you.
Endurance: You Can Go Through Whatever You’re Going Through
Whatever obstacles, issues, or situations you encounter, you can go through anything if you apply both patience and endurance. Just keep going. So do not be like the children of Israel; do not complain or give up; go through it.
Personal Responsibility Alert; Warning, You Are in God’s Spotlight!
Continue to accept personal responsibility, because God will hold you accountable for what you do in this life. The Scriptures give an example in Ezekiel 18, it begins with a proverb ‘The fathers have eaten sour grapes, and the children’s teeth are set on edge’. The child will no longer be held responsible or accountable for the sins of the parent [see Ezekiel 18:1-4].
Greed: God’s Children Should Not Be Greedy, Are You?
Greed should not be part of the Christian character. God has promised His obedient children an inheritance that will last forever. Do not lose yours!
Law to Grace; Not Under Law Now Under Grace
Going from the Law to grace is not easy to understand. The Law required works and strict observance of ceremonies, rituals, and special days. Under grace, you are set free from ceremonies, rituals, and the observance of special days. Jesus fulfilled (completed) the demands (requirements) of the Law and came to give us God’s gift of grace.
Do Not Give Up, God’s Spirit Is Now Within!
Do not give up is a five-part Bible study created for those going through trying times. No matter how hard things are you can make it; God is with you.
Christian Life; A Life in Christ Full of Love
Living a Christian life is worth every struggle and hardship. Know that you are part of a Spiritual family that has an inheritance of eternal life. It is the promise of our Father in heaven. Cherish your life, i.e. your Christian life, and make good changes as you grow.
True Worship Is Not Tradition, But What Pleases God!
Never did I stop to ask God what He required; I know you are not like that—self-righteous—guy I used to be. My ‘church’ experience was attending every service, three to four times a week, with no such thing as timed services (a set time to end our worship service). We were Acts 2:38 ‘holy-rollers’ and knew we were pleasing God in our manner of worship.
Solve Unanswered Prayers With This Amazing 3-part Bible Study
The experience of unanswered prayers can frustrate even the best Christian. I often think of the relationship I had with my children and the times they asked for something knowing they were disobedient or had repeated a request that I already answered. Yes, you guessed it; I either would not answer or I would tell them to leave my presence.
Spiritual Attitude; The Right Mindset Is “I Can Do”
Embrace your Spiritual nature. Allow the Lord to renew your mind with the right mindset. Pursue the right way of acting and thinking. Take on each task with an ‘I can do’ attitude and start doing right/good. Most of all maintain this positive Spiritual attitude with the help of the Lord.
Joyful; Endure Your Life Tests; Be Full Of Joy!
As we mature naturally and spiritually we learn to not let the small things cause us to fall apart. I find it may take a moment to collect my thoughts and pull it together but the Spirit helps to bring that joyful laughter at the thought that something tried to take my joy. Yes, I have learned to laugh and rejoice when faced with the cares of this world that before would have caused a negative response.
