Romans 6:17-21

¹⁷ But thanks be to God that, though you used to be slaves to sin, you have come to obey from your heart the pattern of teaching that has now claimed your allegiance. ¹⁸ You have been set free from sin and have become slaves to righteousness.

¹⁹ I am using an example from everyday life because of your human limitations. Just as you used to offer yourselves as slaves to impurity and to ever-increasing wickedness, so now offer yourselves as slaves to righteousness leading to holiness. ²⁰ When you were slaves to sin, you were free from the control of righteousness. ²¹ What benefit did you reap at that time from the things you are now ashamed of? Those things result in death!

Jonah- Navigating a Life Interrupted

This is a new category with my blog. As I work on my goal towards improving my Faith Walk; I thought it’d be something I could share. This is by no means an attempt to preach, thump, push, or recruit people for Christianity. It’s just me shuffling my way through life with Christ at my side. I am by no means perfect, I have many flaws of which people remind me of. Whether they’re believers or not, I can’t say because I simply don’t know. What I do know is that there is One who accepts us, One who will and does love us in spite of our flaws. He gave us free will to choose whether or not to follow Him; hoping that we would choose Him at the risk that we would not.

So now, I am sharing my journey through the Bible studies I experience. Some will be from the Sunday morning class at Southern Hills Baptist Church, Sioux City. Other studies will be independent ones recommended by church friends.

So far, I have a preference for Beth Moore studies but I’m only just beginning. On Sunday April 25, 2015 my class starts a new study. For me, it’s with a new teacher:

Philippians 2:3

Do nothing out of selfish ambition or vain conceit, but in humility consider others better than yourselves.

IMO

Whether you are a believer or not- there are passages in the Bible that just make sense. If you want to be a better human being, humility and common sense are keys.
