Just like homing pigeons have some way of always returning home, we as Christians have the Spirit that draws us back to God no matter how far away we may drift. Repentance is not only for the unbeliever, but also for us as believers, and we need to stop wherever we are and return to God.

We all make mistakes in our lives and we all need to turn to God and repent. True repentance starts with confession and continues with a changed mind and behavior.

It is important that we all, as leaders, listen to wisdom from others above us so that we can lead those who are following well. When we mess up, it is important to repent of our mistakes and apologize to the person or people that it has effected, especially God.

Jesus was the perfect sacrifice who silently took the punishment for our sins so that we can have a relationship with God. He gives us a perfect example of being silent when suffering comes because either God is sheering us from the fluff of our lives for His sake or He will defend us from what comes against us.

Rather than focusing on the difficulties we face when we stand up for Christ, we need to look back at the early Christians as examples and realize that we can take whatever is being dished out with God's help. He has called us to spread the Gospel to all the world, so in order to do and be what He has called us to we must let go of distractions and press on.

In Biblical times when a slave finished paying off their debt and were set free, they could choose to remain with their master, having an awl placed through their ear as a sign. Though trials and struggles will come, God has purpose in everything to make us holy and no one will take better care of us than Him. Christ's death paid our debt and we are made free, but God desires for us to choose to stay with Him as His slave because He takes such great care of us.

Our sin nature that we're born into puts our lives in a nosedive. We have the choice to continue that way, sinning all the more because we're going down anyway or lying to ourselves thinking that we can fix it on our own. The truth is that only Jesus can give us the power to fly, so we must turn nose up and allow Him to work in us and through us to live the life God intended for us to live.

The Bible is like a letter written to us by God, and we need to treat it as such a valuable letter that we read over and over to learn more about Him. None of it will make sense unless we ask Him to reveal Himself to us through the Scripture, and when He does we can help others learn about Him as well.

While it is important to study Scripture, we need to remember that God doesn’t want to use us because of all the great knowledge we can obtain but rather so that He gets the glory through us. If you are humble and willing to do whatever He asks, you are qualified to do His work.

We all have certain dates in our lives that are great dates to remember as well as difficult dates. Rather than allowing Satan to rule over those difficult dates, we must remember the Spirit that God has given us – of power, love and a sound mind – and reclaim those dates to give them to the Lord. Out of every date in our lives, the most important one of all is the date that we choose to follow Jesus, knowing that it is His blood that covers our lives with His grace and gives us salvation.

Leaven, or yeast, can be used for two different teaching analogies. It can represent evil in forms of added religion, complaining, disputing or disobedience where a little in one person can affect the whole Church. On the other hand, we as Christians are supposed to be leaven in the world, infecting the world in a good way for the Kingdom of God.
