"Do not be deceived, God is not mocked; for whatever a man sows, this he will also reap" (Gal. 6:7).  In this message, Dr. Stanley examines King David’s life, delivering a sobering lesson about the consequences of our behavior. Just as it did for David, the principle of sowing and reaping still bears out in our lives today. Since God's ultimate goal is that we be conformed to the image of His Son Jesus, He will use even the most dire consequences to mold us into His likeness. Take care what you sow, but also trust God to use everything—even your failures—to reap a harvest of righteousness.

Oftentimes, we judge another person's spirituality by a set of rules we have established ourselves. Then, when someone doesn't live up to our standard, we say, "Well, they may be saved, but they surely aren't very spiritually minded." In this message, Dr. Stanley explains how a successful walk of faith is the result of willingly submitting to God’s will and staying in a right relationship with Him. Any other way is based on human effort and pride and only serves to takes our focus off of Christ.

All of us fall into one of two categories: those who have been captured by the philosophy of the world or those who have been made complete in Christ. In this message, Dr. Stanley describes these two types of people and the vastly different consequences of each worldview. We encounter worldly perspectives every day that tell us we must live in a certain neighborhood or do this or that to find fulfillment. But these efforts are made in vain and depend upon an unhealthy, legalistic spirit. All we truly need is Christ. That is it. Live faithfully according to this truth, and you’ll never go wrong.

Dr. Charles Stanley

September 25, 1932 – April 18, 2023
