Matthew 7
Adam-
So this chapter to me is all about walking the walk. It's all about a persons actions over words. What I got out of this was from verse 15 where Jesus talk talks about false prophets. This is very relevant to us at GV because much of the debate between Kelsey and I (Adam) has been about how the church talks a good game but does not always practice the same lessons. I believe Jesus is condemning anyone using his name and words to raise themselves up in the eyes of other men. He goes on to preach that a person who hears his words and "walks the Jesus walk" is very wise in God's eyes. Back to last weeks blog where I said I suck at life. I understand what is asked of me and I know the rewards of obedience, so it comes down to putting myself in the position to stay out of tempting situations where it is easy to stray.
