#pursuingholiness

Flattery is the handiwork of Spiritual Pride. It tickles the ears and feeds the ego. Honor that is sincere is not communicated in words but is bestowed by favor. A favor which comes from God alone and not mere men. Be careful that you are not caught up by flattering tongues. • • A man who flatters his neighbor is spreading a net for his steps. {Proverbs 29:5} • • A saint may find mastery over their bodily passions in true obedience but the pride of life is always a lion waiting ravenously by the door. Stay true to the Lord’s plans for you and do not forsake your authentic calling for the pride of man. • • For am I now seeking the approval of man, or of God? Or am I trying to please man? If I were still trying to please man, I would not be a servant of Christ. {Galatians 1:10} #pursuingholiness #thebiggestlie #discipleship #sanctification #saintwisdom #coffeewithjesus #coffeewithsaints #recalibrate https://www.instagram.com/p/BqaQiVrH4Nx/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1nuo0ytun8anq

It’s the same with God. That’s why obedience is the key to holiness. Consistency builds character and strengthens emotions. It tells the people around you they can count on you no matter if you’re having a bad day or a good one. God is consistent. We’re called to be like Him. Get to church. • • Take your love deeper than your feelings can go. You are more than your feelings. #reallove #morethanafeeling #pursuingholiness #obedience #deliverance #realfreedom #notrules #notreligion #hope #belief #followHisway #Heknowswhathesdoing #trustHim https://www.instagram.com/p/BqUtKZoH-Ip/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=dz6gpo2l8er1
