Life Lessons

v. 19f  We should be flexible in our witnessing to other folks about Jesus, seeking to find some commond gound.  Consider some ways you might apply that in your sharing of the faith with other folks.   v. 23  Good motto for us all is: "Spread the Good News & Share in its blessings!"  v. 24f  Paul says, "I run with purpsoe."  That purpose is what?  Now we must ask ourselves, is that my purpose in life?  What is the evidence of that in my life?  16:1  Here is another evidence of how the Apostle Paul ties the Old Testament message to the New Testament message.  Remember that phrase we've used before regarding the Bible: "The New is in the Old concealed; the Old is in the new revealed!"  v. 6  A warning - when is it proper to warn when sharing the Gospel?  v. 12  Temptations come to us all.  Remember, God is faithful.  How and when have you sensed that?  v. 13  Here's a good verse to memorize.  The Lord's protective hand is over us in all our life.  When we are tempted - look!  There is a way out!!  Provided by our God!
