I appreciate the reminder that it needs to be a practice. Never to be perfected, always pursuing a closer proximity to Jesus.

Amazing teaching, Robert, and indeed convicting :/
Just one quibble - if we imitate Jesus and behave as he asked, we still will not be liked by some. Jesus did all those things and many hated him! Today even you would be heckled and shouted at on college campuses and other places just for speaking the truth.
I'm not criticizing you, but I think it's important that Christians understand that no matter what we do, many will dislike us and oppose us.
Love you and God bless you!

Thanks Pastor for this amazing Spirit led Word. This Former 10yr 3 SuperBowl Ballplayer “the old me” was that fake Christian back during my career. Blessed to be saved the last 10yrs. Even saying NO when I 1st got saved to possibly being a Pastor because of what the Word says about a New Believer. Now being in ministry it’s not about me but about others as I do daily at America’s Rehab Campuses morning Bible Study. I’m sharing your message with clients this week. YOU TEACH SOUND DOCTRINE, RIGHTLY DIVIDING THE WORD OF GOD
