Peter warns us to be aware of people that “ are the kind who worm their way into homes and gain control over gullible women, who are loaded down with sins and are swayed by all kinds of evil desires, always learning but never able to come to a knowledge of the truth.” 2 Timothy 3:6-7 Get this full teaching and learn how to live after God’s own heart, on Debbie’s YouTube Channel.

We are so very thankful for the GRACE God extends We are so very thankful for the GRACE God extends to us. We should thank Him for it daily. We should also be obedient to change our behavior when sin is revealed in our lives. The good news is, we do not have to do it alone. Call on the Lord, who gives us power through the Holy Spirit, to change. Hallelujah! If you are looking for ways to grow your relationship with the Lord and be better equipped, please check out Debbie's Bible Studies. Her 1st Peter Study is a great place to start if you're wondering how to experience Grace and Peace in the midst of cultural chaos. #debbietaylorwilliams #hillcountryministries #wordbeforeworld #prayer #Godlovesyou #hope #encouragement #christianblogger #christianspeaker #1peter #biblestudy
Perhaps one of the most glaring sins is selfishnes Perhaps one of the most glaring sins is selfishness. We want what we want. We want it when we want it. Things or people who stand in our way frustrate us. But what if sin didn’t exist? What if we were free of sin? The good news is that day awaits us. Because of Christ, our Savior and victor over death, we will one day be sin-free. As 1 Corinthians 15:57 reminds us, “…thanks be to God, who gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.” Gives. Us. Victory. We will one day experience the victory and magnitude of what our Heavenly Father and Lord Jesus Christ did through the virgin birth and cross. In the meantime, let’s remember to give thanks to God for the daily victory over sin we have through the Spirit’s empowerment. Let’s remember and give thanks to God for the eternal victory over sin through Christ. Today, let’s raise our voices in praise of Christ. If you know the song, “Victory in Jesus,” sing it with all your heart. Lord, we praise You for being VICTORIOUS over sin and death. We worship You. Want to learn more about how to live by Christ’s divine nature instead of our sinful, fallen nature? Grab a copy of Debbie’s 2 Peter Bible study, Living by the Divine Nature Instead of Our Fallen Nature, on her website! #debbietaylorwilliams #hillcountryministries #wordbeforeworld #prayer #Godlovesyou #hope #encouragement #christianblogger #christianspeaker
