The Purpose

The purpose of this blog is to encourage the family of Four Mile Church to eat God's word on a more regular basis; to be nourished and fortified. Mile markers help you to know how far you have come and how much further you have to go. God's word is like a mile marker. My prayer is that this simple blogg helps you to partake in God's word and prayer on a more regular basis.



Please share your insights and revelations if you think they may encourage another brother or sister in Christ.

Day 5 - Self Examination

Objective - To see myself as God sees me that I might overcome my sinful tendencies through His grace.


Scriptures - 1 John 1:8-9, Romans 2:1-4


Reflection - Read the passages above carefully. Ask the Holy Spirit to reveal your sins and then repent of them. Make restitution if appropriate. Receive God's grace and forgiveness and rest in it. Try not to rationalize it away.


Prayer - Surrender yourself fully to God. Surrender yourself to God's authority and to the power of His Spirit.

    hmmmmmmm....judging. a tough one, no? i've thought about this one for a long time; i think that 'judging' is something that we really can't escape from..i mean, after all, we need to make 'judgement calls' every day, all day long..in the sense that we judge 'this is not good behavior' 'this IS good behavior' 'i should not act like THAT one' 'i should act like THIS one', THAT kind of judgement help us to DISCERN if we should listen to/follow the leading of certain folks...BUT when it comes to CONDEMNATION of folks for their behavior, well, now that's a whole different matter! we have no right whatsoever to sit 'in judgement' and condemn another for behavior that we may have engaged in ourselves...or mAY engage in down the road. it's a fine line...all too easily crossed and it's easy to fool ourselves. a struggle, indeed. Lord, protect my heart...
