Gems in the book of Romans
Chapter 2:1 of Romans is a passage that many self-righteous believers must take heed to. There
are many Christians that are very quick to quote the Bible to others, while they are guilty of the
same sins. This is an issue of morality. Although we are to encourage one another to build each
other in the Lord, we also need to live our lives in the higher moral ground.
Those who are most harsh in condemning others, are often guilty of the same sins, though in
their own case they manage to find some excuse that lessens their shortcomings. There is a
difference between carrying each others’ burdens and outright judgment. We are all familiar
with the proverb, which says, “the camel’s hump is on its back.” Meaning that we do not see our
own faults. We are naturally blinded to them. We need others to point them out to us, lovingly.
However, an attitude of self-righteous while referring to others’ sins brings Jesus’ condemnation
on us… “Why do you look at the speck of sawdust in your brother’s eye and pay no attention to
the plank in your own eye? How can you say to your brother, ‘Let me take the speck out of your
eye,’ when all the time there is a plank in your own eye? You hypocrite, …” (Matt 7:1-6).
Therefore, while we are to point to each other, mistakes, let the motive be to build up, and not
tear down.
A short message to ponder on…
I believe that all of us parents someday went through the situation that you had
to put children to sleep in their own beds.
Most of the time we feel comfortable that they sleep on their own. Still,
sometimes at night, when they desire our presence as a sense of security or
when they are sick… they turn up in the middle of the night or even find them
in the midst of you by morning.
Can we see the spiritual side in this?
Would it be nice that they know where to look and who to find comfort in?
We should pray that as their instinct instructs them while they are innocent, to
look for their parents in whom they trust completely… the same instinct, by the
Spirit’s guidance, as they grow older, they seek the heavenly Father through
Jesus Christ. May the House of Prayer be a constant support and strength to
them.

WOL Marriage Devotion
No one can deny the fact that flare-
ups are part of marriage. It
would be good if we
could do without them.
However, because of
several aspects,
couples allow their
emotions to take over. It
would be better to control
emotions and the mouth that
expresses them verbally. The tongue
can bring so much destruction in a
relationship. Spouses try to justify
their hurt or disappointments but
venting out whatever comes out of
that unsanctified part of one’s
nature. However, the situation gets
worse when the other party retaliates
in the same manner.
The way spouses often talk to one
another is an identifier of the
respect they have towards
each other. Therefore, if we
recognize that our way of
response is contrary to the
Word of God, we need to
ask God to change our
hearts. Then by the power of
God’s Spirit, we can answer softly
instead of harshly. The first turn away
wrath, the second stir up anger. What
is the best response for you to choose?
Do you use the guidance of the Holy
Spirit, or the gratify the desire of the
flesh? What brings glory to God, and
peace in your home, one or the other?
