Presentation transcript:

The Mysteries of Inconsistencies The mysterious inconsistencies in the lives of Christians need to be solved by self-examination and diligent effort.

The Mysteries of Inconsistencies Why is it easy to see others' mistakes, but hard to see our own? (Matthew 7:1-6; Romans 2:19-23; John 2:8-13) Why is it easy to solve our friend's problems, but hard to solve our own? (1 Peter 4:4; John 21:15-23) Why is it easy to find time for social or recreational activities, but hard to find time for spiritual ones?

The Mysteries of Inconsistencies Why is it easy to spend several hours fiddling with our smartphones, on the internet, or watching TV, but hard to spend just a few minutes reading the Bible? (1 Timothy 4:13-16; Psalms 1:2; 119:72) Why do we encourage our children to work on their lessons for school, but fail to motivate them to do their Bible lessons? (Ephesians 6:4) Why is it easy to spend money on pleasure but hard to give it to the Lord? (1 Corinthians 6:1-2; 2 Corinthians 8:1-5)

The Mysteries of Inconsistencies Each of these mysteries has two common causes: Our inability to see ourselves as we are. Lack of diligence in pursuing spiritual priorities. “…For he who lacks these things is shortsighted, even to blindness, and has forgotten that he was cleansed from his old sins. Therefore, brethren, be even more diligent to make your call and election sure, for if you do these things you will never stumble” (2 Peter 1:5-10)
