    Is It Time To Reboot?

    Contributed by Otis Mcmillan on Aug 4, 2021
    based on 1 rating
     | 9,958 views

    Today our lesson challenges us about our priorities in life – It asks the questions: “Do we still trust God today?” “Do we have Him in His proper place in our life?” “Do we still trust God in a pandemic?’ But do we really? Is God in 1st place on our priority list today?

    What reboot means? To reboot is to reload the operating system of a computer: to start it up again. Booting is starting a computer's operating system, so rebooting is to start it for a second or third time. ... Rebooting allows the computer to restart and get back to working normally. After a ...read more

    Looking for solitude was a significant need for Jesus. We need to foster the control of investing energy alone with God. Spending time alone with God is necessary.

Investing energy with God in petition and prayer supports an imperative relationship and prepares us to address life's ...read more

    Each one reconciled by Christ is to be involved in reconciling the world to God. But not all those in the church do! According to our text, they have received the grace of God in vain. God expects those who have received grace to be involved in the ministry of reconciliation.

    Paul has been defending his life and ministry in the first five chapters. His enemies at Corinth had accused him of wrong methods and motives, and he successfully answered them. His final statement in chapter 5 deals with his ministry of reconciliation. The first two verses in the sixth chapter ...read more
