At the Feet of Jesus

At the Feet of Jesus is a study that Nan Cunningham has written featuring Mary of Bethany.

Picture yourself at Jesus’ feet with the forgiveness of God making all things new in your life. Mary has much to teach us about adoration, devotion, and living our life at the feet of our Lord and Savior—Jesus Christ. She came to Jesus with a humble heart and made wise decisions that were based on her spiritual priorities. The result was praise from the Lord.

Of Mary, Jesus said, “And truly I say to you, wherever the gospel is preached in the whole world, that also which this woman has done shall be spoken of in memory of her” (Mar 14:9).

It is Nan’s desire and prayer that through this study, each of us would fall in love with Jesus all over again. Let your soul lavish in the freedom of forgiveness and be ready always to offer that forgiveness to others.

The Transforming Power of Grace 4

Listen

The battle of the spiritual life is fought and decided by the will of the mind and choices of the heart. Today you make choices, but tomorrow your choices make you. A spiritual leader has a willingness to sacrifice, and isn't self-serving. The path of recovery is outlined by James (Jam 4:6-10). How do we become what God wants us to be (2Pe 1:3-11, Gal 4:19). The "nay-sayers" (Tit 1:9) are contradictory (Tit 1:10-11). Cretians were lazy and only satisfied their own desires; they needed to be to be rebuked sharply (Tit 1:13, Tit 2:1-2, Tit 2:7-8). "Sound" means healthy, wholesome. Spiritual health is "godliness" (Tit 2:11-12). The essence of godliness is the life of Jesus Christ (1Ti 3:16). Faith is the only means to lay hold of what God says; the result is godliness. (1) 1Ti 3:16 is the definition of godliness. (2) Godliness is not the work a moment, but pursuit of a lifetime (Rom 12:1-2). (3) The more we look into glory of Christ, the more we'll reflect it (2Co 3:18). If we are conscious of our godliness, it's probably fake. (4) The development of godliness goes from faith to faith and strength to strength (Rom 1:17, Psa 84:7). (5) The attainment of godliness with contentment is great gain (1Ti 6:6). (6) Paul exemplifies godliness in pursuit (Phi 3:7-14) and attainment (Gal 2:20).
