Deeds of the Flesh
These are deeds done often in a very selfish and unloving manner to please our own desires, and are done without any consideration to what it might cost others in any way whatsoever. Of course these actions and deeds may be fun and enjoyable at first but then conviction and guilt often set in afterwards. This conviction lets one know that they have done wrongly in gratifying the desires of their flesh, and then they must decide whether to repent or not of their deed. I know that when I stumble like this, I almost always do repent when the Holy Spirit convicts me and/or I am corrected by others of the misdeed
This proverb though it talks about something else is accurate also with this topic of gratifying the flesh
(Proverbs 20:17) Bread gained by deceit is sweet to a man, but afterward his mouth will be full of gravel.
So too can gratifying the cravings and desires...

Greed and coveting
Now the Lord wants me to do a bible study,discussion and teaching on greed and coveting, and how bad and evil they are both towards man and in the sight of God, and how much grief they have caused people who practice those things which are so evil to God. This discussion will include how it affected various different people in the bible, and such, as well as scriptures which speak out against greed.
First I will put in the applicable commandments here, using Exodus
(Exodus 20:15) "You shall not steal.
Greedy people indeed often steal from others(often by cheating them)
(Exodus 20:17) "You shall not covet your neighbor's house; you shall not covet your neighbor's wife, or his male servant, or his female servant, or his ox, or his donkey, or anything that is your neighbor's."
I will add my comment to say that it is VERY unloving to your neighbor to covet anything...

SINGLENESS OF HEART
Matthew 12:35, "A good man out of the good treasure of the heart bringeth forth good things: and an evil man out of the evil treasure bringeth forth evil things."
MATTHEW 12:32-45
Our spirit is definitely a part of our heart, but as seen in 1 Peter 3:4, it is only a part. Sin, iniquity, unbelief, etc., come from the heart but not the born-again spirit. Hebrews 4:12 suggests that...

Raised from the dead a bible study
As I start to write this, it is around Easter and Christians celebrate that holiday as a remembrance to when Jesus Himself rose from the grave again after being crucified 3 days earlier. I am led to do one where I use the different examples of being raised from the dead. This is a thorough study, hitting the different aspects of it. I want to let the scripture and such so comments will be relatively minimal.
The first one I use is Elijah and the widow’s son
(1 Kings 17:17) After this the son of the woman, the mistress of the house, became ill. And his illness was so severe that there was no breath left in him.
(1 Kings 17:18) And she said to...

THE UNPARDONABLE SIN
MATTHEW 12:31, "Wherefore I say unto you, All manner of sin and blasphemy shalt be forgiven unto men: but blasphemy against the Holy Ghost shall not be forgiven unto men."
LUKE 12:10; MATTHEW 12:24-31; MARK 3:22-30
The word "blaspheme" means "to speak evil of; defame; or revile." In context, Jesus is saying that blasphemy against the Holy Ghost is attributing the working of the...

The greatest gift of all- from God
I am led to write this to speak about the greatest gift of all, from God, and it is not from any man, or of or from this world in which we live. The world and people give good things but what is given in this gift is far, far more valuable than anything close to what man can give, be it houses, cars, money, clothes and so on, although it is a truth that all gifts come from above as stated here, anyway
(James 1:17) Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of lights with whom there is no variation or shadow due to change.
And another verse with a similar meaning to the book of James from Matthew
(Matthew 7:11) If you then, who are evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your Father who is in heaven give good things to those who ask him!
The Heavenly Father loves us so much,...

BEING YOKED TO JESUS
Matthew 11:28-30, "Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls. For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light."
MATTHEW 11:20-30
Yokes were made of wood with two hollowed out sections on the bottom portion that rested on the necks of...
