INSIGHT ON THE WORD # 10

Obedience

Believers hold the key to God's heart.  If you want to please God and show Him your love, you will be obedient to all of His commands. The most important principle for living is submission to God's will.  All other disciplines of the Christian life such as worship, devotion, good works, and humility spring out of obedience.  This is why the scripture tells us to love loyalty more than sacrifice (Hosea 6:6).

We cannot live successfully before God without obeying Him.  So many Christians get caught up in doing everything "by the book," thinking their collective right actions will prove how faithful they are.  They follow all the rules, frown upon those who do not, and feel very pleased with themselves for making it so easy for the Lord Jesus to love them.  However, good behavior designed to impress other people does not impress God.  He wants His children to act out of love for Him rather than out of conceit.

So obedience is more than following a list of rules.  A wise believer, first of all, is in touch with the Lord daily to discover His will; and secondly, committed to obeying whatever he or she is called to do.

Dr. Rickey McBride's Biography

Reverend Rickey McBride came to the Lord and was saved at the age of 12. He accepted the Holy Ghost's call to preach the Gospel of Jesus Christ at the tender age of 14.  He grew up in Fifth Ward and graduated from Phyllis Wheatley High School. At the age of 25, he founded and organized the New Beginnings in Christ Church. He received four degrees from the Gospel Ministry Outreach Theological Institution in Houston, Texas. His preaching can be characterized as practical and down to earth. He is truly a man of God, one that is concerned about the souls of the people.  He's been happily married for 14 wonderful years to his beautiful wife Angela.  So please continue to pray for their strength in the Lord.
