FIVE THINGS TO FORGET
What are some of the things we need to forget in order to make a success of the Christian life? “Forgetting those things which are behind . . . I press toward the mark for the prize of the high calling of God in Jesus Christ.” (Philippians 3:13-14).
1. Our Setbacks. We are too prone to brood over our losses – especially financial and material losses. But Jesus taught that the only loss which should truly concern us is the loss of the soul! (Matthew 16:26). Losing friends, or health, or job, or property, or position are bad but are also minor inconveniences compared to the excellency of gaining Christ. (Philippians 3:8)
2. Our Slights. We must not dwell on past grievances or injuries. Indwelling hatred or resentment poisons a person’s whole perspective on life. There is not much room for anything else in a heart filled with bitterness. “Let not the sun go down upon your wrath” (Ephesians 4:26).
3. Our Successes. Many a good man has been ruined by success. Saul of Gilbeah was a noble man until he was elected king of Israel and then his life turned to tragedy. “For I say to every man that is among you, not to think of himself more highly than he ought to think.” (Romans 12:3) Let us remember that without the mercy of God we could do nothing, have nothing, be nothing.
4. Our Sorrows. We must not allow our sorrows to imprison us in the past. As one old preacher used to say, “We must look for life’s pearls.” “For I reckon that the sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared with the glory which shall be revealed in us.” (Romans 8:18)
5. Our Sins. We must not allow our sins to defeat us. With God’s help, we can put them behind us. Sin can be cleansed from our lives. The blood of Christ is more powerful than sin! Let us therefore “lay aside the sin which doth so easily beset us, and let us run with patience the race that is set before us” (Hebrews 12:1)
God grant us both the wisdom to know what needs to be forgotten and the will to do it this year!

STRIVING TO DO GOD'S THINGS GOD'S WAY
AND TO WORSHIP OUR GOD - - HIS WAY;
FORSAKING OUR OWN IDEAS,
WE SEEK HIS WILL IN ALL THINGS.
THERE IS NO OTHER
"The fullness of Him who fills all in all" (Ephesians 1:23).
Jesus is the focus of all truth. To properly understand the Bible, we must accept this fact without question. God tells us that in His Son "are hidden all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge" (Colossians 2:3).
Often there can be a veil before our eyes keeping us from understanding the scriptures. This veil can be removed by looking to Jesus: "Nevertheless when one turns to the Lord, the veil is taken away" (2 Corinthians 3:16). With spiritually uncluttered eyes it is easy to see that:
1. Jesus is our only Savior. Many believe they can be saved through the church or by having the right doctrines. Others believe they can be saved by just doing good things or simply by staying out of trouble. Now, while all these are extremely important, no one is saved except through Jesus. He said: "I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me." (John 14:6).
2. Jesus is our only foundation. Only Jesus can be the foundation of our faith: "For no other foundation can anyone lay than that which is laid. which is Jesus Christ" (1 Corinthians 3:11). Many buildings and houses are lost in storms and earthquakes because of weak or substandard foundations. With Jesus as our foundation we need not fear any problem in life or in death.
3. Jesus is our only authority. Many set themselves up as religious authorities or names in this world. The Jim Jones and David Koresh mentality abounds, even in the Lord's church. But the Bible tells us that Jesus is "King of kings, and Lord of lords" (1 Timothy 6:15). Jesus Himself said before He ascended to heaven, "All authority has been given to Me in heaven and on earth." (Matthew 28:18). Peter said: "Nor is there salvation in any other name under heaven given among men by which we must be saved" (Acts 4:12). Man-made names or authorities are not only unscriptural, they also detract from the honor that must be given to Jesus only.
Believe in Him and obey His commands. (Mark 16:15-16; Hebrews 5:9).
