John 16

John 16:8:
And when he is come, he will reprove the world of sin, and of righteousness, and of judgment.

​Grace provides the power to keep you from falling, is given to recover you when you fall, and corrects you so you don't fall like you have before if you submit to correction and make yourself accountable. It forgives your fall when you truly humble yourself and sincerely repent but it does not excuse your fall. You don't get to choose the consequences of your fall and then tell others who were also hurt by it how to feel about it or when it is over just because you have moved on while leaving them behind to still deal with it; especially if you're in leadership. How dare you walk away and walk on people while doing it; that is ungodly and insincere. --Pen of the Watchman

​John 16:13:
“When the Spirit of truth comes, he will guide you into all the truth, for he will not speak on his own authority, but whatever he hears he will speak, and he will declare to you the things that are to come.”

​ Studies have shown that atheists tend to be smarter than Christians. Why?

As followers of Christ, we must not only make the Church a place that is open to the questions of others, we must ask tough questions ourselves. Our faith should be based on what we are certain of, not just on how we feel. If our belief in God is rooted solely in the shallow soil of human emotions, this shallowness will be evident in the fruit that our faith produces.
We are not called to blind faith. We are called to let the Spirit “guide us to all truth.” And when you know the truth, the truth will set you free.

​John 16:33:
“These things I have spoken unto you, that in me ye might have peace. In the world ye shall have tribulation: but be of good cheer: I have overcome the world.” 

​We really cant have much to do with the life He offers, if we want to be trouble -free, because He promises us tribulation. Trouble is a fact of life. By avoiding some trouble, we avoid necessary moral stands. The fear of trouble can lead to moral compromise, or the flight from trouble can be a flight from morality. …However, He has promised us peace and not just “peace” but “perfect peace: “Thou wilt keep him in perfect peace, whose mind is stayed on thee; because he trusts in thee.”(Is 26:3)
