What is the Difference Between soul and spirit?

I was listening to an Audible Book entitled, Praying God’s Word by Beth Moore as I was working out this morning and she made a statement about our soul and our spirit, not to be confused with the Holy Spirit.

Ms. Moore’s statement gave me pause. I hadn’t thought about the difference between soul and spirit in some time, and like most, use it as a joint reference. I just completed a quick study and ran across a gotQuestions?org video on YouTube and thought you might find it interesting.

I also ran across another YouTube Animation on the subject by Andrew Womack:
It proves visual clarity.

While there are other references, I found an article entitled, What is the Difference Between The Soul and the Spirit? A Bible Study, April 26, 2014, Jack Wellman on patheos.com, to be enlightening. Difference Between Our soul and our spirit. 

Disclaimer: While Patheos .com and my theological understanding may not be in sync (having read other articles on this topic) I find this to article to be credible.

Ponder what you read, viewed, and know and share your understanding in the reply box. It will help other receive clarity regarding our soul and our spirit.

Ways to Walk

Jesus walked, there were few other forms of transportation. This article is not talking about the convenience of getting from one point to another, become more like Christ, use it as a communication vehicle, use it as a meditation time, and yes, use it to get from point A to point B.

One thing we can miss in our Bibles is all the walking they did. Did you know that the word walking or walked is mentioned over 200 times in the Bible? Yes, I think that is a Biblical argument for us to walk more : -).  It was at least a four-day journey for Jesus and his disciples to walk from Capernaum to Jerusalem. I’ve often wondered about all the conversations that happened along the way.

LET’S TALK…

This week’s blog is about walking. Here are four ways to walk…

  1. Walk with someone. My wife loves to walk. It is something we try to do on a regular basis. It is time together and time to talk. I’ve also tried to take a walk with someone who comes by the office. Talking business is more fun, if you are getting exercise at the same time.
  2. Walk to pray. Prayer walking…

PRAYER

Thank you, Lord, for giving me your law to follow throughout my life. I have hidden your Word in my heart to follow and avoid sin. Thank you for giving me the Holy Spirit to teach me your decrees. Please continue to give me focus so I can meditate on your precepts. Give me understanding so I can obey your laws. Open my eyes so I can see the wonderful things in your Word, and act on your commandments as the guiding principles of my life. Turn my heart to your statutes and help me keep my focus off my selfish ways. Help me to be more like Christ. Help me walk in your freedom and live in your truth. Let your compassion come to me and show me my salvation.

In Jesus Name, Amen.

Sacrifice Has Many Faces

Jesus loves us and gave up his life for us, and we are commanded to give up ours for our brothers and sisters in and out of the body of Christ.

In most cases sacrificing our life is not a literal act but rather love is reflected in kindness, patience, tolerance, honesty and trustworthiness. Ask maturing Christians, we should practice these traits as we go about of daily activities.

Suggestion – Jot down which traits you are exhibiting today and their frequency. By the end of the week you’ll look back in amazement,  and see that they are already, or becoming a part of your demeanor.

“This is how we know what love is: Jesus Christ laid down his life for us. And we ought to lay down our lives for our brothers and sisters.”
‭‭1 John‬ ‭3:16‬ ‭NIV‬‬

God promises to keep us and not to forsake (abandon) us. He is our strength, and promises to meet our needs, guide us, and protect us. He adopted us into His family. Never give up hope, even in the most difficult times. He will take our sin away. He will make a way out of no way. We can trust Him because He is Truth. God keeps His Promises, He did not make them lightly or on a whim. They are divine Providence, and  preparation for present and future eventualities we will meet on the way to our destiny, everlasting life.

God is faithful and is always with us. He is just to reward those who persevere in living by and sharing the Good News.

Reaching the youth and young adults is vital. They are our future and without God, we will continue to have global chaos.

“Bless the LORD, O my soul; And all that is within me, bless His Holy Name” (Psalm 103:1 NKJV)! 

Heavenly Father, we bless Your Name with joyful hearts as we pray. Thank You, Lord,  for allowing us to come into Your Presence today with our prayers for the salvation of the unsaved millennials in our families, for our coworkers, for our managers, and for our friends.   May today be the day of salvation for some of these dear ones who I am praying for. 

All souls are Yours, O Lord.  All souls need our Lord Jesus Christ as their Savior, King, and their highest Treasure.  Let Christ be magnified in our hearts. Save many souls, even as we pray.

O Holy Father, forgive our sins.  Cleanse our hearts from all unrighteousness.  Increase our faith, Lord.

Keep us pure.  Keep us happy. Keep us close to Your heart.  Sanctify our thoughts.  Guide each word as…
