uprightness

A gentle answer turns away wrath.

But the mouth of fools spouts foolishness.

A soothing tongue is a tree of life.

The way of the wicked is an abomination to The Lord.

The plans of the heart belong to a person, But the answer of the tongue is from The Lord.

Music by Scott Holmes, intro and outro, (Corporate Uplifting)

Themes song by Imovie (Narration Song)

And Asa did that which was right in the eyes of the Lord, as did David his father. And he took away the sodomites out of the land, and removed all the idols that his fathers had made.

We know that declaring independence from a tyrannical force aspired to freedom. But what if a true and deep freedom comes from an earnest declaration of dependence?

Saints have been pardoned of their iniquities.

The Psalmist profession of Uprightness.

Prayer of an afflicted man for mercy.

Praise for the Lord's Mercies.

"The fruit of the Spirit is... goodness" (Galatians 5:22). What is this "goodness" that the Holy Spirit produces in/through our lives? This virtue is unique to the Christian life - the Greek word was used exclusively in the New Testament to describe an authentic, genuine Christ-follower. Rooted in God's own character, the word was not commonly used in the everyday language of the first century. So, what is "goodness?" And how do we allow the Holy Spirit to develop this fruit in us?
