In Tune with God

Are you in tune with God? Are your conscience, mind, and heart tuned into God's frequency? The Greek word 'hä-plo'-tās' is used in the New Testament to describe a conscience, mind, or heart that is in tune with God, and that seeks to honor God. It is frequently translated with the word 'simplicity' or the word 'sincerity'.

Or he that exhorteth, on exhortation: he that giveth, [let him do it] with simplicity; he that ruleth, with diligence; he that sheweth mercy, with cheerfulness.
Romans 12:8

For our boasting is this: the testimony of our conscience that we conducted ourselves in the world in simplicity and godly sincerity, not with fleshly wisdom but by the grace of God, and more abundantly toward you.
2 Corinthians 1:12

But I fear, lest somehow, as the serpent deceived Eve by his craftiness, so your minds may be corrupted from the simplicity that is in Christ.
For if he who comes preaches another Jesus whom we have not preached, or if you receive a different spirit which you have not received, or a different gospel which you have not accepted--you may well put up with it!
2 Corinthians 11:3

Bondservants, obey in all things your masters according to the flesh, not with eyeservice, as men-pleasers, but in sincerity of heart, fearing God.
Colossians 3:22
May God bless us with a conscience that is not corrupted by selfish desires, with a mind that is not corrupted by worldly thinking, and with a heart that selflessly loves God and others.
Yours in Him,
Pastor B.
