How many of us have all the coins that God gave us? I want to look at cleansing our lives during the next few weeks and today I want to look at "who Need Spiritual Cleansing?"

TEN COINS: JUST EXAMPLES

1. Prayer
2. Bible reading and study
3. Assembling for worship
4. Love for the Brethren
5. Love for the lost
6. Holy living
7. Godly witness
8. Godly giving
9. Praise and worship
10. Love for God above all others!
 

I. Examine our Spiritual Wealth

We need to look at our:
  A. Standards in OUR lives

    1. Do we still see sin or just misdeeds, mishaps, etc.

    2. Do we still hold to BIBLICAL standards?

    3. Do we have standards or do we use other peoples?

  B. Same level of service for the Lord that we used to have.

  C. Self,- not what others have or don't have, but what we have.

II. Enlist some means to regain our loss or lessening for Him

She did the following:
  A. Lit a candle - shed light on the problem/loss

  B. Swept house - clean out that sinful attitudes, etc.

  C. Sought diligently - look for the item that Gods want you to have.

 III. Exhort those around us to be thankful and "cleaner" for God

  A. By all means don't give up FIND the lost "coin"

  B. Tell friends of the joy of regaining what you had lost!

  C. Rejoice! "Rejoice in the Lord alway: and again I say rejoice!" - Phil. 4:4
