Message: I was so excited to walk into one of my favorite churches of for the first time of this semester. Freedom church, located in Center City Philadelphia, is one of the most awe inspiring churches I have been too. I was even more excited to hear the message was going to be key aspects of success. The one this week was doing the right thing. The Pastor did a real good job of relating the verses in Proverbs to how we as Christians can be right.
Proverbs 28:12 describes rightness greatly. The King James Version proclaims," When the righteous rejoice, there is great glory; But when the wicked arise, men hide themselves." Doing the right thing in life makes us alive while when we choose not to make right choices others will hide. Doing what is right gives us confidence by not worrying about covering lies while the latter wears on our souls. Pastor Gabe related this wear perfectly with comparing to being unrightoues to the infamous story of David and Bathsheba. King David having an affair with Bathsheba made him lie to the point where his adultery lead to him he killing his best man on purpose. That badness followed his son Solomon who had many ungodly affairs with his hundreds of wives.
One of my favorite points from the Pastor's speech was that God cares more about doing the right thing than to following the right religious rituals. If we walk humbly before God we will achieve success!
