Being a Believer!

 And not a fake religious Hypocrite?

Our fellowships are full of long time goers, who are not saved coming out eventually with statements that prove who they really are and the damage that they have caused over the years to many others, if not the younger generations that we wonder why they will or never have come to faith!

God tells us in his word that even the angels who broke cover were cast into Hell and all those who practice evil out of pride and other sensuality face the same fate, unless they repent.

We are told in the New Testament to speak and keep the truth, since we cannot deny what God has done in us and we are to avoid bad company, since they with the power of Satan drag us backwards?

1 Corinthians 10:13, 15:33, 2 Peter 2:4-10, Revelation 3:10, 3:20. 

E.1.

False Charges!

There are many today who could tell the story of being set up or sold out by so called associates or mates? Jesus was set up and sold to the Roman authorities by religious people who played being right with God, when they were mostly pretenders!

Jesus was tried by a Roman occupier, who knew He was an innocent man but he was not able to get Him off! Since those religious men had bribed this judge to do their bidding and give them what they wanted a revolutionary murderer!

The world today has not changed when it comes to the sins of evil people, with we are good living or bad? There are better and worse and some times the opposites are played or switched roles to get rid of us who perhaps might be a challenge for them or trying to make a stance?

Mark 15:3,   Luke 16:1,   23:10,   Acts 23:28,   25:16.

Cloud of Witnesses. Part-One.

We are not alone in our Journey?

Many believers when going through a bad patch think God has left them and those who have passed cannot help? But we should know that our Lord is always at hand to help us, we can call on Him anytime. Jeremiah 3:33.

We need to remember what believers advised us on certain matters, who have now passed away? We have such a rich heritage as born-again or converted believers, that we must not loose sight to these important facts.

This verse goes on to speak about the race for our heavenly reward and not to grow weary or give up, what Jesus has done for us on the cross/stake/tree!

Hebrews 12:1-2,  1 Corinthians 9:24-25,  James 1:12.

SLAVERY. Part-Three.

Two Masters.

In the last two bloggs we have looked at the physical out working of the Slavery, but now we are going to look at the Spiritual condition of our choices.

The bible tells us very clearly that we humans are different, because we have the freedom to choose and this makes us creative, evil and advanced.

Sin crouches at our door and we have that choice, we also are dominated by depression and oppression on different levels and again we have the choice to accept sin or reject it. 

But we cannot have both, we either take one or the other?

Genesis 4:7,  Isaiah 7:15-16,  Matthew 6:24,  Luke 16:13, James 1:15.

New Year.

'Whats in store for You?'

Believers will be blessed, wither they deserve it or not! Because that is the way with God, he always wants to give us new things and lead us in the best ways and directions for our lives.

Perhaps this year you will give up your excuses and finally give in to following Him?

What ever you do, the history of the world will continue as it has, there will be great events and there will also be more disasters and wars, terrorism etc.

1 Kings 9:4,  Psalm 34:4-9,  101:2,  Joel 2;32,  Acts 7:50-60,  Romans 10:12-15.

Excuses for... Part-Two.

Choosing Light or Darkness.

Humanity has been given free will by God for us to choose our own destiny in life, wither we do bad and evil? Live in the darkness of denial and ignorance or we choose to believe and follow Jesus?

Doing what is right, fair and honest in His light, not pleasing people, not doing good deeds so we get the praise of the world. But rather serving Jesus and doing what is right, looking for no return or thanks but pressing on for our crown in Heaven.

John 12:35-36,  Proverbs 4:19,  Hebrews 3:7-8.

Flee for your Life. Part-Two.

Sin, Failure.

This our inherited problem Sin, it makes us selfish, greedy, bad tempered.

Failure leads us to make bad decisions, lie, steal, hate, be jealous.

The answer to all of this is Jesus, we need to flee the failures and seek after Him.

Proverbs 6:4-5,  1 Timothy 5:22,  Revelation 18:4.

Flee for your Life. Part-One.

Bad Company.

There is always so called friends and mates out there wanting you to be a part of something they want to do or are doing.

But each one of us are our own selves and we don't have to join with others in what they want to do.

God says 'that we should flee Sin, evil and wickedness for our lives.'

Proverbs 6:4-5,  1 Timothy 5:22,  Revelation 18:4.
