Submitting to Authority

June 29th 2008 23:25

There are so many people in the world that think it is a bad thing to submit to authority. But Christians believe that God is in control. He uses all things both good and bad to work for His will. God has allowed people and laws to be put in place to for mankind to live by. Submission to authority is to be humbled.

Fighting against what is right only ensures that a person can never live a righteous life. Submitting to authority and humbling yourself to keep from wicked ways prevents a person from being wicked. Those who live for their own will suffer greatly as a result and realize too late that their will can not get them into heaven.

Lust

June 29th 2008 18:02

Lust by definition: A bodily appetite, a deep fleshly desire

Lust is any desire that comes to a person which does not have any value to God. If it is something that doesn’t serve God or His will then it is a lust, a selfish vanity. Lust can be anything from allowing sex, drugs, alcohol etc. to control your thoughts and body… to feeling that deep desire to do what you know is not beneficial to your body or God’s will.

Remember Christians are a chosen people. Not everyone can be a true Christian. It takes a lot of work and dedication to the Holy Trinity in order to become a real Christian and if we are changing ourselves into a follower of Christ then we are lying to ourselves, each other and more importantly to God. Put off the old… that which hinders- this means anything and everything that we know God wouldn’t like and allow Him to shape our lives into loving creations meant to help others find the truth and the light.

Christian Website Full of Information

June 26th 2008 17:59

I stumbled across this website the other day. I remember looking at it and thinking to myself “WOW!” I read through it quite a bit and thought I should share it with you all. If you are interested in how biblical prophesy relates to today and what we are facing or will face then perhaps you should give it a peek and learn a little more. THIS WEBSITE will make you think… even if you are a non-believer.

Do NOT Be Deceived

June 25th 2008 23:23

Satan is crafty and has been since the beginning of mankind. He considers it his duty to try and persuade people to do as he wishes. By spreading evil and allowing the ignorant fools of this world to be deceived by the lies he tells is no justification for their wrong doing. It is written in scripture that we are to be faithful. We are not to change religion because another suits us, we are not to believe in other ‘gods’ because they are said to allow us to do as we desire without being held accountable for our actions.

But we are accountable and we will held as such regardless of the reasons that we allowed ourselves to be deceived. We are taught throughout the Holy bible as to the truth of wickedness and righteousness and how Satan works. To turn our backs on our teaching and allow our flesh to be manipulated and consumed with evil we are willingly turning on all we have learned. For more on this topic please read: 2 Corinthians chapter 11, Mark chapter 13, 1 Corinthians 6:9, 1 Corinthians 15:33, Galatians 6:7,Ephesians 5:62 Thessalonians 2:3, Matthew 24:4

The Cheerful Giver

June 22nd 2008 23:22

Have you ever seen the person in church or on the street that begrudgingly gives to another human being? Have you ever seen the person that gives all they have with a smile on their face and gladness in their hearts? These persons are like night and day. Today we will look into the cheerful giver versus the one that reluctantly gives.

2 Corinthians chapters 8-9 are an excellent resource for this topic. Please read this scripture today

The Fairness of God’s Judgment

June 18th 2008 23:20

We are not to judge others but we are to encourage each other to continue to walk in the light of God’s word. To judge is form an opinion to ridicule, mock, and decide punishment for what WE deem to be right or wrong. The bible lays out the law according to God. There is no room for opinions as to what WE think is right or wrong. If it is not written in the bible then it is for God to judge not mankind. If it is written in the bible we need to obey, teach and encourage others according to what scripture says bout the subject matter.

Many people have great difficulty in understanding this topic of judgment. Some would take this completely out of context, ignorantly so in fact. By this I mean when a person says that no one has the right to ‘judge’ another’s immoral acts. Immorality is defined in scripture- we know what is wicked versus what is righteous. If there is nothing said about a particular act then we have no right to judge as to whether it is one way or another

Wicked Ways and Worldly People

June 16th 2008 23:17

The bible talks a lot about what is acceptable behavior and what is considered wicked and sin ridden. Although it is very clear and concise people still tend to make every excuse for their actions. But with this justification as to why we act the way we do it only serves to show who we ‘work for.’ There are no ‘gray’ areas in the way we are supposed to live our lives as Christians. Eve though some of us pretend that there are… this is lie and we are perpetrating it.

1 Corinthians chapter 6 flat out discloses exactly what we Christians are NOT supposed to be. This world is marred by sexual immorality and when we practice it we are turning from God and living as we deem best which is NOT according to His will

Marriage in the Eyes of God

June 13th 2008 23:15

As most of us know, marriage is a sacred union under God, a commitment of forsaking all others and turning once and for all away from sexual immorality. Yet in today’s’ world we see people getting married constantly and then divorcing. We see affairs both consented and not. And then it can be found that some prefer relations of the sexual sort being embraced as a way to keep a marriage solid. This is not the way marriage was supposed to be.

Marriage is clearly defined in the bible. Turn to 1 Corinthians chapter 7. The biblical principals of marriage are mapped out. It is so rare to see a marriage that is good and decent when there are so many wicked relationships around us. Don’t be fooled and do not live a lie. Christians need to follow the biblical teachings and try to walk the path that leads us home

Immorality in the Church

June 10th 2008 23:14

Many people associate how they wish to feel about Christianity by way of all the wrongful behavior and immorality that goes on in some churches. This is a very ignorant stance to take. This would be like saying all fathers should be gated because some are child molesters or woman beaters. Or, all women should be looked upon as whores because some are promiscuous. This philosophy just doesn’t make sense.

For those of you that may think that church officials and priests, pastors, etc. are not to be held accountable for their actions this post is for you. The bible clearly shows us what is unacceptable in the eyes of God. 1 Corinthians chapter 5 speaks directly about immorality in the church. Sexual immorality is wrong in any sense but when you teach the word of God in His house and practice these sins the offense is far greater
