Even the elite are powerless against Death;
Yet most of them won't even acknowledge the God who
has Defeated it....
Of course there are always exceptions
You should be one of them

A bit of Honesty

A bit of honesty:

If you don't worship The God of Jacob

The Hebrew Yeshua

The King of the World

Christ Jesus

Then please don't pray for me when you see me in need

It will cause more harm than good

devils have ears

Wisdom Pearl:

The Lord Christ accepts all sinners
from all colors
sizes
nationalities
and sexual orientation
He says come as you are!
But don't expect to stay as you were
Or return the same way you came...

The Real

The Real

If the Church which is charged with leading, serving and correcting the people
is in need of correction, redirection and rededication itself
then what hope do the people have
If they don't first see a return to God by His own elect?

What is the takeaway from that statement?
Lead in Repentance
Have a clear voice in correction
Set a new standard by the non promotion of SIN
Hold everyone from the Mirror, The Pulpit and to the Door accountable
Show the TRUTH of Love
Banish the Deception of Complacency
Present the scriptures with no APOLOGY; no EDIT; no OMMISSIONS

Remember: Leaders/Teachers/Preachers are held to a stricter code than others
We are not in the business of being polite or even politically correct; we are responsible for ENCOURAGING PEOPLE TO CHRIST; not lying to them with a wink and a nod that their behavior or lifestyle is ok.

Judging is not ever correcting
But correcting is never judging

To your post and defend it with honor..or step down

The Complacency of Sin

The Complacency of Sin:

First it desires to be Acknowledged
Then it pushes for Acceptance
Finally it demands Representation....
Until it is no longer recognized as the sin it still is

Just a Thought

A choice to kill is not a choice but an act
Changing the words doesn't change the deed.
I.e. 'thou shall not commit murder' doesn't make it right if we interchange commit with choice. It is still the same

Wisdom Pearl:
A right choice in the begging will curtail wrong choices in the end (future)

A Thought Captured

If we don't capture the thought(s) that lead to wrong desires, such as wanting a door opened that God has closed, then we will find ourselves slaves to them (the thoughts).

Which is a direct contradiction to what Jesus Christ said in Luke (4:18) and what was recorded in the book of John (John 8:36) He came to set the captives free and whom He has set free is free INDEED!

If we find ourselves always wanting something that God no longer or never wanted for us. We have failed to attune our wants to line up with His Word. We should always be wary of the lesson from Lot's wife. Her thoughts, her being, all of who she was was established in Sodom and Gomorrah. Eventhough, God wanted to save her she decided she knew what was best and didn't want to leave that place behind. It had captured the throne of her heart. Neither the joy of pleasing God nor the sacrifice for the betterment of her family came into her mind. Just a selfish thought that was never tamed. As a result she lost her life.

So the next time you find yourself longing for the approval of a group or persons who have in the past rejected you because of your belief in Jesus Christ or the Lord inspires you to move into a different direction or flow with Him but it requires a lot of sacrifice on your behalf.... remember to capture that thought (anything that tries overrule the desire of Christ)  and nail it to the Cross.

We are chosen and set aside for a purpose. We are not going to fit in everywhere. But then again it was never our job to.
