GOD The Rock

Many churches lack discipline, which leads to people making their own rules of the church instead of following God's rules of the church.
What is your personal sensuous motif of God? Think about that before thinking about why you go to church. Is it to glorify God?

Psalms 62:2
He alone is my rock and my salvation,
my fortress where I will never be shaken.

Science vs Religion vs Faith

There is not ONE piece of evidence from science that can give a water-proofed argument. Scientists are "still working on it." The theory is utterly breaking down. They won't take the option of creation as evidence. The Holy Bible has never changed. It has been rewritten several times, but only to be translated into different languages, especially from Olde English to the modern English.

Christianity has also broken down; into different denominations where you can pick and choose what feels right to you. But the scripture in the Bible has never changed. People just twist the words into their own belief, replacing God into their own liking, breaking the first and second commandment. Hypocrites! We as human beings with our freedom of choice change so many times in our life. We may change our image of God when we refuse God's Word in the Bible.

There was nothing religious about my conversion into a Christian. Religion can be unreasonable. It's easy to fall into the dogma of religion if you don't keep your mind on God and reading the Bible constantly with consistency. The image of our God can be shaped and shifted to whatever you feel like it should be if you don't follow the instructions of the LORD (scriptures) yourself.

Religious practice teaches us to do good works, or rely on a day to get us to heaven. Just opening the Bible and reading the scripture once a week at church is self sacrificial. You can't woo God over with good deeds and religious acts. This is not a romantic relationship. Jesus is not your romantic lover.

We should be intimate with the LORD but not in some sexual or sensual way. Don't get me wrong. We are supposed to be intimate with Him, but in a Biblical and an intellectual relationship with Him.

We must be saved by faith alone in Jesus. That is the difference between religion and faith. We don't rely on going to church or on a day to getting us to heaven. Faith alone in Christ everyday; reading your Bible, and simply repenting can only save you. Love God with all your heart, mind and strength and keep His commandments. If you don't keep your faith, you can lose it!

Blindess of Faith

Some people can be blinded of faith, but others could be blinded by faith.
Being blind in faith can lead to extremism and unreasonable debates that will lead to a never ending resolution. There has to be a line between the unbelievers, agnostics, and the faithful. Both share their own beliefs, but if one side doesn't take in favour of both logic, they would be only be dogged by single-mindedness of their own beliefs.

Acts 20:30
Even some men from your own group will rise up and distort the truth in order to draw a following.

So many evangelists would preach the scriptures back to the atheist without reasoning with his conscience. An atheist has his own morals that he has grown up with. We all have regardless of the teachings from the Bible. Everyone has come from a different background that we cannot change by just applying the Gospel. We must look deep into their hearts, find out who they are, and relate to them before sharing our faith of our LORD with the Holy scriptures.
Take this into account for the next time you decide to witness to someone who just won't listen. It's not worth your time, nor theirs.

Romans 12:2
Do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewal of your mind...

Not everyone can be right. We can't be afraid to judge, because the time will come when God is forgotten and we believers will have to judge the world. (1 Cor 6:2)

Do Not Judge Others

Matthew 7:1-6
"Do not judge others, and you will not be judged. For you will be treated as you treat others.* The standard you use in judging is the standard by which you will be judged." *
"And why worry about a speck in your friend’s eye* when you have a log in your own? How can you think of saying to your friend, ‘Let me help you get rid of that speck in your eye,’ when you can’t see past the log in your own eye? Hypocrite! First get rid of the log in your own eye; then you will see well enough to deal with the speck in your friend’s eye."
"Don’t waste what is holy on people who are unholy.* Don’t throw your pearls to pigs! They will trample the pearls, then turn and attack you."

7:2a For God will judge you as you judge others. 7:2b The measure you give will be the measure you get back. 7:3 Greek your brother’s eye; also in. 7:4 Greek your brother. 7:6 Greek Don't give the sacred to dogs.

1 Corinthians 4:3-4
As for me, it matters very little how I might be evaluated by you or by any human authority. I don't even trust my own judgment on this point. My conscience is clear, but that doesn't prove I'm right. It is the LORD himself who will examine me and decide.

Extremist Evangelist

The Bible is only a step off the pedal to a faithful righteous life with our loving God.
Arrogance gone too far can push backsliders and unbelievers further than before. It's downright offensive!
I have learned this from almost losing a friend because of my faith by pressuring too much of the Gospel on them, and not giving into account the consequences until it was too late. Look to your lips, watch what you say.

Proverbs 17:14
Starting a quarrel is like opening a floodgate,
so stop before a dispute breaks out.

Titus 1:10
For there are many rebellious people who engage in useless talk and deceive others.

Titus 3:9
Do not get involved in foolish discussions about spiritual genealogies or in quarrels and fights about obedience to Jewish laws. These things are useless and a waste of time.

1 Corinthians 3:3
For you are still controlled by your sinful nature. You are jealous of one another and quarrel with each other. Doesn't that prove you are controlled by your sinful nature? Aren't you living like people of the world?

2 Timothy 2:4
Soldiers don't get tied up in the affairs of civilian life, for then they cannot please the officer who enlisted them.

2 Timothy 2:14
Remind everyone about these things, and command them in God's presence to stop fighting over words. Such arguments are useless, and they can ruin those who hear them.

2 Timothy 4:3-4
For a time is coming when people will no longer listen to sound and wholesome teaching. They will follow their own desires and will look for teachers who will tell them whatever their itching ears want to hear. They will reject the truth and chase after myths.

Let's Fish!

My favourite quote,

Matthew 4:19
"And he said to them, Follow me, and I will make you fishers of men."

This means that if you follow him, he will show you how to fish for people! (Witness to people) He'll show you how to throw out the bait into deep waters and reel in the fish! So, let's spread the Gospel!

Salvation In The Ark: Genesis

Genesis 6:13-14 (KJV)
"And God said to Noah, The end of all flesh is come before me; for the earth is filled with violence through them; and, behold, I will destroy them with the earth.
Make you an ark of gopher wood; rooms shall you make in the ark, and shall pitch it within and without pitch."

*The Greek definition for pitch is atonement.

17
"And behold, I, even I, do bring a flood of waters upon the earth, to destroy all flesh, wherein is the breath of life, form under the heaven; and every thing that is in the earth shall die."

He will give us His Word to spread upon the earth, so that we don't have to die from His wrath.

21
"And take to you of all food that is eaten, and you shall gather it to you; and it shall be for food for you, and for them."

The food is the word of God, and we are to gather it into our minds, and spread it throughout the world.

Chapter 7:16
"And they went in, went in male and female of all flesh, as God had commanded him: and the LORD shut him in."

We can also turn to the new testament in the book of Matthew chapter 4, where Jesus refers to the food saying, verse 4,

"It is written, Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceeds from the mouth of God."

The LORD God, flooded the whole world. The Ark was the salvation and water proofed by atonement. God closed the door and saved Noah from the destruction to come by the flood.
Only true believers can come into the Ark for salvation and only God can close the door.

Good-Bye Atheists

The Christian carries around a deep and heavy sorrow. He is like a man who sees villagers happily living beneath a great dam. He has seen cracks in the dam and he knows that they will soon die if they don’t move from where they are living. But the villagers refuse to believe his warning, and even mock his every word. His sorrow is that their deaths will be totally needless.

I know that when I say goodbye to my loved ones for the last time, I will see them again at the resurrection of the just and the unjust. If you want that incredible consolation, stop doubting, and take a long and honest look at the Ten Commandments. They are going to justly damn you forever. Then take a long look at the Savior on the cross. That’s what can save you completely. Then move out of the sinful village of this world, through repentance and faith in Jesus. When your sins are forgiven, instead of having God against you, "God will be with you"
