Laws of God or Laws of Man?

Frequently, one of the lessons in Sunday School classes would pose the question, “If the law of the land was contrary to the law or will of God, which would you obey; the laws of God or the laws of man?” Looking back at the Supreme Court reversal on baby killings (June 24, 2022), it occurred to me that throughout the years, some local churches faced that decision. Though many fervently prayed and…

The Wonders of God's Word: Part V The Blood of Jesus Cries Out

The Wonders of God’s Word: Part V The Blood of Jesus Cries Out

For all of us have become like one who is unclean, And all our righteous deeds are like a filthy garment; And all of us wither like a leaf, And our iniquities, like the wind, take us away {Isaiah 64:6 NASB} I am unclean. It doesn’t matter how many good works I perform; how many times I go to church in a given week; how big my offering is. I am unclean. The only way that God can look at me and…

When We Truly Love

“No one who abides in Him [who lives and remains in communion with and in obedience to Him—deliberately, knowingly, and habitually] commits (practices) sin. No one who [habitually] sins has either seen or known Him [recognized, perceived, or understood Him, or has had an experiential acquaintance with Him].” 1John 3:6AMPC

This scripture rankles denominations claiming ‘go ahead and sin, grace covers all sin.’ I will take it a step further.

When Lou and I married 54 years ago, if I displeased him, ‘he’ll get over it’ was my mentality. Marriage was about me. Over those first years, I learned to try and be pleasing— to keep peace within the confines of our home. Along the way, I fell totally head-over-heels in love with Lou. It became my desire to be part of him, an extension of his ideals, hopes and dreams. Today I have no desire to hurt or displease him in anyway.

Lou currently has bronchitis along with his other issues. I was trying to help him stand up and walk. He looked at me totally lucid saying, ‘I don’t want to hurt you. Please don’t, lifting will hurt your back. Get help.’ Then he slipped back into the fog of fever and illness. Those years of becoming a part of him reaped a harvest of his continued protection and concern for me, no matter how he feels.

My point: When we truly love— truly love God— we won’t want to sin—hurt Him. Those pet sins aren’t worth keeping around to stimulate us in the wrong manner. That addiction, desire, whatever isn’t as important as intimacy and fellowship with Yahweh Adonai. He becomes our consuming passion.

1John 1:8-9NIV “If we claim to be without sin, we deceive ourselves and the truth is not in us. If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just and will forgive us our sins and purify us from all unrighteousness.” This appears to be the total opposite of our text. It isn’t.

In the text it’s talking about pet sins— refusing to let go of things which God has been dealing with us about. This covers sins against your own body, etc.— “Flee from sexual immorality. All other sins a person commits are outside the body, but whoever sins sexually, sins against their own body.” Example——: “…For their women exchanged natural relations for those that are contrary to nature; and the men likewise gave up natural relations with women and were consumed with passion for one another, men committing shameless acts with men and receiving in themselves the due penalty for their error.” Romas 1:26-27ESV. ——: “…nor adulterers, nor men who practice homosexuality,…nor thieves nor the greedy nor drunkards nor slanderers nor swindlers…” 1Corinthians 6:9-10ESV. ——: “…impurity, passion, evil desire, and covetousness, which is idolatry…” Colossians 3:5ESV. ——: “liars, perjurers” 1Timothy 1:10ESV ——: “A woman shall not wear a man's garment, nor shall a man put on a woman's cloak, for whoever does these things is an abomination to the Lord your God.” Deuteronomy 22:5ESV Cross-dressing, or transgenderism?

Sin are listed also throughout the first five books of the Bible. They cover everything besides praising God and breathing. God is HOLY. He can’t tolerate sin close to HIm. His glory burns sins up. To daily not sin— breaking God’s Laws — is impossible. Jesus died for the payment of ALL THOSE SINS to bring us close to God. Still, we can choose our pet sins above our Savior by constantly claiming ‘grace covers.’ I remember the night Yahweh said to me— ‘Let go of that sin. I won’t tolerate it in you any longer. I can’t live with your sin.’ Not once have I regretted letting go of what was wrong for relationship with God.

Are you hanging onto something which is holding you back from God’s best? Sins are forgiven. Relationships are chosen and built. Which do you want? It’s your choice. You choose.

LET’S PRAY: LORD God forgive us for choosing sin over You. Cleanse our desires, in the name of Jesus Christ.

GOD CAN USE YOU!! Part 1.

God has specific reasons for creating everything and nothing is too large or small for Him to use. Even ants have a function. Consider this...one colony of Allegheny Ants can move 5 tons of subsoil and turn it into topsoil in just one year! If that wasn't incredible enough, during the process of "creating" the topsoil, the saliva, digestive juices and other secretions from the ants enrich the soil by increasing the nutrients found therein. In order to move that much soil in such a relatively short period of time, the colony needs to work steadily and tirelessly. In Proverbs 6:6 we read: "Go to the ant, thou sluggard; consider her ways, and be wise:" If God can use a tiny ant to move and enrich the soil, how much more can He do through and with us?! Let's examine some of the ways we can be of use to Him.

God can use us when we see others compassionately.

In Matthew 9:36 we are told: "But when He (Jesus) saw the multitudes, He was moved with compassion on them, because they fainted and were scattered abroad as sheep having no shepherd..."

How many of us see others with the compassion of Christ? Do we take into account the circumstances surrounding and affecting them? Do we know their personal stories...their truths? DO WE REALLY WANT TO? Some people wear their "hearts on their sleeves," while others are as silent and staid as a statue. Many of those around us are easy to read and understand, however, the majority tend to be complex and almost inscrutable due to years of surviving in a duplicitous and ungodly society.

And yet, we are to exemplify Christ...not just in our thoughts, but also in our words and actions...in our emotions and beliefs...every day, not just when we feel like it...in every way, not just when convenient. This is not an option...it is the reality of the true believer in Christ.

The compassion of Christ is also made manifest through love...not through sexual or physical expressions but through Agape as described in 1 Corinthians 13:7 which states: love "...Beareth all things, believeth all things, hopeth all things, endureth all things. " In Christ, compassion and love are inseparable...and because of this, it is natural to reach out in compassionate tenderness to those in need.

It is necessary to remember that God is love (1John 4:16).

Jesus, in John 10:30, stated that He and His Father are One, therefore, Christ Jesus is also love. To understand Him more fully, read 1 Corinthians 13:7 thusly: Christ beareth all things, Christ believeth all things, Christ hopeth all things, Christ endureth all things. Christ loves all of His creation...even those we perceive to be different or unlovable...and since He loves them, so should we. People need the Lord...and they need to see and meet Him through us.

How often do we react to the desperate needs of mankind in fear...in contempt...or with rejection instead of being moved to compassion as Jesus was in Matthew 9:36b? Without Christ, we are all like blind men who are searching in a dark room for a black cat that doesn't actually exist! However, according to

1 Peter 2:9, God uses His children to reach people who are trapped in that desperate condition...He uses us to bring His light and His sight to that dark room.

Almighty and Everliving God, please open my eyes so that I see people in the way you want me to...open my heart so that Your love and compassion shines forth ...and use me however You want to so that Your Kingdom increases. To You belongs all the praise, honour and the glory now and forever. Amen

IN HIM: Psalm 72:17 His name shall endure for ever: his name shall be continued as long as the sun: and MEN SHALL BE BLESSED IN HIM: all nations shall call him blessed.

John 18:38 Pilate saith unto him, "What is truth?" And when he had said this, he went out again unto the Jews, and saith unto them, “I find IN HIM NO FAULT at all.”

Acts 7:28 For IN HIM WE LIVE AND MOVE AND HAVE OUR BEING; as certain also of your own poets have said, For we are also his offspring.

2Corinthians 1:20 For all the PROMISES OF GOD IN HIM ARE YEA! and in him Amen, unto the glory of God by us.

Colossians 2:9 For IN HIM DWELLETH all the fulness of the Godhead bodily.

Love God And Keep His Commandments

1John 5:1-21

1. Whosoever believeth that Jesus is the Christ is born of God: and every one that loveth him that begat loveth him also that is begotten of him.

2. By this we know that we love the children of God, when we love God, and keep his commandments.

3. For this is love of God, that we keep his commandments: and his commandments are not grievous.

4. For whatsoever is born of God overcometh the world: and this is the victory that overcometh the world, even our faith.

5. Who is he that overcometh the world, but he that believeth that Jesus is the Son of God?

6. This is he that came by water and blood, even Jesus Christ; not by water only, but by water and blood. And it is the Spirit that beareth witness, because the Spirit is truth.

7. For there are three that bear record in heaven, the Father, the Word, and the Holy Ghost: and these three are one.

8. And there are three that bear witness in the earth, the spirit, and the water, and the blood: and these three agree in one.

9. If we receive the witness of men, the witness of God is greater: for this is the witness of God which he hath testified of his Son.

10. He that believeth on the Son of God hath the witness in himself: he that believeth not God hath made him a liar; because he believeth not the record that God gave of his Son.

11. And this is the record, that life, and this life is in his Son.

12. He that hath the Son hath life; and he that hath not the Son of God hath not life.

13. These things have I written unto you that believe on the name of the Son of God; that ye may know that ye have eternal life, and that ye may believe on the name of the Son of God.

14. And this is the confidence that we have in him, that, if we ask any thing according to his will,the heareth us:

15. And if we know that he hear us, whatsoever ask, we know that we have the petitions that we desired of him.

16. If any man see his brother sin a sin which is not unto death, he shall ask, and he shall give him life for them that sin not unto death. There is a sin unto death: I do not say that he shall pray for it.

17. All unrighteousness is sin: and there is a sin not unto death.

18. We know that whosoever is born of God sinneth not; but he that is begotten of God keepeth himself, and that wicked one toucheth him not.

19. And we know that we all are of God, and the whole world lieth in wickedness.

20. And we know that the Son of God is come, and hath given us an understanding, that we may know him that is true, and we are in him that is true, even in his Son Jesus Christ. This is the true God, and eternal life.

21. Little children, keep yourselves from idols. Amen.

NEW WINE IN AN OLD BOTTLE

Matt.12:33 Either make the tree good, and his fruit good; or else make the tree corrupt, and his fruit

corrupt: for the tree is known by his fruit."1 Peter l:14.

KEY VERSE: James 3:11-12 *Doth a fountain send forth at the same place sweet water and bitter?

Can the fig tree, my brethren, bear olive berries? either a vine figs? so can no fountain both yield salt water

and fresh.

"Ye shall know them by their fruits. Do men gather grapes of thorns, or figs of thistles? Even so every

good tree bringeth forth good fruit; but a corrupt tree bringeth forth evil fruit. A good tree cannot bring

forth evil fruit, neither can a corrupt tree bring forth good fruit. Every tree that bringeth not forth good

fruit is hewn down, and cast into the fire."Matt.7:16-19

Anyone who has given his or her life to Christ is born-again and does not go back to live a sinful life.

A child of God is somebody that has been cleansed by the blood of Jesus Christ and has become a clean

vessel, therefore does not continue to practice the old life of sin.

The new birth comes with a new life; you

cannot be living the old life in the new birth, and say you are born again.

Anyone who claims to be born

again and continues to live in his old Iife style is yet to be born again, because the new birth always comes

with transformation of heart and change of life style and this change is both inside and outside.

Once you

are born again the first evidence is that you will stop living in your old sinful life, cease from living a life

style that conforms to the world and start living the life of Christ.

The Bible says "Whosoever is born of

God doth not commit sin; for his seed remaineth in him: and he cannot sin, because he is born of God.

1John 3:9.

The Bible also says “But fornication, and all uncleanness, or covetousness, let It not be once

named among you, as becometh saints; neither filthiness, nor foolish talking, nor jesting, which are not

convenient: but rather giving of thanks."

Ephesians 5:3-4

The truth is, when your heart is regenerated and transformed even your dressing will also change,

you will stop wearing the sexy and seductive clothing you used to wear when you were not born

again, and you will start dressing as a Christian to please God instead of conforming to the world.

You will be much disciplined in your dressing and always stay clear from every form of clothing that can make

others stumble or fall.

It is gross indecency for a born again to wear slitted or short skirt or clothing

exposing the legs, laps, hips or underwear. All skirts and gowns should be free and quite below the knees at sitting position.

Bible says "And it shall come to pass in the day of the LORD'S sacrifice, that I will punish the princes, and the King's children, and all such that are clothed with strange apparel.

Zephenia.1:8.

The change in your life as a Christian should be therefore both in your inside and the outside life

style and not only either of them.

We therefore cannot deceive

ourselves by still carrying on with our old

life style in the new birth and still say we are born again.

The Bible : says "Nevertheless the foundation of

God standeth sure, having this seal, The Lord knoweth them that are His and let everyone that nameth

the name of Christ depart from iniquity." 2 Tim. 2:19
