Don’t need Him

If we don’t pray it means we don’t need God’s help, we can do it alone… great!!!

 

Great delusion.

A better world…

I believe that in a democracy the political leaders should be kept in a socialist enclave while they are in office, not receiving any pay or payments, except a small cash allowance, and having to live in a simple government housing estate, with no perks.

 

Why?

 

Because in a democracy they are supposed to be servants of the people, working for us.

Scripture and us

Commented on Facebook:

 

The Holy Spirit inspired or breathed scripture.

 

The very same Holy Spirit indwells a believer, teaching them the words He inspired.

 

So , the believer knows by the Spirit the difference between inspired and uninspired writings.

 

The inspired text is already engraved in our hearts, in the New Covenant.

His business

Our private life is our business, and it’s also God’s business as He gives us every breath we take.

Learning the right desires

His people learn to desire what He desires.

 

He teaches us to desire what He desires.

Wow!

If you see something so amazing that you stop and say, Wow! …. that’s something like the concept of worship.

 

God is of such a nature that the only appropriate response to Him is worship.

 

This is why people in Heaven worship God, because they can see Him.

Feasts

There are two kinds of FEASTS mentioned in the New Covenant:

 

1. The love feast, or Lord’s Table, which is exclusive to those who are His.

 

2. The feast we should throw for the poor, hungry and marginalized of society, which is inclusive.

Influence

Be a good influence in the lives of folks, because they have enough bad influences already.

The only reality

The truth about God and life in the Bible is the real reality.

Evil is good?

What if you’re adrift in the sea of moral relativism and you’re the product of social engineering to the extent you think evil is good?

Problem

Here’s the problem: Socialism needs tax revenue. Tax revenue is generated by capitalism.

The answer

Joy comes from knowing the LORD.

 

Now you have the answer.

Meeting God

Would you like to meet God?

 

Everyone will meet Him one day whether they like it or not.

Life in Heaven

The best restaurants? The best coffee? Lavish homes?

 

The Bible doesn’t give us much detail about life in Heaven.

 

It must be so.much more glorious than we have the vocabulary to describe.

 

We know we will never hunger, thirst or weep again. We’ll never get sick, never get tired, never age, and never die.

 

We will perfectly know we are loved, and be able to perfectly love.

 

We will see Jesus face to face.

Where do you get your life?

Even the most perfect thing in the world can’t give you life.

Moral relativism

Quote

 

“If there is no objective morality then love is no better than murder.”

At first glance this statement appears to be quite extravagant to say the least. Any rational person knows that there is a stark contrast between love and murder, so isn’t it absurd to say that there is a world where these two things could be equal?

 

Surprisingly enough the world of moral relativism lays the groundwork for this kind of absurdity to exist in real-time. The fact that we all know innately that love and murder are opposite concepts on the moral spectrum is reason to believe that moral relativism is a bankrupt idealogy. In the world of relative morality we find that the definition of right and wrong is decided by popular opinion and human desire. This means, one society could consider murder as a grevious crime while at the same time a different society could consider murder as a utilitarian good, and neither could say the other is acting immorally.

Occupied

As love for God is the main thing in life, this is the main thing we need to be occupied with.

Political prayer?

Good to pray for political leaders, but not political-type prayers, rather, pray for them as precious human beings, just how you would want someone to pray for you.

Not progress

Heard something funny yesterday, that Liberals now go by the label, Progressives.

 

We wouldn’t want to be against progress now, would we?

 

But redefining basic human morality cannot be called progress.

Not true Christianity at all

Here’s something i’ve been trying to articulate lately.

 

We are called to teach what scripture actually teaches.

 

If people don’t want to be taught by God’s word, then who’s word do they want to be taught by?

 

Then, when you simply teach what the Bible teaches the crowd screams, You’re attacking and tearing down, not building up!

 

They have become so comfortable believing things which are not true that simple Bible teaching is perceived as threatening or offensive.

 

Objectivity has been lost.

 

Subjectivity has replaced it.

 

The result is neurotic and even schizophrenic Christians.

 

Joel Osteen embodies it. He has implied that to teach all of the New Testament would be to “beat people down”, and to ignore most of it is to “build people up”.

 

Not attacking Joel Osteen but his approach encapsulates a subjective, feel good approach to Christianity which is not true Christianity to begin with.
