Everyone wants to be free, but many mistakenly want to be free from God.

“Then many false prophets will rise up and deceive many. And because lawlessness will abound, the love of many will grow cold.” (Matthew 24:11-12)
a. For love to grow cold it had to be there to begin with, so this is referring to Christians.
b. The overall effect or influence of false prophets produces lawlessness (loose living) in Christians, which in turn leads to them losing their love for the LORD.
It shows that false prophets preach a false gospel of cheap grace, whereby people think the grace and love of God will still apply to them if they are unrepentant or redefine what sin is so as to justify their chosen lifestyle.
“For certain men have crept in unnoticed, who long ago were marked out for this condemnation, ungodly men, who turn the grace of our God into lewdness and deny the only Lord God and our Lord Jesus Christ.” (Jude 4)

Jesus is far more glorious than we can imagine, so don’t try and imagine what He looks like. If you do, it won’t be Him.
…..
If you don’t have the love of Christ, then do you even have a life?
Can you imagine this planet and this human race without the love of God? What would it be without His love?

Once Jesus has justified a person by His own blood, then, as justification is now behind them, all there is is to live for His glory. And what a fantastic life that is.
…..
Don’t go advertising your body to the world, save it for your true companion, your true love, alone.

Everybody has broken God’s law. Where He said, ‘You shall not!’, we defiantly replied, ‘We shall!’.
We are going to need His forgiveness, aren’t we?

“Then He took the five loaves and the two fish, and looking up to heaven, He blessed and broke them, and gave them to the disciples to set before the multitude. So they all ate and were filled, and twelve baskets of the leftover fragments were taken up by them.” (Luke 9:16-17)
Five loaves and two fishes were enough.
Whatever we have in our hand is enough for God to work with.
…..
“And they were all filled with the Holy Spirit…” (Acts 2:4a)
This is how the church started.

Worship in song is just one of many ways to worship God, and while it is wonderful, it’s not the most important vehicle of worship.
And regarding songs, it’s not the melody or accompaniment which is the most important part, it is the truth igniting in the heart which is.
Therefore, only those who love the truth can truly worship in song.

When TV preachers tell you the Gospel is the means to success they don’t tell you that most of the successful people in the world don’t believe the Gospel.
….
Jesus Christ is the only truly SELFLESS Man who ever lived.

It’s certainly true that if any Christian is preoccupied with things other than proclaiming Jesus Christ, then the devil has hijacked them.
