Let's Get Back to the Three
"R's" of Truth
These can only be found in a KJB
rightly divided!
The
Righteous Jesus The Risen
Jesus The Returning
Jesus
If you don't, you will end up with:
another Jesus, another Spirit, another
gospel
ministers of righteousness
people trusting in their own righteousness
flattering, flowery and fruitless sermons
humanistic Biblical counseling that
does nothing but resurrect the flesh a little better but only for a short
time
finding yourself following personalities
in spite you knowing they are not preaching, teaching or being a testimony
of truth
letting music be your comfort, guide,
and power in your life
seeking power in your prayer with no
results, losing faith in a God that truly cares
an ecumenical compromising church 'falling
away' in many if not all areas.
Acts 2 church
design vs Ephesians 4,5
following Peter instead of Paul
following James or Jude
following the preacher
Jewish teachings!
living in fear of God's chastisement
living in fear of your pastor's and
other's opinions of you
fear of man
Proverbs 29:25
- The fear of man bringeth a snare: but
whoso putteth his trust in the LORD shall be safe.
living with frustration because you
will still find yourself not even trying to walk that 'pleasing to God'
walk
weakening and slipping back - fainting
- from any standard you have tried to develop as you have learned some
biblical knowledge and judgment in the past-
remember? ... when you first began to
learn to approve things that are excellent and acceptable unto the Lord?
Remember?
loving pleasures more than God
loving money
increasing your love of self and becoming
your own worst enemy
calling evil good and good evil
finding your enjoyment turning back
to loud, improper fleshy, riotous, unsobering & power over you, bad
testimony of fun
your testimony going down the drain
- the won't be taking you serious as a sincere Christian
you will be mocked as a loser, liar
and hypocrite by your 'family,' your church family and your so-called 'friends.'
your judgment seat will not be important
to you anymore.
God loses His glory of His truth that
you were striving to represent
