Life on earth is real, very short, and not to be taken lightly. Life is all about fearing God, and keeping His commandments. I wish all could understand!
Jesus said, blessed is he, whosoever shall not be offended in me.
The gospel hurts at times; it makes us mad at times, yet the gospel of Christ ALWAYS works for the good of those who love Him, obeying His commandments, following His call. Wait on the Lord; He is full of love and tender mercies.
The church is made up of individuals, some who love the Lord, and some who never seem to get what serving God is really about; which is the losing of self unto the gaining of Christ, following Him daily by walking in His Word obeying His commands as it is written, and not as we see it through our flesh, which gets in the way if we allow it to.
Sin is pleasurable for a season, but sin will forsake you in an eternity of torments.
Don't believe the lie that you can govern sin; in our flesh we are no match for sin, sin will govern us strait to a devils hell which was not intended for the souls of man, but to whom you yield yourselves unto, his servant you are, either sin unto death or Righteousness unto life eternal.)
I have been hurt by the church, I have also at times, in times past, hurt the church, but in hurting, I have learned to forgive, in forgiving, I have learned to love, in loving, I have learned to live! To Truly live is to follow Christ.
Matthew 6:14-15~ For if ye forgive men their trespasses, your heavenly Father will also forgive you: But if ye forgive not men their trespasses, neither will your Father forgive your trespasses.
To love is much more profitable than to hate.

Follow the Formula!
Follow the Formula!
You walk into math class, the Professor tells you the formula of which their is only one for the equation, and your reply to him or her is, I do not believe that is the formula, their reply to you, is do it your way if you will, but be sure your answer will be wrong!
There is One Truth.
Acts 19:1-6~ "And it came to pass, that, while Apollos was at Corinth, Paul having passed through the upper coasts came to Ephesus: and finding certain disciples, He said unto them, Have ye received the Holy Ghost since ye believed? And they said unto him, We have not so much as heard whether there be any Holy Ghost. And he said unto them, Unto what then were ye baptized? And they said, Unto John's baptism. Then said Paul, John verily baptized with the baptism of repentance, saying unto the people, that they should believe on him which should come after him, that is, on Christ Jesus. When they heard this, they were baptized in the name of the Lord Jesus. And when Paul had laid his hands upon them, the Holy Ghost came on them; and they spake with tongues, and prophesied."
To be saved, you must obey Truth, that is the only saving option.
Galatians 5:7~ "Ye did run well; who did hinder you that ye should not obey the truth?"
1 Peter 2:7~ "Unto you therefore which believe he is precious: but unto them which be disobedient, the stone which the builders disallowed, the same is made the head of the corner, And a stone of stumbling, and a rock of offence, even to them which stumble at the word, being disobedient: whereunto also they were appointed."
Peter did not say they did not believe, but he wrote they were DISOBEDIENT, STUMBLING at the WORD. Do you have to be lost? No
***There are two roads you can travel, one is righteousness which is God's Truth or sin which basically is the way that naturally seems right unto us, and all you have to do to follow sin is live and do nothing but go to the way which seems right unto you.
Do you believe that you can be sincerely wrong, and be lost?
Trust only the written Word for your answer, trust not in your emotions.
Matthew 23:15~ "Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! For ye compass sea and land to make one proselyte, and when he is made, ye make him twofold more the child of hell than yourselves."
THE PROSELYTE WAS SINCERELY WRONG, yet he is still lost.
Believe the TRUTH! There is only One.
There is no wavering in the Word of God, and
NO ONE SEES THEMSELVES in this next passage of scripture,
but the Word says MANY WILL BE!
Matthew 7:21-23~ Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven. Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works? And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity.
We can only know Him by being born again ACCORDING to the WORD OF GOD! not as we see it, but as it is written. Follow the formula, There is only One!
Obey Acts 2:38, and get in THE CHURCH.
I am tired of writing, your tired of reading, I hope someone has been encouraged by this, good night, and God bless!

The Carnal Mind is the Enemy of God!
Romans 8:6-8~ For to be carnally minded is death; but to be spiritually minded is life and peace. Because the carnal mind is enmity against God: for it is not subject to the law of God, neither indeed can be. So then they that are in the flesh cannot please God.
When my mind lifts me up, I quickly cast me down realizing vanity is a destroyer of many souls. Ecclesiastes 12:13~ "Let us hear the conclusion of the whole matter: Fear God, and keep his commandments: for this is the whole duty of man."
When my flesh would make idols unto me and around me, I quickly tear them down. Matthew 4:10~ "Then saith Jesus unto him, Get thee hence, Satan: for it is written, Thou shalt worship the Lord thy God, and him only shalt thou serve."
When praise of men I would receive; I quickly acknowledge my God, turning unto Him the glory.
Matthew 4:8-10~ "Again, the devil taketh him up into an exceeding high mountain, and sheweth him all the kingdoms of the world, and the glory of them; And saith unto him, All these things will I give thee, if thou wilt fall down and worship me. Then saith Jesus unto him, Get thee hence, Satan: for it is written, Thou shalt worship the Lord thy God, and him only shalt thou serve."
The One, True God, Jehovah! He is high and lifted up!
Let All Nations declare that He is Great beyond expression!
His name will I ever praise in the presence of His Majesty!

Awake Thou that Sleepest;
Wake up People!!!! Forever is around the corner, where will you spend it.
Wake up People!!!! Forever is around the corner, where will you spend it.
It is written in Joel 3:14~ Multitudes, multitudes in the valley of decision: for the day of the LORD is near in the valley of decision.
God is full of love, yet He is also full of judgments; as it is written so it is. Learn of Him while there is time; obey Him and reap His many benefits.
There is only One!
John 1:1~ In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. The same was in the beginning with God. All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made. In him was life; and the life was the light of men. And the light shineth in darkness; and the darkness comprehended it not. And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father, full of grace and truth.
Begotten means Beginning.
In short form, the omnipresent, eternal Spirit of God, made Himself a fleshly body and came as Emanuel whose name is Jesus, dwelling among us, delivering the gospel of the Kingdom of God unto us, that we might be saved through it, if we will obey it and continue in it. There is only One!
There is only One Lord, One Faith, One baptism and One name which saves, and that name is Jesus who also is Lord of all, the Faith which saves is the Gospel we follow, and knowing my eternity rest on that which I believe and obey, I must follow Truth of which There is only One! We are covered by the blood through water baptism in the name of Jesus Christ in obedience to God's Word, Acts 4:12~ Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved. We are sealed unto Him when we receive the Spirit of promise, (which is the Holy Ghost.)
Ephesians 1:13~ In whom ye also trusted, after that ye heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation: in whom also after that ye believed, ye were sealed with that holy Spirit of promise, Acts 2:39~ For the promise is unto you, and to your children, and to all that are afar off, even as many as the Lord our God shall call.
The question is not, do I need to obey the Truth to be saved, but will I obey the Truth and be saved.

Just Strait>
I am just a simple man part of a big plan, an extension of God's salvation message that was once delivered unto man. The conduit is strait, the message is clear, there are no elbow or Tee joints, no 45 angles, just strait.
I am just a simple man part of a big plan, an extension of God's salvation message that was once delivered unto man. The conduit is strait, the message is clear, there are no elbow or Tee joints, no 45 angles, just strait.
The first apostolic message preached by Peter in Acts 2, is still the way into the church today; Romans through Jude tell all who enter through the Door how to stay in the church, and how to walk according to the Word of God, the Word is all we have; the rest are opinions and false emotions.
I am soooo glad a preacher of Righteousness cared enough to deny himself that I might also learn how to walk in True Righteousness before God, I know the life that I lived and what God brought me out of, darkness that is; into His Marvelous light, and He does care which doctrine I teach. I love you, Lord.
1 Timothy 4:16~ Take heed unto thyself, and unto the doctrine; continue in them: for in doing this thou shalt both save thyself, and them that hear thee.
