Being a Christian

Someone once said that being a Christian is too hard. Many become discouraged because of our human fallacies. The bible is full of things that we are not to do. 

Jesus Himself sternly warns us to avoid sin. 

But how do you do it when everything is pulling you towards sin?  

First of all it is important to know that we are all sinners with a variety of sins. We are all depraved.  

If we are Christians we should take the bible seriously. We should not try to change it to our liking to justify our sins. 

What we need to do is repent on a daily basis. We need to ask Him to help us avoid sin. 

Test this and you will see how He moves to change circumstances, plans or whatever might cause you to knowingly sin. I know this to be true. 

The Lord's prayer is a perfect prayer to begin your day with.  Scripture reads that His grace is sufficient in all circumstances. 

While we ARE called to obedience it is a work in progress. 

Nothing worthwhile comes easy. But the deeper your relationship with the Lord, the more joy you have, the more determined you become to please Him; the One that gave His life for His beloved.  

So do not be discouraged on your journey instead deepen your relationship with Him. 

If you have not asked Jesus to reveal Himself to you then i encourage you to do so out of my love for you. He satisfies a hungry heart and His mercies are new every morning!

In His love and mine!

How important is scripture to Jesus?


Heaven and earth may disappear. But I promise you that not even a full stop or comma will ever disappear from the Law. Everything written in it must happen. If you reject even the least important command in the Law and teach others to do the same, you will be the least important person in the kingdom of heaven. But if you obey and teach others its commands, you will have an important place in the kingdom. (Matthew 5:18, 19 CEVUK00)

Seems as though it was very important to Him!  Do not try to dismiss the word of god. Do not be taken in by progressiveness.

Lukewarm

I know everything you have done, and you are not cold or hot. I wish you were either one or the other. But since you are lukewarm and neither cold nor hot, I will spit you out of my mouth. (Revelation 3:15, 16 CEVUK00)

The Holy Bible - Gods word incarnate

I am so tired and disheartened sometimes to see the ideologies of this new age. 

I just read an article about how "Progressive Christians" think that the readings in the bible cannot be taken seriously because it was written by fallible men and not the hand of God.

Seriously?

I encourage anyone that listens to this nonsense to do a whole lot of soul searching and praying about this before you jump on this progressive band wagon.

The Holy Bible is holy in that God gave men the ability, prophecy and gift to proclaim His good name.

He calls all sinners to repent and to accept Jesus as their personal Savior.  He does call us to obedience. 

We, as Christians need to stand firm on God's word and should not stand for those that would interpret the bible to their liking. 

It is what it says!  Nothing more.  Nothing less.

You either believe it or you don't.  There is no in between.

As Christians and fellow sinners, we are called not to condemn, but to be the light, the hands and feet of the Lord.
