Situational Ethics

Deuteronomy 25:13 (KJV)

Thou shalt not have in thy bag divers weights, a great and a small.

Deuteronomy 25:13 (AMP)

You shall not have in your bag true and false weights, a large and a small.

(Situational Ethics) means that

“Depending on the Situation”

You Will Determine Which Weight You Will Pull Out of Your Bag…

to Make Your Decision!

The Outcome will not always be True,

But it Will Fit Your Desired End…

God Demands that you have Only One Weight

That is True….

The Folly of a Narcissist

Proverbs 12:9 (KJV)

He that is despised, and hath a servant, is better than he that honoureth himself, and lacketh bread.

NLTse

Better to be an ordinary person with a servant than to be self-important but have no food.

Definition of a Narcissist-

When God Decides to Prove You

Deuteronomy 13:1-3 (KJV)

1 If there arise among you a prophet, or a dreamer of dreams, and giveth thee a sign or a wonder,

2 And the sign or the wonder come to pass, whereof he spake unto thee, saying, Let us go after other gods, which thou hast not known, and let us serve them;

3 Thou shalt not hearken unto the words of that prophet, or that dreamer of dreams:

for *(the LORD your God proveth you),

to know whether ye love the LORD your God with all your heart and with all your soul.

In this passage we find that God is not Proving the False Prophet!

He is Proving the (Listener)…

“Who (You Listen) to Does Matter”

Do You Love the Lord Your God With All Your Heart and Soul?

Proof then, is in Who You’re Listening To…

Final Words

Psalms 72:19-20 (KJV)

And blessed be his glorious name for ever: and *let the whole earth be filled with his glory;

Amen, and Amen.

*The prayers of David the son of Jesse (are ended).

When we think of (Final Words) it comes to mind:

-Death-Bed Wishes

-Funerals

-Diaries

-Tombstones

-Reading of a Will

And Yet Here After All His Prayers and Songs Written-

David is not mentioned as the King or Prophet

But just the (son) of…

Declares in a Final Breath of (Grand-Finale)

“Let the Whole Earth be Filled With His Glory”

Amen, and Amen!!!

What a Prayer of Finality!

Today Let’s Pray-

“Let the Whole Earth be Filled With His Glory”

Amen, Amen.

What Are (You) Doing Today?

Luke 9:23 (KJV)

23 And he said to them all, If any man will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross (daily), and follow me.

Milestones or Daily Recipe?

Milestones-

Are markers of accomplishments, or the measurement of distance traveled, or a measurement to the next destination.

Many never make it from one marker to the other in the Journey….

Whereas a Daily Recipe is a part of your life…

If you are following Christ then you must *Take up your cross Daily…

“Everyday”

Thank God for Last Nights Service or Yesterday’s Victory!

But, What Are You Doing Today?

If You’re Going to Live for God

Then You Will Have to, Though Painfully Struggling

Take Up (Your) Cross

Again Today!

Living for God is a Daily Practice

Not a (Milestone) Along the Way

But Rather a Daily Practice…

What Are (You) Doing Today?

1 Peter 4:11

Apostle and Traitor

Luke 6:13 and 16

13 And when it was day, he called unto him his disciples: and of them he chose twelve, whom also he named apostles;

16 And Judas Iscariot, which also was the traitor.

“JUDAS ISCARIOT”

Called by Jesus to be an Apostle-

Chose to be a Traitor….

Matthew 22:14 said-

For many are called, but *few are chosen.

*(Few choose to come)

Don’t sell your Birthright Esau!

For a bowl of soup…

Judas sold his Apostleship for 30 pieces of silver…

The scripture said Jesus (chose) the 12, which included Judas!

*Jesus had more Hope for Him

Then He had Sand to Stand!

Don’t Throw Away (His) Hope for You,

In Exchange for Worthless Trinkets…
