Why We Need Jesus

Mark 7:21-23 (KJV)

[21] For from within, out of the heart of men, proceed evil thoughts, adulteries, fornications, murders, [22] Thefts, covetousness, wickedness, deceit, lasciviousness, an evil eye, blasphemy, pride, foolishness: [23] All these evil things come from within, and defile the man.

Psychology and Self Help Mediums Can Only Do So Much As To Taming The Beast Within! 

But Jesus, Through The Holy Ghost Is The Only “Real-Power” That Controls and Subdues Your Inherited “Adam Nature”

Our Power Is Not From Within  “Au Contraire Mon ami…” It Is From Above!

Where The Real Problem Is

Mark 7:15 (KJV)

[15] There is nothing from without a man, that entering into him can defile him: but the things which come out of him, those are they that defile the man.

We spend more time worrying about what’s around us and what influences us!

When The Real Problem Is Within Us.

If You Would Take Care and Clean What’s Within Then The Other Is Of No Relevance.

It Is What’s Already In Us That Will Defile.

Your Words Are Revealing

Luke 6:45 (KJV)

[45] A good man out of the good treasure of his heart bringeth forth that which is good; and an evil man out of the evil treasure of his heart bringeth forth that which is evil: for of the abundance of the heart his mouth speaketh.

Lie #1: Sticks and stones may break my bones but words can never hurt me.

YOUR WORDS CAN HURT YOU.

The Summation of The Scripture Was Jesus Saying, I Quote: Of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaketh.

One Stirs and The Other Covers

Proverbs 10:12 (KJV)
[12] Hatred stirreth up strifes: but love covereth all sins.

Proverbs 10:12 (NLTSE)
[12] Hatred stirs up quarrels, but love makes up for all offenses.

You Cannot Change What Will Happen Today, But You Can Change How You Handle It! 

Stir It or Cover It?
Use A Spoon or A Blanket?
Hatred or Love?

The Antithesis of Our Day

Psalms 39:4 (KJV)

[4] LORD, make me to know mine end, and the measure of my days, what it is; that I may know how frail I am.

Nothing could be more of an opposite attitude of our day.

Everybody wants to live for ever and live like they will never die. Not only denying their frailty, but are obsessed with proving how strong they are. 

The Prayer of The Wise Man Is Not So Glorious As The Fool’s.

While The One Causes You To Take Caution of Every Day of Life. The Other Causes You To Live With Abandonment and Throw Caution To The Wind!

One Realizes The Consequences while the other ignores it’s soon coming appointment.

Pure Christianity

Luke 6:35 (KJV)

[35] But love ye your enemies, and do good, and lend, hoping for nothing again; and your reward shall be great, and ye shall be the children of the Highest: for he is kind unto the unthankful and to the evil.

A Selfish and Self Centered Generation knows nothing of “Self Sacrifice”. They think to pay and give their way out of what they have no time to sacrifice for. When He Has Your Heart He Has Your Money.

Your Money Without Your Heart is Sacrilege.

Your Heart Without Your Money is Hypocrisy.

Pursuing The Wrong Thing

Psalms 37:16 (KJV)

[16] A little that a righteous man hath is better than the riches of many wicked.

The meager crumbs of the righteous are far greater in price than the riches of many wicked people, because The Righteous possess… “Peace and Contentment”

Because life is not measured in the “Things” you have accumulated but rather in what you possess in your heart!
