Modern Day Christianity

2 Kings 17:33 (KJV)

[33] They feared the LORD, and served their own gods, after the manner of the nations whom they carried away from thence.

A Paradox of Untold Proportions…

Fear The Lord and Still Serve Your Own Gods!

Kind of Like Going To Church and Still Sinning…

Kind of Like Claiming to be a Christian and still Cussing…

Kind of Like Praying on Sunday and Drinking on Monday…

Modern Day Christianity Is Like Looking For a Needle in The Haystack to Find Christ!

When People See You

Do They See Christ?

Do They Feel Christ?

Or-

Are We A Paradox of Untold Proportions?

Christian definition is - Christ-Like or To Be Like Christ!

Is There A Spirit of Repentance?

Luke 19:8-9 (KJV)

[8] And Zacchaeus stood, and said unto the Lord; Behold, Lord, the half of my goods I give to the poor; and if I have taken any thing from any man by false accusation, I restore him fourfold.

[9] And Jesus said unto him, This day is salvation come to this house, forsomuch as he also is a son of Abraham.

The Answer Is Yes!

Never Forget That The 1st Step To God Is “Repentance”

True Repentance Causes Men to Do Drastic Things…to make things right!

The Things That Zacchaeus Was Doing Are Actually Things We Try And Get Christians To Do.

And He Was Doing It - Before Salvation and The Day of Pentecost!

Yes…There Is A Spirit of Repentance.

One Decision Can Make a Difference

2 Timothy 1:5 (KJV)

[5] When I call to remembrance the unfeigned faith that is in thee, which dwelt first in thy grandmother Lois, and thy mother Eunice; and I am persuaded that in thee also.

*The unbelievable power when one person makes a decision of Faith, it cannot be measured, and its tremendous ability to be passed down.

Somehow, Faith has the ability to be passed down to the next generation.

Salvation must be an individual commitment!

Whereas Faith exampled, and its power can be contagious!

What one decision can do, and make a difference for many generations.

Make the one decision today that will absolutely affect your whole family! Have Faith in God!

Fear Not

2 Kings 6:15-16 (KJV)

[15] And when the servant of the man of God was risen early, and gone forth, behold, an host compassed the city both with horses and chariots. And his servant said unto him, Alas, my master! how shall we do?

[16] And he answered, Fear not: for they that be with us are more than they that be with them.

Looking At The Enemy and Sizing Up The Opposition Has Never Fared Well For The People Of God!

When Men Face Men Over Earthly Things This May Be Wise.  But When The People Of God Face Men and Enemies It’s A Completely Different Dimension!

Fear Not When You’re On God’s Side - Only Fear When You Are Not!

You Better Be Careful With Sympathy

Proverbs 17:15 (KJV)

[15] He that justifieth the wicked, and he that condemneth the just, even they both are abomination to the LORD.

We’re Living In A World of Excusing Wrong and Condemning Right…

Sympathizing With Evil Doers Because of Wrongs Committed Against Them - Is Like Justifying Hitler Because of The Jews!

Just People Should Not Be Condemned Because They Don’t Agree With Your Sympathies!

Love For Family Should Never Justify Wrong -

Often Causing Condemnation To Those Who Won’t Justify Them Too!

You Better Be Careful With Sympathy… You Don’t Want To Be An Abomination To God!

Instructions or Hopes?

Proverbs 17:17 (KJV)

[17] A friend loveth at all times, and a brother is born for adversity.

Is God Instructing or Hoping?

I Think Both!

•    A True Friend Loves at All Times…

•    A Brother Is Strength For and Against Adversity…

Not Only Has God Allowed The Writer To Observe This Tremendous Phenomenon but…

Anoints It With His Spirit as A Desirable Character Trait To Obtain!

1.    Love As A True Friend

2.    Strengthen the Brethren

Sounds Like The Instructions He Gave Peter!

•    Love Me and Feed My Sheep

•    Strength The Brethren

Not Worth Repeating

Proverbs 17:9 (KJV)

[9] He that covereth a transgression seeketh love; but he that repeateth a matter separateth very friends.

Amplified Version-

Proverbs 17:9 (AMP)

[9] He who covers and forgives an offense seeks love, but he who repeats or harps on a matter separates even close friends.

Offenses Are Like Scabbed Over Wounds…

You Keep Picking At and They Will Never Heal,

And That Will Only Hurt You!

Forgiveness Does More For You Than The Offender…

Forgiveness Is A Result of Love.

And Love Makes Some Things Not Worth Repeating….
