Permission vs. Forgiveness

Acts 5:3 (KJV)

[3] But Peter said, Ananias, why hath Satan filled thine heart to lie to the Holy Ghost, and to keep back part of the price of the land?

Some Have Said That It Is Easier To Get Forgiveness Than Permission…

“Misguided and Deathly Advise”

for Ananias and Sapphira!

*Unfortunately Permission Would Have Been Granted-

Had Not Obsession For Public Opinion Been More Important!

(Authority and Submission)

Are Not To Trifled With,

God Takes It Seriously Even If You Don’t!

My Advise-

Being Safe Is Better Than Being Sorry…

Do I Really Need A Watchman?

Ezekiel 33:7 (KJV)

[7] ¶ So thou, O son of man, I have set thee a watchman unto the house of Israel; therefore thou shalt hear the word at my mouth, and warn them from me.

Warn Them,  from Me…

God’s All Seeing Eyes Use A Watchman to Warn The People!

If As Modern Religion Would Have Us Believe Then We No Longer Need This Outdated Obsolete Method…

You Pray and You Bypass The Need of A Watchman…

“God Speaks To Us Too Moses”

Didn’t Work Out Well For Aarón and Miriam…

Do I Really Need A Watchman?

Well… you can trust todays new religious right and bright or-

Continue Trusting God’s Age Old Trusty Tool-

Son of man, I’ve set thee a Watchman…

What Will You Today,

Go It Alone or Trust God’s Program?

Do I Really Need A Watchman?

Reflections

Proverbs 27:19 (KJV)

[19] As in water face answereth to face, so the heart of man to man.

Still Waters Reflect Back To You An Image…

As Does Your Heart If You Would Look…

You May Not Like What You See

It May Not Be What You Thought You’d See…

Reflection Is Not To Be Confused With Dreaming!

Reflection Is An Accurate Description of What Really Is!

The Fool Is Too Busy But The Wise Take Time To Reflect!

What Do You See?

False Confidence

Jeremiah 9:23 (KJV)

[23] ¶ Thus saith the LORD, Let not the wise man glory in his (wisdom), neither let the mighty man glory in his (might), let not the rich man glory in his (riches):

“Wisdom- Might-Riches”

Often As Not Intoxicate One

Into A False Sense of Confidence…

Not Understanding That These Didn’t “Originate”  With You-

But Were Given by God!

Don’t Allow The Blessing Become Your Over Confident Downfall!

There Is No Good Thing In Us-

Only God…

Don’t Become Intoxicated And Lose Your Balance…

When People Praise You-

Be Careful, Stay Sober…

Where Would You Be Without God?

Your Reward Is What You Pursue

Matthew 16:26 (KJV)

[26] For what is a man profited, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul? or what shall a man give in exchange for his soul?

At The End of The Day-

“What” You Pursued Is The Result of “What” You Invested Time and Energy In…

Profits Aren’t Based On Chance…

No More That a Farmer’s Wheat Crop…

The Way To Gain The World Is Quite Simple

Neglect Your Soul and Pander To Your Flesh!

The Reverse Is Also an Option-

Take Time and Care for Your Soul

And Your Soul Will Be Saved…

If God Gave Us At The End of The Day A Graph Showing Time and Energy Spent:

On Flesh vs. Soul, Most Would Show an Inordinate Imbalance-The Flesh!

A Contradiction of Values?

• The Flesh-Will Die Soon

• The Soul-Will Live Eternally

And Yet We Spend Inordinate Time and Energy on What Will Die Soon- Rather Than The Eternal Soul…

• Eating

• Sleeping

• Washing

• Relaxing

• Dressing

• Grooming

• Rewarding

• Housing

• Protecting

All The While Neglecting The Eternal Soul

Or Barely Throwing Left Overs to The Soul…

You Might Want To Reevaluate Your Priorities Today!

The Weight of Our Words

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.

Man Weighs Appearance and Performance-

God Weighs Words…

Liberty’s Eyes May Be Blindfolded With Scales ⚖️ In Her Hand:

But God Sees All Even The Heart…

He Weighs Words That We Speak; Every Word…

Makes Me Nervous Yet Careful!

So, How Will You Weigh In Tonight?
