Reprobate?

2 Corinthians 13:5 (KJV)

[5] Examine yourselves, whether ye be in the faith; prove your own selves. Know ye not your own selves, how that Jesus Christ is in you, except ye be reprobates?

A Reprobate-

One who irrevocably believes a lie...

The Examination Is For Self Discovery So One Does Not End Up Reprobate...

. Are You In The Faith

. Prove Yourselves

. See If Jesus Christ Is In You

Don't Take Your Salvation for Granted...

Once Saved Always Saved-

Is False Doctrine...

Staying Saved Is As Important As Getting Saved...

Preventive Maintenance

Is Better Than Total Disaster-

An Once of Prevention Is Better

Than a Pound of Cure...

"Don't Become A Reprobate"

1 Corinthians 11:28 (KJV)

[28] But let a man examine himself, and so let him eat of that bread, and drink of that cup.

Before-Communion (BC)

A Final Examination-

Partaking in Holy Communion

Ought To Be Done Carefully!

An UnWorthy Candidate-

Actually Means Someone Who Carelessly Without 1st Examining Themselves and Doesn't Really Care...

And Takes Communion!

. Un Repented Sin

. Unforgiving

. Hatred Toward A Brother

. Un Submitted

. Unaccountable to Your Pastor

Examine and Then Be (Willing) To Repair and or Correct...

Things God Doesn't Do

That Only You Can Take Care Of...

Skewed or True?

Psalms 26:2 (KJV)

[2] Examine me, O LORD, and prove me; try my reins and my heart.

Self Examination Sometimes Leaves Things Unseen.

An Exam Is A Thorough Inspection…

A Third Party Inspection Often Sees What We Have Overlooked And Grown To Accept As Normal!

His All Seeing Eyes Really Do See All!

True Proof and an Un Skewed Examination Can Only Come From God!

If You Really Want Know If Your Ready, Ask God To Inspect, But Be Prepared for The Truth!

Communion Is Just A Few Days Away!

Examination Is A Must…

Skewed or True?

We’ll Soon Find Out!

1 Peter 4:11

Security or Insecurity?

Proverbs 28:1 (KJV)

[1] The wicked flee when no man pursueth: but the righteous are bold as a lion.

Security Is Reserved For The Righteous!

When You Do Right There's No Question or Fear!

Insecurity Is More Often Born

Because You're Doing Questionable Things...

The Age Old Adage For the Righteous Is -

When In Doubt, Don't!

But Insecure People Are Always Testing The Waters, Fudging The Lines... Hoping It'll All Work Out- But It Doesn't!

The Wicked Flee When No One Is Pursuing- *Insecure...

Secure Confidence Is Birthed from Doing What's Right.

And Will Make You Bold As A Lion!

Lion or Mouse- You Choose!

1 Peter 4:11

In Pursuit of Enough Money!

1 Timothy 6:9 (KJV)

[9] But they that will be rich fall into temptation and a snare, and into many foolish and hurtful lusts, which drown men in destruction and perdition.

In Life One Needs To Determine-

. What Is Adequate

. What Is Needful

. What Is Excessive

The Lines Are Often Blurred by

Justification...

And Philanthropic Intentions...

But Regardless of Intent It Doesn't Change-

(Desire and Longing)

To Be Rich...

Whether for Good or Bad!

The Consequences of Just

Desiring and Longing

For Wealth- Has Me Trembling!

Regardless of My Intentions...

The Question As I See It Is-

Are We Content With What God Provides?

He Takes Care of The Lily and Sparrow-

Do I Trust Him To Take Care of Me?

1 Peter 4:11

Questionable Actions

Exodus 2:12 (KJV)

[12] And he looked this way and that way, and when he saw that there was no man, he slew the Egyptian, and hid him in the sand.

Though Mose Fled From Egypt

Because of Pharaoh-

We Don't Ever See That He Regretted His Decision!

Sometimes "Doing The Right Thing" Causes Consequences That Are Unfavorable at Best

And Sometimes Dangerous!

Sometimes You'll Lose Face and Favor and Even Friends...

But Ask Yourself This:

Did I Do The Right Thing?

If The Answer Is Yes!!!

Then Take Solace and Comfort

In Knowing That-

"You Did The Right Thing"

Regardless of The Consequences....

Now Go Do The Right Thing!

Don’t Waste Your Time

Proverbs 29:26 (KJV)

[26] Many seek the ruler's favour; but every man's judgment cometh from the LORD.

The Mad Rush To Tell Your Side First…

You May Feel It Advantages You and Endears You To Those In Charge-

But Never Forget, Final Judgment Comes From God!

The First End Up Last

And The Last Ends Up First!
