Cause and Effect

1 Corinthians 11:27 (KJV)

Wherefore whosoever shall eat this bread, and drink this cup of the Lord, unworthily, shall be guilty of the body and blood of the Lord.

The Negative-

Cause and Effect to Communion-

Eat this bread and Drink this Cup “Unworthily”

Meaning: to do so in spite of The Lord’s Significance in Preparation and Qualification!

Your Definitions Do Not Count-

Only God’s…

How You (Feel) Has No Significance…

Cain was the first offender of all time- He brought what he felt was good-

Not what God Desired…

And the results of

*Cause and Effect were Cataclysmic!

In Communion it’s about our accommodating Him!

Not visa versa-

Remembering His Death and His Return-

This Is Paramount!

Unworthily: just means that you qualify by your judgment not God’s!

Feeling Doesn’t Really Count, But Being Obedient to God’s Plan Does Count-

Nobody Ever Really “Feels” Worthy…

On Judgement Day

You May Not Feel Worthy!

But If Your Life Passes the Bible Test, You Will Be Allowed Entrance to Eternal Life!

Taking Communion is Much the Same!

If You Don’t Take It You Disrespect His Most Sacred Invitation-

If You Do Take It You Must Qualify…

Understanding and Knowledge are by “Reservation Only”

Hosea 14:9 (KJV)

Who is wise, and he shall *(understand) these things? prudent, and he shall *(know) them? for the ways of the LORD are right, and the just shall walk in them: but the transgressors shall fall therein.

Reservations Can Be Made by-

Walking in the Ways of the Lord…

The (Just) Walk in the Ways of the Lord,

And Are Rewarded With

Understanding and

Knowledge!

The Antithesis or Opposite

Are the (Transgressor)

TRANSGRESSOR:

Someone who violates a law or command…

Dictionary-

• offender

• wrongdoer

• breaker

• trespasser

• violator

• lawbreaker

They Will Fall…

The Ways of The Lord Are Right!

And the JUST Shall Walk

In Them…

“Reservations Only”

Understanding and

Knowledge

*I am not more Intelligent

I just know where to walk!

Investment Strategy 101

Psalms 146:3 (KJV)

Put not your trust in princes, nor in the son of man, in whom there is no help.

Putting Your Trust in (Princes) Royalty or Leaders among the people

Or in any Son of Adam(man)… you will find yourself without Help!

Invest your Trust where it will be safe-

Who then do we put Trust in?

“God”

-His Under-Shepherd

-His Word

Men and Those Esteemed Successful Will Never be an Adequate Substitute-

A sign I once saw-

“Invest in What Appreciates-

Lease What Depreciates”

Buy the Truth and

Borrow from the Egyptians

(that’s what Israel did when leaving Egypt)

Immodest vs. Abomination

Deuteronomy 22:5 (KJV)

The woman shall not wear that which pertaineth unto a man, neither shall a man put on a woman's garment: for all that do so are abomination unto the LORD thy God.

Immodest denotes-(not fully covered) or Revealing…

An (ABOMINATION)

Means it is Detestable and  a Stink Unto God…

While One is Lewd the Other is an Affront Against God-

Lack of Clothing is only Sinful in Public Not When In Private…

But-

*An Abomination to God is Wrong Whether in-

Private or Public!

Take Care What You Put On to Wear-ANYWHERE

Being an Abomination in the Sight of God is not Advisable…

Discretion

Proverbs 29:12 (KJV)

If a ruler hearken to lies, all his servants are wicked.

Discretion:

The ability to show self control, discerning a situation…

A Ruler, Leader or Head of Household-

Will Be Affected by Those You Are listening To…

Contrary to Accepted Belief- Balance is Not Hearing Both Sides!!!

I don’t need to read the Quran to understand the Bible!

I don’t need to hear evil to understand God’s goodness!!!

As a leader, you will affect everybody downwards by who you’re listening to!

Wise Leader surrounds himself with Truth!

Because everybody that listens to me is dependent that I don’t mess up…
