How many believers in Christ today are content with simply being in Christ, and just as content with their present beliefs and religious practices, and esteem them to be more precious than gaining Christ? How many of us who are in Christ are content with our own righteousness which is of our denominational form of the “Christian Religion” and are not interested in having that righteousness, which is through the faith of Christ, that righteousness which is of God?

Why is it easy?
Why is it difficult?
““Enter through the narrow gate. For wide is the gate and broad and easy to travel is the path that leads the way to destruction and eternal loss, and there are many who enter through it. But small is the gate and narrow and difficult to travel is the path that leads the way to [everlasting] life, and there are few who find it.”
‭‭MATTHEW‬ ‭7:13-14‬ ‭AMP‬‬

1
My hope is built on nothing less
Than Jesus Christ, my righteousness;
I dare not trust the sweetest frame,
But wholly lean on Jesus’ name.
On Christ, the solid Rock, I stand;
All other ground is sinking sand,
All other ground is sinking sand.
2
When darkness veils His lovely face,
I rest on His unchanging grace;
In every high and stormy gale,
My anchor holds within the veil.
3
His oath, His covenant, His blood,
Support me in the whelming flood;
When all around my soul gives way,
He then is all my hope and stay.
4
When He shall come with trumpet sound,
Oh, may I then in Him be found;
In Him, my righteousness, alone,
Faultless to stand before the throne.

Seek the Lord while He still may be found.

““Behold, the days are coming,” says the Lord GOD, “When I will send hunger over the land, Not hunger for bread or a thirst for water, But rather [a hunger] for hearing the words of the LORD. “People shall stagger from sea to sea [to the very ends of the earth] And from the north even to the east; They will roam here and there to seek the word of the LORD [longing for it as essential for life], But they will not find it. “In that day the beautiful virgins And [even the vigorous] young men shall faint from thirst.” AMOS‬ ‭8:11-13‬ ‭AMP‬‬

“I believe that there are too many accommodating preachers, and too many practitioners in the church who are not believer. Jesus Christ did not say, ‘Go into all the world and tell the world that it is quite right.’ The gospel is something completely different. In fact, it is directly opposed to the,world.” —C.S. Lewis

Spiritual Abortion...in the believer
As believers, we are carrying the Holy Spirit inside us, but when we reject Him, our focus immediately shifts to our own personal experience. Our ambition. Our dreams. The call to lay down our life for another, to make a great sacrifice, to change our priorities, to embrace a life of sacrifice and inconvenience for God and others all fall on deaf ears. After all, it’s my body and I can do what I want with it, right? EEF

Ignorance is not the same as innocence.

Something to think about:

If man says ignorance of the law is no excuse...

What about God and His WORD?
Destroyed from the lack of knowledge...
Study to show yourself approved...
Matt. 7:21-23

Truth About Murder (part 1)
by Dr. Wilma Wofford

You Shall Not Murder

Have you ever memorized the Ten Commandments? Can you recall them now? (Exodus 20:1-17 and Deuteronomy 5:4-21)

How are you doing on keeping these commandments? I understand we don’t focus on them very much! If we dig down just a little bit, every commandment is ENORMOUS and brings conviction to us. I know some of us are much better than others, but I suspect there might be some room for growth or change in at least one or two areas in each of us. Am I right?

For this teaching, I want to consider the 6th commandment that addresses murder. Have you ever physically murdered anyone? Most of us have not crossed that line. I think most of us also realize that there are steps that lead us to physical murder, and we stop ourselves long before we get there. Let’s think through those steps.

First, when we have unfulfilled expectations, it leads to hurt and it is easy to take offense at those people or circumstances that keep us from what we expect or “deserve”. Once we are offended, if we let that offense settle in, we easily move into anger at a person, at life, at God. If we accept anger, it will become a part of us. Anger stirs up and keeps reminding us how unfairly we have been treated. Anger robs us of peace and joy and can easily lead to hate. Hate is loathing or hostility toward something or someone. Hate causes us to store up anger and wrath. That gets us right at the door of murder.

“For this is the message which you [believers] have heard from the beginning [of your relationship with Christ], that we should [unselfishly] love and seek the best for one another; and not be like Cain, who was of the evil one and murdered his brother [Abel]. And why did he murder him? Because Cain’s deeds were evil, and his brother’s were righteous. Do not be surprised, believers, if the world hates you. We know that we have passed out of death into Life, because we love the brothers and sisters. He who does not love remains in [spiritual] death. Everyone who hates (works against) his brother [in Christ] is [at heart] a murderer [by God’s standards]; and you know that no murderer has eternal life abiding in him.” 1 JOHN‬ ‭3:11-15‬ ‭AMP‬‬

We have an anger problem today. We have a hatred problem. We have a murder problem. Jesus delivered a very important message, referred to as the Sermon on the Mount [Matthew 5, 6, 7], during another time when there was a tremendous rise of hatred and anger and murder. Let’s look at a few phrases from the first part of Jesus’ message in Matthew 5... You have heard it said that you shall not murder...but I tell you that whoever is angry with his brother and whoever insults his brother and whoever says to his brother, “you fool”, will be liable to the hell of fire... If your brother has something against you, go and be reconciled... You are the salt of the earth... You are the light of the world... Let your light shine before others that they may see your life and give glory to your Father who is in heaven... Love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you... Let your life be perfect as your Heavenly Father is perfect!

Jesus’ message to us is simple and goes like this... I am concerned about the world, but I am more concerned about what is going on with you. Let anger go, don’t take offense, don’t let hatred and contempt have any place in your mind and heart and spirit. Stop it! Forgive. Love. Rejoice. Lay down your life for those you care about and those you don’t even know and for those who do you harm.

The evidence of the fruit of the Spirit of God being in us is a life that is marked by love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control (Galatians 5:22-23). These gifts of the Holy Spirit do not leave room in our soul or spirit or heart for anger and hatred and contempt and wrath. Jesus is a man of peace. Let’s follow Him!

“Truth and trust go together. You should trust people who tell you the truth. You shouldn’t trust people who you know aren’t telling you the truth. If you don’t believe in absolute truth, then you can’t trust anyone to tell you the truth.

Our lack of trust causes us tremendous stress in life. We were born to trust. God wired us with the capacity and desire to trust in something greater than ourselves, because He wanted us to have a relationship with Him.

If you don’t trust God, you will create someone or something else to trust. It may be a diploma on the wall, money in the bank, your spouse, your career, or a pet. This desire to trust in something larger than ourselves is nothing new either. The biblical writers were intensely aware of it in their culture as well. The Bible says “Some trust in chariots and some in horses, but we will trust in the name of the LORD our God” Psalm 20:7

The Bible has a word for whatever we place our trust in rather than God. The Bible calls it an idol. God’s word says that, for our own good, we need to stay away from idols: “For your own good...do not sin by making for yourselves an idol in any form” Deuteronomy 4:15b-16a GNT” WJW
