We have nothing in ourselves, but possess all things in Christ!

The moment you decide to completely surrender to the grace and mercy of Christ, a peace that bypasses all understanding consumes and fills you, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ, and it never leaves you!! The empty void in your heart is finally filled! There is nothing better than this gift of salvation! It will cost us everything, but considering Jesus Christ is our greatest treasure, there is no loss! The world won't understand, because the natural person does not accept the things of the Spirit of God, for they are folly to him, and he is not able to understand them because they are spiritually discerned (1 Corinth 2:14). 

The LORD calls His people unto repentance and turn from the wicked ways of this world. He says, "And I will give you a new heart, and a new spirit I will put within you. And I will remove the heart of stone from your flesh and give you a heart of flesh" (Ezekiel 36:26). He can wipe our slates clean, and make us brand new! Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation. The old has passed away; behold, the new has come! He says, "Come to me, all who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest" (Matt 11:28). For GOD says, "At just the right time, I heard you. On the day of salvation, I helped you." Indeed the "right time" is now. Today is the day of salvation!

Oh, that you would choose life!

Our life is fleetingly short. Most of us would rather choose to passionately build our life around our own dreams that lasts temporarily, rather than abiding in the perfect will of our MIGHTY GOD. But He answered and said, "It is written: 'Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceeds out of the mouth of God" (Matt 4:4). As I walked into a local city cemetery this afternoon, I wondered how many souls of the deceased are in glorious eternity spent at the feet of the LORD JESUS CHRIST, and I wondered who is currently in torment from rejecting Him? 

Enter ye in at the strait gate: for wide is the gate, and broad is the way, that leadeth to destruction, and many there be which go in thereat: Because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it (Matt 7:13-14).
Man is like to vanity: his days are as a shadow that passeth away (Ps 144:4).

And the times of this ignorance God winked at; but now commandeth all men every where to repent (Acts 17:30).

He that believeth on me, as the scripture hath said, out of his belly shall flow rivers of living water (John 7:38).

Don't start rationalizing, overthinking it; instead, focus on Jesus!

Have you recently experienced a day, a week, or even a month that seemed like something extremely inconvenient was always happening? "Why is this happening to me," or you would probably ask yourself, "What have I done wrong?" 

The hardest part about going through a season of trials, and tests is remaining "calm" despite of adversity, especially when you're in the presence of family members, coworkers and acquaintances who don't know who Jesus Christ is. Aren't we supposed to be the great and godly examples of how a Christian lives, no matter what we face on a daily basis? How on earth are we able to remain composed, and plaster on the "I'm always at peace" pokerface expression, when we feel like we are emotionally sinking and drowning inwardly? Wouldn't that be considered to be fake in who we are, and what we say we believe in? The problem is not our reactions to life's challenges, but rather not fully surrendering to our MIGHTY GOD, and the Author and Perfecter of our faith. 

He commands us to trust in the LORD with all our heart, and lean not unto our own understanding. In all our ways, acknowledge Him, and He shall direct our paths (Proverbs 3:5-6). In other words, "don't stress, don't panic, He is still in control, and He knew this was going to happen! Don't start rationalizing, overthinking it; instead, completely focus on Jesus. He will give you further instructions, wait on Him!" 

We will always need more intimacy with GOD Himself, we will always need to study and read His Word, we will always need to pray without ceasing, and we will always need to fully surrender to His perfect will; no matter how many years we've been truly saved, or no matter how many times we've read the Bible!  

We are to (daily) present our bodies as a living sacrifice, holy, and acceptable to GOD, which is our reasonable service and be not conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewal of our minds, that by testing we may discern what is the will of God, what is good and acceptable and perfect (Romans 12:1-2). By surrendering and trusting in the LORD with all of our heart, we are pleasing our Master, our Creator, our Shepherd, which is what we truly desire to do. :) 

When something totally unexpected happens, let's continue to praise our MIGHTY GOD! We will worship Him in Spirit, and in truth. We worship Him for who He is, and the amazing fact that He will always reign! "I am the Alpha and the Omega," says the LORD GOD, "who is and who was and who is to come, the Almighty" (Revelation 1:8).

We are no longer slaves to sin!

According to the free dictionary, the definition of carnality is the practice of finding satisfaction in activities related to fleshly desires and appetites, especially the sexual. The definition of carnal is worldly or earthly; temporal. BECAUSE OF WHAT CHRIST HAS DONE FOR US, WE CAN SURRENDER TO HIS PERFECT WILL! THEREFORE IF ANY MAN BE IN CHRIST, HE IS A NEW CREATURE! We are no longer slaves to sin! Know ye not, that to whom ye yield yourselves servants to obey, his servants ye are to whom ye obey; whether of sin unto death, or of obedience unto righteousness (Rom 6:16)? And he said to them all, If any man will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross daily, and follow me. For whosoever will save his life shall lose it: but whosoever will lose his life for my sake, the same shall save it (Luke 9:23-24).

This I say then, Walk in the Spirit, and ye shall not fulfil the lust of the flesh. For the flesh lusteth against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh: and these are contrary the one to the other: so that ye cannot do the things that ye would. But if ye be led of the Spirit, ye are not under the law. Now the works of the flesh are manifest, which are these; Adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lasciviousness, Idolatry, witchcraft, hatred, variance, emulations, wrath, strife, seditions, heresies, Envyings, murders, drunkenness, revellings, and such like: of the which I tell you before, as I have also told you in time past, that they which do such things shall not inherit the kingdom of God (Galatians 5:16-25). 

See then that ye walk circumspectly, not as fools, but as wise, redeeming the time, because the days are evil (Eph 5:15-16).

Thou shalt love thy neighbour

I live with three other roommates in a house. Like all other room mates, we split the cost of rent, utilities, and etc. We also buy our own groceries, and we all happen to really like Keurig coffee, which isn't friendly with our wallets.

I used my room mate's coffee cream ONCE because one morning, I ran out. She decided to write "Don't Use." At first, I was annoyed, and I took MY coffee K-cups that "I purchased by my own hard-working money" to my bedroom, but ABBA Father is in the process of breaking me, and He told me, "Do not repay evil for evil or reviling for reviling, but on the contrary, bless, for to this you were called, that you may obtain a blessing" (1 Pet 3:9). SO, He instructed me to take it back downstairs, and instead write, "Feel free to use! " It may sound childish but from an early age, we are taught to work hard so that we may enjoy the fruits of our labor, but it was never taught to us to give freely as the Word of God commands us to. I only BOAST in the Lord and what He is doing!!!

Matthew 5:43-48
Ye have heard that it hath been said, Thou shalt love thy neighbour, and hate thine enemy. But I say unto you, Love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you, and pray for them which despitefully use you, and persecute you; That ye may be the children of your Father which is in heaven: for he maketh his sun to rise on the evil and on the good, and sendeth rain on the just and on the unjust. For if ye love them which love you, what reward have ye? do not even the publicans the same? And if ye salute your brethren only, what do ye more than others? do not even the publicans so? Be ye therefore perfect, even as your Father which is in heaven is perfect.

Are we giving the honor and praises to WHO it really belongs to?

The world gives many praises to the veterans of the U.S. Armed forces but when it comes to in remembrance of what Jesus Christ did on the cross, there is the reactions of indifference, disdain and anger. I am not bashing the veterans, and I am very much grateful for what they have done, and are presently doing!! But do we think about how much blood He has shed for us? Do we show our gratitude by how we LIVE our life??

I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that ye present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, which is your reasonable service (Rom 12:1). It is time we repent of idolatry! It is time that we repent of our sinful lifestyles and surrender to His perfect will!! Your cross hanging on the front of your windshield doesn't mean anything if you are not repenting, and disobeying the Lord of lords! If ye love me, keep my commandments (John 14:15).

And he said to them all, If any man will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross daily, and follow me. For whosoever will save his life shall lose it: but whosoever will lose his life for my sake, the same shall save it (Luke 9:23-24).

Choose to be set-apart! The phrase "walked with God" is only used when referencing two men: Enoch and Noah. Walk is a biblical figure for fellowship and obedience that results in divine blessing. It describes the closest communion with the MIGHTY GOD - as if walking by His side. Keep your eyes on JESUS! Obedience is the fruit of righteousness. The world has nothing better to offer! 

Pray without Ceasing

The enemy is responsible for the temptations he puts in front of us, but we're responsible for whether or not we act on them. Walk in the Spirit, and you will not gratify the desires of the flesh (Gal 5:16). Our Lord told His disciples, "pray that ye enter not into temptation," while they were at the Mount of Olives right before He was crucified and resurrected. Our daily prayers must echo His prayer, "Father if thou be willing, remove this cup from me: nevertheless not my will, but thine, be done" (Luke 22:42)!! Jesus sweat as it were great drops of blood while He prayed fervently for the will of His Father to come to pass regardless of how He felt! Then He rose from prayer, and found His disciples sleeping and said to them, "Why sleep ye? Rise and pray, lest ye enter into temptation" (Luke 22:46). PRAY WITHOUT CEASING (1 Thess 5:17). 

We must continue to make our relationship with Him our only priority, we must meditate on His Word day and night, and we must not fellowship, or in other words HANG OUT with the wicked! Here's the proof ---> I have not sat with vain persons, neither will I go in with dissemblers. I have hated the congregation of evil doers; and will not sit with the wicked (Ps 26:4-5). Because bad company ruins good morals (1 Corinth 15:33). Do not be unequally yoked with unbelievers. For what partnership has righteousness with lawlessness? Or what fellowship has light with darkness?

When we are around unsaved loved ones, acquaintances, and coworkers, we only have ONE mission. Are you influencing others with the light of Christ, or are YOU being influenced by them? They will either accept Christ, or reject Him and avoid you altogether! If you are a real friend, you will tell them about the saving grace of Jesus Christ! Love not the world, neither the things that are in the world. If any man love the world, the love of the Father is not in him. For all that is in the world, the lust of the flesh, and the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life, is not of the Father, but is of the world. And the world passeth away, and the lust thereof: but he that doeth the will of God abideth for ever (1 John 2:15-17).

Apart from Jesus Christ, we are absolutely nothing.

Repent, and surrender to Jesus!

You continue to deliberately ignore God's warnings, and recklessly live your life without fear of Him, and when His people speak of His salvation, wrath and mercy, you turn the deaf ear, and push those words out of your head and memory; because you would rather rely and trust in your own understanding. There will come a day when you will face the Most Holy God of Israel on judgement day, and you will painfully regret this decision. Draw nigh to God, and he will draw nigh to you. Cleanse your hands, ye sinners; and purify your hearts, ye double minded. Be afflicted, and mourn, and weep: let your laughter be turned to mourning, and your joy to heaviness. Humble yourselves in the sight of the Lord, and he shall lift you up (Js 4:8-10). 

The more we surrender to God's perfect will, the more we are transformed into His image (2 Corinth 3:18). There is nothing worth pursuing outside of Christ! And ye are complete in him, which is the head of all principality and power: In whom also ye are circumcised with the circumcision made without hands, in putting off the body of the sins of the flesh by the circumcision of Christ: Buried with him in baptism, wherein also ye are risen with him through the faith of the operation of God, who hath raised him from the dead (Col 2:10-12).

As a new creation in Christ, your formal lifestyle, former friends, and former habits no longer consume you! It no longer gives you the desire to partake in your former activities because you are no longer the same person! And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God (Rom 12:2). Because it is written, Be ye holy; for I am holy (1 Pet 1:16).

I tell you this because I love you in Christ, and I will not flatter anyone to hell, but I will speak of the truth of the Gospel of Jesus Christ, and ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free (John 8:32). Please repent, and surrender to His perfect will! He is the ONLY ONE who can and will set you free, love and protect you! There is nothing outside of Christ worth pursuing!!

Repent for Righteousness

I'll never understand a man who calls himself a pastor to allow his preteen daughter listen to worldly music like Nicki Minaj. Doesn't he know that we are in a spiritual battle? Doesn't he know that the enemy especially targets children from a young age into the world? Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour (1 Peter 5:8). Aren't parents supposed to lead their children into salvation? For if a man know not how to rule his own house, how shall he take care of the church of God (1 Tim 3:5)???

You call me a legalist, because my words are convicting. Isn't that what the Holy Spirit does? He reproves the world of sin, and of righteousness, and of the judgement (John 16:8). Ye adulterers and adulteresses, know ye not that the friendship of the world is enmity with God? Whosoever therefore will be a friend of the world is the enemy of God (Js 4:4). I know thy works, that thou art neither cold nor hot: I would thou wert cold or hot. So then because thou art lukewarm, and neither cold nor hot, I will spue thee out of my mouth (Rev 3:15-16). I tell you, Nay: but, except ye repent, ye shall all likewise perish (Luke 13:5). Repent, for the Kingdom of God draws near!

"Itchy ears, itchy ears, tickle my ears!"

"Itchy ears, itchy ears, tickle my ears. Tell me what I want to hear!" Many of us love to go to church on Sundays to hear "feel-good" messages, because we are told "God is not mad at you," by double minded pastors, even though we are continually living in sin and disobeying THE FATHER! What exactly pleases the Most Holy God? Repentance (a complete turn away from sin), and living a life that pleases Him, because if we love Him, we will OBEY Him (John 14:15)! If we keep looking back at sin and our old lifestyle like Lot's wife, we will likewise perish!

But there were false prophets also among the people, even as there shall be false teachers among you, who privily shall bring in damnable heresies, even denying the Lord that bought them, and bring upon themselves swift destruction. And many shall follow their pernicious ways; by reason of whom the way of truth shall be evil spoken of. And through covetousness shall they with feigned words make merchandise of you: whose judgment now of a long time lingereth not, and their damnation slumbereth not (2 Peter 2:1-3). No, I am not judging wrongly, I am judging righteously as I am commanded to (John 7:24). If I was doing the same exact thing, I would be wrong for that would make me a hypocrite (Matt 7:5).

For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine; but after their own lusts shall they heap to themselves teachers, having itching ears; And they shall turn away their ears from the truth, and shall be turned unto fables. But watch thou in all things, endure afflictions, do the work of an evangelist, make full proof of thy ministry (2 Tim 4:3-5). Beware lest any man spoil you through philosophy and vain deceit, after the tradition of men, after the rudiments of the world, and not after Christ (Col 2:8). WE MUST CONSISTENTLY EXAMINE OURSELVES WITH THE SHARP SWORD OF GOD'S WORD.

Parable of the Sower

Behold, a sower went forth to sow; And when he sowed, some seeds fell by the way side, and the fowls came and devoured them up (Matt 13:3): this is when one hears the word of God and doesn't understand, and the wicked one comes and snatches what was sown in their heart (Matt 13:19). 

Some fell upon stony places, where they had not much earth: and forthwith they sprung up, because they had no deepness of earth: And when the sun was up, they were scorched; and because they had no root, they withered away (Matt 13:5-6). This happens when one hears the word and receives it with joy but has no root in himself and endures for awhile until tribulation or persecution rises because of the word, and they become offended by it, and turn away (Matt 13:20-21).

And some fell among thorns; and the thorns sprung up, and choked them (Matt 13:7): this is someone who hears the word, and the cares of this world and money being the root of all evil choke the word and he becomes unfruitful (Matt 13:22).

But other fell into good ground, and brought forth fruit, some an hundredfold, some sixtyfold, some thirtyfold (Matt 13:8). Someone who has receive seed into good ground is he that hears the word, and understands it, and bears fruit (Matt 13:23). 

In order for the word to flourish, the mind has to be prepared for hearing and understanding the word of God. A stubborn and rebellious heart CANNOT receive the Word! And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God (Rom 12:2).

Good Fruits

There is nothing outside of Christ worth pursuing. The secret of the LORD is with them that fear him; and he will shew them his covenant (Ps 25:14). Our only purpose is to glorify our GOD in ALL that we say and do with the good fruits that we bear! If anyone is truly in Christ, a part of the true vine; they will bear good fruit because they really are a part of Him (John 15:1). Jesus said unto him, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind (Matt 22:37). How do we bear good fruit? By living and meditating on the word of God day and night (Joshua 1:8). But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, Meekness, temperance: against such there is no law (Gal 22:23). We must consistently examine ourselves, and our motives. Are we giving ourselves the "Christian" title without actually living out our name?? We are representations of Christ, and no matter where we are, or who we are around; we will always be Christlike and we will always bear good fruit because we truly belong to Christ.

Be the Light

We must be careful in how we interact with unsaved loved ones, coworkers, and acquaintances, because we are the light and the salt of the world! We are to preach against sin in love, we love them, and our goal is to ultimately minister the Gospel to them. Eventually, they will turn toward the Gospel, or your lifestyle will bother them in such a way, that they won't have anything to do with you anymore because that's how Jesus lived!

Live in such a way that they know you're not going to participate in their sin, they know you're not going to go to certain places, they know you're not going to talk a certain way; you're going to talk about Jesus. And, if they get tired of you, they rejected the Lord. Live in such a way that you present Jesus to them. They can either accept or reject Him, because if we are not presenting Jesus to them, they will never accept, or reject him, and your relationship will not have any effect! Be not deceived: evil communications corrupt good manners (1 Corinth 15:33). ARE WE INFLUENCING THEM, OR ARE THEY INFLUENCING YOU? Are you living in their atmosphere, or are they walking in yours?

With Pride, You Will Fall!

It's great to post and declare God's word, but we MUST watch out for the seed of PRIDE that could sprout and grow when we allow the affirmation of others to get to our heads!! "Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools, And changed the glory of the uncorruptible God into an image made like to corruptible man, and to birds, and fourfooted beasts, and creeping things" (Rom 1:22-23). True children of God speak and act with humility! He hath shewed thee, O man, what is good; and what doth the LORD require of thee, but to do justly, and to love mercy, and to walk humbly with thy God (Micah 6:8)?

We are to always be OPEN to receiving correction as long as it does not contradict God's word!! Are we consistently examining ourselves, and our motives?

All, or Nothing

You can post and "like" all the Scripture statuses and photos you like, you can wear all the Christian jewelry and clothing you want, you can faithfully attend all the church services and participate in the choir and sing, "Lord, Lord," but if you are NOT right with the LORD, God Almighty; your prayers and VAIN public display are not heard, nor seen by THE FATHER!

How can we be right with God? By wholeheartedly repenting of all our sins (no, your repentance prayer that you recited when you were five doesn't count!), surrendering and submitting to His perfect will by denying ourselves, taking up our cross DAILY, and following Christ by OBEYING Him. If ye love me, keep my commandments (John 14:15). As new creations in Christ, our only desire is to please our Master. But be ye doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving your own selves (James 1:22). Christ wants everything, or nothing.

Subtle Witchcraft

Have you ever shared something on social media, because the photo stated that if you love God, something AMAZING was going to happen if you shared it? And, after you shared it, you realized nothing actually happened? Brothers and sisters in Christ, I know you have good intentions, but that's nothing short of WITCHCRAFT! How does this make the LORD, our God react? "And he made his son pass through the fire, and observed times, and used enchantments, and dealt with familiar spirits and wizards: he wrought much wickedness in the sight of the Lord, to provoke him to anger" (2 Kings 21:6). Regard not them that have familiar spirits, neither seek after wizards, to be defiled by them: I am the Lord your God (Leviticus 19:31). Why would sharing something, because we are told something amazing will happen if we do, MAKE THE FATHER DO SOMETHING?! Let's repent and completely surrender to His perfect will, and ONLY receive His Spirit within us.

Now the works of the flesh are manifest, which are these; Adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lasciviousness, Idolatry, witchcraft, hatred, variance, emulations, wrath, strife, seditions, heresies, Envyings, murders, drunkenness, revellings, and such like: of the which I tell you before, as I have also told you in time past, that they which do such things shall not inherit the kingdom of God (Gal 5:19-21).

Whose Approval Are You Seeking?

What matters the most is YOUR OBEDIENCE and SUBMISSION to the Lord's perfect will! Your message of rebuke will not always be well received, or loved by many but the Pharisees were just as anxious to kill JESUS whenever He spoke!! Who do you live to please? The God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, or the approval of man (Pharisees)? 

Your LUKE-WARM messages are not only loved by many people, but by the demons who think they're hilarious!

I am His

I must depend on Christ with every single second, minute, hour and day that passes. I must rely on my Master with every single moment that passes because I am absolutely nothing without His Spirit inside of me, I am absolutely nothing without my King of kings as I completely belong to Him alone.

I was purchased by His blood, I was resurrected as a new creation in Him as I repented of all my sins and completely surrendered to His perfect will, and pure holiness. That night, He drew me to Himself, I was filled and surrounded by His love, tears of joy and gratitude would not stop pouring down as I cried out to the Most Holy God in broken repentance and complete submission.

Who am I that He would die for me? Who am I that He would forgive me, and cleanse me of all unrighteousness? Who am I that He would never leave me, or forsake me? Who am I that He would CARE for a wretched sinner like me?

I will live to glorify His name alone. I will live to please and obey Him. I will live to worship Him in Spirit, and in truth. I am His, and He is mine. I am His servant, I am His alone. 

Narrow Path of Righteousness

We don't earn our salvation, but because we are new creations in Christ, we are no longer slaves to sin but obedience unto righteousness. Creation is the act of creating or engendering; the fact of being created; something that is created. He says if we love Him, we will obey His commandments. We love to worship our Lord, and in all that we do, we do it to give Him glory! He says, we are to become holy as He is holy. We are the light and salt of the world so we automatically stand out with our faith and obedience to His holy word! 

Surrendering and submitting to His perfect will requires DENYING SELF. We are to pick up our cross, and follow Christ on the narrow path of obedience unto righteousness. As new creations in Christ, we no longer desire sin, because He is our First Love, we walk in the Spirit at all times! "What shall we say then? Shall we continue in sin, that grace may abound? God forbid. How shall we, that are dead to sin, live any longer therein" (Rom 6:1-2).

Definition of luke-warm: Mildly warm; tepid. Lacking conviction or enthusiasm; indifferent. What does THE FATHER say about lukewarm Christians? 

I know thy works, that thou art neither cold nor hot: I would thou wert cold or hot. So then because thou art lukewarm, and neither cold nor hot, I will spue thee out of my mouth (Revelation 3:15-16). Ye are the salt of the earth: but if the salt have lost his savour, wherewith shall it be salted? it is thenceforth good for nothing, but to be cast out, and to be trodden under foot of men (Matt 5:13). 

ARE WE ON FIRE FOR GOD? OR, ARE WE INDIFFERENT TO HIS SPIRIT?

Eternity is Forever

Is a life that lasts a maximum of 70-95 years of living your own dreams, and living out your OWN WILL worth an eternity of separation and wrath of The Most Holy God spent in the lake of fire and sulfur? Eternity is never ending, and infinite. 

Enter ye in at the strait gate: for wide is the gate, and broad is the way, that leadeth to destruction, and many there be which go in thereat: Because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it (Matt 7:13-14).

Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven. Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works? And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity (Matt 7:21-23).

Please repent (turn away from all sin), surrender and submit to His perfect will. This life is but a vapor compared to the eternity we will pass into after our last breath.

Yield & Surrender

SIN is mentioned 448 times in a KJV Bible, because IT'S A BIG DEAL. I tell you, Nay: but, except ye repent, ye shall all likewise perish (Luke 13:3). THE FATHER did not send HIS son to die on the cross so that we may be lukewarm in our walk, serving HIM, and walking side by side with the WORLD! HE did not send HIS Only Son to die as an atonement of our sins, so that we can only approach others and preach about GRACE and to recite a one time prayer for "eternity insurance!"

The goodness of the Lord is everything that consist of Him, His wrath and hatred for sin, and His love for obedience and wholehearted worship. The commandment of denying ourselves and picking up our crosses include complete obedience to His word, and complete submission to His divine will! Know ye not, that to whom ye yield yourselves servants to obey, his servants ye are to whom ye obey; whether of sin unto death, or of obedience unto righteousness (Rom 6:16). Are you slaves of a "FEEL GOOD" message, or of obedience unto righteousness? 

Preaching the Gospel of CHRIST happens everywhere, on social media and in REAL LIFE.

New Master

CHRIST is ALL we have, need and want. We literally seek and depend on Him for everything! We NO LONGER find fulfillment in things, rely in our understanding or seek the approval of man. After we have repented (turn away from all sin), and completely surrendered to His perfect will; and becoming NEW CREATIONS in CHRIST, we no longer live for ourselves. He that findeth his life shall lose it: and he that loseth his life for my sake shall find it (Matt 10:39). It's a DAILY activity of denying self, and surrendering to our new Master. 

Nothing in this temporary life matters but loving THE FATHER with ALL of our heart, soul, strength, and mind, and being centered in His perfect will. How can we start? By studying and obeying the Word of God. For the word of God is quick, and powerful, and sharper than any twoedged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit, and of the joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart (Hebrews 4:12).
