Unspotted! 7/13/16
Ecclesiastes 8:11 (KJV)
11 Because sentence against an evil work is not executed speedily, therefore the heart of the sons of men is fully set in them to do evil.
Once AGAIN, the "news/lies" has gotten so horrible and negative, I try not to waste my evenings watching the various talking heads!!!
In desperation, I watch cooking shows and even the Olympics!!!
Whether any choose to ignore this simple Truth, but our Bible warned these days WOULD come:
2 Timothy 3:1-5 (KJV)
1 This know also, that in the last days perilous times shall come.
2 For men shall be lovers of their own selves, covetous, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy,
3 Without natural affection, trucebreakers, false accusers, incontinent, fierce, despisers of those that are good,
4 Traitors, heady, highminded, lovers of pleasures more than lovers of God;
5 Having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof: from such turn away.
Truly, these are the days Isaiah spoke of:
Isaiah 5:20 (KJV)
20 Woe unto them that call evil good, and good evil; that put darkness for light, and light for darkness; that put bitter for sweet, and sweet for bitter!
What are WE, what do WE, as followers and BELIEVERS in all that is good in Christ, to do in such tempestuous times??
First, WE must:
Colossians 3:1-2 (KJV)
1 If ye then be risen with Christ, seek those things which are above, where Christ sitteth on the right hand of God.
2 Set your affection on things above, not on things on the earth.
Hebrews 12:2 (KJV)
2 Looking unto Jesus the author and finisher of our faith; who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is set down at the right hand of the throne of God.
WE must realize and understand WHO is watching!!!
Understand what "they" done to our Savior!!
Matthew 10:25 (KJV)
25 It is enough for the disciple that he be as his master, and the servant as his lord. If they have called the master of the house Beelzebub, how much more shall they call them of his household?
WE must live each day performing for an "AUDIENCE OF ONE!"
WE must seek ways and live our lives, SELF-LESS, and not SELFISH!!
We took little Amanda to get a much needed manicure and pedicure today- girl's day out.
While there, my wife told me there was an extra charge for the nail polish used and asked me if I wanted to get her eye brows waxed-another expense added to the original cost.
Of course I agreed and when the Asian lady finished, promptly informed Wanda and I that her and another technician were footing the bill!!!
I WHOLE-HEARTILY AGREE with the late Rodney King!!!!!!!
"
WHY CAN'T WE ALL JUST GET ALONG!!??"
Did not our Lord Jesus Christ teach US????
Matthew 22:39 (KJV)
39 And the second is like unto it, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself.
Lastly, we MUST NOT allow this world to taint us!
James 1:27 (KJV)
27 Pure religion and undefiled before God and the Father is this, To visit the fatherless and widows in their affliction, and to keep himself unspotted from the world.
UNSPOTTED-from
<G1>
(a) (as a negative particle) and
<G4695>
(spiloo);
unblemished
(physical or moral) :- without spot, unspotted.
Strong's Talking Greek & Hebrew Dictionary.
Of course, it is nearly impossible to escape this world:
1 Corinthians 5:10 (KJV)
10 Yet not altogether with the fornicators of this world, or with the covetous, or extortioners, or with idolaters; for then must ye needs go out of the world.
Yet, the old adage is still true:
"It's not the water outside the ship that sinks it, it's the inside that sinks it" ~Lord Nelson
TODAY, claim this Verse for YOUR life and BELIEVE it:
Philippians 1:6 (KJV)
6 Being confident of this very thing, that he which hath begun a good work in you will perform it until the day of Jesus Christ:
AMEN AND AMEN!!
GOD BLESS YOU!
