My Challenge to You

There are questions I have been pondering if you know the answer to. And I just have to ask:


- Do you know what sin is? Do you have a good understanding of the things that God calls sin in His Word? If I said, name 10-15 sins that God mentions in the Bible, could you?

- Do you know what repentance is? Do you understand what it means to turn from sin and not go back? Do you understand that sin without repentance brings judgment? Could you explain this to me?

- Do you know what it means to live holy? Do you know what consecration and holiness is? Do you know what it means to purpose in your heart not to defile yourself?


If you cannot answer these questions, I challenge you to search out the Word of God. If you can’t find the answers on your own, ask a leader or someone you trust that would know these answers. SEARCH IT OUT. DO YOU KNOW HIS WORD?

If you can answer these questions, this is my challenge to you. DO YOU LIVE IT? It means nothing if you do not act on it in obedience.

The only one responsible for your relationship with God is YOU. Your youth pastor isn’t responsible for your relationship with God. Your discipleship leader isn’t responsible. Your parents aren’t responsible. Your friends aren’t responsible. They will be held accountable, but when it comes down to it… It is YOUR responsibility.


Search it out. Live it.

What if Jesus meant what He said? - "If you love me..."

The thought occurred to me today.   What if Jesus meant what He said? He said a lot.   A whole lot. And if He is God, then we should listen to what He said. If He is our Lord, then we should listen to what He said. I want to go on a journey of exploring what He said.   He is the Word and He is God.   I think what He said is worth exploring and worth living by.   The first thing I want to look at is in John 14.   This will give the premise for the entire journey of seeking out what Jesus said.   Because if Jesus meant this… then the rest of what He said is VERY important. Jhn 14:15 "If you love Me, keep My commandments.” Jhn 14:21 "He who has My commandments and keeps them, it is he who loves Me. And he who loves Me will be loved by My Father, and I will love him and manifest Myself to him." Jhn 14:23 Jesus answered and said to him, "If anyone loves Me, he will keep My word; and My Father will love him, and We will come ...

A thought

There are easy days. And then there are difficult days. This is my reassurance: God is constant and He is always faithful. “If we are faithless, He remains faithful; He cannot deny Himself.” – 2 Timothy 2:13

Ezekiel 14:12-23

I read this passage last night. I have seen a verse or two about it... but the entirety of it gripped me when I read it. I had never thought about it as a principle. "When a land sins against Me by persistent unfaithfulness..." Then I was blown away by the men God used as examples. Noah, Daniel, Job. Men whose lives have a tremendous impact on the end-time saints. To be the only ones delivered in your righteousness. What was it like to watch an entire culture that God was not pleased with and see his judgment poured out accordingly. Righteous men - Noah, Daniel, Job - who stood, even when they stood alone. And yes, all three of those men, stood in their righteousness alone. They all faced scoffing and hatred of them. There are lessons in all of these men's lives. God judges nations. He judges lands that sin against the Lord in persistent unfaithfulness. But there are righteous ones in the midst of judgment. Eze 14:12-23 The word of the LORD came again to me...
