The Downfall


Remember that if there's only one truth then all other truths must be false. Sometimes we mix our personal beliefs with God's word in order to justify what we believe. But if God's word is absolute, only one thing can remain and that is the truth of the Word of God. All isms, ideologies and personal beliefs come second to that. This is detrimental to the state of the believer. There are moments where we want to administer the gospel to people but due to the fact that we are wrapped up in our own beliefs, we do the Word of God a disservice. We deliver it from a place of insecurity. I'm talking about the "this is how I feel" kind of gospel. The kind of gospel that only talks about the blessings of God but never challenges the heart of the man or woman. The kind of gospel that talks about what we can get out of God bt never about what God free;y gives us. Salvation through Jesus Christ. 

I believe that hen we take personal beliefs and isms and mix them with the gospel of Jesus Christ, we're making a huge mistake. Whether these beliefs are cultural or passed down to us by our ancestors, we should e careful not to allow those things to get in between the gospel and the people who need to hear it. 

If Jesus came to earth to present a feel-good gospel, no one would make it to heaven. If Jesus came to earth to share how He personally felt, no one would see the light. Instead, He prayed that God's Kingdom would come and that God's will would be done. Keeping this in mind. it allowed Him to be able to live a sinless life. For the joy set before Him, he knew that personal feelings couldn't get in the way of our salvation. He cared about the souls of the people He would redeem. He cared enough about the souls He would reconcile back to the Father. 

He tells us to repent and be baptized because the Kingdom of God is at hand. He tells us to turn away from our wicked ways and believe. It's not the feel-good kind of gospel that we're so often used to hearing, but it's the true gospel that will save many souls. so I challenge you today, as a representative of Jesus to share the true gospel of Jesus Christ. Not the version that's based on your feelings. But the version that wins lost souls.


Jesus is God

Gifted

You were gifted with a gift.  You were created with a passion Designed for a purpose, not for form or fashion. You were gifted with a gift Bigger than your mistakes It waits in eager anticipation Your purpose never waits. You were gifted with a gift The time is now The world needs your story But the question is how? You were gifted with a gift Yet the gift may be hidden It seems nonexistent  Almost bed ridden. You were gifted with a gift It's time to bring it to life It may seem irrelevant But someone needs your light. You were gifted with a gift Your life He did save Your sins washed away Your purpose doth made. I know you've been slept on It was all for a reason But hear me when I say Tomorrow is your season. So for today fear not For growth takes time For now, use what you got In His Will, you'll be just fine.

Cycles

You've heard it said that when you make a mistake or bad decision, you should've learned a lesson afterwards. Yet there is a question that needs to be asked in relevance to the situation. How will the lesson learned be practically applied? There is a difference between a lesson learned and a lesson applied. Often times we continue to make the same mistakes in life because we choose not to apply what we've learned.  Take a math lesson for example. You go to the class, listen to the professor, and learn all of the formulas. Math is full of formulas that if executed correctly, present the same answer. Then the test comes, and you have to apply the formula you've learned the day before. The only problem is that you have forgotten the formula. Or let's just say you remember the formula, but when the math problem presented itself, you did not feel like applying it. You ultimately fail the test by a few points. Had you'd applied the formula when the problem prese...
