Are you “an abandoned construction site… piles of stuff, bits and pieces strewn around, ugly windows gaping holes….” Thinking with the thousands around you, with their traditions deep in media, popular, sung and preached? Better is thinking with God’s Word.
Get on God’s side – and be in the truth
We know “God’s side” by what He communicated to us in the Bible. We get on God’s side by following the Jesus of the Bible. Don’t be deceived away from the Truth, away from salvation in Jesus.
The Moment of IF
The Apostle Paul takes us back to the question of questions for all of us about our salvation: The moment of “IF”. Is there any “if” to your salvation story? Could you perhaps have a Cracked Heart?
Words of Mere Men Are Not God’s Words
Mark 7:7 tells us: “They worship Me in vain [their worship is meaningless and worthless, a pretense], Teaching the precepts of men as doctrines [giving their traditions equal weight with the Scriptures].” You’d think it would be quite obvious, you think? When church leaders announce that they speak directly from God, they instantly become a bonafide false prophet if their words are later shown to be wrong. False prediction = False Prophet. Easy.
Making God Speak
It is not of God to say “this is a word from the Lord” when what you say are merely your own words. “God is against you” if you practice that.
