GROW UP!


Ephesians 4:14

 
Then we will no longer be infants, tossed back and forth by the waves, and blown here and there by every wind of teaching and by the cunning and craftiness of people in their deceitful scheming.


There must come a time in every person’s life when our childhood and its nature must pass away. We must make it our goal to grow in Christ. We must learn the lessons that GOD presents to us via the events in our lives. I call upon every person to grow up in Christ. I call for everyone to study GOD’s Word, and stand firm in the truth that is revealed, live the message, and share the love within its pages.  Stand firm on its truth and listen to every preacher that preaches, teacher that teaches discerning their words against the truth in the word of GOD. Stop relying on your pastor to show you a revelation. It is not your pastor’s responsibility to ensure that you grow in Christ. He is there to serve his flock and to guide you in your walk with Christ. However it is your responsibility to choose that walk each day and make a commitment to grow in Christ. Your pastor will preach, teach, pray, serve, and minister to you, but you must apply that preaching, learn from that teaching, and follow the example of service presented by your pastor’s leadership.  You should be secure in your own walk with Christ to the point to recognize false teachers, and preachers trying to lead you into opposition with GOD’s word.

Question:

Would you know false teaching if you heard it?  

 
Just like Eve in the garden Satan whispers to us daily.  He wraps lies inside the word of GOD to lead us astray and cause confusion amongst the faithful of Christ. Believe me Satan has a lot more knowledge in GOD’s word than most of us. He has practiced twisting GOD’s words and intentions since the beginning.  He causes us to focus on the wrong things and wants us arguing over what ultimately stops us from living out the true meaning and nature of the Gospel.

 
Bottom line read the word of GOD for yourself. Do not become lazy in your walk with GOD.  That way when you are faced with those who oppose or teach false teachings of the faith, you can be prepared with an answer and defend the word of GOD. Do not let the ways of this world discourage you. Grow up in Christ and defend the faith.

 

I love you always and in all ways.

 

Rev. M. Harrison.

COVERED!

So when they continued asking him, he lifted up himself, and said unto them, He that is without sin among you, let him first cast a stone at her. John 8:7 Even though we know better, do we live parts of our lives in secret as if GOD is not watching. We need to ask God to shine a light on the areas we need to fix.   Yes we need fixing. Just as no man could throw the first stone at the woman caught in adultery, we cannot cast any judgment on to anyone but ourselves. We do not deserve  anything but death because of our sin. If we are dirty, and in no way worthy of GOD’s attention, then WHY!?!?!,.   .even though we deserve the stones to be thrown upon us does GOD cover for us.   In this scripture we are manifested in the face of the adulterous woman.   At one point in our lives we have chosen our way over GOD’s way. Realize that when we choose our way over GOD’s way that is sin.   Just as Satan sinned when pride entered his heart and he vowed to r...

LAW OF LOVE

Galatians 5:13-14   13  You, my brothers and sisters, were called to be free. But do not use your freedom to indulge the flesh; rather, serve one another humbly in love. 14  For the entire law is fulfilled in keeping this one command: “Love your neighbor as yourself.” _________________________________________________________________   Today I want each of you to look at your life!   Let your life answer the following question:   Do I serve myself, or God?   Remember GOD is love and by serving him fully you fulfill the law of love as expressed by Christ.   If you are serving yourself then there is no room for the law of love.   In essence, when we serve ourselves, we have replaced God’s will with our own. Service of others is the life and example that Christ has given.   True worship is more than what you say, sing, and shout in church.   True worship is a relationship with God that leads to a life of love express...

NEW BEGINNINGS

Isaiah 43:19 Behold, I am doing a new thing; now it springs forth, do you not perceive it? I will make a way in the wilderness and rivers in the desert   Some of us are stuck in our present and being held back by our past.   We struggle with what might be and what “was”, all the while God is shining a light on the door that leads into a place of renewal and challenge.   The question is; Why do we hesitate to turn the key and accept the challenge? We must be open and faithful to the plan of God in our lives.   In o ur past and present we have developed a perceived control, but our future is totally in God’s hands.   We need to recognize and accept that in all things God’s will needs to be done.   Do not let fear, and uncertainty become the stumbling blocks that motivate you to sway from God’s plan.   Be bold and accept his will and way for your future.   Look for his guidance and leave the past where it belongs.   ...
