THE CHRISTIAN IN THE WORLD
THE STANDARD THEME FOR AMERICA THESE DAYS IS SEX AND GREED. AMERICA HAS FOUND THE STEPS TO DESTRUCTION AND HELL, A LOT CLOSER TO THE BOTTOM THAN EVER BEFORE.
AS CHRISTIANS, WE LIVE IN THIS COUNTRY THAT IS LIKE A SODOM AND GOMMORAH, AND THE WORST PART IS OUR DESTINY, BECAUSE OF THE KNOWLEDGE WE POSSESS, BECAUSE OF GODS HOLY WORD AND THE HOLY SPIRIT. IT WILL BE WORSE FOR AMERICA, THAN FOR SODOM AND GOMMORAH, BECAUSE WE POSSESS THESE THINGS FROM GOD. IF WE REFUSE TO CHOOSE TO LIVE BY THE WORDS OF GOD AND WE REFUSE TO REPENT, SODOM AND GOMMORAH WILL BE A WITNESS AGAINST US, ON THE DAY OF JUDGMENT.
WE AS CHRISTIANS MUST NOT BE OF THE WORLD AND BE PARTAKERS OF THE DEGENERATE SOCIETY, THATS COMPOSES THE GREATER PART OF THE NATIONS STATISTICS. AS CHRISTIANS WE MUST COME OUT FROM AMONG THEM, AND BE CLEAN, AND BE HOLY, AS GOD IS HOLY.
TO BE HOLY REQUIRES A LOT OF RECEPTION OF GODS HOLY SPIRIT AND STUDY OF GODS WORD. WE MUST STRIVE TO BE PURE AND HOLY, AS WE LIVE IN A GODLESS SOCIETY. TO BE HOLY, COMES WITH THE CHARACTER, OF A BORN AGAIN CHRISTIAN.
THE BEST WAY TO BE HOLY, IS TO ABSTAIN FROM ANYTHING THAT DOES NOT HAVE SPIRITUAL GRATIFICATION. THAT MEANS EXCLUDING MOVIES AND TELEVISION PROGRAMS AND ANYTHING, THAT PROMOTES A DIFFERENT LIFESTYLE, THAN WHAT THE WORD OF GOD TEACHES US. TO EXCLUDE OUR EYES AND HEARS, FROM HEARING VULGAR EXPLETIVES AND TO EXCLUDE OUR EYES AND EARS, FROM VILOENT ACTS OF AGGRESSION, WHETHER ON SPORT FIELDS OR JUST PLAIN HATE AND DESPICABLE ACTS OF VIOLENCE. TO KEEP OUR EYES AND EARS, FROM SEXUAL INUENDOS AND SEXUALLY EXPLICIT ADS AND PORNORGAPHY.
WE MUST DEVOTE OUR TIME ON EARTH, DEVELOPING A LIFESTYLE SUITABLE AND ACCEPTABLE TO GOD. WE MUST STRIVE TOWARDS PERFECTION, AS WE ARE LED BY THE HOLY SPIRIT, TO PURGE OUR LIVES OF THE FOREMENTIONED THINGS, THAT TENDS TO DRAW US AWAY FROM THE PURITY, THE PEACE AND THE HOLINESS OF OUR GOD.
IF YOU ARE STRUGGLING IN THESE AREAS OF YOUR LIFE, IT IS POSSIBLE, THAT ALTHOUGH YOU CLAIM TO BE A CHRISTIAN, YOU ARE NOT CAPABLE OF FULFILLING THE REQUIRMENTS, THAT YAHSHUA TAUGHT US. THE REASON BEING IS, THAT YOU HAVE NOT YET YIELDED ALL YOUR LIFE TO CHRIST. YOU HAVE YET TO COME TO THE POINT OF TOTAL SUBMISSION AND THEREFORE HAVE NOT EXPERIENCED THE BORN AGAIN EXPERIENCE, NECESSARY TO ENTER THE KINGDOM OF GOD. THIS IS A VITAL POINT THAT YOU NEED TO CONSIDER, AS YOU TEST YOUR FAITH. IF YOU ARE POWERLESS TO AVOID SUCH THINGS AS HAS BEEN MENTIONED, IT MOST CERTAINLY WOULD REVEAL A NEED TO SUBMIT AGAIN FULLY, YOUR LIFE TO CHRIST, AND START LIVING BY THE HOLY SPIRIT AND NOT THE FLESH. FOR IF YOU LIVE BY THE FLESH, BY THE FLESH YOU WILL REAP DESTRUCTION, BUT IF YOU LIVE BY THE HOLY SPIRIT, YOU WILL REAP ETERNAL LIFE.
MAYBE ITS TIME TO REVALUATE YOUR LIFE AND GET BACK ON THE RIGHT ROAD, THE STRAIGHT AND NARROW ROAD, THAT LEADS TO ETERNAL LIFE, INSTEAD THE BROAD ROAD, THAT LEADS TO DESTRUCTION.
MAY GOD HELP US SEE THE ERROR OF OUR WAYS AND LEAD US TO VICTORY.
