The tares, the false “Christians”, are prowling…
As it says in Hosea 4:6, “My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge; because you have rejected knowledge, I reject you from being a priest to me. And since you have forgotten the law of your God, I also will forget your children.” How can He save you and yours if you willing walk into a liars lair?
Be careful and thoughtful of who you listen to. Does what they say align with the Bible?
Are they cherry picking scripture to push their agenda?
Knowing that the bible is based 100% on our restoration to God, take these three things into consideration…
1- Jesus said in John 15:12, “This is my commandment, that ye love one another, even as I have loved you. And added in John 15:17, “These things I command you, that ye may love one another.” He did not ask you to, He told you to. Our point of view is not more important than theirs. If you have, ask forgiveness of it! If they did, forgive it. The hate propels more hate.
2- Does what they say point 100% to Jesus? Or their ministry? Note: “their” is not the same as the Fathers. Learn to listen. The devil hides in the details.
3- Gods word is free for all. Including prayers. No charge. Tithing, or giving back to God 1/10th of what He has already given you, is not the same as sowing an offering in response to the gospel of the Lord Jesus, based on faith in God as our Provider as He states in 2 Corinthians 9:6, “Remember this: Whoever sows sparingly will also reap sparingly, and whoever sows generously will also reap generously. 7 Each of you should give what you have decided in your heart to give, not reluctantly or under compulsion, for God loves a cheerful giver. 8 And God is able to bless you abundantly, so that in all things at all times, having all that you need, you will abound in every good work. 9 As it is written:“They have freely scattered their gifts to the poor their righteousness endures forever.”
Know His voice. Live in Peace.
Amen. So glad our pastor speaks truth and not fluff.
