Isaiah 7:14

"Therefore the Lord Himself will give you a sign: Behold, a virgin will be with child and bear a son, and she will call His name Immanuel. 15 He will eat curds and honey at the time He knows enough to refuse evil and choose good. 16 For before the boy will know enough to refuse evil and choose good, the land whose two kings you dread will be forsaken."

The Way We Think

When how we think is based on acceptance from the culture we cannot be dedicated to Christ. Everything we do will be based on how others perceive us not on what God thinks.

1 Corinthians 2:15-16 "…15 The spiritual man judges all things, but he himself is not subject to anyone’s judgment. 16“For who has known the mind of the Lord, so as to instruct Him?” But we have the mind of Christ."

Life in America

Just recently I was rejected by my "Christian" daughter for chastising her for posting things about astrology. She was very friendly to me until I did that, then she became disrespectful as though all that friendliness was not real, only a show to get me to do things for her. This is exactly what people do with God. They use Him,defame Him and claim they are "Christian."

We find out the truth about a person when we challenge them in a particular area of needed growth. Chastisement is the new evil. We are allowed to be friends with those who disobey God but only if we praise everything they want and do.

God clearly told us to "rebuke, admonish, correct daily one another." Without the input of stronger believers we are led to believe everything we choose is alright with God as long as we feel good about it.

America is full of abominations being practiced by "Christians", while the Christians think they are perfectly alright.

When we seek Christ our eyes become opened to everything we believed that needs correction. Suddenly all the things we used to enjoy that dishonor God are ugly to us. We want nothing to do with them.

Praise the Lord we are freer than ever the day we commit to loving God above man. We are no longer in bondage to the whims and desires of others. We are free to evaluate everything we do according to Scripture rejecting that which is not Biblical to embrace that which honors. God.

Hallelujah!!!!
