Reunited With Our Family, The Family of God

Those who love Christ are our family if we are born again. 

One day at the marriage supper of the Lamb we will all be reunited to rejoice over our final marriage to our Husband. 

What an amazing celebration that will be and we won't have to worry about what to wear. 

We will all be clothed in garments of white, a pure spotless Bride because of Christ. Hallelujah!!!

Sabbath Days and Foods

This is not pertaining to pagan holidays as some would like to assert. This passage is speaking about worship days and foods. Let's not make it pertain to anything else.

Romans 14:1-6
King James Version (KJV)
14 Him that is weak in the faith receive ye, but not to doubtful disputations.

2 For one believeth that he may eat all things: another, who is weak, eateth herbs.

3 Let not him that eateth despise him that eateth not; and let not him which eateth not judge him that eateth: for God hath received him.

4 Who art thou that judgest another man's servant? to his own master he standeth or falleth. Yea, he shall be holden up: for God is able to make him stand.

5 One man esteemeth one day above another: another esteemeth every day alike. Let every man be fully persuaded in his own mind.

6 He that regardeth the day, regardeth it unto the Lord; and he that regardeth not the day, to the Lord he doth not regard it. He that eateth, eateth to the Lord, for he giveth God thanks; and he that eateth not, to the Lord he eateth not, and giveth God thanks.

Silliness in the Worship

Is anyone else disgusted with the foolish levity that is invading the modern church?

I was listening to a radio program recently on the way home from shopping. I listened for about 15 minutes, hoping the flippant joking would be over and the meaty sermon would begin. Foolishness never did stop and there was no meat, I couldn't stand to listen any longer, so I turned off the radio.

When we make a comic show out of the preaching of the Word, to foster happiness in the listener, then we have encouraged silliness in those who are listening. How can we expect those listening to take anything from the Word seriously.

If anything there should be more weeping over sin in our gatherings. Those who are in sin should be weeping over it and confessing and those who are not in sin should be weeping with them. Our churches are full of sin now as so many believers are ignoring the principles of God in favor of fostering a social club mentality.

We used to have a saying we heard on the media often, when I was growing up, it was; "My country right or wrong." It was a foolish saying because it meant that it didn't matter how evil things became we would still stand by our country.

God wants us to expose wickedness, take things seriously and remove ourselves from those who refuse to repent.

1 Peter 5:8-9
"8 Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour:
9 Whom resist stedfast in the faith, knowing that the same afflictions are accomplished in your brethren that are in the world."

Romans 16:17
"17 Now I urge you, brethren, note those who cause divisions and offenses, contrary to the doctrine which you learned, and avoid them."

1 Timothy 5:20
"20 Those who are sinning rebuke in the presence of all, that the rest also may fear."

Titus 3:10-11
"10 Reject a divisive man after the first and second admonition, 11 knowing that such a person is warped and sinning, being self-condemned."

Be so close to Christ that those who hate Him will go away and those that love Him will come closer.
