How To Change Sinful Behavior

Our sinful behavior will only change when we are able to confess our sin. Without confession, behavior remains the same.

If our confession is not sincerely authentic, only expressed to make things better, then behavior will not change either.

In order to change our behavior we must admit our sin, confess it openly, then and only then will our heart be changed bringing on a different attitude and behavior.

1 John 1:9
"9 If we confess our sins, He is faithful and righteous to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness."

Is the Chip Itself the Mark

There are some people who think if someone gets the chip in the hand, they are taking the mark of the beast. The chip is only the vehicle through which the beast will place his number, if in fact it really is the vehicle.

When someone takes the mark they will know they are taking the mark in allegiance to the beast, they will know they are going to follow him.

A Christian will not take that mark, realizing God will take care of them. No one will accidentally or unknowingly take the mark, it will be a conscious on purpose action on the part of the person taking it.

It is possible that if the Lord tarries some will be taking the chip for other reasons, but it will not yet have the mark in it.

There were people who thought the tattoos on the Jews in World War II, was the mark.

Then when the VISA card came along they thought it was that. I do not think that the chip is the mark, but I think the beast may use the chip when he comes on the scene.

Just to be clear, I don't want that chip in my hand, just because I don't want a foreign object in my hand. I don't even like tattoos because of the damage to the body.

"If" or "I did it"

If you confront someone about their action toward you and they say, "if I did anything wrong I am sorry", then you know they are not sorry because they don't believe they did anything or they wouldn't say "if."

When we are guilty and we know it, we say, "I am sorry I did that to you." Not, "I am sorry you were offended, that is another way of placing the blame on us for being offended.

If someone is truly sorry, they feel bad, they express exactly what they did and ask forgiveness.

James 5:16 "16 Therefore confess your sins to each other and pray for each other so that you may be healed. The prayer of a righteous man has great power to prevail. "

We know a righteous man can sin by these passages. Righteous men are the ones who confess. Unrighteous men do not confess, they excuse themselves or deny their guilt.

Silly Arguments to Hide Sin

Atheists and liberals cannot be consistent. They will accuse you of being judgmental while judging that you are judgmental.

A woman once told me that I shouldn't tell people they were wrong, while she was telling me I was wrong.

When there is only emotion without wisdom in comments they can be very silly.

Hostile or Ashamed?

These verses were written to born again believers.

Hebrews 12:5-7 "…5 And you have forgotten the exhortation that addresses you as sons: “My son, do not make light of the Lord’s discipline, or lose heart when He rebukes you. 6 For the Lord disciplines the one He loves, and He chastises everyone He receives as a son.” 7 Endure suffering as discipline; God is treating you as sons. For what son is not disciplined by his father?…"

Also written to believers:

1 John 1:9
"9 If we confess our sins, He is faithful and righteous to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness."

Only believers have an advocate with the Father! Yes believers do sin, but the difference between believers and non-believers, is that believers hate their sin and are tormented by them, they eventually confess and forsake. Non-believers have no conscience over their sin, they love it, brag about it and become hostile when they are told it is sin.

4,000 Babies Missing!

Every day in our country 4,000 more babies are murdered in the abortion mills.

And anyone would think that God is going to bless America while this is going on?

Are these people brain dead, God hates murder and will never bless a person or a country that endorses murder while having no remorse about it.

Psalm 66:18 "18 If I regard wickedness in my heart, The Lord will not hear;"

Today there will be 4,000 more babies missing in our country at the hands of their mothers and the doctors that did the dirty deed.

Follow Christ Not Man

We can expect nearly "everyone" around us, to be angry with us even when we do nothing other than express our own beliefs and live our own life. How we think and how we live is an affront to those who are perishing.

Superficial believers will place their own rules and expectations on us as though they are God's law. Many of those expectations are not in the Word of God, nor are they beneficial.

The most spiritually beneficial and righteous ways are those principles that are described in God's Word. As believers in Christ, we follow Him, not any one else's idea of righteousness.

If we doubt our own beliefs and actions, we do not go to someone else, we go to God, He will tell us what we should be doing and being. He will make us what we should be while compelling us to be what He wants us to be.

Many false rules and expectations have been added to the doctrines of those who desire to appear superior to others. They pride themselves in their own rules, while they negate God in many things they endorse.

Matthew 11:29-30 "…29 Take My yoke upon you and learn from Me; for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. 30 For My yoke is easy and My burden is light.”

Mark 7:13-14 "13 Thus you nullify the word of God by the tradition you have handed down. And you do so” in many such matters. 14 Once again Jesus called the crowd to Him and said, “All of you, listen to Me and understand:…"

Revelation 3:16-18 "…16 So because you are lukewarm—neither hot nor cold—I am about to spit you out of My mouth! 17 You say, ‘I am rich; I have grown wealthy and need nothing.’ But you do not realize that you are wretched, pitiful, poor, blind, and naked. 18 I counsel you to buy from Me gold refined by fire so that you may become rich, white garments so that you may be clothed and your shameful nakedness not exposed, and salve to anoint your eyes so that you may see.…"

Lukewarm is good for nothing, coolness refreshes and revives while hot brings healing and fervor to the soul.
