Stubbornness and Stupid are Close Brothers

Stubborn and Stupid are two sides of the same coin. One cannot be stubborn without being stupid. 

Proverbs 29:1 "He who is often reproved, yet stiffens his neck, will suddenly be broken beyond healing."

Ignoring The Word of God is the Same as Ignoring Jesus Christ

Jesus Christ came as a suffering Lamb to die for the sins of the world, others, not Himself. He will return as a roaring lion dispensing justice to the world. He is the God of Love and of Justice. He cannot have love without justice.

John 1:29

Behold the Lamb of God

29 The next day John saw Jesus coming toward him and said, "Look, the Lamb of God, who takes away the sin of the world!"

Revelation 5:5

"5 Then one of the elders said to me, "Do not weep! See, the Lion of the tribe of Judah, the Root of David, has triumphed. He is able to open the scroll and its seven seals."

Coming Soon for Believers in the Millennium

Genesis 49:8-10

8 "Judah,[1] your brothers will praise you; your hand will be on the neck of your enemies; your father's sons will bow down to you.

9 You are a lion's cub, Judah; you return from the prey, my son. Like a lion he crouches and lies down, like a lioness-who dares to rouse him?

10 The scepter will not depart from Judah, nor the ruler's staff from between his feet,

[2]until he to whom it belongs[3] shall come and the obedience of the nations shall be His."

Those of us who love Jesus Christ are looking to Him everyday in our lives but also for what is coming when we shall see Him. Right now His Spirit lives in us, but we cannot see Him. What an amazing time it will be when Christ rules this earth with a rod of iron.

Revelation 19:11-15 Now I saw heaven opened, and behold, a white horse. And He who sat on him was called Faithful and True, and in righteousness He judges and makes war. His eyes were like a flame of fire, and on His head were many crowns. He had a name written that no one knew except Himself. He was clothed with a robe dipped in blood, and His name is called The Word of God. And the armies in heaven, clothed in fine linen, white and clean, followed Him on white horses. Now out of His mouth goes a sharp sword, that with it He should strike the nations. And He Himself will rule them with a rod of iron. He Himself treads the winepress of the fierceness and wrath of Almighty God.

You see, Jesus Christ is called the Word of God, to ignore His Word is to ignore Him.

Believing is Following

Just like the constitution of our country, many people say they believe in the Bible but very few actually follow God's teachings in it.

We live in a time when people think words are facts, feelings are facts and whatever we hear in the ear are facts no matter how little evidence we may have to prove any of it.

We live in a time of great deception and many lies. It takes the discernment of God to detect this trickery.

Proverbs 26:28 "A lying tongue hates those it crushes, And a flattering mouth works ruin."

Proverbs 14:5

"5 An honest witness does not deceive, but a false witness pours out lies."

Proverbs 19:9

"9 A false witness will not go unpunished, and whoever pours out lies will perish."

There are many ways to lie by; insecurity, craftiness and disinformation. May the people of God refuse to believe anything that is not Biblical and which has no real evidence behind it.

Many Christians are believing statements by other Christians or Christian news that have not been proven and that they cannot vet. We ought not to repeat anything we have not been able to prove ourselves. Just because a Christian makes a statement about what they think is going on does not qualify as evidence.

We are better off resisting the pull of the conservative media while keeping our eyes in the Bible for our wisdom and learning.

Every time we repeat something we cannot prove we have told a lie. It is good to only speak about things we have personally experienced and not what others have told us.

Recently I have noticed a lot of people reading articles by people they don't know and have never met and calling it research. This is not research it is likely that it is more indoctrination than fact.

Zechariah 8:16

"These are the things which you should do: speak the truth to one another; judge with truth and judgment for peace in your gates."

Psalm 15:2

"He who walks with integrity, and works righteousness,

And speaks truth in his heart."

Reading the Bible far more than we listen to the media, if we listen to the media at all, is the best thing to do. The world is full of lies and deception, but the Bible is completely true, we need the help of the Holy Spirit to guide our thoughts as we read, then we will know truth from error.

Can't Pray it Away but Trusting Christ will take you out of it!
