For Lovers of Pleasure

March 26, 2008 No Comments

As I see it, a lot of pleasures are of course God-given and its good for us to give thanks for them. But I want to say something to people who believe that their whole pursuit in life should basically be for pleasure in one form or another. I would say it is a pretty popular view and one worth addressing.

An early Christian leader, Paul, wrote that if there is no resurrection, “Let us eat, drink and be merry, for tomorrow we die”. In other words, if this life is all there is to live for, then let’s live it up and enjoy it.

Losing our Lives for the Gospel

When he had called the people to Himself, with his disciples also, He said to them, “Whoever desires to come after Me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow Me.”

“For whoever desires to save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for My sake and the gospel’s will save it.” (Mark 8:34,35)

We can see here plainly enough that the recommendations of Jesus Christ fly in the face of everything that our natural instincts tell us.

Paganism and Occult Religions

Soon after the fall of man, people began to traffic with the fallen angels and demons rule over the affairs of this world directly or indirectly, by the consent of man. There are many who have sought power to get what they want by serving these spirits. In some cases the power is obtained through sacrifices, in other cases, through religious or magic rituals, or a combination of both.

These fallen angels, these evil spirits, are masters of deception.

The New Creation

“We, according to His promise, look for new heavens and a new earth wherein dwelleth righteousness” – 1 Peter 3:13; Rev Chapters 21 and 22.

Introduction

Hebrews 11, speaks to us about the great faith people, one of which was Abraham. He obeyed God implicitly when asked to move out into something new. The underlying motivation for Abraham’s unwavering trust in God, was an understanding of the topic we will be discussing in this lesson. Abraham had a revelation of “the city which has foundations, whose builder and maker is God”, v10.

What We Need to Know about Times and Seasons

At the time of writing, there is a war on between Israel and Lebanon. A lot of people are suffering – Christians, Moslems and Jews. There is tension between Iran and the USA and it is believed that the conflict could escalate. Apparently a islamic terror plot to blow up some airplanes in mid-air has just been foiled, and security measures are being tightened everywhere. The economies of the world are looking shaky, and fear and anxiety are on the rise.

It is at times like this that many of us long for the return of Christ.

How Can I Know that God is Real?

March 3, 2007 No Comments

We can know God is real when we experience His reality. God wants us
to know that He is real. One way you can find out for sure is through an
experimental approach. Pray a prayer like this:

“God, if you are real, show me. If you really exist, I want to know
before it is too late.”

No one else needs to know if you prayed such a prayer. If there is no
God, then He can’t respond to any prayer.

"Then the seventh angel sounded [the trumpet]: And there were loud
voices in heaven, saying, "The kingdoms of this world have become the kingdoms
of our Lord and of His Christ, and He shall reign forever and ever!"

(Revelations 11:15)

Commitment to Worship

I shall worship the Lord my God, and Him only shall I serve. (Matthew 4:10)

I am a true worshipper, and worship the Father in spirit and in truth for the Father is seeking such to worship Him.
(John 4:23)

I shall love the Lord my God with all my heart, with all my soul, with all my strength, and with all my mind, and my neighbour as myself. (Luke 10:27)

Whether I eat or drink, or whatever I do, I do all to the glory of God.

Confessions on Death to Sin

February 26, 2007 No Comments

I reckon I’m really dead to sin. # Rom 6.11

My old nature was crucified with Jesus, so I am dead to myself also.

I reckon I’m really alive to God, in Jesus Christ my Lord. # Rom 6.11

I do not let sin rule in my mortal body, to obey it in its lusts. # Rom 6.12

I do not yield my members as instruments of unrighteousness to sin. I rather yield myself to God and my members as instruments of righteousness to God. # Rom 6.12-6.13

Sin shall not Lord it over me, for I am not under the law, but under grace.

I continue to behold as in a mirror with unveiled face the glory of the Lord and am constantly being transformed into His very own image in ever-increasing splendour and from one degree of glory to another. 2Cor 3.18

God has shone in my heart the light for the illumination of the knowledge of the majesty and glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ, the Messiah. 2Cor 4.6

I always carry about in my body the dying of the Lord Jesus, so that the resurrection life of Jesus also may be shown forth by and in my body. 2Cor 4.10
