Which Jesus Do You Follow?

I have heard said, “God is a loving God, He would never send someone to hell.”

Is this the God you follow? The Jesus you know?

A Jesus. A God who is loving and kind and a God who would never send someone to hell would never judge because he is so loving….

We have turned God into a “loving” God only. We’ve taken away the justice of God. The jealous God. The God that requires ALL of us. We have turned that God away from our:

• Our politics – our government
• Our religion
• Our quality of life
• Our sexual identity
• Our very breath

God warns His people. He gives us directives to live by. But we pick and choose. We read that book and choose what we want to live with and ignore the other parts -  it is more comfortable to  for us.

How do you look at the Bible? 

• Promises?
• Prophesies?
• Teachings?
• Stories?
• Warnings?
• God’s Word as a whole complete book? As His infallible Word?

In only presenting God as love, we remove all fear of Him. We remove all Accountability. We present only a part of Him.

In a world that abuses love in every way:

• By throwing it away
• By perverting it into any “thing” we want it to be for pleasing self
• By believing love is only sex

And then we present God as only a “Loving God” – so what is to be expected? We turn a “loving god” into anyone – into anything we want him to be. Then God becomes as perverted as our beliefs on love are.

We must present Jesus as our only answer and present Him in the Truth as it stands –  in the Bible.

To think His Word has changed throughout the years is not correct. It stood firm when He wrote it through men and it stands firm today.

 

2 Timothy 3:16 NIV

All Scripture is God-breathed and is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting and training in righteousness.

The Plumb Line of Jesus

In my twitter feed on September 24th, I read two tweets – back to back by two different people:

“You must stop talking about the problem and start talking about the solution… Start speaking words of victory.”

Women of Christ

“In a world filled with problems, He provides the answer. His name is Jesus.”

Liz Curtis Higgs

As simplistic as that sounds, it is complete truth. 

Jesus is our only answer.  Our Nation, our people, even many of our churches have turned their backs on Him.

We’ve turned our backs on Him and then  are disgusted, saddened, sickened, devastated by the news we hear daily. School killings, Pastors in prisons, human trafficking, need I go on?

When the simple answer is Jesus.

Have we strayed too far?

Can our world, our country, our lives ever be brought back to the

plumb line of Jesus?

For My Family and Friends

I am writing this blog to you with no apologies!

I have found as I have gotten older that I have an urgency. An urgency to make sure you know Jesus Christ and all that His death means to you.

I’m interested in where you are in your faith. Do you have faith? Is your faith where it should be?

I believe our world is winding down. I believe that Jesus will return soon. I believe that a time is coming for you to decide whether you are for Him or against Him. There is no half way, there is no wavering on this decision. And it’s an all or nothing decision.

I will venture to say that everyone of you that has an opportunity to read this post has at some time heard the Gospel – the Good News – the plan of salvation – whatever you call it or whatever you’ve heard it called, I am sure you have heard about Jesus Christ and that He died for you.

If you are wavering in the decision to accept Him for who He is, in the decision in knowing the one true and living God I pray you choose Him.

I will pray – I will talk with you if you want to talk.

Figure it out.

Your future depends on it.

Are there many paths to God?

http://www.crfbc.org/

In Mark chapter 8: Jesus asks His disciples, "Who do people say I am?" 

They answered by saying, "Some say John the Baptist; others say Elijah; and still others say, one of the prophets."

"But what about you?" He asked, "Who do you say I am?"

Peter answered,"You are the Messiah."

We are living in the times of "many paths to God."  You can hear this on television, see it in magazines, read it in books and on the internet. This is a lie that is being taught as truth.

One reason so many are buying into this teaching is because of the attitude of tolerance. In wanting to be politically correct we accept false teachings as truth. We want to be loving people and in "loving" we believe we must tolerate all things. 

The problem lies in accepting these lies. 

There is one true and living God. He is the creator of all things. 

Jesus says in John 14:6:

"I am the way, the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me."

Very clearly we are told that there is only one way to God and that is Jesus Christ.

In acknowledging Jesus as the Son of the one true God calls for a commitment. One many aren't willing to make.

"If we acknowledge a personal God - we must surrender our lives completely to Him."      Brad Cooper

Who do you say that He is?

 When He asks, "Who do you say that I am" -

Are you willing to say:

"You are the Christ the Son of the living God. You are the Messiah."
