IS ALL ELSE DUNG COMPARED TO KNOWING HIM?

For the last few years I have had some opportunities to address certain issues among the Saints here and there. It's nothing new really. It's lukewarmness. It's vomitous in God's sight. Yes, we need to be sensitive and do all things in love. Imagine how God feels. We say we love him, but we do not do His word. His word says to hate what is evil and to love what is good. Not to call good evil and evil good.

Having an affection for anything more than we do for The Saviour and Redeemer of all mankind is a problem. You cannot serve two masters. You will either love one and hate the other, but you cannot love both. If you love the world or the things that are in the world, the love of the Father is not in you. What fellowship does light have with darkness?

You might wonder what exactly am I talking about? Inappropriate joking and conversations. Accepting witchcraft as a family game or group activity. Harry Potter social functions and fan clubs. Little by little, allowing the enemy place in your thoughts and daily lives. Yuck! This is not living above reproach people. Everything else is worthless (DUNG) compared to knowing JESUS CHRIST OUR LORD. (or at least that what Paul says in Philippians)

"I will set no wicked thing before mine eyes: I hate the work of them that turn aside; it shall not cleave to me." Psalm 101:3

"So I tell you this, and insist on it in the Lord, that you must no longer live as the Gentiles do, in the futility of their thinking." Ephesians 4:17

TIME DEVOTED

When all the noise and chaos stops, then what do you got? When you cease to live for the approval of others and are no longer in competition with the best of them... suddenly you've got more time on your hands. It seems it is always a good time to reflect, review, and acknowledge what could be stealing precious time and resources and keeping us from being devoted to who and what really matters.                                                    The WORD of GOD and PRAYER. “The poor and needy search for water, but there is none; their tongues are parched with thirst. But I the LORD will answer them; I, the God of Israel, will not forsake them. (Isaiah 41:17) IF WE WOULD DARE TO ADMIT IT, we are the poor and needy. We all need prayer and immediate assistance and direction and help even just to call on the name of Jesus, or pick up His Word daily. Pray for me to spend time as I should, not neglecting the little things.

DEAR CHILDREN OF GOD

As seasons change, anxieties creep in; doubts attempt to steal your peace, and cause you to second guess your decisions…slam the door on despair! Bride of Christ be aware and alert, ever watchful, remaining & abiding in Him. Open your ears, hear what the Spirit is saying to you. Do not entertain thoughts of accusations towards one another. Speak evil of no man. Realize who you are and the words of reconciliation that you have been entrusted with. (II Corinthians 5:17) Be reconciled one to another. Be reconciled to God. Reconcile all men unto God. Endeavor to keep the bond of peace. Forgive one another as God has forgiven you. Remember that He does not treat you as your sins deserve. That grace is not a excuse to keep on sinning, but merciful compassion that makes way for true repentance. So let’s get to it without delay! “GIVE NO OFFENSE IN ANYTHING THAT THE MINISTRY BE NOT BLAMED.” (II Corinthians 6:3) “Love keeps no record of wrongs.” (I Corinthians 13) “The anger of man
