Weekly Words of Instruction

"All unrighteousness is sin," 1 John 5:17. "For sin is the transgression of the Law," 1 John 3:4.

There are people who will do wrong, and afterward attempt to justify the wrong done. But that sort of reasoning just won't do because wrong is always wrong, no matter what, and trying to explain it away is a joke.
  • Wrong is still wrong, even if one doesn't get caught, Proverbs 15:13.
  • Wrong is wrong, even if done for a supposedly good cause, 1 Samuel 15:22.
  • Wrong is wrong, even if everyone is doing it, Exodus 32:2.
  • Wrong is still wrong, even if it doesn't bother the person's conscience, Proverbs 14:12.

​Hope to hear from you or to see you at the services.

Placing a man as head of the church, considering him infallible, and worshipping him as the Holy Father is wrong (Ephesians 5:23, 1 Kings 8:46, Matthew 23:1–12). The apostle Paul and another man, Apollos, got the church started in the city of Corinth. Afterward, the people began to worship them rather than Christ, so Paul had to teach them not to think of men above what is written (1 Corinthians 1:12–13, 1 Corinthians 3:3–7, 1 Corinthians 4:6). Another man named Cornelius, bowed at the feet of the apostle Peter, with the intent of worshipping him, but Peter said "no way"! Peter had to explain that he should not be worshipped because he is a man, and that worship is to be offered to God (Acts 10:24–26, Matt. 4:10).

We are mentioning these things because many hold religious leaders in very high esteem, and such is wrong. No one who believes the word of God, can do that, and be right in the process (2 John 9–11, Luke 6:46).

Hope to hear from you or to see you at the services.

If the dead could send a message to the living, it would be "There is a heaven and hell, so get your souls right with God!" (Luke 16:27–28). Preaching the gospel of Jesus Christ is the message that will save all men from hell, for it is the power of God unto salvation (Romans 1:16, 1 Corinthians 1:18–21, 1 Cor. 15:2). Teaching mankind how to be saved from their sins is the greatest work in the world, but it is also the most despised work in the world because most people have no love for the Lord (John 3:19–21, Rom. 10:16, Matthew 7:13–14). This is a pity because men need Jesus, and if they refuse to obey him, where Jesus will be in the hereafter, those men cannot come (John 8:21).

The woman who is a full-time homemaker does a wonderful job, and a job that doesn't get the credit it deserves at times because jobs paying big bucks overshadow this humble work. Money isn't everything, for there are some values that the mighty dollar cannot achieve (1 Timothy 6:6–10). One can be making $100,000 a year, and if the home isn't comfortable and the husband and children taken care of, what good is that? A loving home is a wonderful comfort to walk into, so think about that.

This week's killing of another child (a two-year-old girl) is continued proof that there are just too many knuckleheads with children. These irresponsible people are having babies and not properly caring for them. Instead of love, savage beatings await these young children. And want to hear a real nightmare? Right now, there is a child somewhere being brutalized by some male or female monster. Oh, how the righteous need to pray for these children! Children need to be desired before they are conceived with plans on their training and care provided before birth. And above all things, no children should be conceived outside of marriage! That's God's way, and those who don't like it are going to have to argue with him! And you know what? They will lose that argument! Now here is the proof, read it in the bible (Ephesians 6:1–4, Colossians 3:20–21, 1 Timothy 3:4–5, 1 Timothy 3:12, 1 Timothy 5:8, Matthew 5:28, Matthew 15:18–19, 1 Corinthians 6:18, Hebrews 13:4, Genesis 39:7–15).

Hope to hear from you or to see you at the services.
