Learn from Others' Mistakes

4/28/2013

 
When a bottle of liquid has a skull and cross bones on it, one should be smart enough not to drink it. If one notices a sign “slippery when wet,” one should be smart enough not to speed that way. If the shark tank has “no hands allowed,” one should be smart enough not to put a hand in there. The point of all this is, we wish that people would learn without having to suffer the consequences of being hard headed. A man may know the risk of picking up hookers, but not learn his lesson until he is arrested or is a victim of a transmitted sexual disease (Proverbs 5:11-13). If the word is out, “Don’t send text messages while driving,” one should learn from those words and not from having an accident.

In Luke 15:11-32, we read of a young man who demanded his inheritance and wasted it after moving far away. This guy didn’t listen to anything until he was broke, alone, and sitting among the pigs, desiring the slop they ate. Likewise the word of the Lord warns men; but are we listening? (Prov. 1:20-33, 22:3).

Get Control of Your Life

4/21/2013

 
​Would you like to get away from useless people? If so, consider these Bible verses.
  • Proverbs 23:20, Be not among winebibbers; among riotous eaters of flesh
  • Prov. 28:7, But he that is a companion of riotous men shames his father.
  • 1 Corinthians 15:33, Be not deceived: evil communications corrupt good manners.
  • 2 Cor. 6:17, Wherefore come out from among them, and be separated, said the Lord, and touch not the unclean thing; and I will receive you.
  • 1 Timothy 5:22, Neither be partaker of other men’s sins: keep thyself pure.
  • 2 Tim. 2:22, Flee also youthful lusts: but follow righteousness, faith, charity, peace, and them that call on the Lord out of a pure heart.

Get control of your life by dumping dead beats, and your next step should be going toward the Lord. If you want to get your life right, and if you are willing to let the word of God guide you; we want to hear from you. Make the effort to savage your life and soul (Acts 2:40).

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

Bible Doesn't Need Upgrade

4/14/2013

 
People have been saying that the Bible needs a upgrade—that its teaching are out of date with the ever changing times in which we live. Well, I agree that we are living in changing times, and those changes are not for better, but for worse! (2 Timothy 3:13). No, the word of Almighty God doesn’t need upgrading! People need to quit being sinfully progressive and return and listen to what the word of the Lord has to say! (Proverbs 1:33). The word of Almighty God will last from the beginning until the end of time (Revelation 1:8; 1 Peter 1:23; Hebrews 13:8; Matthew 24:35; Isaiah 55:8-11; Heb. 4:12).

The Creator made man, and He knows what is best for man and when He speaks, He speaks for eternity because that’s what His word means. The same word, which many say is obsolete, will judge them in the end (John 12:47-48; Prov. 30:4-5).

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

Better to Be A Bible Thumper

4/14/2013

 
Some like to ridicule, so let’s speak about those who poke fun at people who believe in following the Bible as their life guide (Psalms 119:104-106). Those who hate the scriptures, call these people “BIBLE THUMPERS.” However, they fail to understand that there are only two choices: one can be a “BIBLE THUMPER” or a “SELF THUMPER.” It is best to be a “BIBLE THUMPER” because those who stand on the word of God will last forever (Matthew 24:35; 1 Peter 1:22-25). Those who toot their own horn are mistaken and on their way to Hell (Proverbs 14:12; Jeremiah 17:9, 10:23; Judges 21:25; 2 Timothy 4:2-4).

Consider the words of Jeremiah, “he that hath my word, let him speak my word faithfully” (Jer. 23:28). Better deny self and start thumping than the Bible.
