Can't Be Happy with Sin

8/25/2013

 
“Can’t you just be happy for me?” Some will say while arguing their involvement in some matter. However, in order to be happy for someone we must agree with their choice. Otherwise, it will be support of that which isn’t approved. Being happy for someone should cause us to look at the matter and see if any law is being broken. For example, why should we be happy for a person who didn’t get caught while cheating on taxes? So, you see that people could be involved in sinful things when asking people to be happy for them. But, any God-fearing person cannot honor that request because sin is wrong (1 Timothy 5:20-22).

So yes, we will be happy for you, as long as you aren’t trying to make sin appear to be respectful.

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

Feel Free to Visit

8/18/2013

 
When visitors come to a church, the members should make them feel welcome. There are people who would visit a church, but they might not know anything about church doctrine or the people, so they feel apprehensive. But the members of the church must realize that it is their duty to walk over and introduce themselves and make the visitor feel relaxed because no visitor should ever have to introduce himself. The church members shouldn’t smother the visitor with too many questions nor should church members pressure visitors for phone numbers or addresses. The church may mention that visitors cards are available, but a visitor cannot be pressured nor made to feel obligated to fill out one. If a visitor wishes to become a member of that church, he should continue to visit in order to get to know the church members and find out what is taught.
So yes, there is no need to be afraid to visit, just come and you will find potential friends (Micah 4:1-2; Psalm 122:1; 1 Corinthians 14:23-25; Genesis 28:16-17).

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

Word of God Judges Man

8/11/2013

 
​When asked about same sex relationships recently, the Pope said, “Who am I to judge?”
With that we agree: no one should judging because the Bible teaches that such is wrong (Matthew 7:1-2). However, the word of God is what judges men, and the Pope should tell people what the word of God teaches so that souls can get right in the eyes of the Lord (Jeremiah 23:21-22; John 12:47-48; Revelation 20:12; Acts 17:26-31).

The Pope should teach men about the danger of departing from the word of God (2 John 9; 3 John 11; 1 Timothy 4:1-3, 1:3-6, 4:16, 6:3; Colossians 2:8; 2 Peter 3:17).

The Pope should teach men what the word of God has said in the following scriptures concerning marriage (Genesis 2:18-25, 3:16; Proverbs 18:22, 19:13-14, 31:10-31; Matt. 19:4-6; 1 Cor. 7:1-5,10-11; Ephesians 5:22-33; Col. 3:18-20; Titus 2:1-5).

If the Pope will teach what the word of God said on same sex relations, he will not be judging; but speaking as the oracles of God (1 Peter 4:11; 2 Thessalonians 2:15).

Who Am I to Judge?

8/4/2013

 
When asked about same sex relationships last week, the Pope said; “who am I to judge?” With that we agree—no one should judging because the Bible teaches that such is wrong (Matthew 7:1-2). However, the word of God is what judges men, and the Pope should tell people what the word of God teaches so that souls can get right in the eyes of the Lord (Jeremiah 23:21-22; John 12:47-48; Revelation 20:12; Acts 17:26-31).

The Pope should teach men about the danger of departing from the word of God (2 John 9; 3 John 11; 1 Timothy 4:1-3; 1 Tim. 1:3-6, 4:16, 6:3; Colossians 2:8; 2 Peter 3:17).

The Pope should teach men what the word of God has said in the following scriptures concerning marriage (Genesis 2:18-25, 3:16, Proverbs 18:22, 19:13-14, 31:10-31; Matt. 19:4-6; 1 Corinthians 7:1-5,10-11; Ephesians 5:22-33; Col. 3:18-20; Titus 2:1-5). If the Pope will teach what the word of God said on same sex relations, he will not be judging, but he will be speaking as the oracles of God (1 Peter 4:11; 2 Thess. 2:15).
