The city of Philadelphia has a woman slated to become the next mayor. Many people are praising her and saying that she is the answer to the city's problems. I don’t want to degrade this woman and I hope if she is elected mayor; that she does well.
But there is a bigger picture here and that is human behavior. This city along with many communities is suffering because people aren’t living right. People don't go to church and the bible is mocked and forgotten. The bible needs to be followed by men and women everywhere. The commandments do not steal, don’t murder, don’t lie, cheat, respect your neighbors, help the weak, be respectful of others, show good behavior in the schools and in the streets. etc All these things can be learned by studying the Bible and going to church. No person elected as mayor is going to save us from ourselves. We must save ourselves by repenting and embracing the word of the Lord. Each person must do so now, before its too late.

Religious division is something most don’t want to talk about. However, it is a fact that people are divided on things concerning God. Man isn’t divided because the bible is the problem. The bible is the word of Almighty God and nothing in this great book comes up short. Isa 55:11. Jer 23:29. 1 Pt 1:23-25. Heb 4:12. Division exists because of men and it will continue as long as men do. 1 Cor 1:10. 2 Cor 13:11.1 Tim 1:3-4.1 Tim 6:3-5. Mk 7:7. But all the different religious practices can be made right if the proper procedure is put into action. I’m not talking about so-called unity forums where everyone comes together and agrees on some points then leave still being members of differentchurches. I’m talking about all men forsaking their creed books, their ownthoughts and what others have told them, never holding those views again and just allowing the bible be the guide. Gal 1:8-9. 2 John 8-11.
Jesus said, “he that loves father or mother, more than me isn’t worthy of me.” Meaning if family comes before Him, we cannot serve Him. Matt 10.37. Some when speaking about a son or daughter who is involved in something that is wrong; will say, “I love and support my child unconditionally.” One should love his child, however if the child is involved in something that will bring damnation; how can you say you love them and not correct them? Correcting children isn’t hate; correction is love. Jude 22-23. Heb 12.9 A man came to the Lord with a question and Jesus looked upon him in a loving way and said, “there's one thing that you lack, sell all your possessions, take up your cross and follow me. Mk 10.17-22 The Lord corrected the man, but that rebuke was for his own good. Let us rebuke wrong; it will save someone. Jas 5.19-20 If you think you have plenty of time on earth, and you will keep having a good life year after year with no interruption in your happy existence; you are going to be sadly mistaken. Luke 12:16-20. No one knows tomorrow; our lives can be changed forever in the twinkling of an eye. James 4:13-14. That is why insurance exists, to save us from the unexpected and many people are smart enough to buy it. We also know that some people aren’t very smart, they go around without insurance and pay a heavy price when losses occur. That is why salvation comes into this conversation. Being a child of God is a major help when we face the challenges of life. We can deal with hardship by believing that Jesus Christ will see us though, not allowing more than we can stand to happen. Romans 8:28. 1 Corinthians 10:13. Psalms 121:7 I would like to implore you to stop living your life without insurance for the soul. All will die and stand before the Judge and give account for the life lived. 2 Cor 5:10. You must have salvation insurance to stand successfully before Him. Would you like to know more about the gospel of Christ which puts men in a relationship with God and sets them free from sin? Romans 6:1-18 A few years ago; a famous man got into trouble because of his involvement in extramarital affairs.
A female claimed he raped her, but he denied it. Charges were filed, there was a trial, jail time was served. Some people were happy, some weren’t. Situations like this should serve as an example for the choices that we make. By seeing what happen here, it should help us not to repeat the same mistakes. I don’t know if the man in question was guilty of all the things of which he was accursed, but one thing he certainly was guilty of was the extramarital affairs. Since he made the choice to put himself into that realm; he opened the door for the unfortunate things of which he suffered. Pro 5:15-23. Pro 6:24-35. The lesson for us is not to get involved in adultery, because one cannot win! That sin will find us out. Gal 6:7. Numbers 32:23. Gen 39:9. 2 Samuel chapters 11-12. |
