Embracing God’s Standards?

“No one can serve two masters. Either you will hate the one and love the other, or you will be devoted to the one and despise the other. You cannot serve both God and money.” Matthew 6:24
Today’s world in 2018 is very confusing. You have to stand for something or you will fall for anything. You can’t have good morals and character apart from God, it is impossible. Just because the government approved something doesn’t make it God’s way, remember that. 

Who do you listen to, modern culture and friends or the word of God? Many well meaning people who say they believe God’s word don’t even crack it open. You have to read it and have to believe it and apply it. Period. 

Who is setting your standards? Who is your heart sold out to? Have you left your first love and expect things to go well even when you ignore God’s knock at your heart? Set your standards high and don’t leave Jesus on the doorstep. It won’t work. 

PRAYER: Oh Father I want to keep my standards high. I want to show love not judgement to others. I pray for those I know who have drifted away. Draw them back to you so you can be their highest standard. In Jesus’ name. Amen.

New Age Versus God

Therefore God exalted him to the highest place and gave him the name that is above every name, that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, in heaven and on earth and under the earth. Philippians 2:9-10

I have been reading a very uplifting and  inspiring book but a couple of places in the book where  it would be appropriate to say “ask God” but instead the author used the phrase “ask the universe”, say what? I find this odd when people are afraid to acknowledge the creator or talk tons about angels but nothing where they name the name of Jesus. 

Mother Earth and Mother Nature are nice ways to maybe want to say ‘God’s creation’ but the person does not want to or maybe simply believes in the big bang and I say yes there was a Big Bang and that is God spoke and bang,  Earth was created, simple as that but too mind boggling for some. This world will try to capture children at a young age and trap them in secular humanism as it is called and that is why it is critical to train children using Holy Scriptures and not manuals promoting alternate truths. Train little ones to worship the creator not creation.

Jesus is Lord. God created the universe and loves all mankind even those who choose to try to abolish Him from society and all thinking. Without God nothing exists. If you are having trouble believing may I suggest a wonderful book which was made into a Hollywood Film ‘The Case For Christ’ by Lee Strobel atheist turned Christian. Jesus loves me this I know for the Bible tells me so.

PRAYER: Lord you created a awesome world. Help those who choose to diss you be turned to the truth found only in the Bible. Help use me as a light to share this truth. In Jesus’ name. Amen.
