To tell the Truth!

Romans 2:21-23 "You, then, who teach others, do you not teach yourself? You who preach against stealing, do you steal? You who say that people should not commit adultery, do you commit adultery? You who abhor idols, do you rob temples? You who brag about the law, do you dishonor God by breaking the law?"

This verse cuts quick to the heart as an all important reminder of how seriously the Lord holds those accountable to a higher standard who teach and preach His Word. He is Holy, and His Word is also Holy. We cannot separate God from His Word. For someone to say they honor God and yet make light of His Word by not keeping His Commandments is like a foolish person treading on thin ice trying to see how far they can get.

We live in a time where more and more preachers and teachers of God’s Word want to downplay the infallibility of God’s Holy Word in hopes of easing their consciences so they can continue in their self indulgences without being reminded of the consequences of their sins. But, God will not be mocked. And, the wages of sin is death.

Man would like to try and control his own life and his own destiny. But, our life is not our own. We have been bought by the Precious Blood of Jesus Christ. Our lives belong to Him.

We cannot take the words of the Creator and make them out to be like our own. Our words mean very little, yet His Words gave forth Life that still hold the Power of the entire Universe that they created long ago unto this very day.

For anyone to come along the path and preach or teach one thing and yet live another way is worse than a hypocrite: Jesus called them vipers, wicked and perverse, who were children of the devil.

That is why we must constantly remind ourselves to pick up our cross daily, and reckon the selfish desires of our hearts and greedy, covetous, and lustful thoughts dead that Christ might live in and through us giving Glory, Honor, and Power unto the Lord God Almighty.

May he reign within our hearts and minds through the Power of His Word, Amen!
