GOOD REASON FOR EVIL?

Let me tell you something.

There is no good reason for you to become wicked. Why would someone make you wicked? 

Does a dog soar high in the sky like the eagle? 

Does a lion bark or does it roar? 

Can a dead man be tempted with sumptuous food? 

Did the devil not tempt Jesus first with “miracle bread” temptation after he had fasted and was hungry? Or you think the devil didn’t know what he was doing? 

We sin because we have the tendency from the old nature or flesh to sin, which is capitalized or accentuated by the temptation presented to us to sin. 

Some people overestimate their strength because they have not faced certain devils or been exposed to certain situations or left alone to fight certain battles with many enemies.

Some people claim that people made them wicked. Really? Evil overcame good? Darkness subdued light? Satan conquered Jes—no I can’t even complete it because it already sounds like blasphemy just in my thoughts alone. What! 

Instead of transmogrifying into a wicked person because of the wickedness of wicked men so as to deal wickedly with the wicked, the believer will ask and trust Christ for grace to overcome evil with good. 

Yes, it is better to walk than to be wicked. 

This is the wisdom of God as seen in Scripture. 

This is godly spiritual wisdom. 

It is not to be found in the world or with unbelievers. 

The unregenerate nature or heart does not have spiritual capacity for agape.

But not to worry, true and perfect judgment is coming!

DESTROY THIS TEMPLE

Image
  "Destroy this sanctuary, and in three days I will raise it up."   The words of the Lord Jesus to the dangerous and conniving religious leaders of His day who sought to kill Him and thus to silence the Truth of Yahweh (YHWH). He said this in reply to their demand for a miraculous sign in query of the authority He had to chase the money changers and merchandise sellers from the Temple just after He had cleared the Temple of these economic profiteering activities in the (falsely) religious space.  This same Christ who is the Truth gave His Word and Spirit of Truth to His Apostles who, as He had done, also bore witness to the Truth even with their lives and passed the same Truth down to the Church, which is the Body of Christ, who is the Only Head of His One Body. Selah. To be clear, we don't need to chase any religious merchant from their self-owned religious centres or overturn any tables. We only need to "bear witness to The Truth" and "earnestly contend f

WORSHIP!

Image
  What is Worship? Worship is reverential adoration and devotion. It is the deeply embedded heart attitude and habitual practice of holding highest regard, giving supreme adulation, paying unparalleled homage, rendering foremost service or according topmost dedication to someone or something.  Human beings were designed to worship. This means, we are all naturally wired to be devoted to something or someone we reckon or perceive to be most grandiose or to be the greatest Thing or Being worthy of our keenest attention, truest affection, deepest love and highest loyalty. Everyone has something or someone they hold very dear, adore, cherish and esteem highly.  Some people, in a sense, worship or idolize the god of money, their careers, favorite celebrities, body, health, parents, romantic relationship, favorite child, cherished food, dream house, expensive jewelry, exquisite properties, prized possessions or accumulated assets.  There is that inward default faculty of Man to give reverenc

SCRIPTURE IS INERRANT AND SUFFICIENT

Image
  The Holy Scripture is inerrant and sufficient. Inerrant simply means incapable of being wrong. Sufficient of course means enough or adequate. To deny the inerrancy of Scripture is to call into question and cast doubt on the God revealed in the Scripture, on Christ who died, rose and is coming back as Judge and King, and on man’s salvation from eternal damnation which is solely based on the Cross and Work of Christ, the Word of God.  Scripture is either true or the God of the Bible, who is the God of love and righteousness, mercy and justice, grace and truth, revealed by and in the Lord Jesus Christ as “Our Father who is in Heaven” is not real but a fable or figment of man's imagination.  The Bible is the absolute truth of God. Albeit misunderstood and misused by so many in the false profession and practice of Christian religion for inglorious purposes and transient benefits, the Bible is essentially about the Gospel of Christ, which is the power of God unto salvation to everyone
