The Sinking Ship

It is going to be an awesome Saturday. Sin is not only wrong doing, it is also a failure in right doing, failing to do good.  We cannot forget that goodness is a positive quality. It is not merely the absence of what is bad. We must do more than just hear. We must act. We must strive for goodness. As Christians striving for goodness should be on the forefront of our mind. A moment that is not spent in useful employment is an act of sin. Jesus tells us that condemnation at judgement will be passed out to those who do not do the good He asks of us. We know what God desires of us. We know what He wants us to do. We sin in doing that which we feel uncertain is appropriate before God. We sin in knowing what we should do and not doing it. Sin is much more than just staying away from the “big nasty” ones. The one talent man was called wicked for not acting. Be very careful that in knowing how little you do for the Lord that you are not willing to pretend to be doing more. That fruitlessness will develop into a false claim, and false claims into hypocrisy.  If you find your life lacking in the work of the Lord, simply do more. Do that which you know is good. Strive to do your best and give your all in doing good. Let doing good be on the forefront of you mind today.

“Therefore, to him who knows to do good and does not do it, to him it is sin.” James 4:17

“…for whatever is not from faith is sin.” Rom. 14:23

““Then he who had received the one talent came and said, ‘Lord, I knew you to be a hard man, reaping where you have not sown, and gathering where you have not scattered seed. And I was afraid, and went and hid your talent in the ground. Look, there you have what is yours.’ “But his lord answered and said to him, ‘You wicked and lazy servant, you knew that I reap where I have not sown, and gather where I have not scattered seed.”” Matt.25:24-26

Be active in doing what is good and holy! Keep working! :)

Gal. 1:3-5

Christians In War

We have the right and responsibility to protect our God given blessings. This is not done from hate, anger or wrath. We are to make sure to protect what God has blessed us with. We are to protect our families. We can be a soldier. We can use the “sword”. Carry protection for self-defense only. Know your surroundings. Keep your defensive item it its place. Take care of and protect your family. Soldiers keep soldiering and don’t abuse your power.   Always remember we are all bound by the same rulers. “And He said to them, “When I sent you without money bag, knapsack, and sandals, did you lack anything?” So they said, “Nothing.” Then He said to them, “But now, he who has a money bag, let him take it, and likewise a knapsack; and he who has no sword, let him sell his garment and buy one. For I say to you that this which is written must still be accomplished in Me: ‘And He was numbered with the transgressors.’ For the things concerning Me have an end.” So they said, “Lord, look,...

Family Light

Make sure your light is always shining no matter what your family is doing. “You are the salt of the earth; but if the salt loses its flavor, how shall it be seasoned? It is then good for nothing but to be thrown out and trampled underfoot by men.   “You are the light of the world. A city that is set on a hill cannot be hidden. Nor do they light a lamp and put it under a basket, but on a lampstand, and it gives light to all who are in the house. Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works and glorify your Father in heaven.” Matthew 5:13-16 NKJV

The Effects

Make sure you are taking into account eternity with every choice you make about fun and pleasure. We will all be held accountable. As a family, we want to cultivate an environment that continually produces good wholesome fun. “For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ, that each one may receive the things done in the body, according to what he has done, whether good or bad.” 1 Corinthians 5:10 NKJV
