Something I wrote to someone else today. Take what you need.
Jesus loves us all, enough to STERNLY WARN us that Christianity is not a game.
People play around with Christianity, sinning, sending dirty jokes, looking at dirty pictures, raging, getting drunk, stealing,whoring around, watching all kinds of garbage on tv, the net, and movies, lusting after people, not loving or having sex with their spouse, and their spouse ONLY, lying all the time,
LYING and expecting God to just say, "Ok, no problem, trample my Son Jesus underfoot,
make a mockery of His death for YOUR SINS. Go ahead and LIE, some more.
Sin all you want, yeah, just sin and sin and sin, even though I've shown you the way around sin." This is the impression I get of A LOT of people in church now. They want easy believe-ism.
Here's some hard truths of the Bible, and I am posting this because
I honestly care:
3: But fornication, and all uncleanness, or covetousness, let it not be once named among you, as becometh saints;
4: Neither filthiness, nor foolish talking, nor jesting, which are not convenient: but rather giving of thanks.
(how many of you watch movies with dirty words, or look at photos, or read things that you would be ashamed to show to your pastor?)
: 5: For this ye know, that no whoremonger, nor unclean person, nor covetous man, who is an idolater, hath any inheritance in the kingdom of Christ and of God. (DO YOU COVET ANYTHING??)
6: Let no man deceive you with vain words:
for because of these things cometh the wrath of God upon the children of disobedience. (if a person does these things, over and over, they ARE a child of disobedience, even if they CLAIM they're a Christian! Shocking, isn't it? You can spot a Christian by their works, and words, and consistent walk with Jesus. CONSISTENT)
7: Be not ye therefore partakers with them.
8: For ye were sometimes darkness, but now are ye light in the Lord: walk as children of light:
9: (For the fruit of the Spirit is in all goodness and righteousness and truth;)
10: Proving what is acceptable unto the Lord.
Here's a verse that really agitates, angers, and shines a "too bright" light on a lot of "Christians" when another Christian actually practices it:
11: And have no fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness, but rather reprove them.
You know what REPROVE MEANS?
Here's the hardest part of the bible for people to agree with today:
CHRISTIANS ARE SUPPOSED TO REPROVE the unfruitful works of darkness.
Yes! We're supposed to do that! Every time we see it, and especially when we see a
brother or sister in Christ doing evil, such as: jesting, filthiness, foolish talking, whoring, covetousness, lying, telling dirty jokes, watching ungodly movies, skipping bible study, skipping prayer, drunkenness,
fornication......
To reprove means this:
Reprove means to : tell off, accuse, criticise, rebuke, haul over the coals
Get tough, Christians. Or admit you're NOT a Christian.
