What the Bible says about Effeminate Men [podcast]
ALL FEMININE MEN WILL BE EXCLUDED FROM HEAVEN. THEY HAVE PERVERTED THE CREATIVE DESIGN, PURPOSE OF THEIR MAKER.
Invite the effeminate, the sodomites into the church? Well, if they attend, let them hear the pure, the raw Word of God which includes the call to absolute repentance. If they don’t repent, they must be turned over to Satan, removed (1 Corinthians 5). Regrettably perhaps less than 5% of church gatherings today are led by true men of God. Wolves abound just as was foretold (Matthew 7:15; 24:11; 2 Timothy 3:13; 1 John 4:1, etc.
If you attend a “church” that is not dealing with any form of fornication the Bible way – calling it out, calling it sin, requiring repentance, you are part of a an antichrist congregation. Run.
The body of Christ is commanded not even to associate with, to not even eat with any professing Christian who is a fornicator
“But now I have written unto you not to keep company, if any man that is called a brother be a fornicator, or covetous, or an idolater, or a railer, or a drunkard, or an extortioner; with such an one no not to eat. 12 For what have I to do to judge them also that are without? DO NOT YE JUDGE THEM THAT ARE WITHIN? 13 But them that are without God judgeth. Therefore put away from among yourselves that wicked person.” 1 Corinthians 5:11-13
HOW did the body of Christ deal with fornicators? Read 1 Corinthians 5. Knowledge up, Now! Know the Word. Pour over this chapter.
Jesus Christ is coming back for a bride that is “without spot, and blameless.” – “be diligent that ye may be found of him in peace, without spot, and blameless.”
Read and embrace Ephesians 5:25-27, 2 Peter 3:10-14, and Revelation 19:7-10.
“Know ye not that the unrighteous shall not inherit the kingdom of God? Be not deceived: neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor abusers of themselves with mankind (sodomites), 10 Nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners, shall inherit the kingdom of God.” 1 Corinthians 6:9-10
Effeminacy in Males Condemned – God Commands Men to Man-Up, to be Masculine
“Watch ye, stand fast in the faith, quit (act) you like men, be strong.” 1 Corinthians 16:13
A man who is “effeminate” is defined as a man who is acting like a woman. It is the perversion of the creative order of our Creator.
“Todd, You would not believe the interview that I had for a position at a church. They do NOT preach against sin! How grateful I am to have listened to one of your podcasts prior to my interview, and that I am rooted in Scripture. They said the scriptures on homosexuality were MISINTERPRETED! You would not believe how shocked I was! They have non-binary teen attendees. Talking about they want to welcome every one. Todd, they sounded like hippies! It has left me spiritually sick.” Jay
In communicating truth, if I use a word that sounds a bit over the edge, there’s a reason. The design is to perhaps embarrass. Sometimes we need to be embarrassed. There’s a place for it. Paul openly rebuked Peter publicly (Galatians 2). That wound worked to the glory of God. This is not to say that my method of communication is perfect. It’s certainly not and may our LORD correct my heart and life for His glory (Hebrews 12:5-6).
Men, MALES should speak with masculine voice, otherwise they mock the creation of God – “male and female created he them.” (Genesis 1:27). Beware of effeminate men. Satan puts them right in the middle of what is supposed to be the worship of the Almighty who told us He will damn every effeminate male to hell irrevocably (1 Corinthians 6:9-10). It’s sickening to see and hear them participating in the fake “worship” of today where their jeans are tighter than their theology. Satan in the midst of that which falsely claims to be Christ’s church. Beware.
Also, any person who is preventing their children from seeing, from interacting with their father, is under a curse (Malachi 4:6). If the dad doesn’t want to interact with and participate in his children’s lives, he shows his hell bound infidel state (1 Timothy 5:8).
Without exception, Christian men are strong, masculine, humble, meek, and tenderhearted. They dress like men, not women. They are never effeminate. Remove every image of any effeminate man from your children! Now.
It’s time for “old school” MEN to stand up and speak the truth. Such as “MEN CAN’T GET PREGNANT OR HAVE BABIES” ! Stand up and SPEAK, now. Fetus’ are babies and anyone agreeing with their murder is a demonic enemy of God with the blood of these innocent babies on their heands. Repent now and obey God. Speak His truth, His Word. Babies in the womb of their mother are a clump of cells and so are we. If it’s not a baby, why is growing, developing? Why are Satan’s children harvesting the organs if it’s not a baby?
JESUS CHRIST never has nor ever will “understand” or accept the abomination of homosexuality. Get a clue dupe. Repent now you filthy devil. ANY and ALL who condone homosexuality are an “abomination” to God (Leviticus 18:22).
If you don’t stand WITH God, you stand against Him.
The “abomination” of homosexuality is condemned of God. Shut your mouth and agree with God or suffer the vengeance of eternal fire, coward. Time to man up and get a spine. Leviticus 18:22 anyone? Read Romans 1 chump.
Scripture reveals that there’s no such thing sodomite or effeminate man who is a Christian (Leviticus 18:22; 1 Corinthians 6:9-10).
SIR, if you’ve truly repented and have been delivered from sodomy, WHY do you still wear an earring? Why would you still want to look like a woman? Effeminacy is soul damning sin (1 Corinthians 6:9-10).
— YOU won’t be arguing with the Almighty when you stand before Him – as His holy eyes and translucent light pierce to the core of your innermost being and all your sins are brought out. What HE says is sin – is sin! Best to repent now before it’s too late – and believe upon Jesus! Make Peace with God Now – Before it’s too Late
I don’t care what you say to and think of me…. my job from the LORD is to tell you His truth. If you don’t like His truth, your problem is with Him, not me. Best repent now and obey His Word before it’s too late. Your eternal soul is dangling by a spider thread over the flames of eternal damnation. Hell awaits.
PARENTS: NEVER allow your little boys to watch or listen to an effeminate man! Protect your children! God is watching and will judge.
Sodomy, effeminate men, and all homosexuality are an abomination to the LORD (Leviticus 18:22; 1 Corinthians 6:9).
There is a divine design and purpose in the distinction of roles. Each compliments the other and are never to cross over.

“Cry Aloud, Spare Not, Lift Up Thy Voice Like a Trumpet” [podcast]
“Cry aloud, spare not, lift up thy voice like a trumpet, and shew my people their transgression, and the house of Jacob their sins.” Isaiah 58:1
4 Commands here:
1. Cry aloud
2. Spare not
3. Lift up thy voice like a trumpet
4. Show my people their transgressions
Like today’s false leaders, in Isaiah’s day the priesthood of false prophets were backslidden by choice and therefore unable to offer even a faint bark to warn God’s people of coming judgment.
“His watchmen are blind: they are all ignorant, they are all dumb dogs, they cannot bark; sleeping, lying down, loving to slumber. 11 Yea, they are greedy dogs which can never have enough, and they are shepherds that cannot understand: they all look to their own way, every one for his gain, from his quarter. 12 Come ye, say they, I will fetch wine, and we will fill ourselves with strong drink; and to morrow shall be as this day, and much more abundant.” Isaiah 56:10-12
Today’s “pastors” are never heard calling men to repentance! This alone reveals they are totally false! Satan’s seminaries and fake news “bibles” have removed this essential command and word to “repent.”
Paul did 3 things to prepare Christ’s body to meet the LORD: PWT = Preach, WARN, Teach (Colossians 1:28). Any leader not warning against false teachers and false doctrine is 100% a false leader himself and part of the “conspiracy” of false prophets who oppose the LORD and will burn forever in the fires of hell. See Ezekiel 22:25-27.
The LORD never called anyone to produce a movie for people to know His……
Today we have a never-ending string of staged “revivals” coming at us. If sin, repentance, hell, and holiness aren’t being preached, what are they actually being won to? God has not and never will changed (Malachi 3:6). The Bible foretells a great falling away, not a revival (2 Thessalonians 2). And, especially with one where the leadership is promoting the abomination of sodomy openly (Leviticus 18:22)…. Dare we take the name of the LORD our God in vain and attach it to this abomination? I refuse personally.
The Bible is full of warnings from Genesis to Revelation. If you have a problem with warnings, you have a problem with God. Warning is for protection. If you don’t like warnings, you simply give away your Bible to someone who is an authentic, honest a truth seeker.
Give the devil no rest saints! Expose his agents! Ephesians 5:11
Christ’s apostle Paul warned God’s people day and night for 3 years with tears – in order to protect them from vile wolves operating within the professing body of Christ (Acts 20:27:32). What does that reveal about the devils we call pastors today who refuse to ever warn? -They are Satan’s agents (2 Corinthians 11:12-15).
WARNING IS WHAT JESUS AND HIS APOSTLES DID AND IS FOR YOUR PROTECTION. Yet if you refuse to yield to the LORD’s warnings via His Word and saints, you are walking right into destruction.
You want to see who the false preachers are among us? Here you go!
The man who isn’t warning isn’t loving and isn’t protecting Christ’s sheep. Run from such a devil for he is part of the antichrist “conspiracy” against Christ! (Ezekiel 22:25-27) Such a man is completely unlike Christ and His prophets and apostles who repeatedly warned of false prophets and their heresies!
Table-Flipping Savior! You going to call the Son of God unloving? Repent devil. Telling the truth to religious counterfeits, sin-darkened hearts, is as loving, as Christ-like as it could possibly be. Matthew 23 anyone?
ARE YOU preaching the absolute Gospel essential of repentance beloved of God? Jesus commanded that we do just that.
IF he’s not preaching repentance and remission of sins he’s a fraud! No excuse! “And that repentance and remission of sins should be preached in his name among all nations, beginning at Jerusalem.” (Luke 24:47)
“Preaching repentance for the remission of sin to the entire world is the last thing the Lord Jesus Christ commanded before He ascended into heaven.” Brian Craig
WHEN a man repents, all his sins are remitted! Removed!
False leaders today CODDLE men in sin instead of CALLING them out of it – so that they can be spared eternal judgment/damnation! Comforting people in their sin is the work of wolves (Jeremiah 23:17; Lamentation 2:14).
Was the message of the original Gospel always soft? Did Jesus and His holy apostles pander to the sinful sentiments and whims of sinful men? No! Read God’s Word for yourself as He commanded you to do – and cease now to be misled by the soft-peddling pansies of today’s apostate modern church world! Repent now. Follow Jesus! Then you won’t live by your sinful emotions but will rather be an authentic disciple of Jesus who loves His truth – NO MATTER WHO IT OFFENDS. But first it must offend YOU unto repentance – to drive you to real repentance and a real, a crucified walk with Jesus (Galatians 2:20). “Let God be true and EVERY man a liar.” (Romans 3:4) “You preach this Gospel JUST LIKE it’s written young man, you understand me!” | YOU Preach this Gospel Just Like it’s Written Son!
THOSE who don’t warn do not have God’s love and are suspect as hiding something! Jesus and His apostles WARNED.
WHOSE blood do you have on your hands for not warning them?
“So thou, O son of man, I have set thee a watchman unto the house of Israel; therefore thou shalt hear the word at my mouth, and warn them from me.” Ezekiel 33:7
The reason many condone the evil wolves posing as Christ’s ministers is that they do not know Jesus but are rather self-serving devils, full of self, refusing to repent for real.
True ministers of Christ, without fail, call men to Christ and out of sin – They call men to repent! (Isaiah 58:1; Ezekiel 18:30; 2 Corinthians 5:11, etc.)
THERE is nothing good in us except Christ. We are not featured but JESUS. “We preach CHRIST crucified.” (1 Corinthians 1:23) Our righteousnesses are as filthy rags and HE is the one and only righteous Redeemer whom we share (Isaiah 64:6; 1 Corinthians 9:16; Romans 7:18, etc).
Jesus’ true disciples are crucified vessels who preach with His authority, unlike the lame leaders we have today (Matthew 7:28-29). True Gospel preaching rocks the world of those who hear it – it never coddles people in their sin. That’s the work of wolves! Beware!
Most in “ministry” today are building their own empire, not Christ’s kingdom! Beware. Matthew 16:18; 1 Corinthians 1:29-2:5; 2 Corinthians 4:5; Philippians 3:18-19
GOD bless the truly God-fearing men who warn the flock of God as did Jesus and His apostles – in order to protect them. Moral coward counterfeits only warn when they are warning someone not to warn. Pitiful Pansies!
When Jesus preached the counterfeit religionists were made livid and scattered at the rebuke of His truth, spoken in divine authority (Matthew 7:28-29). Are you scattering the tares in your audience or are you coddling these rebels in their sin?
The Missing “R” in the Modern Gospel
Is it any wonder we seldom hear the word, the divine command to “repent” in the modern church world? These modern pansies we call pastors are blind guides who use new “bible” versions which are all corrupt. Here’s a sampling:
The NKJV removes “repent” 44 times
Matthew 9:13
KING JAMES BIBLE – “for I am not come to call the righteous, but sinners TO REPENTANCE.” Matthew 9:13
NASB – “For I did not come to call the righteous but sinners.” …“TO REPENTANCE” Removed!
NIV – “For I have not come to call the righeous but sinners.” …“TO REPENTANCE” Removed!
THE MESSAGE – “I’m after mercy, not religion. I’m here to invite outsiders, not coddle insiders.” …“TO REPENTANCE” Removed!
IF your preaching doesn’t include the divine command to REPENT, you are preaching another gospel – and are “accused.” (Galatians 1:6-9) Repent now! Oh and ditch the sissy “bible” (all new versions) which removed this essential command. Get a real Bible – King James Bible. More on Bible Versions Here.
Think about that and how few today are doing such! Wow! Any man not preaching that ALL men everywhere must repent, is an “accursed” false teacher! (galatians 1:6-9)
IS IT any wonder repentance is seldom heard? WHEN you realize that the “pastors” we have in the pulpits today are vatican trained by jesuit infiltrated seminaries which falsely promote the catholic “bibles” these pastors now read and get their message from. And, the people they preach to are reading those vatican “bibles” and so don’t know repentance is an essential, vital biblical doctrine. They have no excuse! King James Bible readers are much sharper, more astute Bible students due to reading the real, preserved Word of our God (Psalms 12:6-7).
John the Baptist Preached Repentance!
“And saying, Repent ye: for the kingdom of heaven is at hand.” Matthew 3:2
Jesus Preached Repentance!
“From that time Jesus began to preach, and to say, Repent: for the kingdom of heaven is at hand.” Matthew 4:17
Christ’s Apostle Peter Preached Repentance!
“Then Peter said unto them, Repent, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost.” Acts 2:38
“Repent ye therefore, and be converted, that your sins may be blotted out, when the times of refreshing shall come from the presence of the Lord;” Acts 3:19
The Apostle Paul Preached Repentance!
“And the times of this ignorance God winked at; but now commandeth all men every where to repent:” Acts 17:30
Repentance is not only essential initially but also on an ongoing basis.
Notice below as Paul writes to the Corinthian believers how he is concerned only about those among them who had not repented. The ones who had already repented were safe. This is a key kingdom truth saints. Let’s face it, we all have need to repent and confess sin on a regular basis, right? (1 John 1:6-2:2, etc.). Now watch this closely: Those who haven’t repented are the ones Paul’s concerned about-not the ones who’ve repented.
“And lest, when I come again, my God will humble me among you, and that I shall bewail many which have sinned already, and HAVE NOT REPENTED of the uncleanness and fornication and lasciviousness which they have committed.” 2 Corinthians 12:21
When there is no repentance, there is impending doom/wrath. When there is repentance, there is a complete clearing, refreshing, a removal of all sin to infinity!
“He hath not dealt with us after our sins; nor rewarded us according to our iniquities. 11 For as the heaven is high above the earth, so great is his mercy toward them that fear him. 12 As far as the east is from the west (infinity), so far hath he removed our transgressions from us.” Psalms 103:10-12
“If thou, Lord , shouldest mark iniquities, O Lord, who shall stand?” Psalms 130:3
When we repent, God refreshes!
“Repent ye therefore, and be converted, that your sins may be blotted out, when the times of refreshing shall come from the presence of the Lord;” Acts 3:19
The reason we see so many frustrated people who’ve been saved is in this verse above! Read it again and meditate on this beloved.
The fires of eternal damnation will forever feed upon the hopeless, helpless rebels who refuse to repent and “Bring forth therefore fruits meet (fitting) for repentance.” (Matthew 3:8) Any man who does not have the fruit of sound doctrine – PURE BIBLE – has not repented and is in ministry for some other reason than Christ’s glory! Run for your life!
“They say still unto them that despise me (those who live in sin), The LORD hath said, Ye shall have peace (promise rebels eternal security); and they say unto every one that walketh after the imagination of his own heart, No evil shall come upon you. 18 For who hath stood in the counsel of the LORD, and hath perceived and heard his word? who hath marked his word, and heard it?” Jeremiah 23:17-18
If you see a man who refuses to preach what the Bible says about sin and to preach the absolute necessity to repent, you are witnessing a wolf!
These are those Ezekiel shows us are part of the “conspiracy” of false leaders who are misrepresenting Christ by preaching another, any other message than the unchanging original Gospel and all of it’s doctrinal components!
“There is a conspiracy of her prophets (false leaders) in the midst thereof, like a roaring lion ravening the prey; they have devoured souls; they have taken the treasure and precious things; they have made her many widows in the midst thereof. 26 Her priests have violated my law, and have profaned mine holy things: they have put no difference between the holy and profane, neither have they shewed difference between the unclean and the clean, and have hid their eyes from my sabbaths, and I am profaned among them. 27 Her princes in the midst thereof are like wolves ravening the prey, to shed blood, and to destroy souls, to get dishonest gain.” Ezekiel 22:25-27

Unmarried and Desire a Godly Mate?
ATTN UNMARRIED DISCIPLE: A person who isn’t consumed with Christ does NOT qualify for you! Dare we waste the one life God gives us on earth married to an enemy of Christ?
Though there are other natural attractions, the primary attraction between unmarried Christians must be Christ!
The world has made it all about the 2-hour wedding, the average which costs tens of thousand$, and not about the relationship, the lifelong marriage.
SO you met someone who isn’t excited that you are saved? Not your mate!
ARE YOU UNMARRIED? – “Be ye not unequally yoked together with unbelievers: for what fellowship hath righteousness with unrighteousness? and what communion hath light with darkness?” (2 Corinthians 6:14)
IF you are truly born again, you are not looking for A mate who isn’t (2 Corinthians 6:14).
CANDIDATE FOR A MATE? THERE’S no way it’s going to work unless they are truly born again, Holy Spirit filled, and seeking Jesus daily! We waste our time vainly thinking that it could be God’s will to unite us with anything less than a full blown born again disciple who is presently serving Jesus daily. It’s not. Remember the LORD owns all souls, made and owns this whole planet, and has that one precious saint to unite you with. Saint of Christ, perhaps today, you may wish to pause, get before God in prayer, and ask HIM to bring you together with that one born again disciple of His for marriage – desiring to humbly serve and be a blessing to that mate, helping prayerfully to see God fulfill His perfect, fruitful will in their life! Ask Him to get your own house in order, to prepare you for the ROLE (male/female) He’s ordained you to fulfill in that marriage.
MARRY someone who appreciates and celebrates your life with Jesus! Equal yoking!
You are asking God to give you the gift of one of His true followers as your mate for this life, right? God knows we don’t want a lukewarm counterfeit, right? In light of this, please allow me to suggest that you make it clear up front when you meet someone. Recently I did just that. Here’s what I stated to a lady who professed to be a Christian soon after we met:
“I am praying for a wife who is first and foremost a truly God fearing born again disciple of Jesus.”
Get it out there saints. Use Bible words like “born again.” (John 3:3, 7) If they aren’t authentically in Christ, you don’t want them for a mate! Remember, you are praying and looking for that ONE special person! Praise God for eliminating counterfeits. | What it means to be born again.
The truly born again disciple of Jesus is learning to consent to the cross life. The LORD is preparing those of His who are learning the daily cross – for a successful marriage that glorifies Him. ABS = Always Be Serving. Lay down your life (Philippians 2).
“For the husband is the head of the wife, even as Christ is the head of the church: and he is the saviour of the body.” Ephesians 5:23
When a godly woman marries a man, she is trusting him to lead her and the family in the right ways of the LORD. Remember ladies, when you agree to marry a man, you are agreeing to submit to his headship. This is a non negotiable divine truth. Christ is the Head of the man and the man is the head of the woman.
“But I would have you know, that the head of every man is Christ; and the head of the woman is the man; and the head of Christ is God.” 1 Corinthians 11:3
ATTENTION UNMARRIED CHRISTIAN: KNOW exactly what you are looking for! Make no excuse for anyone! Never mind the “but but but he’s this or she’s that….” Refuse to prop someone up! Discern, look for their real fruit! Do they talk about Jesus? Are they learning God’s Word? Are they laying down their life daily, denying self to serve Jesus and others? (Matthew 22:37-40) If they aren’t truly born again, unashamed of and serving Jesus daily – RUN! If they don’t honor you as Jesus would have all Christians do, RUN! Otherwise, you are walking into a trap of un-expressible horror/proportions! Just ask another believer who has married a counterfeit!
The young woman who was the person God used to get me saved, stood firm in Christ. We were attracted to each other physically, but she wasted no time telling me (at that time still a sinner) that I needed to get saved or she would have no relationship with me. She knew this 2 Corinthians 6:14 verse well and lived it. She was physically stunning by the way and not about to sacrifice her life with Christ for any man, though she desired marriage ultimately.
IT DOES NOT matter how much you WANT/WISH someone is saved-that DOES NOT mean they are! fruit!
IF you are entertaining the thought of marrying someone who is not grounded soundly in God’s Word and love, you are walking into an unequal yoking trap and will suffer long for such.
IF someone doesn’t esteem and highly honor the work of Christ in you and your calling to humbly serve Him, they are not God’s gift/mate for you. It’s a closed door. Check out how Abigail addresses David who later became her husband. Read this closely, prayerfully.
If she/he’s not turned on by your life in Christ, he/she’s a counterfeit!
ARE you unmarried and praying for a godly mate for an equally yoked marriage? Amen. Try finding someone else in the same state and lift them up to the LORD in prayer. Give your life in prayer for other of Christ’s saints. Acts 20:35, amen?
The Abigail and David Example
Recently a brother in Christ told me about a Christian lady he is courting. He said: “She’s very sweet and very caring and she respects me. She honors me.”
Wow now this is the kind of godly person every unmarried Christian should pray for, right?
“(Abigail speaking to David) I pray thee, forgive the trespass of thine handmaid: for the LORD will certainly make my lord a sure house; because my lord fighteth the battles of the LORD, and evil hath not been found in thee all thy days. 29 Yet a man is risen to pursue thee, and to seek thy soul: but the soul of my lord shall be bound in the bundle of life with the LORD thy God; and the souls of thine enemies, them shall he sling out, as out of the middle of a sling. 30 And it shall come to pass, when the LORD shall have done to my lord according to all the good that he hath spoken concerning thee, and shall have appointed thee ruler over Israel; 31 That this shall be no grief unto thee, nor offence of heart unto my lord, either that thou hast shed blood causeless, or that my lord hath avenged himself: but when the LORD shall have dealt well with my lord, then remember thine handmaid.” 1 Samuel 25:28-31
David’s response to Abigail was equally as godly and endearing:
“And David said to Abigail, Blessed be the LORD God of Israel, which sent thee this day to meet me: 33 And blessed be thy advice, and blessed be thou, which hast kept me this day from coming to shed blood, and from avenging myself with mine own hand. 34 For in very deed, as the LORD God of Israel liveth, which hath kept me back from hurting thee, except thou hadst hasted and come to meet me, surely there had not been left unto Nabal by the morning light any that pisseth against the wall. 35 So David received of her hand that which she had brought him, and said unto her, Go up in peace to thine house; see, I have hearkened to thy voice, and have accepted thy person.” 1 Samuel 25:32-35
When Nabal, her first husband died, David sent for Abigail to be his wife. Her response was fabulously godly:
And when the servants of David were come to Abigail to Carmel, they spake unto her, saying, David sent us unto thee, to take thee to him to wife. 41 And she arose, and bowed herself on her face to the earth, and said, Behold, let thine handmaid be a servant to wash the feet of the servants of my lord. 42 And Abigail hasted, and arose, and rode upon an ass, with five damsels of hers that went after her; and she went after the messengers of David, and became his wife.” 1 Samuel 25:40-42
Dear Unmarried Christian: ARE YOU praying and looking for someone who is rich this fleeting world? Or, are you truly Christ’s and therefore sanctified and looking for someone who is rich in Christ, in faith, in humility, and in the Scriptures?
Is your view of success God’s? What do the Scriptures teach? So very many unmarried people looking for someone who is successful in this world instead of a successful, cross-bearing disciple of Christ. Ungodly, Carnal, Self-serving, Horrible marriage coming for those who choose unwisely-outside of the truth of Scripture. Are you looking for a true disciple or someone who loves this present, fleeting world and is therefore the enemy of Christ? (Luke 16:15; James 4:4; 1 John 2:15-17)
IF you are making excuses for someone’s rebellion instead of honestly assessing the situation, that’s going to come back to haunt you! FRUIT! (Matthew 3:7-10; 7:16, 20)
It’s REAL SIMPLE: When a person is right with God: They live to serve God and others, not self! (Matthew 22:37-40)
The LORD was using her and she invited me to a tent meeting where for the first time in my life, I heard the Gospel of the grace of God in Christ Jesus and was saved.
CLUE for the unmarried: If 2 people aren’t FINDING ways to be together, that’s a closed door.
If you are unmarried and desire a mate, step back and evaluate whether or not the person or people you may be considering are truly and genuinely born again.
Recently, a sister in Christ who desires to be married asked me what she should be looking for in a man. She said she has had several relationships with men who claim to be Christians, but the fruit of their daily lives did not testify to a relationship with Christ. I told her that if a man is not first born again, confessing Jesus, engaging in a life of prayer with Jesus, and in the Word of God daily, he is not a true disciple and not a candidate for a God-fearing woman.
What are you doing to demonstrate to Christ that you are prepared to serve your mate in marriage? The cross – where we are serving Jesus and others, not self – is the only way a godly, good relationship can happen. Is the cross in your personal life and therefore your relationships? The Daily Cross
The LORD MUST be First, Not Your Mate!
God is Jealous! (Exodus 34:14) He will not be second to anyone but MUST be your “FIRST love” – first priority in all things (Revelation 2:4-5). It’s only out of the life that is truly loving, worshipping, obeying God that HIS divine love will flow and make marriage ultimate! The cross!
Jeni Marie Lorance writes:
“But we must beware of the tendency to begin to love our spouse more than our God. Then it becomes a curse. No one comes before GOD.
There was a time I desired so much a spouse. The Lord told me, “You want him so badly…but I want you and your ignoring me.”
Let that NEVER be said of me again.
Now I say, “Lord, I’d rather live single and do your will and be passionately in love with YOU. ”
And I mean it. (And God knows I mean it)
It’s better to be in love with God and have no one than to be on love with someone else and our relationship with God suffer.
But of course you can have both thriving.”
