Stone Casting Qualifications

Jesus never called the woman taken in adultery (John 8) or the woman who had had 5 husbands and was now living with another man, a whore (John 4). Jesus was not harsh with either of them. What does this say for some of these hate-mongering, arrogant, pharisaical, enraged, embattled, need-to-get-saved street preachers so prevalent today who openly call scantily clad women whores instead of winning them as Jesus did? Perhaps it’s the lust in their own hearts driving them? (Romans 2:1-3) We never see Christ needlessly provoking, condemning, screaming at, or yelling at lost sinners. WHERE did Jesus or any of His apostles possess such a hate-filled attitude other than when Jesus rebuked them in their younger years for seeking to call down fire from Heaven? Christ rebuked them with “Ye know not what manner of spirit ye are of.” (Luke 9:54-55)

Have you paid close attention to whom Jesus harshly rebuked? As you read the Gospels, notice that the rich and the religious (self-righteous) were who Christ rebuked (Matthew 23, etc.).

To the Pharisees of His day, Christ said:

“He that is without sin among you, let him first cast a stone at her.” John 8:7

Do YOU qualify to cast a stone?

To the woman freshly taken from an adulterous, sinful activity and to all who are sincerely repentant today, Jesus says:

“Woman, where are those thine accusers? hath no man condemned thee? 11 She said, No man, Lord. And Jesus said unto her, Neither do I condemn thee: go, and sin no more.” John 8:10-11

Notice that FIRST came forgiveness/salvation, then came the command to live holy – “Go, and sin no more.” In this Jesus was not saying “Don’t you EVER sin again.” No, He was informing her that she had no need to ever sin again. 1 John 1:9 was later written. Lamentations 3:22-23 never went away and neither did Psalms 103:10-12 and all the other glorious promises of God to those who fall.

And there were many “whoremongers” there that Jesus exposed and convicted of their own sins (Jn. 8:9-11; Rev. 21:8, 27). Those were the un-repentant stone-casting religious devils Jesus sent away with their tails between their legs – un-forgiven.

What about Christ’s words to the self-righteous religionists in Matthew 21:31- “Verily I say unto you, That the publicans and the harlots go into the kingdom of God before you.” This means that rank sinners and “harlots” (prostitutes, adulterous people) will go to Heaven before the self-righteous, condemning religionists.

So you have found out that a brother or sister sinned? Okay, so what if we find out what sins you committed? … “And above all things have fervent charity among yourselves: for charity shall cover the multitude of sins.” 1 Peter 4:8

We have ALL been spiritual whores or committed spiritual adultery having alienated the affections of our hearts away from our LORD and “first love” (Rev. 2:4-5) … “Thou shalt have no other gods before me.”(Exod. 20:3) …. At once we should drop the stones of condemnation, realizing our own great and PRESENT need for the mercy of God, and reach out to restore others. The LORD will then be able to use us but not before. In fact, we are heaping condemnation upon our own heads if we issue forth “judgment without mercy.” (James 2:13)

According to the Son of God, the definition of a hypocrite is one who stands in judgment of others while he himself has sin in his own life he hasn’t dealt with in repentance before a holy God (Matthew 7:1-5). Such a man is heaping undiluted judgment upon his own pate (James 2:13).

The LORD is not impressed with our missionary work, STREET PREACHING, choir singing, pulpit expository, or any other vain work done without being consumed in His love. Read 1 Corinthians 13 today friends.

Memorize this:

“For the wrath of man worketh not the righteousness of God.” James 1:20

In all our learning, we had better learn that God is merciful and if he wasn’t, we would both already and forever be trapped in hell (Psalms 103:10). We do not understand the first thing about Christ or Christianity if we are not living in the revelation of how very merciful He has been to US.

Yes, all who die in sin – including fornication or adultery of any kind (even in the heart) – will spend eternity in the lake of fire (Rev. 21:8, 27). God will judge them and using God’s Word and love, they must be warned by His body … “The Spirit and the bride say Come.” (Rev. 22:17)

An important biblical component for me is to forgive others and speak and communicate with love and mercy to them. I have my own deep, infinite, utter, and present need for the saving grace and mercy of God. God surely will redeem, forgive, restore, and show His blessed mercy to all who fear and obey Him in repentance (returning) to Him. Psalms 103:2-3, 11 says “Bless the LORD, O my soul, and forget not all his benefits: Who forgiveth all thine iniquities; who healeth all thy diseases … For as the heaven is high above the earth, so great is his mercy toward THEM THAT FEAR HIM.” Did you catch the condition for receiving the divine benefit of forgiveness, healing, and mercy? – “them that fear him.” (v11)

Those who wrongly condemn others in their heart attitudes, do not fear God.

If you need mercy – and you certainly do – God requires that you show it to others in order to initially receive and to continue to receive it from Him.

God told us to WIN the lost and not to alienate them – “He that WINNETH souls is wise.” (Proverbs 11:30) Pray this now as you read these words: LORD, please break us today and grant us Thy wisdom, being ever so mindful of what GREAT mercy You have shown our sinful souls!

It is obvious that no matter how perfectly we administer the mercy and truth of Jesus Christ, that some are going to reject Him and us. Yet, we should never do anything in the flesh to intentionally alienate those trapped in the dismal darkness of sin. God never commissioned us to spurn others out of our own hateful hearts.

It is a very important thing and exercise to get it out in the open that you have no righteousness at all outside of that which you are clothed with by Jesus Christ (Isaiah 64:6; Jeremiah 17:9; Philippians 3:9, etc.). Praying Titus 3:5-6 aloud every morning diminishes and obliterates self-righteousness by continually establishing just why you are saved today – “according to his mercy.”

“Not by works of righteousness which we have done, but according to his mercy he saved us, by the washing of regeneration, and renewing of the Holy Ghost; 6 Which he shed on us abundantly through Jesus Christ our Saviour.” Titus 3:5-6

Below is the testimony of a forgiven, transformed, minister of God’s truth:

“I have learned that it is the goodness and kindness of God that leads many to repentance. I was once a man who “preached AT” people with very little true love for their souls. God allowed me to be broken and I was knocked off my “high horse.” Now my views on STREET PREACHING remain the same, (it is necessary) but now instead of “preaching AT” people, The LORD has instilled the desire to preach “TO” them, knowing that they are in need of the savior – no less that I am! His compassion compels this disciple to at times plead, to reason with people instead of “yelling” at them. The message remains powerful and is not watered down, but the power available when “Love” is the motivation is greater.” Kevin Woltkamp

The LORD will allow us – if we are full of self-righteousness and arrogant pride – to fall and He will reveal to us our own infinite need for His ongoing, present mercy and bring us to truly be “poor in spirit” so that we will see His eternal kingdom and help others in the same (Matt. 5:3).

Some among us have “forgotten that he was purged from his old sins.”

“But he that lacketh these things is blind, and cannot see afar off, and hath forgotten that he was purged from his old sins.” 2 Peter 1:9

“And the servant of the Lord must not strive; but be gentle unto all men, apt to teach, patient, 25 In meekness instructing those that oppose themselves; if God peradventure will give them repentance to the acknowledging of the truth; 26 And that they may recover themselves out of the snare of the devil, who are taken captive by him at his will.” 2 Timothy 2:24-26

Let’s let God speak for Himself by simply preaching HIS Words and ceasing to speak our own words and condemnations. The unchanging LORD instructed His servant Ezekiel to “speak with MY words unto them.” (Ezek. 3:4)

All men have sinned and are already condemned of the LORD who is “Holy, holy, holy,” and yet, He came to this earth for the express and divine purpose of rescuing them – not condemning them. If they refuse to repent and receive Christ, they will spend eternity in the lake of fire (Rev. 20:11-15). As those whom the Great Physician has healed, we must with grateful and contrite hearts reach out by inviting others to repent and be saved … “The Spirit and the bride say Come.” (Rev. 22:17)

“Thank you for posting this one! So many women who need God are always being pushed away further and further because of the status people have given them. When really, all they need is love and security! Thank you so much for this! You’ve led me to some wonderful, living water so that I may feed my thirsty soul. I really do appreciate it! This website (SafeGuardYourSoul.com) is one of the best I’ve ever seen!” Susan D.

“I remember some ‘street preachers’ and I use that term very loosely who went to a satanist church to ‘witness’ by yelling “God hates you” at them over and over…but thinking they did God a service-meanwhile made a mockery of Christianity. That is evangelism?” Laurie C.

“I have seen what you’re saying. Many of these street preachers are in the flesh. They are not being led by the Spirit and they are cruel and discriminating. You know, like they did in Michigan with the pigs head. They still have not repented of that. In fact, people actually worship the person that was doing that pig head. It is unfit and is not the Gospel of Jesus Christ. It’s not being led by the Spirit and therefore fruit is not being born for Christ’s glory. The Father says if you don’t bear fruit you will be cut down. You will get thrown into the fire. Nothing like a healthy fear of the Lord, the beginning of wisdom, Amen.” Lawrence J.

Exhort One Another Daily [podcast]

“But exhort one another daily, while it is called To day; lest any of you be hardened through the deceitfulness of sin.” Hebrews 3:13

“Let us draw near with a true heart in full assurance of faith, having our hearts sprinkled from an evil conscience, and our bodies washed with pure water. ²³Let us hold fast the profession of our faith without wavering; (for he is faithful that promised;) ²⁴And let us consider one another to provoke unto love and to good works: ²⁵Not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together, as the manner of some is; but exhorting one another: and so much the more, as ye see the day approaching.” Hebrews 10:22-25

Saints, let’s always remember that other disciples have the SAME exact iniquitous flesh to deal with daily as we do (Genesis 6:5, 12; Jeremiah 17:9; Romans 3, etc.). They are just like us – absolutely wicked and depraved without the present working of the saving grace of our God at work in us! (Romans 7) Each of Christ’s followers are like us, working out their own salvation with fear and trembling as the LORD works in them both to will and to do of His good pleasure (Philippians 2:12-13).

“We then that are strong ought to bear the infirmities of the weak, and not to please ourselves.” Romans 15:1

“Brethren, if a man be overtaken in a fault, ye which are spiritual, restore such an one in the spirit of meekness; considering thyself, lest thou also be tempted. 2 Bear ye one another’s burdens, and so fulfil the law of Christ.” Galatians 6:1-2

Let’s lift up our LORD’s disciples instead of wrongly judging them in our attitudes, etc. Seeing and treating them with God’s love is important ( 1 Peter 4:7-8; 1 John 4:7-8, 16-18; 5:1, etc.).

“And oppress not the widow, nor the fatherless, the stranger, nor the poor; and let none of you imagine evil against his brother in your heart.” Zechariah 7:10

“Let us therefore follow after the things which make for peace, and things wherewith one may edify another.” Romans 14:19

“Wherefore comfort yourselves together, and edify one another, even as also ye do.” 1 Thessalonians 5:11

DOES the Bible tell us to “Go make disciples” OR to “Teach others God’s Word”? Interesting. Does the Bible Ever Say “Go Make Disciples”?

Neither Give Place to the Devil! [podcast]

“Neither give place to the devil.” Ephesians 4:27 “This is a really good message!” CB — MANY have been blinded and duped to believe that either 1) there is no devil, or 2) there is a devil but he’s not active. But God’s Word tells us that Satan, the archenemy of Christ and mankind, is active and has an organized kingdom structure: “For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.” (Ephesians 6:12) Warning: “Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil, as […]

Fulfilling Your Calling [podcast]

MINISTRY which pleases God is simply helping people know and grow in Christ for themselves – by the cross life and getting into HIS Word for themselves so they can follow HIM, not you! True ministry fosters in the hearers faith in God, not the preacher or local church organization! Read 1 Corinthians 2:1-5; 2 Corinthians 1:9; 3:5; 4:5. Your communications and ministry are fed and fueled by your personal daily study and knowledge of God’s Word (Proverbs 22:17-21; 2 Timothy 2:15). Ephesians 4:1-14 “I therefore, the prisoner of the Lord, beseech you that ye walk worthy of the vocation […]

“Shall I not visit for these things?” [podcast]

Widespread Corruption – Evidence of God’s Judgment on a Nation

IMPORTANT: Read Matthew 24 and Luke 21 this week. Jesus foretold this would all be happening right before He returns! Jesus is coming. Get ready.

A cursory introduction to Jeremiah 5-7. God’s people were in rebellion to Him and reaping what they’d been sowing (Galatians 6:7-8). Read, pour prayerfully over these chapters this week beloved. This message is designed to launch the God fearing saint to pour over this passage as they examine their hearts, their lives before Him honestly.

“Your iniquities have turned away these things, and your sins have withholden good things from you. 26 For among my people are found wicked men: they lay wait, as he that setteth snares; they set a trap, they catch men. 27 As a cage is full of birds, so are their houses full of deceit: therefore they are become great, and waxen rich. 28 They are waxen fat, they shine: yea, they overpass the deeds of the wicked: they judge not the cause, the cause of the fatherless, yet they prosper; and the right of the needy do they not judge. 29 Shall I not visit for these things? saith the LORD: shall not my soul be avenged on such a nation as this? 30 A wonderful and horrible thing is committed in the land; 31 The prophets prophesy falsely, and the priests bear rule by their means; and my people love to have it so: and what will ye do in the end thereof?” Jeremiah 5:25-31

Judgment on America for the Rebellion of those who Falsely Claim to be Saved

“And when he had opened the fifth seal, I saw under the altar the souls of them that were slain for the word of God, and for the testimony which they held: 10 And they cried with a loud voice, saying, How long, O Lord, holy and true, dost thou not judge and avenge our blood on them that dwell on the earth?” Revelation 6:9-10

The LORD blesses those who are with Him. Anyone who forsakes Him will be forsaken by Him.

“The LORD is with you, while ye be with him; and IF ye seek him, he will be found of you; but IF ye forsake him, he will forsake you.” 2 Chronicles 15:2

The word “if” in God’s Word denotes a choice that will be made.

The LORD is not with you if you are not with Him – doing life on HIS stated terms. That’s exactly why He gave you His recorded Word in tangible form. Read John 14-16.

Notice “IF ye seek him” and not if you go to church or just claim to be His. Are you seeking His holy face “continually”?

“Seek the LORD and his strength, seek his face continually.” 1 Chronicles 16:11

“Therefore also now, saith the LORD, turn ye even to me with all your heart, and with fasting, and with weeping, and with mourning: 13 And rend your heart, and not your garments, and turn unto the LORD your God: for he is gracious and merciful, slow to anger, and of great kindness, and repenteth him of the evil.” Joel 2:12-13

“O Israel, return unto the LORD thy God; for thou hast fallen by thine iniquity. 2 Take with you words, and turn to the LORD: say unto him, Take away all iniquity, and receive us graciously: so will we render the calves of our lips.” Hosea 14:1-2

Notice here in the verse below how setting, allowing wicked things into our eye gates leads to turning aside, departing from Christ, backsliding. Notice how the psalmist views backsliding as a plague. And it sure is. Millions irrevocably occupy the bowels of eternal damnation right this moment and forever who made one bad decision which led to their backsliding. It’s time to read God as if our eternal souls depended on it – because they do. safeguardyoursoul.com

“I will set no wicked thing before mine eyes: I hate the work of them that turn aside; it shall not cleave to me.” Psalms 101:3

PRAYER: Heavenly Father, please break me, make me to be poor in spirit and pure in heart. In Jesus’ name, amen.

Judgment to Come [podcast]

The original Gospel prominently includes the judgment of hell coming to every person who dies in sin (Mark 9:43-49, etc.). EVERY preacher not preaching hell is a false prophet who is preaching “another gospel” and is “accursed” (Galatians 1:6-9). Jesus and His holy apostles taught it and there’s no excuse for not doing the same. Repent now. We must understand that God is severe in His judgment of rebels of which there are “many” who claim they are saved. Eternal damnation awaits all rebels (Matthew 7:13-23, etc.). “Behold therefore the goodness and severity of God: on them which fell, severity; but […]

Judgment is Coming on the Whole Earth [podcast]

DIVINE JUDGMENT IS NOT GOING AWAY JUST BECAUSE YOU OR SOME FAKE PREACHER IGNORES IT!!! Jesus Christ is Creator and LORD. He’s Large and in Charge “The earth is the LORD’S, and the fulness thereof; the world, and they that dwell therein.” Psalms 24:1 The LORD owns this house, this earth and is returning to take His rightful authority over it. Nothing can stop it! Anyone who isn’t in agreement with and in obedience to the Son of God will be crushed by Him – crushed under the power and weight of His holy justice. “Serve the LORD with fear, and […]

Abiding

Tried. Trusted. Blessed. [podcast]

CAN God Trust You?

WHO is God going to bless? WHO is going to “abound with blessings”?

“A faithful man shall abound with blessings: but he that maketh haste to be rich shall not be innocent.” Proverbs 28:20

Beloved of God, let us always remember that God only rewards and promotes those who are faithful right where they are with whatever they have in their possession to use for His glory. This is the truth we see throughout Holy Scripture, including in Jesus’ parable of the talents in Matthew 25. May God bless each of us to serve Him by serving others—right where we are, right now, with whatever we have—taking no thought for tomorrow but rather trusting Him to provide all (Matthew 6:33-34).

Christ’s Parable of the Talents: What is our LORD Teaching us here?

Trustworthy Faithful ABRAHAM—Faithfulness

“Always remember that God is looking to see if we will be faithful in the small things before He puts us in charge of much.” Frank Telford

Read Hebrews 11 this weekend. See what the heroes of the faith endured and yet remained faithful to the LORD. God remains faithful, even when men do not remain faithful to Him. Yet He’s faithful to Himself — not to those who deny Him. “He cannot deny himself” and yet He will deny those who deny Him the place of reigning in their personal lives (Revelation 2:4-5).

“It is a faithful saying: For if we be dead with him, we shall also live with him: 1 If we suffer, we shall also reign with him: if we deny him, he also will deny us: 13 If we believe not, yet he abideth faithful: he cannot deny himself.” 2 Timothy 2:11-13

The lives of the patriarchs and apostles make it clear that none of us could possibly come to know and to trust the LORD deeply until we walk with Him, love, worship, serve, and obey Him by faith as He leads us through this life—through seasons of thick and thin, little and much. Faith is forged in fiery trials and not in fairy tales of false faith by those who recline on fancy furniture instead of fighting ferocious foes. Jesus Christ is KING—and we can’t know Him closely until we begin to suffer with Him.

“The goodness of God! Wow! Love it! I have never seen Gods goodness more than I have in the last few months! It makes me cry whenever I realize all He has done for me. I have been blessed beyond measure. I am so blown away that God has met me in the deep valleys.” Karen Cochran

“Who are kept by the power of God through faith unto salvation ready to be revealed in the last time. 6 Wherein ye greatly rejoice, though now for a season, if need be, ye are in heaviness through manifold temptations: 7 That the trial of your faith, being much more precious than of gold that perisheth, though it be tried with fire, might be found unto praise and honour and glory at the appearing of Jesus Christ: 8 Whom having not seen, ye love; in whom, though now ye see him not, yet believing, ye rejoice with joy unspeakable and full of glory: 9 Receiving the end of your faith, even the salvation of your souls.” 1 Peter 1:5-9

Might you choose to pray as did the apostles? – “Increase our faith” (Luke 17:5).

Not only should we ask God to “Increase our faith” but also to teach us to be faithful to Him. God will bless those who are faithful to Him—those who are loyal and serve Him obediently through thick or thin, in riches or poverty, through sunshine or rain.

WHERE are God’s eyes and blessings focused?

“Mine eyes shall be upon the faithful of the land, that they may dwell with me: he that walketh in a perfect way, he shall serve me.” Psalms 101:6

Does this verse above remind us of the words of 2 Chronicles 16:9?

WHO wants God’s gaze, gifts, and blessings upon them?

I do!

“For the eyes of the LORD run to and fro throughout the whole earth, to shew himself strong in the behalf of them whose heart is perfect toward him.” 2 Chronicles 16:9

Are you presently blessable beloved of God?

The LORD could trust Abraham. Can He trust us? Can the LORD trust me? Am I faithful to Him?

Even before God tested Abraham to see if he would offer his only and promised son, the LORD says this of Abraham:

“For I know him, that he will command his children and his household after him, and they shall keep the way of the LORD, to do justice and judgment; that the LORD may bring upon Abraham that which he hath spoken of him.” Genesis 18:19

Of the heroes of the faith who’ve gone before us, God’s testimony of them is that they “confessed that they were strangers and pilgrims on the earth.” Remember beloved of God, like them, we are passing THROUGH this life on earth. We are not here to stay.

“These all died in faith, not having received the promises, but having seen them afar off, and were persuaded of them, and embraced them, and confessed that they were strangers and pilgrims on the earth. 14 For they that say such things declare plainly that they seek a country. 15 And truly, if they had been mindful of that country from whence they came out, they might have had opportunity to have returned. 16 But now they desire a better country (heavenly New Jerusalem), that is, an heavenly: wherefore God is not ashamed to be called their God: for he hath prepared for them a city.” Hebrews 11:13-16

Abraham’s willingness to offer his beloved son Isaac as a sacrifice to God is a type, a foreshadowing of the Father offering up Christ to be crucified, buried, and raised again to pay the ultimate redemption price for the sins of mankind (Genesis 22).

“By faith Abraham, when he was tried (tested), offered up Isaac: and he that had received the promises offered up his only begotten son,” Hebrews 11:17

Investing in Christ’s eternal kingdom while on earth. This is what Jesus instructed us to do.

“Lay not up for yourselves treasures upon earth, where moth and rust doth corrupt, and where thieves break through and steal: 20 But lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust doth corrupt, and where thieves do not break through nor steal: 21 For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also.” Matthew 6:19-21

“God commands obedience first and foremost! Abraham obeyed the Lord God’s call on his life when he was told to go and leave the country he was in and leave all behind for a destination unknown. He had to completely follow and depend on the Lord. A test of his faith. We know he did obey the word of the Lord, packed up his family and left all behind for a land unknown to him. Genesis 12.” Karen Cochran

The LORD is always faithful. He has never failed one of His children, ever. Dare we stop here to reminisce how He found and saved us?

Liza Young writes: “At first, life seems to be at a dead end, then we make our way to the SAVIOR, realizing we dare not go forward without the assurance of HIS presence. As we completely trust in HIM, HE helps us face the future by walking with us each step of the way. GOD ‘S wonderful promise in Isaiah 41:10.”

Heavenly Father, please grant Your people to have clean, clear, pure hearts and consciences. Right this moment, I re-turn to You now, afresh dear LORD—bringing words of repentance and confession of all and any sin. In Jesus’ name, amen.

Fresh Start with God

“But whoso looketh into the perfect law of liberty, and continueth therein, he being not a forgetful hearer, but a doer of the work, this man shall be blessed in his deed.” James 1:25

Get saved.

Continue. Abide. Or perish (John 15:1-6).

“And if it seem evil unto you to serve the LORD, choose you this day whom ye will serve; whether the gods which your fathers served that were on the other side of the flood, or the gods of the Amorites, in whose land ye dwell: but as for me and my house, we will serve the LORD. Joshua 24:15

Are We Blessable?

Or, are we…..

out of Bible order

and

out of Bible blessings?

God will bless no man who doesn’t love Him enough to obey Him.

God doesn’t need us.

We need God.

God’s Testimony of Abraham

WE CAN TRUST GOD BUT CAN GOD TRUST US? The LORD could trust Abraham, our example of faith (Romans 4). Can He trust you? Are you trustworthy? What do you do when no man is looking? God sees all, right?

“And the LORD said, Shall I hide from Abraham that thing which I do; 18 Seeing that Abraham shall surely become a great and mighty nation, and all the nations of the earth shall be blessed in him? 19 For I know him, that he will command his children and his household after him, and they shall keep the way of the LORD, to do justice and judgment; that the LORD may bring upon Abraham that which he hath spoken of him.” Genesis 18:17-19

What did God know about Abraham? Shall we review?

There are conditions to receiving God’s blessings. One must meet those conditions to walk in God’s blessings. The LORD reveals to us here that He is going to bring His full blessings on Abraham because He could trust Abraham to trust Him and obey Him. Note that God could trust Abraham because Abraham was obedient to Him and also notice that the promises the LORD made to Abraham were contingent upon Abraham continuing to obey the God. They were conditional.

“And we desire that every one of you do shew the same diligence to the full assurance of hope unto the end: 12 That ye be not slothful, but followers of them who through faith and patience inherit the promises.” Hebrews 6:11-12

“He becometh poor that dealeth with a slack hand: but the hand of the diligent maketh rich“ (Proverbs 10:4). If you will be rich you must diligently seek the LORD…

“But without faith it is impossible to please him: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him.” Hebrews 11:6

Who is Going to be Blessed?

“A FAITHFUL MAN shall abound with blessings: but he that maketh haste to be rich shall not be innocent.” Proverbs 28:20

PRAYER: Heavenly Father, please unite my heart to fear Thy name, to number my short days upon the earth, and to bless my life to be fruitful for Your eternal glory this day, in the name of Jesus Christ. Amen.

Faithfulness to God

PARABLE OF THE TALENTS [podcast]

The Eternal Consequence of Obedience vs Neglect A parable is an earthy story with a heavenly meaning. Jesus’ parable of the talents is a teaching and severe warning of stewardship and the eternal consequences of obeying or disobeying God in the matter of our handling of His resources in this fleeting life. “And they that use this world, as not abusing it: for the fashion of this world passeth away.” 1 Corinthians 7:31 It is said that of the 38 parables Jesus taught, 16 of them involve stewardship.
