The Kisses of an Enemy are Deceitful [podcast]

Even false teachers are to be rebuked “sharply” in order that they might be blessed to repent and “that they may be sound in the faith.”

“This witness is true. Wherefore rebuke them sharply, that they may be sound in the faith.” Titus 1:13

Rebuke is always for the purpose of restoration – to prevent eternal condemnation! If we examine and judge ourselves, submitting afresh to the LORD daily in repentance, He will not be forced to send a Nathan in our lives with an open rebuke (1 Corinthians 11:31-32; 2 Corinthians 13:5). See 2 Samuel 11-12. | The God of Restoration!

“Open rebuke is better than secret love. 6 Faithful are the wounds of a friend; but the kisses of an enemy are deceitful.” Proverbs 27:5-6

• “Open rebuke is better than secret love”
• “Faithful are the wounds of a friend”
• “the kisses of an enemy are deceitful” 

“A man hath joy by the answer of his mouth: and a word spoken in due season, how good is it!” Proverbs 15:23

The words we speak in due season, timely words flowing from a heart God is filling with His love, are going to produce the divinely ordained results (Isaiah 55:11).

“But speaking the truth in love, may grow up into him in all things, which is the head, even Christ:” Ephesians 4:15

“If any man speak, let him speak as the oracles (written Word) of God.” 1 Peter 4:11

WALKING IN GOD’S LOVE CAN NEVER BE SEPARATED FROM WALKING IN GOD’S TRUTH! THEY ARE DIVINELY, ETERNALLY MARRIED! DON’T YOU DARE CLAIM TO BE WALKING IN GOD’S LOVE IF YOU ARE NOT SPEAKING GOD’S TRUTH (EPHESIANS 4:15; PROVERBS 12:17; 27:5-6).

Speaking His Truth in Love [podcast]

  “But speaking the truth in love, may grow up into him in all things, which is the head, even Christ:” Ephesians 4:15 Growing up in Christ involves and leads to His children “speaking the truth in love.” Not one or the other but rather BOTH – truth and love, “speaking the truth in love.” (Ephesians 4:15) A person of truth never speaks with respect to how mere men will respond nor merely for their enrichment. No, he speaks the words, the truth of God, unashamed, boldly. His desire is to please the LORD, not men (Ephesians 4:15; Galatians 1:10). […]

Moses, the Mob, and Mountain Madness [podcast]

Every person who has an idol, just 1, has demons (Deuteronomy 32:17; 1 Corinthians 10:19-21). Repent now. Worship, Love, adore, trust, and Follow Jesus. There’s only one true God and worshipping Him any other way than He clearly, intricately prescribed, is by definition, the worship of a false god. “And he took the calf which they had made, and burnt it in the fire, and ground it to powder, and strawed it upon the water, and made the children of Israel drink of it.” Exodus 32:20 Like Moses, any person who fears God, will destroy any idol from his life.

His Grace is Sufficient for Thee [podcast]

“WHEN HE HAD BY HIMSELF purged our sins, sat down on the right hand of the Majesty on high.” Hebrews 1:3  ALL “BY HIMSELF” Jesus redeemed us, bought, brought us back to God by the shedding of His precious blood on that cross. Jesus needed no help: He alone was sufficient to propitiate, expiate, atone for the sins of mankind. The grace of Christ which saved us through His perfect sacrifice is the same and only grace that keeps us and enables His perfect will in our lives! Here’s how that works in His kingdom economy: He who died, was buried, and raised […]
