A Few Bible Thoughts For Your Day

Hey everybody,

I hope things are going your way.  We had a great day Sunday and are getting ready for an encouraging Bible class Wednesday night at 7.  Make plans to join us, we'd love to have you. 

We have been blessed to have visitors who read these posts.  If you would like to visit and need directions, please feel free to email me at the address below.

For today, here are a few thoughts.

Taking A Stand

God calls us to declare publicly which side we are on.

Beginning with our first parents (Adam and Eve), the alternatives are clearly spelled out: obedience or disobedience; life or death; loyalty or disloyalty.  Take your choice.  But you must choose.

“And the Lord God commanded the man, saying, Of every tree of the garden you may freely eat; but of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil you shall not eat, for in the day that you eat of it you shall surely die” (God to Adam and Eve, Genesis 2:16-17).

"I have set before you life and death, blessing and cursing; therefore choose life, that both you and your descendants may live; that you may love the Lord your God, that you may obey His voice, and that you may cling to Him" (Moses to the people of Israel, Deuteronomy 30:19-20).

"Choose for yourselves this day whom you will serve, whether the gods which your fathers served that were on the other side of the River, or the gods of the Amorites, in whose land you dwell. But as for me and my house, we will serve the Lord" (Joshua to the people of Israel, Joshua 24:15).

"How long will you falter between two opinions? If the Lord is God, follow Him; but if Baal, follow him" (Elijah at Mt. Carmel, 1Kings 18:21).

"No one can serve two masters; for either he will hate the one and love the other, or else he will be loyal to the one and despise the other. You cannot serve God and mammon" (Jesus, Sermon on the Mount, Matthew 6:24).

"No one, having put his hand to the plow, and looking back, is fit for the kingdom of God" (Jesus, to a would-be follower, Luke 9:62).

"So then, because you are lukewarm, and neither cold nor hot, I will vomit you out of My mouth" (the Holy Spirit to the churches, Revelation 3:16).

From Genesis to Revelation the challenge is the same: Choose your side!  Be committed!  Declare yourself!  Take a stand!

Reasons To Stand

There are some compelling reasons for taking a stand.  I'd like to suggest three…

(1) Integrity compels us to declare ourselves.  Jesus was right.  No one can be loyal to two masters at the same time.

(2) Obedience compels us to declare ourselves.  One is obedient from the heart to the doctrine of Christ and is made free from sin when one is baptized.  We pledge ourselves to stand with Christ all the rest of our days. To do this we must contend for the faith that once and for all has been delivered to the saints.

(3) Love compels us to declare ourselves.  "For the love of Christ compels us" (2 Corinthians 5:14).  We must give ourselves wholly to a defense of the Gospel.  Although one can give without loving, one cannot love without giving.  God loved us so much that He gave.  When we truly love Him in return, we also will give: of our lives, our commitment, our ambitions, our money, our time, our talents, our all.

When we do that, we, the world, and God will know whose side we are really on.

Have a great week!  Come see us, we'd love to have you!
