Put Another Way

mix match2 Corinthians 6

14 Do not be mismatched with unbelievers; for what do righteousness and lawlessness share together, or what does light have in common with darkness?
15 Or what harmony does Christ have with Belial, or what does a believer share with an unbeliever?
16 Or what agreement does the temple of God have with idols? For we are the temple of the living God; just as God said,

“I will dwell among them and walk among them;
And I will be their God, and they shall be My people.
17 Therefore, come out from their midst and be separate,” says the Lord.
“And do not touch what is unclean;
And I will welcome you.
18 And I will be a father to you,
And you shall be sons and daughters to Me,”
Says the Lord Almighty.  source 

To whom is this epistle addressed?
Put another way, who is GOD talking to in these verses of Scripture?
How do these verses compare with yesterday’s verses?  1 John 2: 15 – 17 
Are the matters related? And if so, how so? 

What is GOD saying to us?  What is He saying to YOU?

Take care, my Friends, Kathie

Remember Lot’s Wife

Leave a comment

I and likely thousand upon thousands were admonished by the sermon to Remember Lot’s Wife.

It was a good and valid sermon as far as it went. I am mindful now as I think of it it is like a surgeon with a scalpel – a cutting tool. Do we not know unless the surgeon cuts deep enough and wide enough diseased tissue will not be eradicated, and it will be left to  invade and infect connecting healthy tissue?

32Remember Lot’s wife.

You can find the verse at Luke 17:32.

It’s written in red — JESUS spoke it with His GODMAN lips when He walked on this earth. 
To whom did He say it?
We would have to read the chapter to answer that.  I am providing you a LINK for immediate reading. And I hope you will read it. Verse one will answer the question. 

1 Now He said to His disciples, “It is inevitable that stumbling blocks come, but woe to one through whom they come!  source

To whom is He still saying it? 
Isn’t it safe to say He is still speaking to us, His Disciples of today?

Remember Lot’s wife
What did Lot’s wife do? I hope you will read Genesis 19 for the answer. 

It’s been said she got stuck. I get that but let’s cut deeper.
Why did she get stuck?
Was it her house in the city? Was it her new king-size comforter? Was it her prominent lifestyle?  Was it friends? Was it her lovely garden? A new chariot and that beautiful stallion in the stall?  
We cannot say for certain and perhaps that is good because now it’s open for us to identify with her, learn from her sin and not sin in that way ourselves. 
So just why did she die with the same sulfur that killed the people in Sodom?

Allow me to give you an answer to ponder.word of GOD

Because she disobeyed GOD!
Getting stuck my Friends in whatever state it may be (bitterness, unforgiveness, addictions, resentments, etc.) is a consequence of SIN.
Disobedience. 
Why are we so afraid to use the words sin and disobedience in Christiandom today? 
Why do we use softer words like stuck?  Why do we not wield the Word of GOD like a skilled surgeon uses a scalpel?  
People do not need band-aids. They need transformation — to become a new creation. (see 2 Corinthians 5:17)

Remember Lot’s Wife.
Lot’s wife died Y’all. She died because she refused to obey GOD.

How many things in our lives do we love more than we love obeying GOD?
Remember Lot’s Wife. Luke 17:32.

Just One Family . . .

Leave a comment

I started this at Facebook but abandoned that, and came here. 

I’ve heard there’s a new Disney movie – just in time for October 31. I’ve heard some christians can hardly wait to see it.
If I could influence just one family to listen to me, I’d be thrilled.
Just one family to repent of all entertainment crafted to introduce little ones to the works of darkness – the satanic underworld.
How sad it is to me that professing brothers and sisters in CHRIST pay little to no attention to Scripture when choosing movies, music, games, books, etc.
Do people not know, do they not care that we are commanded by the GOD we say we love to abstain from all appearance of evil? (see 1 Thessalonians 5:22)
And that satan appears as an angel of light to the undiscerning. Get it? The personification of Darkness pretends he is light. (see 2 Corinthians 11:14)
Who is the Light of the World? (see John 8:12)
So if we love the Light of the World why do we go to the theater or stream movies into our homes that glorify darkness?

I know. I know. Some say it’s just for fun.
I’m glad Moses didn’t think that way and I’m glad now for every brother and sister who doesn’t either. (see Hebrews 11:24-26)

Please hear me. 
Now and in times to come is no time to be a pretender. 
And why would anyone want to be?

Why not sell out to JESUS? He gives Eternal Life!
No one else does.
