Why should we help others spiritually? Why shouldn't we go back to our old lives?








"Though they are fully aware of God's righteous decree that those who do such things deserve to die, they not only do themselves but approve and applaud others who practice them." - Romans 1:32 

When we are Christians we should not wish for the habits we have left. Solomon  describes it as a dog going back to its vomit. (Proverbs 26:11) Once we have left our old life, we've left it and now need to be looking forward not back. But, just think, if you had all the riches in the world but had no reason to live what would it be worth? Nothing. This so Jesus describes in Mark 8:36: 
"What do you benefit if you gain the whole world but lose your own soul?'"
We should not practice old doctrines and call ourselves Christians. Neither should we applaud those who practice our old doctrines. They may have been looking up to you, and now your Christian you show them the way because they followed your old doctrines. Do not let them continue! We must tell them what is right. "Therefore encourage one another and build each other up,..." - 1 Thessalonians 5:11. People say that we should not judge one another. It is in the Bible. But, just think again. Who was righteous at the time? No-one. Jesus hadn't paid the sacrifice so He was telling the people not to judge out of their sin. Nowadays, we have the Holy Spirit which helps us judge. God has given us a spirit to judge and love and of faith. For it is love that makes faith to work and faith to make hope to work. God bless you!

Humble Is Best!

Direct my footsteps according to your Word; let no sin rule over me. Psalm 119:133  |  NIV   We need to let God's Word rule our lives, directing our footsteps on our journey through life. God is our Director leading us-even of the path LOOKS right, it doesn't mean it IS right. God knows best so we shouldn't be no-it-alls. Humble your self!

Key = Blue = Scripture  Red = Answers to questions  Green = Verses to read in your spare time. Black = Normal post Bold = Question  "Call unto Me, and I will answer you, and show you great and mighty things, which you do not know." - Jeremiah 33:3.  Many people either don't believe in God, or become atheists, partly because of this question: Why doesn't God answer some of my prayers?  Answer: This is because of your heart. Before you ask this question you must ask yourself, am I pure? Have I sinned by mistake and need forgiveness? Or are my thoughts starting to make my light darken? Ask yourself these questions and their surely will be an answer.  But why must I ask myself these questions?  " So flee youthful passions and pursue righteousness, faith, love, and peace, along with those who call on the Lord from a pure heart" - 2 Timothy 2:22    If we are not thinking good thoughts or have sinned by mistake or not, we have sta...

Christ Died For Me! Romans 5:8

"But God shows His love for us on that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us" - Romans 5:8 Sin. God. Not friends. God tells us to love one another, but we only have one enemy. Satan. The person who wants to wipe out mankind forever. One of his main servants is Sin. Something that cannot get is close to God. But how does he bait us in? How? Worldly pleasures. Money, Fame, Huge businesses, Children and everything you could ever wish for. Satan shall give you these things but they shall not last long. Only things from Jesus last eternal, if we follow Him. SEE Joel 2:32 Jesus paid a big price to make us clean and pure. He died. It was only a heavenly body that could rescue us. Why not the Angels? You may ask. You see, they needed to be in the form of a human, which could not be possible before Jesus died. So God sent his Son. He gave up his pride and joy. His most beloved son. SEE John 3:16. We do not have to pay that huge debt. We would have to DIE if Jesus had not d...
