THINKING OF LOOKING BACK? Think 💭 again!

“But Lot’s wife looked back as she was following behind him, and she turned into a pillar of salt.”
Genesis 19:26 NLT

The story of Lot's wife make a vivid point on what happens when we look back to what we miss. I can tell you, it happens daily, with Christians turning back from the faith, because they were fed with emptiness from the dead churches they belonged to. Jesus warned us about looking back on the plough - and on what happens when you look back. The Master Himself related to Lot's wife as an example of those who look back on the world and think it still holds such beauty. But, what is the point of running after something that will be destroyed soon? It's like buying milk that will expire tomorrow. 
Here's what Jesus said: 
“Remember what happened to Lot’s wife!”
Luke 17:32 NLT

You see? What is still in this world? Heaven is waiting for us; filled with love and Jesus, no pain or death. Nothing but us, the Lord, and true beauty.

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...

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!

What is the wisdom of the world to God? FOOLISHNESS!

“For the wisdom of this world is foolishness with God. For it is written, He taketh the wise in their own craftiness.” 1 Corinthians 3:19 KJV http://bible.com/1/1co.3.19.kjv You see, for new born believers, it takes a while for the fact that they cannot be loved by or be part of the world. Unfortunately, this is usually found out after devastating consequences. In this chapter of 1 Corinthians, verse 19, Paul talks about the Wisdom of God being foolishness to the world. This portrays the relationship between a Christian and the world. THEIR SHOULD'NT BE ONE. No-one can sit on the fence. For those of you trying, you still will belong to the darkness. Until you take a step of faith to reach the light, you and your darkness remain. After becoming a Christian, you are made holy. But maintenance and discipline are needed to keep the holiness and remain pure. People begin to defile this holiness by continuing and re-doing their past life! Don't follow them! Remain pure!  ...
