Bible Verse of The Day – 9-6-21

Introduction

1 Corinthians 6:9-10 (NKJV) 9 Do you not know that the unrighteous will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived. Neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor homosexuals, nor sodomites, 10 nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners will inherit the kingdom of God.

We live in an age of gray.

Black and white, right and wrong, have been swept under the rug and classified as antiquated and outdated.

Anything goes and is permissible in this “enlightened” time in the world’s history.

That’s what we would be told, anyway, by so many who support this kind of behavior.

Love is love, we’re told. It doesn’t matter who or what you love as long as you’re OK with it.

Sin is old fashioned, they say. Those values have gone out of style. And “who can truly define sin anyway?”, we hear again and again.

God’s word, however, tells us something vastly different. And though the world will tell us that God’s word is no longer relevant, or that we are misinterpreting it, they speak blindly and ignorantly, having no real knowledge of God or His word.

Sadly, much of this terrible, blasphemous ideology has trickled down into the church, being accepted by some believers as truth. And while some may not necessarily embrace it as truth, they will tolerate it and say that we are not to judge others.

We are here today to set the record straight and break this down so that the truth is clearly known, and there will be no question about what is right or wrong, based on what God’s word says about it.

This will not necessarily be all-encompassing. But it will give enough proof from God’s word to show that there should be no question about any of these topics.

Lastly, before we dive in, let’s be clear that this is not being done to throw stones, point fingers or condemn by our words.

God’s word convicts and also offers hope. So, let us be judged by the word of God, and let us be subject to God via His word, following that word on the path to an acute awareness of our sin, the need for genuine repentance, and a conscious choice to seek forgiveness as we follow Christ wholeheartedly, giving ourselves wholly to Him.

So, over the next several days, we will tackle these topics, one at a time, making sure that they are clear and irrefutable in the context of God’s word. We will define anything that may not be as clear as some might like it to be, making sure not to leave anything hidden or unclear wherever possible.

So, join us starting tomorrow for our newest teaching series. We’re looking forward to sharing it, and we hope you will truly enjoy it and it will help bring clarity and understanding where there may have been confusion.

Bible Verse of The Day – 6-23-21

Galatians 5:1 (NKJV) 5 Stand fast therefore in the liberty by which Christ has made us free, and do not be entangled again with a yoke of bondage.

As I have been studying in the book of Romans recently, I have seen and read a lot about sin in the lives of believers.

If we pay close attention to the word of God, and what it says on this topic, it becomes clear that this is a really big deal. It’s not something that we should just brush off and ignore.

The verse above tells us to stand fast in the liberty by which Christ has made us free.

Looking more closely at some of the phrases used here gives us a bit deeper insight into what this verse means to us.

Stand Fast: Don’t backtrack. Don’t surrender again to sin. Don’t budge when sin tempts us.

Liberty: Freedom bought and paid for by Jesus Christ, through His death on the cross.

Entangled: Ensnared, entrapped.

Yoke of Bondage: Sin, unrighteous behavior that holds us captive, separating us from God’s presence in our lives.

So, if we were to paraphrase the verse based on these definitions, synonyms, and understanding from the Holy Spirit, here’s what it might read like.

Do whatever it takes to hold onto the freedom that Jesus Christ died to give you. Don’t surrender it at any cost. Don’t let the enemy slyly lead you into the chains of sin again, from which you have already been set free.

So, we urge you in love to do just that; resist sin and temptation to fall back into the sin that Jesus died to deliver us from.

The freedom that we have was costly for the One who died to make it available to us.

Let’s cherish it, honor it and respect it with our hearts and our lives.
