YOUR "SYRUPY SWEET JESUS", AIN'T REAL!!

With “biblical illiteracy” at an ALL TIME HIGH, the church with “true shepherds” are in a heap of trouble, unless our regard for God’s Word and Promises continues to be embraced, as our hearts seek to please HIM in all that we do..

READ: 1 John 2:20-27

Case in point...


"Do not give dogs what is holy; and do not throw your pearls before swine, lest they trample them under foot and turn to attack you." (Matthew 7:6)

"Do not think that I have come to bring peace on earth; I have not come to bring peace but a sword. For I have come to set a man against his father, and a daughter against her mother, and a daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law; and a man's foes will be those of his own household." (Matthew 10:34-36)

"Whoever causes one of these little ones who believe in me to sin, it would be better for him if a great millstone were hung round his neck and he were thrown into the sea." (Mark 9:42)

"Every man who divorces his wife and marries another commits adultery, and he who marries a woman divorced from her husband commits adultery." (Luke 16:18)

"If a man does not abide in me, he is cast forth as a branch and withers; and the branches are gathered, thrown into the fire and burned." (John 15:6)

"But I say to you that every one who looks at a woman lustfully has already committed adultery with her in his heart." (Matthew 5:28)

"Have you read that he who made them from the beginning made them male and female, and said, 'For this reason a man shall leave his father and mother and be joined to his wife, and the two shall become one? So they are no longer two but one. What therefore God has joined together, let no man put asunder.'" (Matthew 19:4-6)

"I came to cast fire upon the earth; and would that it were already kindled! …. Do you think that I have come to give peace on earth? No, I tell you, but rather division…" (Luke 12:49-51)

"He who is not with me is against me, and he who does not gather with me scatters." (Matthew 12:30)

"For you will always have the poor with you…" (Matthew 26:10)

"What comes out of a man is what defiles a man. For from within, out of the heart of man, come evil thoughts, fornication, theft, murder, adultery, coveting, wickedness, deceit, licentiousness, envy, slander, pride, foolishness. All these evil things come from within, and they defile a man." (Mark 7:20-23)

"Woe to those who laugh now, for you shall mourn and weep." (Luke 6:25)

"Thus you witness against yourselves, that you are sons of those who murdered the prophets. Fill up, then, the measure of your fathers. You serpents, you brood of vipers, how are you to escape being sentenced to hell?" (Matthew 23:31-33)

"…unless you repent you will all likewise perish." (Luke 13:3)

"…go and do not sin again." (John 8:11)

Without a clear understanding of the Christian ethos, it's not so easy to balance the above words of Christ to more familiar lines such as "Love thy neighbor as yourself", and exhortations to be humble, to not seek riches, and to take care of the widows, orphans, sick and poor.

Our representation of Christ should be uniform or congruent with the REALITY of who HE "is" and what HIS Word says about HIM!

YES, HIS Love is everlasting, perfect and unchanging! But that doesn't mean HE winks at compromise, darkness, or sin..

HE is merciful!

HE is just!

HE is good!

Let's be REAL with ourselves as we reflect HIS Heart! WS-3
