Jeremiah 7 At the Crossroads
Thursday Jul 17, 2008
Thursday Jul 17, 2008
By definition, an ultimatum is a demand whose fulfillment is requested in a specified period of time and which is backed up by a threat to be followed through in case of noncompliance. By our culture, we have made this a bad word. But giving ultimatums is exactly what God is doing in this seventh chapter of Jeremiah. On the other hand, he is also giving blessings to those who comply with His demands. Sometimes ultimatums are the thing that compels us to make a decision.Other times it is the promise of a blessing that draws us to good. It all depends on where your heart is. Has someone warned you of God's ultimatums and you felt it was too negative to comply? Have you heard about the blessings God offers and it's not enough to make you change? Check your heart by this message.

When you are opposed in a confrontation, how do you respond? Your response is important because it measures your Christ-likeness. In other words, measure yourself by Christ in order to see if have conformed to His image. When He was confronted did he "just keep the peace"? That is to say, was he non-responsive to keep down the conflict? Listen to how John says Jesus faced opposition and learn how to face yours.

How important is it to you to know that God dwells within you? Is it important enough that you will sacrifice your body for the Spirit sake?

We should all be mindful that we do not live unto ourselves, that God has given us a treasure in these earthen vessels. Listen to Pauls assessment of our responsibility to the indwelling.

Deuteronomy 28 pt. 1 The God of the Old Testament had Blessings for the Taking
Tuesday Jul 08, 2008
Tuesday Jul 08, 2008
When people speak of the "God of the Old Testament" they often call Him a 'tribal god' and say that he is mean and cruel. They speak of Him as if He is different than Jesus. What most do not understand is that God has not changed. Without a knowledge of the Old Testament people make such asinine statements about the character of God. God had blessings for His people, for the taking. He wasn't, and isn't, cruel. He is loving, beneficent, and merciful. But like most of us, Israel was disobedient, unfaithful, and disloyal (and we call Him cruel). Listen and gain some understanding of the True Character of Our God.

John 17 Jesus Prays..but not for Everyone (Are you included in His Prayer?)
Tuesday Jul 08, 2008
Tuesday Jul 08, 2008
This is the true Lord's prayer. Our Lord is praying for His disciples, those who had been with Him, and those who will come to believe in Him. He prays for oneness of all who believe but the unity has a condition....TRUTH! Jesus glorified His Father's name, and the Holy Spirit glorifies Jesus name. Whose name will you glorifying? If you are glorifying your pastor or your own name, you are not included in this prayer and you're not upholding the TRUTH.

II Corinthians 4 Don't be Blinded by the Gospel
Tuesday Jul 08, 2008
Tuesday Jul 08, 2008
Have you noticed that talking about Yeshua causes some people to become offended? Do you realize the exclusivity of the gospel (Jesus is the only way to God) is what those who don't believe despise? It was no different with Paul when he preached the gospel to those who felt the gospel was intolerant. What did Paul get for it... beaten, imprisoned, and persecuted; mostly by "religious people." Are you one of those "religious people" who find that the true gospel is just too exclusive and intolerant for society? Is the gospel hid to you because you're not willing to suffer for the kingdom? Listen to what Paul has to say about those who are willing to shine the true light of the gospel of Christ.
