Remember — "Unique interpretations are usually wrong"
✟✟✟✟✟✟✟✟✟✟✟✟✟✟✟✟✟✟✟✟✟✟✟✟✟✟✟✟✟✟
Our actions and behavior are the most reliable index of our beliefs. If we are convinced that certain things are true, our lives will reflect it. Every person has a belief system, whether they realize it or not — your lifestyle reveals it. Often, our lifestyle contradicts the beliefs we claim to hold.

A person that wants to pray in the will of God will never pray for something that does not glorify God.

MEDITATION

Secular Meditation
Is looking into yourself, dismissing everything out of your mind, and trying to find some answer from within yourself.

Biblical Meditation
Is thinking deeply on the things of God, not looking into yourself, but thinking on deeply divine things. It is not creating some vacuum within yourself for something to find its way into. Biblical Meditation is thinking on the deep things of God.

APOSTATE

Coming upon the days when the sky will crack,
when the trumpets will blow and take it all back.
Too much pollution in the air and in their minds,
all that was good turned into an evil design.

Twisted perversion corrupting all things,
destiny sealed on tainted wings,
took what was gave and look what we made,
calling evil good while pretending to be saved.

How many chances, so many chances,
glorifying darkness and forsaking the light,
nastiness and filthiness their only delight.
Just say, I believe, and you will win the fight. Yeah, right.

Disgusting pigs and dogs, not of the Father,
but of the father of the lie,
convinced it doesn't matter as long as you try.
Striving is not trying, you do what you do or you do what you don't.
Fight for the right way because most of them won't.

They are what keepeth Hell enlarging every day,
the radio and television network slaves.
Watch reality that is nothing but fake,
disgusting idols that make you forsake.

What does your entertainment glorify,
the world or the sky?
See who you follow because I know who you do.
You lie to yourself, but I know what is true.

Make yourself feel better saying, everyone sins,
those are your only friends.
Enjoy burning with them in the end,
the time is coming when it begins.
Last chance, almost up, it all depends on you.
Don't try, just do.

Who do you follow, who do you love,
sex, fame, violence, hate and drugs?
You listen to the radio and TV more than you listen to Me,
then you have the nerve to say that you believe.

You know what you chose and so do I,
you chose death instead of the sky
and that is the reason that I cry.
I gave you a choice, you didn't choose Me,
you made yourself what you wanted to be.

Remember, God Created Humor

A Catholic Priest, a Baptist Preacher, and a Rabbi were talking shop one day and agreed that preaching to people wasn’t that difficult. They decided the ultimate test of their skills would be to go into the woods, find a bear, and convert it to their faith.

A week later, they reunited to share their progress. The Priest arrived first, nursing a few scratches and wearing his arm in a sling. He said, "I found a grizzly bear in a clearing. When he growled, I quickly read to him from the Catechism and sprinkled him with holy water. He instantly became as gentle as a lamb. The Bishop is coming next week for his First Communion!"

The Baptist Preacher spoke next. He was sitting in a wheelchair with both legs in casts. He boomed, "Well, brothers, you know we Baptists don't sprinkle! I found my bear by the river, but he wanted nothing to do with God's word. We wrestled up one hill and down another until I finally got him into the water, dunked him, and baptized his soul! He calmed right down, and we spent the afternoon praising the Lord."

They both looked down at the Rabbi, who was lying next to them on a hospital gurney. He was wrapped head‑to‑toe in a full body cast, hooked up to an IV, and in terrible shape. The Rabbi looked up weakly through the bandages and wheezed:

"Looking back on it... maybe I shouldn't have started with the circumcision."

Thank you, Almighty Father in Heaven, for loving me and immersing me in your everlasting mercies and love and grace. I am so unworthy, but yet you died for the old wretched man that I am. And now, O Lord, you have taken me from the bottom of a dunghill and have set me amongst princes. You have adopted me, and now I am your son.

O Father, Abba, you are worthy to be praised, who loves like you love and forgives as you do. There is none like you. I just praise you and thank you for saving a wretch like me. Thank you for your mercy, grace, peace, love, provision, for your protection, and your longsuffering, and patience.

You are a mighty and awesome God, King of kings and Lord of lords. Thank you, Almighty God. In Jesus' name I pray, Amen.

When you die to self, it sets you free.
It’s a freedom only a dead man knows. It cannot be fully explained, not even by theologians of the past or present. It isn’t something you learn in seminary. It is a life only a dead man can live — a life found only in Christ.

It is a life that cost Jesus His life, and it is going to cost you yours as well.

Are you willing to die for the One who died for you?
He laid down His life, and so must we. Only the dead can be resurrected. We must crucify our own lives to serve a crucified Christ.
