Bible Verse of The Day – 9-28-24

Deuteronomy 12:32 (NKJV) 32 “Whatever I command you, be careful to observe it; you shall not add to it nor take away from it.

His Word has purpose. It is to help bring salvation and deliverance to us. And to teach us of His ways.

If we take it lightly, or add our own twist to it so that we can continue to do things that we want to be doing without being convicted, we jeopardize our lives.

Beware of people who stand in the pulpit and take God’s word and turn it around.

Beware of people who fluff up the words of God and sugar-coat them so they can build a big following.

Beware of people who don’t teach the whole truth, but only the things they want to teach to keep it easy on the listeners.

A lot of words are being spoken today that lead people away from God. We need to beware and keep our guard up; our ears attentive and our Bible close by.

We must let the Holy Spirit prompt us. And we need to be ready to listen quickly.

James 1:19 (NKJV) 19 So then, my beloved brethren, let every man be swift to hear, slow to speak, slow to wrath…

We need to be alert. And if something we hear doesn’t sit right with us, there is probably a reason.

Check into it and compare it to God’s Word. His word is pure.

Our spirit will pick up on things that are off if we keep feeding it with God’s word.

When that happens, it’s up to us to make a move, and to stay clear of those who are adding to or taking away from His truth.

We are responsible for ourselves and what/who we let feed us.

Proverbs 30:5-6 (NKJV) 5 Every word of God is pure; He is a shield to those who put their trust in Him. 6 Do not add to His words, Lest He rebuke you, and you be found a liar.

Bible Verse of The Day – 7-23-23 – Back to The Word of God

Please click to watch the video now.Greetings in the name of our wonderful Savior, Jesus Christ! 

False teachings have been around for centuries.

The word of God warns us about them quite frequently. It is up to us to be able to spot them. 

In today’s video, Back to The Word of God, we teach about the importance of using God’s word to discern the things that we see and hear, to determine whether it is a false teaching or not. 

This is an especially important topic for today, so we hope you will take a few minutes to watch the video.

We hope you enjoy it! 

We love you all.

Bible Verse of The Day – 7-8-23

2 Peter 2:1-2 (NKJV) 1 But there were also false prophets among the people, even as there will be false teachers among you, who will secretly bring in destructive heresies, even denying the Lord who bought them, and bring on themselves swift destruction. 2 And many will follow their destructive ways, because of whom the way of truth will be blasphemed.

False teachers and false prophets are nothing new. They have been around for centuries.

They are still here today.

Their teachings and false prophecies are dangerous to the body of Christ. They always have been.

But today they are more dangerous because they are more easily propagated.

Modern media has created a way for false teachings to be passed around and put before the eyes and ears of millions who otherwise would not hear them.

This is one of the biggest causes of the mass spreading of these heresies.

Many of today’s cultures are also much more inclined to fall prey to these false teachers and false prophets because society today is largely self-centered, with strong desires to promote self, rather than elevating God to His rightful place.

This is the root cause of “itching ears”.

2 Timothy 4:3-4 (NKJV) 3 For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine, but according to their own desires, because they have itching ears, they will heap up for themselves teachers; 4 and they will turn their ears away from the truth, and be turned aside to fables.

So, it is imperative that we not allow ourselves to be persuaded by these false teachers, trading the truth for words that make us feel good or justify our less-than-righteous desires.

God’s word is our lifeblood and the shield that helps to guard our hearts from the deceitful words of the false teachers who speak as if to sway us and move us away from the truth.

Hold fast to God’s word, partaking of it as if your life depends on it.

Why? Because our lives do depend on it!

Bible Verse of The Day – 11-12-21

2 Timothy 4:3 (NKJV) 3 For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine, but according to their own desires, because they have itching ears, they will heap up for themselves teachers;

We need to be careful. Not everything that we hear is what it may seem to be.

Some things that are presented as truth are really just lies wrapped in tiny tidbits of truth to lend credibility to them.

This is true even within the church. Paul clearly warned us about this in the verse above.

As human beings, we can sometimes be persuaded to believe something that isn’t true, even if we might initially believe it to be a lie.

Why? Because it sounds good.

I know someone personally who heard a specific teacher make a statement, and his first thought was, “you’re a liar”.

But he continued to listen to this same teacher, and over time he began to believe the lie and eventually adopted it and accepted it as truth.

This is very dangerous for us.

God’s word is always our measuring stick. We need to be diligent to compare everything we hear to His word. If it lines up, it’s truth. If it doesn’t, it’s a lie. It’s very plain and simple overall.

So, let’s be careful not to be those who Paul warned about in the verse above, with itching ears to hear the things that sound good or make us feel good.

These are perilous times we’re living in, so we need to be sure we are arming ourselves with the truth of God’s word, not the lies of man and the enemy of our souls.

Bible Verse of The Day – 1-4-21

2 Peter 2:1-2 (NKJV) 1 But there were also false prophets among the people, even as there will be false teachers among you, who will secretly bring in destructive heresies, even denying the Lord who bought them, and bring on themselves swift destruction. 2 And many will follow their destructive ways, because of whom the way of truth will be blasphemed.

Corruption runs amok throughout the world.

Governments. Big business. Big tech. Even in small towns and cities. It’s everywhere.

It covers everything, from the smallest of villages to the largest of cites, and everything in between.

It lurks in small-town city councils and big-city mayors.

And, guess what. It’s also in the church, the body of Christ.

Now, I’m not referring to “church politics”, although it does live within that. I’m referring to false teachers and false prophets.

What do I mean by that?

False teachers infiltrate the church oh so quietly. They wear big smiles. They blend in with the rest of the body. They speak words that they claim to be truth. But those words are actually lies wrapped in small pieces of truth.

And those words corrupt the gospel of Jesus Christ, eroding and destroying the foundations of our faith ever so slowly.

Before we know it, the lies are being accepted as truth and the path of the church is running parallel to the path of the world; corrupt to the core by lies and deceit.

It’s critical that we, the followers of Christ, don’t fall for these lies, these half-truths. We need to be ever so vigilant, guarding the word of truth that God has imparted into us.

And here’s how we do that. We read and study His word. We feast on it. We digest it and we live it out each and every day in our own lives.

By doing this, we “embed” the word within us. And we present ourselves approved to God.

2 Timothy 2:15 (NKJV) 15 Be diligent to present yourself approved to God, a worker who does not need to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth.

Be sure we are on God’s path, not the parallel path!

Bible Verse of The Day – 9-18-20

1 Corinthians 2:2 (NKJV) 2 For I determined not to know anything among you except Jesus Christ and Him crucified.

The teaching of God’s word should always have one underlying principle. One truth that permeates everything about it; Jesus Christ and Him crucified.

Without Jesus as the foundation, nothing is done or said without the danger of possibly straying at some point.

When we leave Christ out as the foundation, we can get ourselves into some deep trouble if we’re not very, very careful.

He is everything.

He is the glue that holds everything else together. He is a shield of truth that fends off lies, deception, spiritual perversion and false teachings.

He is the truth.

John 14:6 (NKJV) 6 Jesus said to him, “I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me.

Knowing this helps us to discern what we hear, especially when it comes to what we hear taught about God’s word or about the kingdom of God.

If what we hear revolves around Jesus, His crucifixion, His resurrection, His ascension, His deity and His active role in our everyday lives through the Holy Spirit, then we know that what we’re hearing has a firm foundation.

If, however, what we hear revolves around us always being happy, having a perfect life, making others like us, becoming wealthy, being popular, becoming famous, being successful, etc., we can be pretty sure that Jesus is, at best, on the fringe of what is being taught.

He is an afterthought used to put a pretty bow on a shiny package.

Run from this. Run fast and run far from it.

Run to Jesus, our Redeemer.

Determine in your heart to know Christ, and Him crucified.

Bible Verse of The Day – 9-10-20

2 Timothy 4:3 (NKJV) 3 For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine, but according to their own desires, because they have itching ears, they will heap up for themselves teachers…

There is so much out there today that will tickle our ears. We can pick and choose what we want to hear. And of course, line it up with what makes us feel good about ourselves or our opinion.

What good is it if we get to heaven and find out that what we were doing was wrong? Will we simply say to God, “oops, that isn’t what my teacher told me. He/she said it was OK to continue in what I was doing.”?

Do we think God is going to say, “oh, it’s OK. You didn’t know better. Let me deal with your teacher. It’s their fault they misled you.“?

No. It’s our responsibility to dig in and find the truth. It’s our responsibility to pay close attention to the guidance of the Holy Spirit and obey His leading.

Let us not be ruled by our desires and spend all our time searching for someone to tickle our ears so we can continue to feel good in doing what we know we need to change.

Psalm 119:30 (NKJV) 30 I have chosen the way of truth; Your judgments I have laid before me.

God is faithful to lead us with sound doctrine that He has provided for each one of us. His word brings truth.

Amen.

Bible Verse of The Day – 8-25-20

2 Corinthians 7:1 (NKJV) 1 Therefore, having these promises, beloved, let us cleanse ourselves from all filthiness of the flesh and spirit, perfecting holiness in the fear of God.

Today we want to talk about the difference between fake religion and a real relationship.

The most disgusting and filthy thing that can happen to any of us is that we think we are walking with God, but then we find ourselves caught up in something less; a false religion.

Many years ago I learned there is quite a difference. But it is so very easy to be fooled if we are not sure of God’s word.

If we take everything to heart that a person may say, but fail to decipher or filter it through the Bible, we could be in that place right now and not even know it.

Fake religion is tricky and can seem so close to what the real thing looks like, that if we don’t have the Holy Spirit guiding us, prompting us and helping us, we will not see it even when we are walking in the midst of it.

A real relationship with God comes with a manual of instructions; His word! Sometimes this manual won’t make us feel good, especially when we are being chastened at times.

It doesn’t always look so good on the surface, especially when we have no clue about His timing or the outcome of a situation.

And having this real relationship with Him doesn’t always get us what we want. Sometimes it gets us just the opposite. Ouch!

We have to trust that He will always lead us into taking the right steps, toward what is best for us.

You see, fearing God comes when we have a real relationship with Him, when we get to know Him personally and we learn of His magnificence and His awesome love for us.

Our love will grow deeper and we will build a more reverent relationship towards Him.

This will never happen when we are running around in a fake religion, or in an organization that has us constantly hyped up, always feeling good, tickling our ears, and building us up in ourselves. No!

But healthy fear comes when a  truthful and real relationship begins.

We need to cleanse ourselves from the filthiness of the flesh, get our hearts in a right relationship with God, and we will walk in wisdom.

Proverbs 1:7 (NKJV) 7 The fear of the Lord is the beginning of knowledge, But fools despise wisdom and instruction.

Bible Verse of The Day – 4-5-20 – The Prodigal Bride – Part 2

Please click to watch the video now.Greetings in the name of Jesus! 

We hope you are well and walking closely with our God. 

Today’s video, The Prodigal Bride – Part 2, is very powerful. 

As we continue from last week’s teaching, God begins to lay bare some schemes of the enemy that he has been using for the last half century to slowly disable the bride of Christ and bring her not only to her knees, but to lay her flat on her back. 

This is critical information for the bride of Christ, so we hope you will take the time to watch it. 

Please click here to watch the video now. 

We love you all and want to see you grow in your walk with God. 

Sincerely in Christ,
