Bible Verse of The Day – 3-28-13

(2 Corinthians 5:10 NKJV)  For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ, that each one may receive the things done in the body, according to what he has done, whether good or bad.

In these days of heated political battles and the escalating fight between good and evil, it can be very easy to get caught in the middle of debates regarding moral issues and other hot buttons that abound in the world we live in.

These can be such topics as homosexuality, same-sex marriage, abortion, etc. Everyone seems to have an opinion on these and most people are very passionate about their opinion.

In the end, God is our judge; not the courts, the Supreme Court justices, the politicians, the church leaders or any other outspoken leaders or people who just want to be heard.

If God says something is so, then it is so. It doesn’t matter what anyone’s opinion is. Period.

And in the end, we will all stand before Him and answer for those things that we have said and done. This is what matters.

In the meantime, we need to stand firm in our Biblical convictions but we also need to love those around us while doing so. Constant arguments and heated debates will not show God’s love.

If we find ourselves in situations where things are getting heated, it’s best to speak our piece and walk away. We don’t need to feel like we should always have the last word.

So stand firm for what God has taught you and love those around you, even if you might not necessarily agree with how they live or what they stand for.

Remember… Love Always Wins!!

Bible Verse of The Day – 1-28-13

(Romans 1:27 NKJV)  Likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust for one another, men with men committing what is shameful, and receiving in themselves the penalty of their error which was due.

We would like to share what the Bible says about men being with men in a sexual, lustful way. Right now, here in RI (where we live), they are trying to pass a law stating that gay marriage is accepted by law.

As followers of Christ, the most important thing that we need to remember about living in this society and in this world is that man can pass laws and say that certain things are acceptable. But, we as God’s children, the children of the Most High, must line it up and compare it with what He says. It is His Word that matters the most.

If God is saying that something is shameful to Him, yet the state in which we live says it’s Ok to participate in such things, we need to choose God’s word over state law.

If you know someone today who is struggling in this area, we want to remind you to pray for them, to not judge them, and to continue to show them God’s love. But don’t be afraid to speak the truth and let them know your stance on the matter, when or if the door opens. That doesn’t mean we beat them up over it. But, it also doesn’t mean that we allow them to water down what we know is God’s truth.

God’s Word is what it is and it does not change for anyone or any certain situation. Whether it’s a best friend or family member, or someone that has chosen to pursue the same sex because of bad relationship experiences in the past, etc., wrong is wrong and right is right.
