The Church

💥 A very small percent of The Church believe the whole Bible. They only take the parts of the Bible that suit THEIR agenda.

🤏Only a small percent of those churches who believe the whole Bible, actually teach biblical truth.

📖The Bible is NOT outdated. It's not meant to be modified to suit OUR needs.

🗿If your church isn't teaching truth, it's not a Christian church. It's pagan worship; embracing the culture of today.

☠️THIS IS DANGEROUS!

🙏🏻If you aren't equipped to differentiate, start praying, reading the Bible (the whole Bible!), go to church and learn truth for yourself.

🗣️If you believe the Truth, are you living it out loud? Do people know without a doubt that you are a follower of Jesus or do they just see a good person that is consumed with self-indulgence (material desires, vulgar language, money, achievements, drunkenness...); justifying it with "everyone is doing it so it's ok"?

📵We are ALL tempted with these sins (anything that disconnects us from God) and fall short daily from living a holy life.

🕊️for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God,
Romans 3:23 NIV https://romans.bible/romans-3-23

🩸This is why the blood of Jesus is of utmost importance. His sacrifice washed our sins clean but it does not give us permission to willingly sin.

🕊️ But thanks be to God! He gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ. 1 Corinthians 15:57 NIV https://1corinthians.bible/1-corinthians-15-57

🌿If you feel like arguing with me on this topic, evaluate the root of your anger. The enemy loves division. Which side are you willing to stand up and defend?

✝️God created us with free will. You absolutely have a choice whether or not to follow Jesus. However, those choices will come with dire consequences.

🕊️But whoever disowns me before others, I will disown before my Father in heaven. Matthew 10:33 NIV https://matthew.bible/matthew-10-33

📖Your faith doesn't affect my salvation but I love you enough to make sure you have the tools you need to make an informed decision or even discussion. I don't have all the answers but I know where we can find them.

🕊️And I saw the dead, great and small, standing before the throne, and books were opened. Another book was opened, which is the book of life. The dead were judged according to what they had done as recorded in the books.
Revelation 20:12 NIV https://revelation.bible/revelation-20-12

❓Who are your influencers? Who do you consider your top 10 closest friends? What do they believe? How are they living out their lives? You reap what you sow.

🕊️For this people’s heart has become calloused; they hardly hear with their ears, and they have closed their eyes. Otherwise they might see with their eyes, hear with their ears, understand with their hearts and turn, and I would heal them.’ Matthew 13:15 NIV https://matthew.bible/matthew-13   (read the whole chapter)

⭐The most important influencer you need to take advice from is Jesus Christ. He's waiting to hear from you. Whatever you ask of Him, He WILL answer.

🕊️“Ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you. Matthew 7:7 NIV https://matthew.bible/matthew-7-7

👀 I'm still learning. I do not have the answers but I'm still seeking. I do know the spiritual battle is raging and if we're not careful, we'll be swept away and disconnected from God's grace and mercy.

🎁 I've seen God's blessings in our life. I've seen His faithfulness in response to our obedience. It's beautiful!! It's freeing!! It's breathtaking!!

♥️It doesn't mean we're free from this world's brokenness. It does mean there is hope. It means we don't have to carry the burden alone. It means he loves us enough to save us from ourselves.

🫵You! You are his precious child. It's time to come home.

Revival

In case no one posted this on your feed, there are revivals (religious services within the Christian church that are held to inspire, or reawaken, the spiritual vigor of a group of believers) going on across the world right now.
