11/02/21 LET'S TALK ABOUT IT
(a part of discipling)

The discipleship process (learning and following Jesus) includes talking, listening, questioning, studying. Preaching is foundational but communication between disciples and spiritual leaders is also necessary. Remember, the three years of Jesus ministry was spent teaching and modeling the message of salvation to His twelve disciples. The Scripture makes it clear that there were many questions, which Jesus addressed. The questions were academic and practical in nature, rather than expressions of doubt. Throughout Christian history, men of God trained younger Christians in doctrinal and practical theology.

Personal counsel and open discussion have their place in the training program of God. Sadly it is ignored by some pastors or rejected by self satisfied parishioners.

My ministry has always included discussion, questions and comments, polite disagreement. But the only answers that are given authority are Biblical answers. Opinion must agree with God and His word.

I have included a few photos depicting our seating arrangements for various sized groups (7, 13, 26). I will let you know what and when I will provide these sessions. If you are interested in learning the Biblical view about these subjects, then we should have a place for you. And of course, this is ministry, not industry so there is no cost.

10/30/21 A GREAT WAY TO FINISH OFF OCTOBER

10/30/21 A GREAT WAY TO FINISH OFF OCTOBER

Photos of fellowship meal after worship today. We made it simple by telling everyone to bring what they wanted to eat. It was no muss no fuss. Of course we had extra for those who wanted to try something different. As you can see, everyone had a fun time, especially the young people.

 

The after meal fellowship went on for hours. It is so nice to have folks over for worship, music, food, fun, fellowship again.

 

This building is a great blessing. It reminds me of neighborhood times in The Promiseland, when I was a young person, sitting and visiting with one another on the pizer, roasting oysters in the back yard, family get-togethers and festive celebrations with folks scattered all over the house, porch and yard.

10/30/21 DREAMING GOD'S DREAMS AND ENLARGING MY MINISTRY BOUNDARIES

10/30/21 DREAMING GOD'S DREAMS AND ENLARGING MY MINISTRY BOUNDARIES

In the 80s, when I was pastor of The Anchor Church in M.C., we had meetings in various homes, including my home, as well as in a rented building. We would have over 50 people in my house for weekly Bible studies (living room and dining room) in River Height. We had cookouts, games and even a wedding in our back yard. The church is people and we meet and serve God in our homes, in public arenas, in basements, dens, garages, bonus rooms, workshops, and in family out buildings.

In Morehead and other places that I have pastored, we met in our homes, rented building, dedicated church buildings, public parks, libraries, motel conference rooms, storefronts, a converted bus, campgrounds, travel trailers, for church meetings, and for special activities. We used ball parks, water parks, movie theaters, amusement parks, museums. We had worship, study, Christian day school (1-11 grades), concerts, fellowships, ministry training institute, sports (soccer, soft ball, men's weight training, ladies exercise class, bowling), and we had a great Friday Family Night Get Together, which I called The Alternative (playing board games, ping pong, computer games, lip syncing, concerts) sometimes until after daybreak on Saturday.

There was more, much more. But everything was designed to glorify God, edify the believer and evangelize the sinner. The past 40 years have born witness and fruitfulness in God's service.

As I consider our opportunities to serve God today, I am even more excited. There are great challenges, greater need, more restrictions to deal with than in the past. But the only answer to man's plight is Jesus and I am committed to leading my congregation forward in victory.

These are the thoughts as I lead my congregation in worship, study, fellowship and ministry. I have always used my home as a ministry center. I am glad to have that opportunity now.

10/30/21 FORGET WHAT IS PAST, TAKE HOLD OF WHAT WILL BE

10/30/21 FORGET WHAT IS PAST, TAKE HOLD OF WHAT WILL BE

The world is on the cusp of total collapse and America is now the world leader in chaos.

Obviously God can do anything He chooses to do and extend mercy whenever it pleases Him, but if you are expecting a Hollywood ending for this evil world system, you are in for a rude awakening, or, more likely your happy dream state will morph into an endless, living nightmare. After all, we got into today's idiocracy by delusional thinking and numbskull trust in enemies of the cross.

This world system is hurtling headstrong, headlong, irretrievably into devilish destruction. When the imagined "light" of people is actually darkness, how great is that darkness.

Instead of straightening pictures on the wall of a house, which is totally engulfed in a hellish inferno, spend these precious moments rescuing the victims.
Instead of mourning Caesar, "Lift up your head (be elated), for your redemption (Jesus) draws near."
Instead of eulogizing and aggrandizing the darkness that is passing, spend your time embracing and exalting the light that is dawning.

To mourn and cling to the rotting corpse of God's enemy is to distance one's self from God and His plan.

It is counter productive to mourn the loss of a doomed and decaying enemy of God, while simultaneously proclaiming hope, faith, love, joy, peace in the rising Sun of Righteousness.

Don't turn people's attention to the loss of temporal, illusive desires, but rather let your lips give God glory for the rising hope and reality of eternal deliverance.

Let it be known by others that we did not come to praise Caesar, but to bury him. Even better, we come to welcome the returning King of kings. We can't mourn the loss of evil and praise the coming of Righteousness at the same time.

Remember, Jesus said,
Matthew 6:33-34
33 But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you.
dlg note... Speaking of basic needs, Jesus said that our first pursuit should be the, "the kingdom of God and His righteousness."

34 Take therefore no thought for the morrow: for the morrow shall take thought for the things of itself. Sufficient unto the day is the evil thereof.
dlg note... Don't worry about tomorrow, God is our protector and provider. God is the giver of every good and perfect gift. God gives us everything that pertains to life and godliness. God sometimes allows great trial, but He never leaves us or forsakes us and all things WORK TOGETHER for good to those who love the Lord and are called according to His purpose (remember Job). Don't project yourself into future disaster and don't allow future trials to absorb you energy. Neither long for the past nor fear the future. TRUST THE LORD.

We cannot be focused on this world and on Jesus at the same time.
Don't worry about tomorrow's problems. It will darken your view and rob you of your vision.
Look to Jesus, the Author and finisher of faith. He will see you through your difficult days ahead, but not if you are focused on what was.

Sinners need to see and hear from people who see and follow the Light rather than those who cry about the loss of a dark and dying world.

Philippians 3:7-14
7 But what things were gain to me, those I counted loss for Christ.
dlg note... Even the advantageous, good, admirable things of life can be a waste and a trap. Nothing is as important as a right relationship with Christ.

8 Yea doubtless, and I count all things but loss for the excellency of the knowledge of Christ Jesus my Lord: for whom I have suffered the loss of all things, and do count them but dung, that I may win Christ,
dlg note... It is our own responsibility to recognize the worthlessness of everything, when contrasted with Christ. Putting everything under the Lordship of Christ is essential if we want to gain the excellency of the knowledge of Christ. Paul not only surrendered everything to Christ, he counted his earthly advantages to be refuse, waste, filth, in order that he might win, gain Christ.

9 And be found in him, not having mine own righteousness, which is of the law, but that which is through the faith of Christ, the righteousness which is of God by faith:
dlg note... I discard the treasures of this world as filth in order to be found in Christ through faith in Christ, with the righteousness of faith.

10 That I may know him, and the power of his resurrection, and the fellowship of his sufferings, being made conformable unto his death;
dlg note... I gladly cast off the things of this world in order to KNOW Christ and the POWER of HIS RESURRECTION, and the FELLOWSHIP of HIS SUFFERINGS, which comes by being CONFORMABLE TO HIS DEATH.

11 If by any means I might attain unto the resurrection of the dead.
dlg note... Denying the world and the things of the world, dying to my Old Man (my Carnal nature), presenting my life (body, soul and spirit) completely to God as a living sacrifice is essential to attaining the First Resurrection (the resurrection from among the dead).

12 Not as though I had already attained, either were already perfect: but I follow after, if that I may apprehend that for which also I am apprehended of Christ Jesus.
dlg note... I have not yet been GLORIFIED; I have not yet received my resurrection body (the perfection that is unattainable in this present life), but I am active in pursuing the spiritual calling and provision that Jesus makes available to me here and now (the perfection that is attainable in this life, see vs.15).

13 Brethren, I count not myself to have apprehended: but this one thing I do, forgetting those things which are behind, and reaching forth unto those things which are before,
dlg note... Though I have not yet received the glorified (resurrected) life that God offers, I am single-mindedly committed to pursue, seize the life of victory, in this present world as well as the resurrection from the dead, which is provided by Christ. I forget the passing pleasures and advantages of this world and reach for the victory in Christ.

14 I press toward the mark for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus.
dlg note... I press, race toward, stretch out, in pursuit of God's calling me to victory in this present evil world and in the world to come.

We do not lionize or cling to the past.
Ecclesiastes 7:10
10 Say not thou, What is the cause that the former days were better than these? for thou dost not enquire wisely concerning this.

We do not build on a fickle future.
Proverbs 27:1
1 Boast not thyself of to morrow; for thou knowest not what a day may bring forth.

But we can and we should press forward in the will of God.
2 Corinthians 4:14-18
14 Knowing that he which raised up the Lord Jesus shall raise up us also by Jesus, and shall present us with you.
15 For all things are for your sakes, that the abundant grace might through the thanksgiving of many redound to the glory of God.
16 For which cause we faint not; but though our outward man perish, yet the inward man is renewed day by day.
17 For our light affliction, which is but for a moment, worketh for us a far more exceeding and eternal weight of glory;
18 While we look not at the things which are seen, but at the things which are not seen: for the things which are seen are temporal; but the things which are not seen are eternal.

2 Timothy 4:2-8
2 Preach the word; be instant in season, out of season; reprove, rebuke, exhort with all longsuffering and doctrine.
3 For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine; but after their own lusts shall they heap to themselves teachers, having itching ears;
4 And they shall turn away their ears from the truth, and shall be turned unto fables.
5 But watch thou in all things, endure afflictions, do the work of an evangelist, make full proof of thy ministry.
6 For I am now ready to be offered, and the time of my departure is at hand.
7 I have fought a good fight, I have finished my course, I have kept the faith:
8 Henceforth there is laid up for me a crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous judge, shall give me at that day: and not to me only, but unto all them also that love his appearing.

10/29/21 IGNORANCE IS NOT BLISS (IN THE FINAL ANALYSIS)

10/29/21 IGNORANCE IS NOT BLISS (IN THE FINAL ANALYSIS)

Ignoring the dangers of Socialism and Communism is like ignoring the danger of a rattlesnake, strychnine, rabies, jumping from the top of the Empire State Building, swimming in the midst of a shark feeding frenzy.

Actually, Socialism and Communism are more dangerous because there could be variables that change the expected outcome of the dangers listed.
Also, the list of dangers I mentioned effect one person, whereas, Socialism and Communism (two forms of the same evil) destroy entire families, communities, nations.
Socialism hates Bible faith and Christ followers.
The other dangers are physically dangerous rather than philosophically dangerous or spiritually dangerous.

We control whether we will be threatened by most personal dangers in life, but when society or evil men enact Socialism and Communism, we are victimized by others and have no choice.

Sin, all sin kills.
Some sins have farther reaching consequences than other sins.
Some sins are personal.
Some sins are public.

10/28/21 MINISTRY, NOT INDUSTRY

10/28/21 MINISTRY, NOT INDUSTRY

Kingdom work must be paid for, but kingdom begging, cajoling, maneuvering, bullying, shaming, threatening is not the kingdom way.

Christian giving is sacrificial giving from a thankful and happy heart.

10/27/21 WOF(ake) IS EVERYWHERE

10/27/21 WOF(ake) IS EVERYWHERE

There are well intentioned but misled believers who are involved with the "Word of Faith" movement (falsely called Word of Faith). In fact, the false doctrines of WoF have spread like a spiritual cancer to many different church organizations and denominations.

There are several false doctrines taught by WOF, which is now being accepted as fundamental teachings of the Bible.

Even believers have fallen for the demonic doctrines of Word of Fake teachers. People who were brought up in Biblically sound churches have been deceived; gospel singers have swallowed lies of false prophets (sometimes aligning themselves with the movements, programs and personalities).

However, today we have a wide spread mixture of the false with the true, so that unwary converts are being taken captive, while thinking that they are following the Bible and pleasing God.

Don't be misled by peer pressure or gullibility or intimidation.
Learn the word, study the word, trust the word, follow the word.
Test the spirits, to see if they are of God.
Don't accept any other gospel than God's revealed truth in the Holy Bible.
Remember, there are false gospels, false Christs, false Holy Spirits, false teachers, false prophets, false movements, false revelations.

I am always telling folks, if my teaching, preaching does not agree with the word of God, the Holy Bible, then don't believe me or my teaching.

Don't allow movements or popular personalities to take you captive to darkness.

10/27/21 A WONDERFUL TIME TOGETHER

10/27/21 A WONDERFUL TIME TOGETHER

Here are some photos as we worshiped at The Net House on The Lord's Day. Our adult ensemble has 8 singers/musicians (when they are all here) on this day we had our two youngest sing for us. As you can see, my new out building still needs work, but at least we are able to gather in my home again.

10/26/21 WORD OF FAKE (so-called faith) PREACHERS CLAIM THAT THEY ARE GODS AND WE ARE ALSO GODS

10/26/21 WORD OF FAKE (so-called faith) PREACHERS CLAIM THAT THEY ARE GODS AND WE ARE ALSO GODS

I would like to have posted the actual clips from these false prophets, but YouTube includes inappropriate links, which I choose not to promote. However, these are quotes taken from several WOF(ake) leaders. I realize that quotes can be out of context or misinterpreted, but I have seen the clips on more than just a couple of sources.

I will name speakers and give the quotes. Remember, this is just a limited presentation of the blasphemies they speak unashamedly. I don't explain how they are wrong. If you can't see how they are wrong then you need to take steps to get from under the damnable influence of the Word of Fake crowd. I will help you, but in this post I am simply restating the blasphemy that actually came our of the poisoned hearts and lying lips of the false teachers.

REMEMBER, THESE ARE QUOTES FROM FALSE TEACHERS.
Todd White...
"our minds become the very word of God itself. God did not want us to just memorize the word, He wants us to become the word."
"God wants our flesh to become the very word we say we believe..." "He is making me actively become that very word that I believe."
Kenneth Copeland...
"When I read in the Bible where he says I Am, I just smile and say, "Yes, I am too.""
Paula White...
counsels a guest on show, "you are a little god."
Benny Hinn...
"we are little gods walking in little bodies."
"Say after me... within me is a god-man. Repeat..."
"Better than that, say I am a god-man."
"God came from heaven and became a man. Made man into lettle god's. Went back to heaven as a man. Faces the Father as a man."
"Do you know who you are? This going to blow your mind real good." (he then refers to a passage with the word elohim (god's) in it) and makes the claim that "we are gods."
"If you are God's offspring, you are not human."
Francis Chan...
(about himself) "you are looking at a person who is not just a person. Somehow God is in me and there's a sense in which I am like god and man all at once."
Creflo Dollar...
Referring to God creating man in His own image, Dollar claims that "God made little gods, since we are in God's image," (according to Dollar) "we must also be gods. God produced little gods. You are gods, little g."
"You are gods. You are not just human. The only human part about you is the physical body that you live in."
"The real me is just like God."

Don't be surprised that these false teachers boldly claim that we are little gods. False religions and Christ-less cults (such as LDS) that also teach that Christians are little gods, AND PEOPLE BELIEVE THOSE LIES TOO.

The verses they twist to support their twisted belief system are explainable.
First, those verses cannot mean that there are other real gods than the One True God.
Yes, there are gods by appointment (whatever a person puts in the place of the True God is a false God by human appointment) and there are self appointed gods, BUT THERE IS ONLY ONE GOD WHO IS GOD BY NATURE."

10/25/21 PRIORITIZE

10/25/21 PRIORITIZE

I am glad for ministries of other churches (large or small), which are fulfilling God's calling and following God's leading. It takes visionary leadership and dedicated followship.

Productive parishioners are people who are ignited by God's vision and leading. Just as no pastor should be satisfied with basic or better than average ministry to his people, neither should parishioners be satisfied with sitting on the sidelines or giving halfhearted service or serving for personal gratification. God's work deserves our best effort, for His glory.

God directs His people to fulfill their tasks readily, gladly, wholeheartedly because after this earthly life is over, there is no more opportunity to do that which we should have done.

Ecclesiastes 9:10
10 Whatsoever thy hand findeth to do, do it with thy might; for there is no work, nor device, nor knowledge, nor wisdom, in the grave, whither thou goest.

Service to God, whether personal or as part of the local church team, should be given our best effort. The church worker, regardless of social standing, academic accomplishments, financial fitness, should be committed to excellence in whatever service they render. The effort sown will reap accordingly.

Fully dedicated Christians should find what God wants them to do and then do it with their might, do it as unto the Lord.
Whatever God wants you to do now requires total commitment now.
There comes a time when a person can no longer serve God and His church.
Don't waste your time.
Redeem the time.
Buy it up and use it for the glory of God.
Now is the accepted time, today is the day of salvation.

10/25/21 Here is a thought I shared 10 years ago. Just reading The Book and the signs of the time.

10/25/21 Here is a thought I shared 10 years ago. Just reading The Book and the signs of the time.

REMEMBERING...
Here is a disturbing thought. If America does not turn to Christ and Biblical faith, there will come a time when we may consider the days of Barak Hussein Obama as, "the good old days." BTW, I don't think we are going to turn as a nation, therefore it is left up to us individually to turn from sin and follow Christ.

No more "Christianity Lite." It is time for HARD CORE BIBLICAL FAITH.

10/25/21 IT IS GOOD TO BE BACK TOGETHER

10/25/21 IT IS GOOD TO BE BACK TOGETHER

We had a great time of worship and fellowship yesterday. I had trouble with my laptop, therefore I was not able to reach out to our ZOOM friends (which was a great disappointment). Mark was not able to be home, so we missed him greatly.
But the gathering together was awesome.

The first thing I did was tell my congregation that they are the toughest congregation I know about. Since our facilities have been too small to allow us to gather as we normally would have gathered (all of us together for worship and study and fellowship, and in separate SS classrooms) during the past several months I have held smaller in person and online meetings by combing teaching and preaching sessions (though all of my preaching includes teaching) and worked hard to prepare The Net House folks for the awesome days of ministry and Christian challenge ahead.

This made the preaching teaching sessions (usually three times a week) long, but our local body was very patient, attentive and kind, children and adults. They have always been tough.
Long services have not deterred them. This is true from the youngest to the oldest in our local church.
Some churches have long services but very little preaching/teaching. They mostly have long "praise services" (so-called) led by "worship teams" (so-called) and then some of them spend a good portion of time begging and finagling and bullying and squeezing money out of their people.
Christian giving is an act of worship but I have not actually "passed a plate" for decades. In fact, when we have a special need, I tell folks and then leave it between them and the Lord.
Our congregation is also used to testimony time, but yesterday it was mostly a musical message. I would share short, but poignant thoughts and then introduce special music about: full salvation, Biblical worship and service, evangelism, my vision for ministry, opportunities for serving God in the local body, renewal and restoration.

Most folks won't recognize these songs because our people have written a lot of music. The songs vary in style, but they are all very Scriptural and often address the Christian life in our present world.

Though you may not know most of these songs, I will give you titles, in order to see the direction of the service.

THE CHURCH (the nature and ministry of the church)
Sweet, Sweet Song Of Salvation
Give Me Jesus
BUILDING AN ARK (relating to family and church)
ANCHORED IN THE ROCK (Christ is our rock, hope is our anchor, faith is our cable)
COMPANY OF THE COMMITTED (as soldiers, Christians are committed to our Master, one another and those who need rescuing)
GOD OF NEW BEGINNINGS (not only the life of Christ through salvation, but renewal and restoration for those who drift or fall away)
(FAMILY MEDLEY)
God's Wonderful People
Plenty Of Room In The Family
Feeling At Home

We had a simple but great meal together and a wonderful afternoon of fellowship and fun for all, young and old.

Now that we have enlarged our home situation, we will enjoy even more wonderful times in the Lord together.

Through the years we have met with Christians from Iraq, Romania, Russia and the South Pacific. Our home services are simple, but those believers said it was more like Christian meetings in their homeland. And remember, since the New Testament times, home meetings have been normal for Christians all over the world.

If someone is interested in our home meetings (worship, Bible study, ministry training, fellowship, music ministry, youth ministry) or if you are interested in talking to us about Christ or our Bible beliefs, be sure to contact me.

10/23/21 DON'T POISON THE WELL

10/23/21 DON'T POISON THE WELL

The problem with blaspheming the Holy Spirit is that it cuts off the only One Who can deliver the blasphemer out of sin.

Also, those who blaspheme Christ's followers are poisoning the well of truth for people who believe the blasphemer's lies.

10/22/21 TRUTHS TO DRINK IN SLOWLY, MEDITATIVELY

10/22/21 TRUTHS TO DRINK IN SLOWLY, MEDITATIVELY

I sing a lot during the day. Yesterday this chorus came to mind.

Chorus
I'm going to live the way He wants me to live
I'm going to give until there's just no more to give
I'm going to love, love till there's just no more love
For I could never, never out love the Lord.

This is not boasting in self but boasting in the Lord's love for me and boasting in His grace, which makes me aware of His love, and boasting in a salvation that imparts Divine values and intentions to me.

As David said:
Psalms 34:1-3
1 I will bless the LORD at all times: his praise shall continually be in my mouth.
2 My soul shall make her boast in the LORD: the humble shall hear thereof, and be glad.
3 O magnify the LORD with me, and let us exalt his name together.

Psalms 145:1-5
1 David's Psalm of praise. I will extol thee, my God, O king; and I will bless thy name for ever and ever.
2 Every day will I bless thee; and I will praise thy name for ever and ever.
3 Great is the LORD, and greatly to be praised; and his greatness is unsearchable.
4 One generation shall praise thy works to another, and shall declare thy mighty acts.
5 I will speak of the glorious honour of thy majesty, and of thy wondrous works.

We come to a life of faith and faithfulness and praise by trusting, surrendering, seeking and following God.

Remember, Paul said,
Philippians 3:8-21
8 Yea doubtless, and I count all things but loss for the excellency of the knowledge of Christ Jesus my Lord: for whom I have suffered the loss of all things, and do count them but dung, that I may win Christ,
9 And be found in him, not having mine own righteousness, which is of the law, but that which is through the faith of Christ, the righteousness which is of God by faith:
10 That I may know him, and the power of his resurrection, and the fellowship of his sufferings, being made conformable unto his death;
11 If by any means I might attain unto the resurrection of the dead.
12 Not as though I had already attained, either were already perfect: but I follow after, if that I may apprehend that for which also I am apprehended of Christ Jesus.
13 Brethren, I count not myself to have apprehended: but this one thing I do, forgetting those things which are behind, and reaching forth unto those things which are before,
14 I press toward the mark for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus.
15 Let us therefore, as many as be perfect, be thus minded: and if in any thing ye be otherwise minded, God shall reveal even this unto you.
16 Nevertheless, whereto we have already attained, let us walk by the same rule, let us mind the same thing.
17 Brethren, be followers together of me, and mark them which walk so as ye have us for an ensample.
18 (For many walk, of whom I have told you often, and now tell you even weeping, that they are the enemies of the cross of Christ:
19 Whose end is destruction, whose God is their belly, and whose glory is in their shame, who mind earthly things.)
20 For our conversation is in heaven; from whence also we look for the Saviour, the Lord Jesus Christ:
21 Who shall change our vile body, that it may be fashioned like unto his glorious body, according to the working whereby he is able even to subdue all things unto himself.

Charles Wesley put some of this sentiment in his song, I Want A Principle Within.
I want a principle within
Of jealous, godly fear,
A sensibility of sin,
A pain to feel it near.
I want the first approach to feel
Of pride or fond desire,
To catch the wand'ring of my will,
And quench the kindling fire.

From Thee that I no more may part,
No more Thy goodness grieve,
The filial awe, the fleshly heart,
The tender conscience, give.
Quick as the apple of an eye,
O God, my conscience make;
Awake my soul when sin is nigh,
And keep it still awake.

Almighty God of truth and love,
To me Thy pow'r impart;
The mountain from my soul remove,
The hardness from my heart.
Oh, may the least omission pain
My reawakened soul,
And drive me to that blood again,
Which makes the wounded whole.

10/21/21 GOD'S WILL FOR ALL HIS CHILDREN

10/21/21 GOD'S WILL FOR ALL HIS CHILDREN

My constant prayer, all day, every day:
Lord, what would You have me be,
What would You have me think,
What would You have me say,
What would You have me do?

Not from a sense of ought but from an honest desire.

I not only want to obey God but I want to do that which is pleasing in His sight, since He gives me everything I need, which pertains to life and godliness.
I want others to see my good works and glorify my Father in Heaven.
I want to follow in His steps and do no sin.
I want to walk worthy of my calling and worthy of the Lord and fully please Him, being fruitful in all good work, and fulfill the good pleasure of His goodness and the work of faith with power. (WOW)
I want to walk in the light as He is in the light.
I want be pure, even as Jesus is pure.
I want to be perfect in love, even as my Father in heaven is perfect in love.

Be careful not to fault my wants, since they are all the will of God and they are all possible through the grace that is in Christ Jesus and they are the standards set by God Himself.

DON'T LET MAN MADE, SINNING RELIGION ROB YOU OF DIVINE VICTORY, OVERCOMING FAITH, CONTINUOUS TRIUMPH, SALVATION TO THE UTTERMOST.

I am not spouting Word of Fake lies, I am declaring the revealed word of God to His children in His churches.

And why wouldn't we want to live by these standards, since these are God's standards and they are the way of peace, joy, love, godliness and fulfillment?
