Too Many Shoulds....

"Should a Christian have tattoos... Should a Christian wear makeup... Should a Christian drink... 
Should a Christian wear jewellery... 
Should, Should, Should, Should... come on people what are you busy with? The devil is toying with you. It's about loving God - full stop. 
Don't you think God is capable of dealing with the rest? Besides God looks at you spirit man and in His eyes if you're born again your spirit man is perfect. Stop your endless debates about nonsense, keeping yourselves out of the game and accomplishing nothing. GET BUSY LOVEING GOD and spread the gospel ( good news )."

These are frequently asked questions that mostly... just ends in a debate where love and patience flies out the door.  It has always been believed that you can find every and all direct answers in the Bible...  Now I am sure you can probably twist anything so that it sounds the way you want it to sound.  Fact of the matter is the Bible is a book about God's relationship with man.  It doesn't consist of do's and dont's!  Instead focus on your relationship with God and serving Him... let the spirit reveal and do the rest.  Remember that God works with your heart and the intentions behind your actions... not the actions themselves.

God's precision engineering

-The eggs of the potato bug hatch in 7 days; -those of the canary in 14

days; -those of the barnyard hen in 21 days; -The eggs of ducks and geese hatch in 28 days; -those of the mallard in 35 days; -

The eggs of the parrot and the ostrich hatch in 42 days.
(Notice, they are all divisible by seven, the number of days in a week!)

God's wisdom is seen in the making of an elephant. The four legs of this
great beast all bend forward in the same direction. No other quadruped is so
made. God planned that this animal would have a huge body, too large to live
on two legs. For this reason He gave it four fulcrums so that it can rise from the ground easily.

God's wisdom is revealed in His arrangement of sections and segments, As well as in the number of grains.

-Each watermelon has an even number of stripes on the rind.
-Each orange has an even number of segments.
-Each ear of corn has an even number of rows.
-Each stalk of wheat has an even number of grains.
-Every bunch of bananas has on its lowest row an even number of bananas, and each row decreases by one,

so that one row has an even number and the next row an odd number.
-The waves of the sea roll in on shore twenty-six to the minute in all kinds of weather.
All grains are found in even numbers on the stalks, and the Lord specified
thirty fold, sixty fold, and a hundred fold all even numbers.

God has caused the flowers to blossom at certain specified times during the day. Linnaeus, the great botanist, once said that if he had a conservatory
containing the right kind of soil, moisture and temperature, he could tell the time of day or night by the flowers that were open and those that were closed!

The lives of each of you may be ordered by the Lord in a beautiful way for His glory, if you will only entrust Him with your life.

If you try to regulate your own life, it will only be a mess and a failure.

Only the One Who made the Brain and the Heart can successfully guide them to a profitable end.

I HOPE YOU FIND THIS AS FASCINATING AS I DID.
May God Bless You in Ways You Never Even Dreamed

Stay on Fire

In Matthew 20 we read a very interesting story.  Jesus tells of a land owner that goes out n the morning to find workers in the market place.. he agrees to pay them a day's wage and takes them in to work in his fields for the day.  As the day goes on the landowner goes out several times during the day and hires more men... also agreed in a day's wage.  At the end of a hard day's work... every worker got the same amount of money, whether he worked all day or simply for a short while.

  Jesus compared this to the Kingdom of God.  Now to us this might seem unfair... but we work according to worldly terms.  We need to understand that nothing we do is by works but by grace.  No matter how hard we work or how much we do... we cannot deserve anything God has to give.

Now you  might ask why go through all the trouble?  The question is why not.  This is what separates Christianity from anything else in this life.  You are not a Christian for the benefits it carries or the good you can get out of it... instead it is a love relationship between you and God.  It is where we realize that God gave us everything we have, our every breath... just because He loves us.  And so we cannot but feel the need to share this passion with the world and treat others as Christ has treated us.

Our focus is on things above and not on things in this world.  It is high time we get back to our first love and be Christians not because we benefit from it but because this passion and love God has placed in us and bestowed upon us, cannot be kept at bay.

The movement

1 Corinthians 12:27 "Now you are the body of Christ and individually members of it."

So many times we hear that people see pastors as God's elect and the rest are just as servants... where did this mentality come from?  God made man in His image and gave him authority over all of creation.  So let's face it, we are in God's service!  Everything we do we do for him.  And everyone is called to something different.

1 Corinthians 12:14-15 "For the body does not consist of one member but of many. If the foot should say, “Because I am not a hand, I do not belong to the body,” that would not make it any less a part of the body."

God has given every human being a different talent and character to fit his or her calling.  It is high time we start doing what we are called for.  Some people are called to be business men and woman, others to be teachers, some to be doctors or social workers.  The difference is each person should not be ignorant of their calling or think of it less than the person next to you!  If God called you to sweep the streets then do that to the best of your ability... because the one sweeping street should keep the road clean so that the road is safe and do not cause death to motorists using it.

1 Corinthians 12:17 "If the whole body were an eye, where would be the sense of hearing? If the whole body were an ear, where would be the sense of smell?"

It is absolutely vital to do what God called us to do and to give our all so that God can receive the glory!  We are simply vessels, instruments in God's Kingdom!  Don't be ignorant of the person's calling next to you... we all need one another to accomplish what God called us to do.
