Elijah-quality Faith

Thursday, April 10th, 2008

Elijah said, “How long will you hesitate between two opinions? If the Lord is God, follow Him; but if Baal, follow Him.” The same thing goes for Christ-followers: How can we follow Him as Lord unless we know Him as Lord? If we know Him as Lord, it will be irresistible for us to honor Him as Lord. There’s no way around it.

The most dependable way to confirm that Jesus is Lord is to obey His direct commands right away and then continue thus until further notice. A genuine desire to obey Christ is useful; this way we’ll stop and listen long enough to know what it is He is commanding us.

Vipers Become Lovers

Monday, March 24th, 2008

John the Baptist, son of Zacharias, received his word from God in the wilderness not in a Bible school. His baptism was of repentance for remission of sins. John called the people a generation of vipers fleeing from the wrath of God to come. (Bad fruit trees are hewn down).

He told them to bring forth fruit worthy of repentance. Stop relying on who their father was. It has no bearing with God who can raise up children for Abraham from stones.
John said to share all, stop cheating, be fair in judgment and non-violent. Be content with your wages.
