Lost Christians?

I am ashamed of people that call themselves Christian and use a vocabulary from the gutter. God will hold us accountable for EVERY WORD that comes from our mouth. Don't these people understand? Don't they know that those words are from their heart? If their heart is filled with sinful, vulgar trash they have no part of Christ. Sweet and sour cannot flow from the same fountain. Hear my plea, clean your heart, and let your words be pleasing to God. I am not judging you, the word of God IS! Please, please, please my dear friends; Sanctify your hearts, wash your hands and live as an example of Grace.

S.O.A.P.

S.       1I say then, hath God cast away his people? God forbid. For I also am an Israelite, of the seed of Abraham, of the tribe of Benjamin.2God hath not cast away his people which he foreknew. Know ye not what the scripture saith of Elias? How he maketh intercession to God against Israel, saying, 3Lord, they have killed thy prophets, and digged down thine altars; and I am left alone, and they seek my life.4But what saith the answer of God unto him? I have reserved to myself seven thousand men, who have not bowed the knee to the image of Baal.5Even so then at this present time also there is a remnant according to the election of grace.

O.      God has not cast away all Jews. God has a remnant, saved by Grace.

A.      God will cast away all sinners, all sinners no matter their tribe, nation or kindred, for only grace received through Christ will justify.

P.       Father; forgive my sin, wash me clean. I set my affection on you, to please you in all ways. Keep me always before your throne. Amen.

11-10-2014         Mark 9:2-10

S.       2 And after six days Jesus taketh with him Peter, and James, and John, and leadeth them up into an high mountain apart by themselves: and he was transfigured before them.3 And his raiment became shining, exceeding white as snow; so as no fuller on earth can white them.4 And there appeared unto them Elias with Moses: and they were talking with Jesus.5 And Peter answered and said to Jesus, Master, it is good for us to be here: and let us make three tabernacles; one for thee, and one for Moses, and one for Elias.6 For he wist not what to say; for they were sore afraid.7 And there was a cloud that overshadowed them: and a voice came out of the cloud, saying, This is my beloved Son: hear him.8 And suddenly, when they had looked round about, they saw no man any more, save Jesus only with themselves.9 And as they came down from the mountain, he charged them that they should tell no man what things they had seen, till the Son of man were risen from the dead.10 And they kept that saying with themselves, questioning one with another what the rising from the dead should mean.

O.      Three disciple witness Jesus transfigured and visiting with Moses and Elias. Since these two prophets were long dead, the disciples were not able to understand this experience. Jesus gave instructions for the disciples to keep silent about this experience and that they would understand the meaning at a later date.

A.      I must trust God and obey God even when I don’t have good understanding of what he is doing. This is a high level of faith and comes through prayer and fasting. I am a limited being, serving a un-limited God.

P.       Father; give me more faith as I surrender to your perfect will for my life. Use me in any way you see fit. Amen.
