Simply Scripture: How Do You Receive the Word?

Mark 4:3-20 KJV

Hearken; Behold, there went out a sower to sow: And it came to pass, as he sowed, some fell by the way side, and the fowls of the air came and devoured it up. And some fell on stony ground, where it had not much earth; and immediately it sprang up, because it had no depth of earth: But when the sun was up, it was scorched; and because it had no root, it withered away. And some fell among thorns, and the thorns grew up, and choked it, and it yielded no fruit. And other fell on good ground, and did yield fruit that sprang up and increased; and brought forth, some thirty, and some sixty, and some an hundred. And he said unto them, He that hath ears to hear, let him hear. And when he was alone, they that were about him with the twelve asked of him the parable. And he said unto them, Unto you it is given to know the mystery of the kingdom of God: but unto them that are without, all these things are done in parables: That seeing they may see, and not perceive; and hearing they may hear, and not understand; lest at any time they should be converted, and their sins should be forgiven them. And he said unto them, Know ye not this parable? and how then will ye know all parables? The sower soweth the word. And these are they by the way side, where the word is sown; but when they have heard, Satan cometh immediately, and taketh away the word that was sown in their hearts. And these are they likewise which are sown on stony ground; who, when they have heard the word, immediately receive it with gladness; And have no root in themselves, and so endure but for a time: afterward, when affliction or persecution ariseth for the word’s sake, immediately they are offended. And these are they which are sown among thorns; such as hear the word, And the cares of this world, and the deceitfulness of riches, and the lusts of other things entering in, choke the word, and it becometh unfruitful. And these are they which are sown on good ground; such as hear the word, and receive it, and bring forth fruit, some thirtyfold, some sixty, and some an hundred.

Sinning: Ain’t Nobody Got Time For That!!!

Sin! The devil is one crafty being and my old preacher once told me he has a 100% success rate! Not one person with knowledge of right and wrong can say they haven’t sinned.

People who desire to serve the Lord have this struggle and it is hard. I don’t have the answer on how to keep from sinning or how to remove that one sin you can’t shake. However I can offer you one school of thought.

If you are too busy serving God and being productive, you AIN’T GOT TIME FOR SIN!!!

They say idle hands are the devil’s workshop. You might develop more freetime to do wrong if you don’t develop freetime to do right.

The Bible tells us not to use our freedoms as an opportunity to sin. We have to be good stewards of God’s gifts: time is one of them.

Get busy. Specifically get busy serving the Lord. If you find leisure time use it to read your Bible, study. The more active you are, you will find you don’t have time for sin.

Blessings in your Christian walk,

Earning Hell

For the wages of sin is death. Ever thought about that? Wages? We associate wages with something earned. If you work for eight hours, you are guaranteed wages. They pay you for what you’ve done. Many of us work HARD for those wages.

But we’re talking about sin. Have you ever found yourself working hard to sin? Think about it. It requires effort sometimes to go against God. Some of us go out of our way to find an opportunity to sin. We make efforts to block out God long enough to do wrong. We expend energy trying to cover it up to keep people from finding out. We work hard to be who we are not. We weren’t meant to follow satan. We were made to love God give Him glory.

But after all the work to achieve that sInstant gratification, it never is really worth it. Is it? In fact you end up feeling dirty, impure, stained. What’s more you have put in work towards the only wages promised—death. Spiritual death.Eternal separation from God. You will actually EARN this. You deserve this.

What if we looked at sin this way? It really wouldn’t be worth the effort would it? It would seem rather pointless. Right? Like why bother?

But do work diligently to know what God expects of us by reading His word. Work hard to live right. Work hard to save the lost. Work hard to help others. And even then you cannot EARN heaven. But God’s grace was shown that His son became the ultimate sacrifice to save us from our sins and death that we deserve. That free gift, if accepted is better than working hard for a spot in hell.

Romans 6:23 KJV

For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.

Zealous? But for what?

http://bible.com/1/ROM10.1.KJV Brethren, my heart’s desire and prayer to God for Israel is, that they might be saved. For I bear them record that they have a zeal of God, but not according to knowledge. For they being ignorant of God’s righteousness, and going about to establish their own righteousness, have not submitted themselves unto the righteousness of God. For Christ is the end of the law for righteousness to every one that believeth.

Do you know people like this? Perhaps this is you. Or me. Everybody has a cause or something they totally believe in. It drives them. It sometimes consumes them. But when it is not in harmony with God’s will, what becomes of such admired drive and commitment?

Paul the apostle was very much committed to persecuting the Christian people in the name of God! Was he focused? Yes? Zealous? Very? Did God approve? No. Jesus had to step in and redirect all that beautiful energy the right way. We may need that same redirection.

I know you are focused. You fight with a fervent desire unlike any other. Do it in knowledge. Do it in wisdom. Make it truly mean something. Read God’s word and find out His will for you.

Blessings,
