The “I’m only human” Trap (CMP QUICKIE)

It’s been a long time. Sorry for the wait. Here’s a quick snack to chew on…

Try not to take too much comfort in the statement, “I’m a work in progress”. We all have that one thing or those things in our lives or in our character that can keep us from fully being pleasing to God. Take those things seriously.

We like to say, “I’m only human”; however, Jesus said His yoke is easy and His burden is light. His commands are not burdensome. This means He wouldn’t expect something from us that He didn’t think we couldn’t do. He also said no temptation is out of the ordinary for the common man… paraphrasing… What I’m saying is we can all come out of ANY sinful state and truly repent, that is, turn away and walk completely the OPPOSITE direction of your sin. You just…WE just have to TURN AROUND and WALK AWAY. It comes down to how bad you want it — MORE IMPORTANTLY, it comes down to how strong your faith is.

If we are truly to believe that our God is alive and loves us and watches over us and heaven is a REAL and TANGIBLE reward, you will successfully make the choice to eliminate that sin from your life and do it quickly. THAT is definitely a work in progress. Endeavor to keep building your FAITH. Faith drives EVERYTHING. But don’t rest on your, “God knows my heart” and “I’m only human”.

It’s only a matter of time before that simply becomes less of a challenge and more of an excuse to keep going on as you are, thus costing you eternal life.

Church Shopping?

There are groups of people that don’t believe in “organized religion” and don’t see the value in being attached to any church assembly. Okay. But for those that realize the blessing of assembling with others of like precious faith, how did you arrive at the congregation where you now worship?

Let’s hope it was not for the following reasons…

1. Entertaining: The band plays hip Christian music, the preacher is so eloquent and energetic and you just feel so, well, entertained.

2. My family and friends have always attended: Fam and friends are there so it just makes sense. Plus it must be right if they are there.

3. Tolerance: They accept anybody. Meaning you can be a Christian and live any way you like and they won’t judge you or hold you accountable. They don’t bother me if I miss church. Overall loving family.

Let’s hope you are with this congregation for these reasons…

1. Sound doctrine. The beliefs, acts of worship, the things taught from the pulpit and in the classrooms are rooted in Biblical scripture and example. This is what makes it work. If your goal is to be in line with God’s word, you will be sure to worship where everyone else seeks the same thing.

2. Great godly workers. Every single part of the body of Christ must be actively working. They are all important. And they inspire others to good works. This helps the church grow.

3. Biblical leadership. Christ is the head of the church. The Bible highlights how the leadership structure should be. If it ain’t that, might want to re-examine things.

4. Family love. Rejoicing with those who rejoice and weeping with those who weep. Gentle rebuke of a brother who goes astray. Support and exhortation. We should be a family in Christ. Seek that.

You value worship and understand the weight that how you serve the Lord carries. You’re trying to get to heaven right? Make the effort to assemble with those of like precious faith.

Don’t just waste your life and afterlife just mindlessly sitting in the pew. Study your word to make certain you’re in the right place.

Just some friendly advice from your Christian Music Pusher.
