You Can Have It Your Way

I've heard people say, "If God does not want me to do this, He can stop me." Well, God didn’t want Moses to hit the rock, but God didn’t stop Moses either. You see God had already told Moses what to do. Moses disobeyed and did not make it into the Promised Land either. It is the same thing today. God has already told us what to do. We just need to do it. If not, we live with the consequences.

I have no argument with you. You want to get a divorce. God said don’t do it. You do it and reap the consequences. God said don’t murder. Look at the havoc it wreaks in others and one's own life. God's Word states don’t look at the wine when it is red in the cup. Go ahead you can drink it to excess. Check how many DUI's are issued in your city or how many people are killed on an average weekend.

God also stated many positive things to do. Rejoice always. Live at peace. Find a wife. Eat with gratefulness. Come into His presence with singing. God stated this is the way walk in it. We have a responsibility to live in the truth we have. God has already stated what He wants us to do. Now the ball is in our court.

Elisha, The Provision is in the Obedience

Sometimes I've felt that I've only had very little to give so why give it at all. This morning the thought came to me "All you you have is all you need to give." This thought came as I was reading the following passage in II Kings 4: 42 A man came from Baal Salishah, bringing the man of God twenty loaves of barley bread baked from the first ripe grain. "Give it to the people to eat, "Elisha said. 43 " How can I set this before a hundred men?" his servant asked. But Elisha answered, "Give it to the people to eat," For this is what the Lord says:" They will eat and have some left over" 44Then he set it before them and they ate and had some left over, according to the word of the Lord. This man only had twenty loaves to give to the prophet. The principle at work is: All that we have is all that we need to give. When we obey, God gives the increase. There are many examples in the Bible of this principle in action: Like the widow at ...

Police Officers, Ministers of God

When I was a child my father told me that police officers were ministers of God. Indeed this was not just his opinion. This is verified by the Scriptures: The police aren't there just to be admired in their uniforms. God also has an interest in keeping order and he uses them to do it. (Message Bible) Therefore it was very hard a few minutes ago to read that on this peaceful Sunday morning south of Seattle, four policemen were shot execution style. Not a month ago a police officer was killed in Seattle under similar circumstances. These killings are troubling. They point to a fundamental breakdown in respect towards authority in our country. We are seeing this disrespect towards authority on a daily basis. When we have a news commentator, under the guise of free speech, implying that it would be alright to kill the president we have a new level of contempt towards those in authority. The same Scripture that tells us police are ministers of God tells us that our rulers are ordained,...
