Stop Abusing Grace



"Wherein in time past ye walked according to the course of this world, according to the prince of the power of the air, the spirit that now worketh in the children of disobedience: Among whom also we all had our conversation in times past in the lusts of our flesh, fulfilling the desires of the flesh and of the mind; and were by nature the children of wrath, even as others." (Ephesians 2:2-3)

Beware the Humanist, Hip Hop, "New Grace Flavor in Your Ear" Prosperity Gospel of the Princedom (Hunter 2013). Jesus, not Moses, said "Enter ye in at the strait gate: for wide is the gate, and broad is the way, that leadeth to destruction, and many there be which go in thereat: Because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it." (Matthew 7:13-14) It appeases the flesh to give the Law the thumb. Yet, "Be not deceived; God is not mocked: for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap." (Galatians 6:7) Someone's life depends upon what is being said. Only an enemy would allow you to walk into a trap without warning. Ice Cube put it this way; "You'd better check yourself before you wreck yourself!" No matter who says a thing, when it's right, it is just right. When it comes to obeying God's will according to His holy Word (Leviticus 11:44, 1 Peter 1:16), even Yoda's wisdom rings true - "Do or do not... there is no try."

She Loves Me


“Wherever your treasure is, there the desires of your heart will also be.” (Matthew 6:21)

She loves me. She loves me not. The deer thirsts for the water brook and so he seeks and moves steadily toward that for which his desire is great (Psalm 42:1). God so loved the world that He gave His best gift (John 3:16) despite the ensuing hurt and shame (Hebrews 12:2). What is that part of a bride’s heart which, if not fully surrendered, shall prevent boundless intimacy from blooming within the blessed covenantal union whereby God’s ultimate grace is poured out upon His beloved? If her heart is even partially elsewhere, how can total praise be given to the one?

“If no mistake have you made, yet losing you are ... a different game you should play.” (YODA, Shatterpoint - Star Wars Episode III: Revenge of the Sith ~ the novel) Know therefore who it is you are courting and pay even closer attention to who is courting you back… God is undeniably omniscient and sees all, especially the thoughts and intents of those created by Him (Psalm 33:13) and divided by His quick, most powerful, and holy Word (Hebrews 4:12). Selah!

“O taste and see that the LORD is good: blessed is the man that trusteth in him.” (Psalm 34:8)
