Bible
“I only know that in every city the Holy Spirit warns me that prison and hardships are facing me. However, I consider my life worth nothing to me; my only aim is to finish the race and complete the task the Lord Jesus has given me—the task of testifying to the good news of God’s grace.”
Acts 20:23-24 NIV
I give you this charge: Preach the word; be prepared in season and out of season; correct, rebuke and encourage—with great patience and careful instruction.
For the time will come when people will not put up with sound doctrine. Instead, to suit their own desires, they will gather around them a great number of teachers to say what their itching ears want to hear.”
2 Timothy 4:1-3 NIV
From politics to toilet tissue, ads sell anything and everything they think you want to know about their product with little regard for the truth.
And honestly, politics and toilet paper are the same genre.
You want the truth?
You can’t handle the truth.
Preach, correct, rebuke, and encourage is what believers desperately need, but given the option, they all too often take it and reject it in the same heartbeat.
Long haul Christians clearly understand the price that comes with their faith, subjugate their own desires, and opt for the road less traveled.
They have trained themselves to recognize truth from lies, good from evil, and right from wrong.
Particularly in these later days, these people are the least popular leaders bearing the least popular message in the most consequential human era.
The road is narrow.
Enter through the narrow gate. For wide is the gate and broad is the road that leads to destruction, and many enter through it. But small is the gate and narrow the road that leads to life, and only a few find it”.
Matthew 17:13-14 NIV
Today’s choices are more weighty than ever for yourself and your family.
Who do you allow in your inner circle to teach and advise?
Choose wisely.
I am Jesus Christ
and I approve this message.
