Where Does The Bible Say That?

Tuesday's Devotion (3-11-08)

"But as we were allowed of God to be put in trust with the gospel, even so we speak; not as pleasing men, but God, which trieth our hearts." 1 Thessalonians 2:4 (KJV)

The truth is never to be changed to please man or anyone... The Bible is the very truth of God, God has entrusted us with His Word. Woe to those who betray the trust that God has put in you! When you betray God's trust, you betray your own soul. The Word of God is not to be altered. I have said things here on this site that people have not been pleased with, and I'll continue to do that not because I want to anger people... But because the Word of God isn't always what people want to hear, but it's what they need to hear and I don't want to anger God. I'm not going to change God's Word for you to feel better... Might make you feel better, but I'm not going to feel better for it! And the truth is, you won't either in the long run. It doesn't do anyone any real favors to twist the Word of God (Except the devil.) Who here wants to do the devil a favor? I sure don't!

It's important that we as believers KNOW the Word of God that nobody can lie to us about it. But even if we know the Word of God, people who twist it are still going out and lying to people who don't know the Word of God. That's why it's important for the true shepards of God's flock to get out there and round up the sheep and tell them the truth. It's sad some people are so deceived by what they want to believe... Deceived by what they want to believe. They're so deceived by it that they go to churches that teach it too. They find other people who are deceived by it too just to feel good about their lies. I mean what Bible reading Christian can TRULY believe that homosexuality is not a sin? The truth on this matter is all throughout the scriptures. I'm not looking to get into that subject, but it was the easiest example of people who are deceived by what they want to believe. The other side of that coin is a good example too... People who believe we should hate someone or a certain group of people (Homosexuals for example.) WHERE IN THE BIBLE DOES IT SAY WE SHOULD HATE ANYONE? I can't find that verse anywhere! It's easy to twist scripture, even easier to get someone who wants to justify their sin to believe your lies. But by lying to them what good are you doing? Think you're going to get a reward for that? You're going to be punished for it! Eternally punished for it, if you don't repent of it. Stop trying re-write God's book to make it more suitable for your lifestyle! Instead start re-writing your lifestyle to fit God's book.

Prayer: Dear Heavenly Father, thank you for this message and for all things. Please forgive us of all our sins as we forgive all those who've sinned against us. Please help us to obey your Word and to share your Word with others how it should be shared and that's unchanged. In Jesus name. A-men!
