What We Can Take From The Redwood Tree Part 1

    Many churches, across the U.S. and beyond, have members that are not totally committed to Our Lord Jesus Christ and His gospel, which was given to us by the Holy Spirit on behalf of  the apostles. False doctrines of false teachers have also crept in misled many believers. I have to talked to people who are professing believers in a span of five years I have been saved, and there are many times where I have to say, What are you talking about! That's not the gospel! Do you actually believe that! I meet new people in my life everyday that claim they are saved in Jesus Christ but no evidence of the Holy Spirit. If you ask some of these people, "What we are we saved from?" They couldn't even answer that. Its important to take a "slow cook approach" on assuming people are your brothers and sisters in Christ just because they say Jesus Christ is Lord. Examine the fruits of professing brothers and sisters and especially yourself. If there are practices that you are doing that the Holy Spirit tugs at your heart about, repent and then help others who struggle with the same areas. Excommunication practices in your church-home will manifest the truth of rather or not this/these person(s) are truly sincere. Now when it comes to false teaching, it really hits home for me because my church-home experienced some false doctrine. I will talk about that in part 2 of this post, but below are scriptures that help you understand and protect your church-home.

The California Redwood Tree Story

  A redwood tree fell in a California forest. It was four hundred years old. It wasn't destroyed by lightning. Storms had come and gone, Bent by their force , but never uprooted. The tree didn't fall to fire. It had stood when others collapsed.

  What destroyed the Redwood?

  Insects. Termiteds devoured it from within. It had stood for four centuries against the elements from without, but collapsed because of an attack within. Hmmm... To be continued...

Starting My First Post With A Prayer

    Lord God of the Heavens and the Earth. Our Refuge, our Fortress, our Shield. We give you praise, for you have protected us from the evil one and his schemes. We stay married to the promise that you would keep us, and will not let us go astray.Glory to the Lamb of God, Lord Jesus Christ, for following the Will of God. Thank-you Lord Jesus!

     I ask, for all the saints around the world, that you keep us under your wings Lord God. Holy Spirit comfort us through our persecutions and our battles with temptations. For this generation curse their mother and father, use their tongues as razors, are right in their own eyes, arrogant, and are in love with greed. They taunt us and tease us for they don't know you. Yet I say forgive them Father for they know not what they do. Without your Grace we would be just like them. Call out to your lost children; awaken them from there slumber. For this generation is blindly submitting to the man who carries seven abominations of God in his  pocket, who has yet to be revealed. It is revealed in your Word that these men and women will one day see your Wrath if they don't turn from their sins. I know that one day Mercy will fall into the sunset and the darkest gloom will come upon the unregenerate. Let your will be done on Earth as it is in Heaven as we wait for our savior Jesus Christ.
