great post

The gospel is not good advice from man; it's good news from God. Only God would provide such a message. Marvel at it.~ Tony Merida
I loved this post today on twitter by Tony I spent some time just reflecting on it and I would encourage you to do the same.

some things never change

You have let go of the commands of God and are holding onto the traditions of men. ~ Mark 7:8 
Jesus told the pharisees this and they didn't get it and here we are 2,000 year later struggling with the same issues. It is true as the Bible says nothing is new under the sun.

denounced by man

The way of the Lord is just!
As followers of Christ we will be denounced constantly. The world wants us to follow man, to uplift man, to worship man. As followers of Christ we have to deny OURSELVES, this goes against our very core. we fight today the same thing that man has fought since the beginning of time, we fight they very thing that lead to Satan downfall, lifting our selves up above or equality to God.
So in obeying God we will always be in the way of ourselves, this keeps us humble and constantly on our knees relying on the Lord. lord let's us obey you, let us be denounced by man to give you the glory!

a thought

I have been reading Love Wins by Rob Bell, wow I can't believe a pastor and teacher can actually believe this stuff. Every reference he used in reverence to Israel and why there is no hell had to do with captivity and nothing else.
According to him nothing matter we get endless chances, so why bother why not live up life, why serve God. If we truly get chance after chance after chance why serve God why not self now and God later.
If there is no consequence why serve?
Why are we called to be salt and light, why are we called to tell others about Christ? If we get endless opportunities for all of eternity to get it right why bother now? It is beyond me that people can read the Bible and actually believe that there is no Hell and that we can live how we want to now. It is just beyond me the selfishness of the human nature. When one is engrossed in the word of God how can we be all about ourselves?
We have got to get over ourselves and we need to be about God giving him all the glory. When this happens I believe these false truths will begin to fade away.
