Let's stop worrying about what everyone else is doing

“… This “insider world” is not our home. We have our eyes peeled for the City about to come. Let’s take our place outside with Jesus, no longer pouring out the sacrificial blood of animals but pouring out sacrificial praises from our lips to God in Jesus’ name.”
-Hebrews 13:13-15 MSG


Since the world isn’t spending eternity doing what we are doing, wondering what we are doing, or wanting to do what we are doing, then we truly need to stop doing the same - trying so hard to fit in and pretending to be people we were not meant to be.  Friends, Jesus made us who we are and that’s that – period!

Therefore, spend your precious time worrying about eternity with Christ: be yourself fully and honestly, taking  your priceless time living the pleasant and enjoyable life God has graciously given you.

Simply love - a life open to God

The whole point of what we’re urging is simply love - love uncontaminated by self interest and counterfeit faith, a life open to God.” 
-1 Timothy 1:5-7

Simple LOVE - the kind of love given to us by God - nothing added, nothing taken away; no judgement, no critique - no end.

Who's the real fool?

“… you didn’t lie to men, but to God.”  
Acts 5:1-2

My friends, let’s get real, let’s give up our façades, let’s stand up to the plate and start telling the truth.  It is time to seek God’s approval - not our own, not man’s.  

Remember, when we are playing fake, when we are lying, and when we are running from the truth, there is only one being fooled – and that one fool is ourselves.

Pretending

“Don’t just pretend that you love others: really love them…” 
-Romans 12:9-10

Although some people are much easier to love than others, we still need to do our best to show patience and kindness and a warm empathy towards them; we need to shine with love.  

Friends, as God’s chosen children let’s make it a point to be a difference maker and shine ever-so-brightly so that the darkness’s of this world cannot overtake; let’s make it a point to shine ever-so-brightly so that we, too, do not find ourselves on the bandwagon shooting right towards the pit of darkness, right into the hands and home of Satan himself.

No pretending

“Don’t just pretend that you love others: really love them…” Romans 12:9-10

Although some people are much easier to love than others, we still need to do our best to show patience and kindness and a warm empathy towards them; we need to shine with love.  Friends, if we don’t jump off the bandwagon of hate and judgement, then we are joining the darkness, which only heads one way – straight to Hell!   

So, as God’s chosen children let’s make it a point to be a difference maker and shine ever-so-brightly so that the darkness’s of this world cannot overtake; let’s make it a point to shine ever-so-brightly so that we, too, do not find ourselves on the bandwagon shooting right towards the pit of darkness, right into the hands and home of Satan himself.

Real or fake?

"... So Jesus spoke to them: "You are masters at making yourselves look good in front of others, but God knows what's behind the appearance..."  Luke 16:14-18 MSG

We cannot hide from God, nor can our real selves be hidden from others forever.  Therefore, let's all do ourselves a favor and just be the unique, gifted, corny, beings that we are, letting the glory of Jesus shine through all of our quirks, weaknesses, and mistakes.  We will definitely be a lot better off if we do.

Just ask! Be direct!

"Ask and you'll get; 
Seek and you'll find; 
Knock and the door will open.

"Don't bargain with God.  Be direct.  Ask for what you need.  This is not a cat-and-mouse, hide-and-seek game we're in..." 
(Luke 11:9-13 MSG)

Stop playing around: Simply ask God for what you need, ask in the name of Jesus, thank and praise Him that it will come to pass, and move on.  No phony bologna!  Just ask!  Be direct!

Outside-in

"... Scour the insides, and then the gleaming surface will mean something."  Matthew 23:26 MSG

In other words:  Don't be a phony!

It's not worth it.  Being phony takes a lot of needless time, effort, money...SIN, and all it leads to is the depths of darkness and hell, Satan's home.
