Look away from self and turn to Christ!

Look not to yourselves! You are by nature wretched, miserable, poor, blind and naked; you cannot make atonement for your past transgressions, you cannot wipe out a single page in that long black list. And when the King shall ask you for your wedding garment you will be speechless. Look simply unto Jesus, and then the weight shall fall from off your shoulders, the course shall be clear and plain, and you shall run the race which is set before you.

Run from gospels that focus only on success and prosperity!  Run!
Run from those who use the name of Christ only for personal gain!
Run from those who are picking your pocket in the name of Jesus! Run!
Run from gospels that only focus on self improvement! Run!
Run from Churches where men and not Christ are glorified!  Run! RUN!
Run body of Christ!  Get out!  Don’t touch the unclean thing!
Run from Churches where there’s no Bible!

There’s no cost in the theology!
There’s no soul searching word!
There’s no repentance from Sin!
There’s no mention of the blood of Jesus!
RUN!!  It’s unclean!  RUN!!!!

Run from Churches where you’re comfortable in your sins!
If you come into the house of God and you’ve got sin in your life and you’re not convicted of it you’re at a table of devils!
Run from pulpits that are filled with political men who are using the pulpit of God for a personal, political agenda!  RUN!
Run from those who preach division between race and cultures! RUN!!!
RUN!  GET OUT! TURN IT OFF!  GET AWAY FROM IT! THEY KNOW NOTHING OF GOD!

Run from ungodly spasmodic movements and endless empty prophesying!  Beloved Church, run for life!
Run from preachers that stand and tell stories and jokes!  RUN LIKE YOU’VE NEVER RUN BEFORE!
RUN!
RUN!
RUN!!!!!

Why should I resist sin if God uses it for good?

I know a lot of you may not struggle with this issue, but it’s definitely worth listening to.  John makes some really powerful statements and reasoning’s in his answer that every Christian should hear.

Has God predetermined every detail in the universe, including sin?

Total Dependance on God’s Words

Posted by JeremyT on Apr 22, 2010 in J.C. Ryle, Quotes | 0 comments

There must be a real heartfelt belief that God’s promises are sure and to be depended on – a real belief that what God says in the Bible is all true and that every doctrine contrary to this is false, whatever anyone may say. There must be a real belief that all God’s words are to be received, however hard and disagreeable to flesh and blood, and that His way is right and all others wrong. This there must be, or you will never come out from the world, take up the cross, follow Christ and be saved.
