Full Heads, Empty Hearts

~ Sherry ~ 10 Comments

A needed exhortation for both those who know God’s Word concerning the observing of pagan/papist/traditions of men and those who don’t know (or don’t care to know).  Prayerfully and humbly watch this video and learn what God would have us to know in our relation to our beloved brethren with the knowledge we have been given:

“He does not know that he does not know” that he is arrogant. This is why we must be prayerful when correcting others. Pray for God’s heart in the matter. We need to be mindful of our attitude-are we arrogant with the knowledge we have? Are we wanting to be right and do we have to get the last word in? Can we say what must be said, using God’s Word and His wisdom of approach, then leave it at that even if they reviled us? Are we willing to be corrected without taking offense? Can we not take offense though our corrector is wrong? Watchmen must be on their knees in prayer at all times that God may be glorified and not ourselves. Once we say what needs to be said, and have lovingly answered questions and have overlooked insults (and there will be those false accusations!) then we leave it with our Lord-its His work, not ours.

Principles From Pilate’s Life

~ Sherry ~ 2 Comments

From the post, “Christmas-Perpetuating the Lie”:

We as human beings are very influenced by our peers. Christmas has been one of those issues for me. I feel it’s time to share, with those who would be interested to hear, why I do not celebrate Christmas. Maybe a better way of saying it would be why I try not to celebrate Christmas. It seems to me that there is something supernatural “surrounding” the celebration of Christmas, because the pull to conform is incredible. This is what the Lord has shown me:…

There are certain principles to be gleaned from the life of Pilate. Years ago as I was seeking the Lord about celebrating Christmas I was led to study the following. I believe the principles apply. There are many reasons why we don’t do what we know to be right. The following excerpts are from the study notes of the New Life Application Bible:

“For Pilate there was never a doubt about Jesus’ innocence.

Pilate went against what he knew was right.

Pilate chose the easier path rather than standing up against the crowd.

Pilate’s greatest sin was compromising what he knew to be true and right for the sake of position, status, and personal gain.

Pilate had no good excuse to condemn Jesus, but he was afraid of the mob.

In making no decision, Pilate made the decision to let the crowds crucify Jesus. Although he washed his hands, the guilt remained. Washing your hands of a tough situation doesn’t cancel your guilt. It merely gives you a false sense of peace. Don’t make excuses – take responsibility for the decisions you make.”

God Is Grieving with a Broken Heart Today

Ezekiel 6:9- And they that escape of you shall remember Me among the nations whither they shall be carried captives, because I am broken with their whorish heart, which hath departed from Me, and with their eyes, which go a whoring after their idols: and they shall lothe themselves for the evils which they have committed in all their abominations.

Deuteronomy 12:30-31 “Take heed to thyself that thou be not snared by following them, after that they be destroyed from before thee; and that thou enquire not after their gods, saying, How did these nations serve their gods? even so will I do likewise.” Thou shalt not do so unto the LORD thy God: for every abomination to the LORD, which He hateth, have they done unto their gods; for even their sons and their daughters they have burnt in the fire to their gods. 32What thing soever I command you, observe to do it: thou shalt not add thereto, nor diminish from it.

1 Corinthians 10:11- Now all these things happened unto them (God’s Hebrew children) for ensamples: and they are written for our admonition, upon whom the ends of the world are come.

1 John 5:21- Little children, keep yourselves from idols. Amen. (bold mine for emphasis)
