Unredeemable

~ Sherry ~ 2 Comments

Paganism is unredeemable. God required the Israelites to completely annihilate all that belonged to pagan idolatry so that there would be no amount of influence to worship Him in like manner. In Acts 19:19 we see the new converts obeying God in this:

A number who had practiced sorcery brought their scrolls together and burned them publicly. When they calculated the value of the scrolls, the total came to fifty thousand drachmas.

(if we could incorporate paganism into our worship of God, or, if we could christianize paganism, wouldn’t this be the time to mention it to the new converts?)

There are two types of worship by mankind-to the enemy of our souls, Satan, or to the lover of our souls, our Redeemer, the Lord Jesus Christ, the only true God.

As Matthew Henry said, “If Satan gets but half of you, he gets all of you. If God gets but half of you, He will have none of you.” It’s time to destroy all of the pagan/papist traditions and rituals from our worship to God.

Truth Established

Sherry's avatarHe Hath Said

The lip of truth shall be established for ever; but a lying tongue is but for a moment. -Proverbs 12:19

Truth wears well. Time tests it, but it right well endures the trial. When, I have spoken the truth and have for the present to suffer for it, I must be content to wait. If also I believe the truth of God and endeavor to declare it, I may meet with much opposition, but I need not fear, for ultimately the truth must prevail.

What a poor thing is the temporary triumph of falsehood! “A lying lip is but for a moment!” It is a mere gourd which comes up in a night and perishes in a night; and the greater its development the more manifest its decay. On the other hand, how worthy of an immortal being is the avowal and defense of that truth which can never change; the…

The Idols of Our Heart

~ Sherry ~ Leave a comment

When God commands us not to have anything to do with idols and idolotrous practices in the worship of Him and we continue to do it (for we are emotionally attached to these pagan/papist traditions of men “holy” days!) then we are holding onto idols that are an abomination in His sight.  As painful as it may be we must rid ourselves of all idolotry for our Lord’s sake, for what has He to do with the admixture of Christo-paganism? Let’s stop worshipping our idols-X Mass and Easter- which is all about another “Jesus.”

Importance of Small Things in Religion

“The Lord our God made a breach upon us, for that we sought Him not after the due order.” 1 Chronicles 15:13

Suggested Further Reading: 1 Samuel 13:8-14

When we come before God, it will be no excuse for us to say, “My Lord, I did wrong, but I thought I was doing right.” “Yes, but I gave you my law, but you did not read it; or, if you read it, you read it so carelessly that you did not understand it, and then you did wrong, and you tell me you did it with a right motive. Yes, but it is of no avail whatever.” Just as in Uzzah’s case, did it not seem the rightest thing in the world to put out his hand to prevent the ark from slipping off? Who could blame the man? But God had commanded that no unpriestly hand should ever touch it, and inasmuch as he did touch it, though it was with a right motive, yet Uzzah must die. God will have His laws kept. Besides, my dear brethren, I am not sure about the rightness of your motives after all. The State has issued a proclamation, it is engraven, according to the old Roman fashion, in brass. A man goes up with his file, and he begins working away upon the brass; erases here, and amends there. Says he, “I did that with a right motive; I didn’t think the law a good one, I thought it was too old-fashioned for these times, and so I thought I would alter it a little and make it better for the people.” Ah, how many have there been who have said, “The old puritanic principles are too rough for these times; we’ll alter them, we’ll tone them down a little.” What are you at, sir? Who are you that dares to touch a single letter of God’s Book?

For meditation: Sincerity needs to be allied to truth (Joshua 24:14). It is possible to be sincerely wrong (John 16:2; Acts 26:9; Romans 10:2).
