One Way

Acts 4:12, Salvation is found in no one else, for there is no other under heaven given to men by which we must be saved. 

There is only one way to heaven. Through Salvation through Christ Jesus with obedience to His word.
You are probably thinking, "Yeah, I know, I've been told this many times in church before." Well, maybe you have, and maybe you know that this is true, but why is it that we live like we want to all week, and throw in Bible reading and prayer every once in a while? When you do that, you are living like there is more than one way to heaven.

Think about that statement for a minute.

Do you live like there is more than one way to heaven? Do you do your own thing, and say your a christian and still think that you are following the one way to heaven rule? We have just established that the only way to heaven is through Christ Jesus, so why do we think that it's worth it to watch rated R movies, or violent movies? Can you get to heaven through those movies? No. Why do we think it's worth it to listen to secular music with sex and swearing in it? Is the kingdom of heaven worth your Katy Perry, or Eminem playlist?

"Now now! Are you bashing my favorite artist?"

I am telling you that in the word, it says to keep a pure mind, and heart. How is it possible to keep a pure mind, if you are filling your mind and heart with junk that will circulate through you and pollute you to the extreme? 2 Corinthians 10:5 says, "Casting down imaginations, and every high thing that exalteth itself against the knowledge of God, and bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ." How are you going to captivate every thought to Christ when you are filling yourself with swearing, violence and sexual lyrics?

Again, you are living like there is more than one way to heaven if you are in complete disobedience to God's word. So throw away all ungodliness!! Throw it far away, and never take it back up again. Your salvation is worth far more than Pornography. Your salvation is worth FAR more than a bad movie. Your salvation is worth far more than a girl/boy that you want to sleep with. Your salvation is worth far more than a rap song with swearing in it. Let God convict you in these areas of your life, and re-examine who is number one in your life. Video games? Music? Movies? Or God?

I'm praying for you.

Getting Comfortable

Matthew 21:43, So I tell you that the kingdom of God will be taken away from you and given to people who do the things God wants in His kingdom. 


"To do.... Read a bible verse.... Check. Go to church on Sunday....... Check, Prayed once today...... Check! Okay! I'm fine with God then. My check list is complete."

Sorry to break it to you guys, but Christianity is not that easy. Matthew 21:43 says that if you are not doing the things of His will, His commandments as issued in the bible, then he will not hesitate to take the Kingdom of God away from you.

This verse truly is frightening. Sometimes Christians think we have heaven made by just reading our bible, praying, not rolling our eyes at our bosses, saying yes Ma'am to our moms when they lecture us. But in all reality, this is not the case. You may think that once you have committed your name to Jesus that you are good for the rest of your lives, well you'd be wrong. Look at Revelation chapter three verse five where it says, "All who are victorious will be clothed in white, I will never erase their names from the Book of Life, but I will announce before my Father and His Angels that they are mine."

Don't ever get "comfortable" with Christ. We are always to respectfully fear the God who created the Universe, and follow His commands with reverence and obedience. My mom always says, "I have to be your mother first, then I can be your friend." The same goes for God. "He always must take Father status first in disciplining and correcting and leading us as a body of Christ, then we can only be friends with him through obedience, and ONLY through obedience.

Simply do the things of His kingdom always. Look for things to do for His kingdom. Something can ALWAYS be done. From as small as cleaning your room, (Yes, even God likes a clean room), to as big as feeding a army of homeless people. Always remember to never get lazy in your walk. God is our Lord and Savior. And a lot of people forget that he is our Lord, and they only want to claim him as Savior. Well, you cannot do that. He is our Savior, but he must be Lord of our lives first.

Continue to follow God in your walks with Christ. I'm always praying for my readers.
