Who Are You Listening To?

Reflection: Who Are You Listening To?


Inspiration: God instructs Believers to judge other believers. Yet, why do so many Christians say we are not to judge? The ones who say we are not to judge are choosing to be disobedient. I am not perfect byfar. I have been guilty of turning a blind eye and deaf ear. I do not always do what I am supposed to do either. I even ceased attending church because I was hurt in the church. I started believing the lies that all I need is to watch sermons in the comfort of my home on TV. However, if that were ALL I needed, then I wouldn't have falling into a BACK-SLIDEN State. However, this is why the Lord wants us to NOT cease our assembling together as believers. We need to go to church. Not just to be taught and fellowship. But to also hold each other ACCOUNTABLE. If you keep yourself isolated and watch church on TV, who checks you on your mess? Yes, God sees ALL. This is true. But He also knows we need each other. He gave us all a GIFT to share with each other and He wants us to be surrounded with like-minded people - BELIEVERS IN CHRIST JESUS. If you remove yourself from the church, then you are surrounded by whom? The LOST. Don't be fooled by the lies of the devil. You need church and the church needs you. So if you have "itching ears", I suggest you wash them with the WORD of GOD. Anything else, is only a temporary fix, but not a solution. God's PERMANENT fix will be the differance between LIFE & DEATH! The choice is yours (once you HEAR it, you must choose, but you won't be able to say "I didn't know".

Heavenly Father, I come to you through your precious Son, Jesus. Please show us where we fall short and show us, daily, how much we truly need you and all of your children. Help us to be obedient to YOU. In Jesus Name, Amen!
