This “so called Christian” is a phony!

There are many people who say they are Christian, or followers of Christ. Yet, when we speak to “Christians,” their views are all over the place.  some feel that we should live one way, and others feel that we should live another way. This will only create confusion, and as it relates to eternal life, only one book has the bedrock solid truth, and that it is sacred scriptures. 1 John 2: 3-5 says: “Here’s how we can be sure that we’ve truly come to know God: if we keep his commands. If someone claims, “I have come to know God by experience,” yet doesn’t keep God’s commands, he is a phony and the truth finds no place in him. But the love of God will be perfected within the one who obeys God’s Word.” Please read this verse again. We cannot just know God “by experience.” Our experience might very well be wrong! We have to know and keep His commands. Anyone that claims that they are a “Christian” who does not follow God’s commands is a phoney according to the scriptures. It’s an error to think that just because your mother or father serve God, you’re covered and everything is OK between you and God. We all need a personal relationship with God in Christ. James 1:21-22 says: Therefore lay aside all filthiness and overflow of wickedness, and receive with meekness the implanted word, which is able to save your souls. But be doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving yourselves. Are you a doer or a hearer only?

God gave you a mouth; Use it!

We all have a mouth and unique experience & perspectives. However, our mindsets and views are being continually shaped and formed by school, movies, the news and social media, family and friends. Our view on things  can change depending on what we listen to. Many today believe all that they read or hear. That is dangerous because everybody has an opinion and a bias. That is why our faith has to be centered around the word of God. Romans 10:17 says: “So then faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.” The key here is that faith comes by hearing, so what we hear all day long helps to fashion our belief system. Jesus said that He would give us “a mouth” and “wisdom” which none of our adversaries will be able to withstand or contradict (Luke 21:15, ESV). So if we daily connect with God’s word, our mouths will be a powerful tool and weapon against the enemy’s attacks because since we are filled with the wisdom of God, that is what we will speak when challenged. So instead of curses, anger, offense, ignorance and worldly bias coming out of our mouths, what will come forth is the love, grace, power, knowledge and beauty of God’s word and will. We all have a mouth, so let’s all use it for God’s glory and for the benefit of all those that God has called us to minister to, even those who have had the eyes of their understanding darkened by the spirit of this age.

Luke 21:15 (ESV) “for I will give you a mouth and wisdom, which none of your adversaries will be able to withstand or contradict.”
