Not tossed around

Read: 1 Timothy 4:1-16

 "Now the Spirit expressly says that in latter times, some shall fall away and follow deceiving spirits and doctrines of demons," (paragraph 1)

In the days leading up to his arrival, the Lord is going to do the sifting and above all with the aim of testing the quality of their faith, because "His winnowing his hand already.  

He will clean out his threshing floor and gather his wheat into the barn, but the chaff he will burn up with unquenchable fire. "(Matthew 3:12), so that will be posted clearly the difference between the righteous and the wicked, those who live in holiness and in dishonor, truly worship God and that messing around with sin.

Sifting will begin in the "house of God ... must first of all be judged.: And if it first begin at us, what its conclusion with those who do not believe in the gospel of God? And if the righteous scarcely be saved, which will become of the ungodly and the sinner appear? "(1 Peter 4:17-18).

Let us consider this life carefully and use the time available wisely. At the time "... you'll see the distinction between the righteous and the wicked, between one who serves God and him who does not serve Him." (Malachi 3:18).

Why do we have to mean it in the Lord? For if we are not rooted in God, only half alias lukewarm, we will not be able to fend off the attacks of Satan.

Today many people falling and getting tossed easily buffeted by false teaching that is contrary to the word of God; people prefer to study the philosophies of the world rather than reading and studying the Bible; rather listen to the teachings satisfying and open ears for a fairy tale / superstition; rather seek advice psychic / healer than a servant of the Lord. The gospel of Christ was attacked, debated and distorted! Therefore, the apostle Paul exhorts us, "Train yourself to worship." (1 Tim 4:7 b).

PERSONAL TRAINING IN DISCIPLINE MEAN OF WORSHIP, DILIGENCE, LOYAL PRAYER SPIRITUAL MATTERS LIKE BACK IN THE CHURCH, AND ALSO SHADE AIR TIME ENGAGED IN SERVICE.

May the Holy Spirit help us to more earnest again according to & serve the Lord, amen!
