I have had words with those who are caught in sexual immorality.  They are caught because they do not love the Lord.  I do not mean that as an accusation.  It is a truth.  For as we love Him, we learn to abstain from the things unholy.  There is a volume to say on this subject.  But who would read it?  If there are questions, I am more than willing to discuss.  I understand the problem.  I know the fix.  And can testify that the Lord is able to redeem.  We do not just cover our sins with Grace.  We are encouraged and commanded to work out our own salvation with fear and trembling, for it is God who works in us according to His Good purpose.

Grace?  Work?  Which one applies?  How about both.  Let Grace cover you as you work for His Glory.  Why is that so hard to understand?

The Day Is Near

11 And do this, understanding the present time: The hour has already come for you to wake up from your slumber, because our salvation is nearer now than when we first believed. 12 The night is nearly over; the day is almost here. So let us put aside the deeds of darkness and put on the armor of light. 13 Let us behave decently, as in the daytime, not in carousing and drunkenness, not in sexual immorality and debauchery, not in dissension and jealousy. 14 Rather, clothe yourselves with the Lord Jesus Christ, and do not think about how to gratify the desires of the flesh.”  (Romans 13)

Believe the Testimony and Live!

I testify to all that God is True.   I testify to all that Jesus is Able to bring you home.  I testify to all that the foolish, desperate, wicked of heart, mentally deficient, physically lacking, and socially repressed and outcast, can be saved from their ailments.  I testify to this because I know there is one who testifies that such is not true.  And there are far more who believe in that one, than of those who rest in God’s promises.

Do not discount what I have just said.  It is absolutely true and correct.  But you may ask, “Then why am I not healed from those things I hate so much?”  Do you really want my answer to you?   “Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ and you will be saved.  For all who call on the name of the Lord will be saved.”

 1 “Here is my servant, whom I uphold,
my chosen one in whom I delight;
I will put my Spirit on him,
and he will bring justice to the nations.
2 He will not shout or cry out,
or raise his voice in the streets.
3 A bruised reed he will not break,
and a smoldering wick he will not snuff out.
In faithfulness he will bring forth justice;
4 he will not falter or be discouraged
till he establishes justice on earth.
In his teaching the islands will put their hope.”
