Beware of wrong teachings!

Hello,I would like to share something thats been on my heart.

Today we have many false doctrines in the church,because we know not God's word. The bible states in Matthew 22:29,"Jesus answered and said unto them,
'Ye do err ,not knowing the scriptures,nor the power of God'."
I've heard people say that Judas Iscariot went to heaven because he "did the will of God."
When the bible clearly states in Matthew 26:24,Mark 14:21,and Luke 22:22--
"...woe unto that man by whom he is betrayed and all except Luke say that it's would be better if he wasn't even born."
Thats why we must try all spirits, like in John 4:1. We must use the bible to be our spiritual glasses to be able to spot what is of Christ and what's not.

God Bless-
Joseph

Wonderful Godly Music

It is so hard today to find music that will be edifying to our Lord without sounding to contemporary or too hip hopish…

This album is wonderful. You can downloaded it from Itunes!!!

Thought I would share my find!

Becoming 18

By Alex Sellers

Note by Mom- this year we had another wonderful child turn 18. Like Paul- we posed the grand question- What does it mean to you to turn 18? 

This was Alex’s speech he read to everyone.

 

“ Becoming 18 really is no big deal when you think about it, but in another sense it is. The world sees turning 18, as a time to breakout, but loose from the bonds of parents and authority and become your own person. I see turning 18 as the beginning of a trial period of REAL submission.(to authority-added by mom) During this time bewteen the age of 18 and marriage the world is going to press in on me saying things like

“ So what do you think you should be doing?”   or

“ So what are your plans?”

With questions such as these it would be my responsibility with God’s help, to say

“ I don’t know because God hasn’t revealed anything to my parents  yet”

In Exodus 20:12 the bible says “ Honor your father and mother….”

until you are 18 then say I’m a man now and be on your way. No, it says “ Honor your father and your mother.”

Leviticus 19:32  says “ Thou shalt rise the hoary (grey) head and honor the face of the old man.” 

Proverbs 16:31

“ The hoary head is a crown of glory, if it be found in the way of righteousness.”  Meaning no matter how old you are, you’re still required to honor your grey haired parents!

Even Jesus in the garden of Gethsemane prays this prayer in Math 26:39

“ On my Father…. not as I will, but as Thou wilt.”

Therefore(in light of what has just been said) know that even Jesus surrendered HIS will to His Father, that makes turning 18 to me no more than a stepping stone to total submission to my parents and to God. “
