Give God first

Text: Leviticus 23:9-14. And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying, “Speak to the people of Israel and say to them, when you come into the land that I give you and reap its harvest, you shall bring the sheaf of the first fruits of your harvest to the Priest,” (verses 9 and 10). The celebration[…]

Text: 1 John 3:11-24. “Little children, let us not love in word or talk but in deed and in truth” (verse 18). The Bible teaches us to be generous to each other as children of God. Generous in terms of money, possessions and time. However, when the new teaching or experience is telling you to[…]

Text: Titus 2:1-15. “For the grace of God has appeared, bringing salvation for all people, training us to renounce ungodliness and worldly passions, and to live self-controlled, upright, and godly lives in the present age,” (verses 11 and 12). Any teaching that weakens your hatred of sin is false to the Holy Scriptures and should[…]

Text: 1 John 2:15-17. “For all that is in the world – the desires of the flesh and the desires of the eyes and pride in possessions – is not from the Father but is from the world,” (verse 16). Be careful with the teachings from those socalled “men and women of God” of these days. Their teachings[…]

Text: Galatians 5:16-26. “For desires of the flesh are against the Spirit, and the desires of the Spirit are against the flesh, for these are opposed to each other, to keep you from doing the things you want to do,” (verse 17). Avoid teachings where self, I, me, myself, is glorified. A little prayer for yourself, your good health,[…]

Text: 2 Peter 1: 16-21. The Bible is the true Word of God and it is the final authority over everything else. God used specific men to write the Scriptures and divinely guarded against any human error. Therefore any teaching outside the Bible is suspect and should be avoided at all costs. Emotions may rise, psychological pressure may be[…]

Text: Acts 4:1-13. “And there is salvation in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven given among men by which we must be saved,” (verse 12). Jesus Christ is the image of invisible God. He is above everything else, and therefore anything that makes God less is delusional and dangerous. Watch out for[…]

Text: Isaiah 42:1-9. ‘I am the LORD; that is my name; my glory I give to no other, nor my praise to carved idols,” (verse 8). Let any teaching, any new experience cause God to appear to you more wonderful than before. Otherwise some Christian leaders are becoming so “powerful” and are highly elevated with their words quoted more[…]
