ALL:

Personally, I believe MANY Christians, who have their "heroes" of
the faith, are about to have a VERY RUDE AWAKENING!!!!!!!!

It is a SHAME that Christianity has come to this - when a question
is asked, we just "refer" or "defer" to another "man" to represent
our beliefs. At the time when we face Jesus and then "He" asks us
something, are we ALSO going to "defer" to someone else?

...Philippians 2 (KJV)
...12 Wherefore, my beloved, as ye have always obeyed, not as
...in my presence only, but now much more in my absence, work
...out your own salvation with fear and trembling.

God hasn't changed and He "IS" a jealous God!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

It's sort of like someone else doing your own bodily exercise for
you. Is God "THAT" easily mocked!!!???

I'll just say I've been MORE GUILTY of not listening to God than
anybody. So, I should know!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

...Psalm 119 (KJV)
...1 Blessed are the undefiled in the way, who walk in the law
...of the Lord.
...2 Blessed are they that keep his testimonies, and that seek
...him with the whole heart.
...3 They also do no iniquity: they walk in his ways.
...4 Thou hast commanded us to keep thy precepts diligently.
...5 O that my ways were directed to keep thy statutes!
...6 Then shall I not be ashamed, when I have respect unto all
...thy commandments.

...Psalm 119 (NIV 1984)
...1 Blessed are they whose ways are blameless,
...who walk according to the law of the Lord.
...2 Blessed are they who keep his statutes
...and seek him with all their heart.
...3 They do nothing wrong;
...they walk in his ways.
...4 You have laid down precepts
...that are to be fully obeyed.
...5 Oh, that my ways were steadfast
...in obeying your decrees!
...6 Then I would not be put to shame
...when I consider all your commands.

"BLESSINGS!!!"

"COME, LORD JESUS!!!"

Good Post Calvin,

It take courage, and faith in God to go against the grain, and obey God, and not let others represent us!

After all, whom are we trying to please men/women, or God!

Jesus never said it would be easy to following Him, however Jesus did say it would be worth it.

Thanks for sharing these scriptures!

God Bless!
