Total commitment required

 Can you imagine being married to someone and they come to you and say honey I think I should be allowed to cheat on you at least once a week. It's hard being faithful 7 days a week 😱. 

What would you say ?  Would you think your spouse loves you? 


Well friends this how many of us Christians treat Christ 😔. When we get baptized we enter into a covenant with Christ, a marriage relationship in which He vows to be our God and we vow to be His children, we vow to be faithful to Him. But many soon seeks satisfaction elsewhere and break His heart 💔

We commit what the Bible calls spiritual adultery when we seek satisfaction from other sources than Christ. When we go to the world to fulfill the void in our hearts because we don't really believe that Christ is able to be our all and this friends is the source of our weakness in the Christian life .


Friends, being a true Christian requires total commitment. Part time Christians are an enemy to Christ for they cannot be depended upon to be constant witness for the Master. A part time Christian lives a sinful life throughout the week and come on sabbath pretending to be Holy, such a person is a fraud.


But it gets worse. Because other people think they are Christians and when they see their sinful  behaviors, their lifestyles they concluded that Christians are hypocrites, that there is no power in Christ and that the religion of Christ is a fraud, a delusion. And because of this, many reject the gospel because of these part time Christians.


Friends, if you want to be a Christian you must be fully committed to Christ. You cannot be sneaking around with the Devil and the works of darkness throughout the week and hoping to be Holy on sabbath. Friendship with the world is adultery against God. You must either be wholly God's or wholly the Devil's. 


According the Bible, God would prefer you go fully into sin than pretending to be His servant while you are practicing a life of secret sins, blaspheming His name and bringing reproach to His cause in the eyes of the heathens. Either serve God or serve sin


So what are you going to do friends? Are you going to still pretend you are a Christian while living a life of sin? Or are you going to go fully into the world and enjoy sin? The message to day is choose! Either be fully committed to Christ or go serve sin, the world and the Devil and stop being a stumbling block to the cause of God.

 Choose this day whom you will serve 

James 4: 4

Ye adulterers and adulteresses, know ye not that the friendship of the world is enmity with God? whosoever therefore will be a friend of the world is the enemy of God

A new Constantine: Will Trump become more religious ?

 On October 28, 312 AD, the battle of the Milvian bridge took place between Roman Emperors Constantine I and Maxentius. Rome was in the midst of a civil war . Constantine won the battle and started on the path that led him to become the sole ruler of the Roman empire. But something interesting happened before the battle, Constantine who was a pagan at the time claimed to have received a vision from God. On October 27 with the armies preparing for battle, Constantine claimed to had a vision which led him to fight under the protection of  the Christian God. According to the message of Eusebius of Ceasarea, around noon, Constantine saw a luminous cross in the sky and under it the inscription in Greek," in this sign thou shalt conquer. " Constantine also claimed to had a dream in which Christ commanded him to use the sign of the cross against his enemies. Constantine became the first emperor to convert to Christianity.  He ended the policy of persecuting Christians and in 313...

Second Beast of Revelation Revealed part 1

And I beheld another beast coming up out of the earth; and he had two horns like a lamb, and he spake as a dragon. Revelation 13:11 This prophecy speaks about a nation rising at the end of time that will seem to represent Christ but will actually be against Him. In this small study, we will reveal that nation. Below are some symbolic terms in prophecy needed in order to follow this study. Beast : a political entity, a state or empire Earth : symbolizes a place that is not heavily populated, unlike the sea. The waters which thou sawest, where the whore sitteth, are peoples, and multitudes, and nations, and tongues."  Revelation 17:15 Horns : Horns represent kings and kingdoms, or governments. Daniel 8:21 Speak : is how a nation create laws, a nation speaks by its laws So now that we have these definitions, let us go and see which nation on earth that the Bible speaks of during the end of times. There is only one super power nation coming out from an...

The spiritual nature and the degradation of marriage

Man was made in the image of God.  What does it mean to be made in the image of God? What is God like ? The Bible says "God is a Spirit." What comes to mind when you think of a Spirit? You think of something not limited by physical restraints, something unseen, something greater than the physical.  God made man in His image, He made a spiritual being covered by an earthly body. We all have the breath of God within us, we all have a spirit within us. The spirit within is the real person, the character.  With the spiritual nature we relate to God and with the earthly nature we relate to the earth.  So let's break it down a little bit so we can understand . What are the things we find in the spiritual nature ?  In the spiritual nature we find love, patience, longsuffering, mercy etc.. The spiritual nature is all about relationships, that's the most important to the spiritual nature, its highest goal. Why do I say this ? Remember what we said in the beginning, "God ...
