Remind them of this, and charge them before the Lord to avoid disputing about words, which does no good, but only ruins the hearers. Do your best to present yourself to God as one approved, a workman who has no need to be ashamed, rightly handling the word of truth. Avoid such godless chatter, for it will lead people into more and more ungodliness, and their talk will eat its way like gangrene.

One can spin God’s word however they want to, but God’s words will always mean the same. He, and His Word, was the same yesterday, today, and will remain the same tomorrow. Nothing in His Word is “Old fashioned” or “Out dated.” The way to Salvation has not changed. The path remains exactly the same for everyone. The statements we hear about, “you do it your way and I’ll do it my way and we’ll all end up in the same place” is not true, according to God’s Word. There are over a 1000 commands in the New Testament, and God expects us to adhere to them. God has made us a promise, that IF we keep His commands, He will prepare a place for us. Disobey and He’ll send you to Satan.
IT is your choice.

It is your CHOICE. Make the right one!!
Have a good day all. SMILE God loves YOU!!
I’ve been wondering about this word for quite some time. A short definition means to do something over and over to get better. I’ve always wondered why people say that a Doctor is “Practicing” medicine or why Attorneys are “Practicing” law. Shouldn’t they know what they are doing? I’ve thought to myself that I would just prefer a Doctor instead one who is still “Practicing.” Same would go with an Attorney. Soooooo, I’ve decided that they are still practicing, doing things over and over, so they get better at what they are doing ( sure hope by the time I would need one, that they would know what they are doing. lololo). Then I thought, why don’t we have “Practicing” teachers, sales people, secretaries, business owners, preachers, coaches, etc. In athletics we have, football, basketball, volleyball, hockey, soccer, and track “Practice” so the players can get better by doing the same plays over and over until they get them right. All that “Practice” is done so they can be prepared for the games they play. Hopefully being able to win their games.
The next question I had was, why are Christians just called Christians? Shouldn’t we be called “Practicing” Christians. After all, doesn’t God want us to get better at what we do for Him? His scriptures tell us to listen, not only listen, but HEAR, attend Worship services, study to show ourselves approved, go forth and Preach His Word. He also instructs us to be kind, gentle, loving, forgiving, tolerant of others, and compassionate. How can these things be accomplished if we don’t continue to “Practice” what God says? We can’t just “Be Christians”, it takes work!! Sooooooo, don’t just be a Christian, go to work and “Practice” what is to be done. Become a “Practicing” Christian!! Hopefully we will win the race and receive the Crown of Life that God has promised (Providing we are obedient to Him).
SMILE God loves YOU!! Have a good day all.
