Timothy Keller

"An idol is anything more important to you than God, anything that absorbs your heart and imagination more than God, anything you seek to give you what only God can give."

Who do you idolize?  There are many idols in the world today...  They may be other people, fame, fortune, yourself...  God hates idolatry more than anything but loves the humble.  This is why when his son came the first time it was as a servant but the next time it will be as a warrior and King!

Dietrich Bonhoeffer

Temptation

I have heard it said that if the devil can't tempt you he will keep you busy!  How many people do you know that are very busy?  We live in a busy world, don't we?  But are you too busy for God?  

Do you mindlessly play video games or watch a bunch of junk on TV?  Yes, we all have our guilty pleasures but where do your priorities lie?  

Will you miss heaven due to one too many TV show?

Isaiah

58

Why should we fast?  What does it do?  This passage in Isaiah is on fasting.  There is another passage in Mark when Yeshua says that some demons can only be cast out by prayer and fasting...  Is there a stronghold in your life that you can not conquer?  Maybe it is time to try this...

Friends of Folly

Friends of Wisdom


The Bible talks about a friend 
that is closer than a brother.  
But there is a friend 
that is deceptive as the devil...  
As well!

Friends of folly 
lead you to Sheol
where they are headed
because they want you 
with them...  

To suffer 
in torment
amongst the flames.

While friends of wisdom
lift you up 
and lead you along a higher path 
in obedient to the Lord.
Your good shepherd...

But it is really 
up to us 
ultimately
whatever
we will do...

What path will you take?
I wonder...
The narrow path
or the broad one
that is easier by far?

Only one saves your soul...
the other destroys it!
What will you choose?

I wonder...

@JoSH Poetic Popcorn Poetry
  
Not all friends want what's best for you...  Some friends pretend to be your friend because of something they want or to ruin your life...  Because of jealousy or envy or hatred... Can you believe some people do things out of spite?  Someone actually said that to me once...  How sad to live your life that way!

When the Enemy Strikes

How do we engage with the enemy?  Who is the enemy?  He is the one who goes about "like a roaring lion looking for someone to devour..."  

How do we withstand such an enemy?  By putting on our spiritual armor...

    Helmet of Salvation
    Breastplate of Righteousness
    Shield of Faith
    Belt of Truth
    Sword of the Spirit
    Feet of Peace

Angels:  God's Secret Agents

Angel 007 is on a mission to help God determine who goes where in the coming harvest...  Are you the good seed or the thistle weed?  Do you know where each ends up?  You really should because it is a matter of life or death...  really...  God have a mercy on your soul!
