It is the quality of being free
from change.
It is consistency in character and purpose.
It is being steadfast, reliable, and dependable.
THE WORD IS STABILITY.
BEING
STABLE IS ALSO BEING RELIABLE.
What
can YOU rely on?
THAT TODAY in the US
alone,
532 KIDS UNDER 18 AND 4,250 ADULTS IN THE US
WILL BE CONVICTED OF A DRUG CRIME.
What
can YOU rely on?
That today in the US alone,
63,300,000 people will be
either murdered, robbed, raped or assaulted.
What
can YOU rely on?
That today in the US alone,
3,700 babies will be aborted.
(That would only take 23 days to wipe out the
entire population of High Point.)
And 126,000 BABIES world wide.
THESE
ABORTION STATISTICS ARE BAD ENOUGH BUT GRAB THESE STATISTICS…
IN THE
US…
OUT OF
3,700 BABIES MURDERED TODAY,
1,384
OF THEM WERE ABORTED BY WOMEN OF THE
PROTESTANT FAITH.
1,158
OF THEM WERE ABORTED BY WOMEN OF THE
CATHOLIC FAITH.
48 OF
THEM WERE ABORTED BY WOMEN OF THE JEWISH
FAITH.
877 OF
THEM WERE ABORTED BY WOMEN OF NO FAITH AT
ALL.
AND HERE IS THE KICKER…
666
BABIES WERE ABORTED BY WOMEN WHO CLAIMED TO BE…
OF THE
BORN AGAIN/EVANGELICAL FAITH.
DOESN’T THAT NUMBER, 666 STUN YOU?
ARENT YOU OVERWHELMED BY THE FEELING OF DEMONIC ACTIVITY?
ROMANS 8:1 SAYS…
There is therefore now no condemnation to those who
are in Christ Jesus, who do not walk according to the flesh, but according to
the Spirit.
FIRST OF ALL
WE NEED TO ACKNOWLEDGE THE IMMENSITY OF GODS
TOLERANCE,
LOVE
AND ABILITY TO FORGIVE SUCH A SINFUL PEOPLE.
SECOND,
OUR WORLD IS IN BAD SHAPE.
OUR WORLD IS DESTINED TO END UP IN A FACE
TO FACE BATTLE WITH THE KING OF KINGS.
THIRD,
WALKING IN THE FLESH WILL ONLY END UP
IN DEATH.
WALKING IN THE SPIRIT,
AND THATS WALKING WITH CHRIST JESUS,
WILL RESULT IN NO CONDEMNATION.
THAT’S NONE, ZERO, ZIP, ZILCH.
NO CONDEMNATION IS A FREEDOM GIVEN TO US BY THE
BLOOD SACRIFICE OF JESUS ON THE CROSS.
NO CONDEMNATION IS THE RESULT OF OUR FAITH IN CHRIST
AND HIS DEATH TO SIN AND RESURRECTION TO NEW LIFE.
GOD HAS GIVEN THE RESPONSIBILTY OF THIS
WORLD TO THE MEN IN THIS WORLD AND
WE, JUST LIKE ADAM, GIVE IT RIGHT OVER TO THE DEVIL.
MEN DON’T WANT THE RESPONSIBILITY.
MEN WANT SEX,
BUT WE DON’T WANT THE RESPONSIBILITY.
MEN WANT MONEY,
BUT WE DON’T WANT THE RESPONSIBILITY.
MEN WANT SIGNIFICANCE,
BUT WE DON’T WANT THE RESPONSIBILITY.
WE WANT TO BE RESPECTED,
BUT WE DO IT THROUGH FEAR AND INTIMIDATION.
GENESIS 2:7 TELLS
US… And the Lord God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into
his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living being.
MEN,
YOU HAVE THE BREATH OF GOD HIMSELF
WITHIN YOU.
+
IT IS WHAT GAVE YOU LIFE.
NOW WHAT DOES YOUR BREATH DO TO THE PEOPLE IN YOUR
LIFE?
ARE YOU BREATHING LIFE OR DEATH?
ARE YOUR WORDS CONVICTING BECAUSE THEY ARE WORDS OF LOVE?
ARE YOUR WORDS RESPECTED
BECAUSE THEY ARE PROVEN BY YOUR SERVICE TO OTHERS?
DO YOUR WORDS HAVE WEIGHT
BECAUSE YOU ARE HONEST, RELIABLE, AND TRUSTWORTHY?
ARE YOU A STABLE MAN?
STABLE…
ARE YOU free from change?
ARE
YOU consistent in character and purpose?
ARE YOU steadfast,
reliable, and dependable?
MEN,
YOU WERE BORN A KING.
YOU WERE BORN TO RULE.
THAT IS YOUR GOD APPOINTED ROLE IN THIS WORLD.
Wow…
Some pretty sad
statistics don’t you think?
Sounds kind of
hopeless doesn’t it?
So why go from
these sick statistics to men being stable?
Well, find out on
the next blog!
