Stand Your Ground

Wherein they think it strange that ye run not with them to the same excess of riot, speaking evil of you:
1 Peter 4:4

The word "riot" have a footnote, 'dissipation': it means the following.
1. A dissolute course of life, in which health, money, etc., are squandered in pursuit of pleasure; profuseness in immoral indulgence, as late hours, riotous living, etc.; dissoluteness.
2. A trifle which wastes time or distracts attention.
3. (physics) A loss of energy.

Now, the unsaved think it is strange that you don't indulge in the aforementioned with them? Isn't it strange?
Unfortunately, many believers try to fit in, because they are afraid of persecution.
Grow up! Persecution is part of the Christian life. You are chosen, called out of the world system. The world is not going to like you for that, that you are chosen. So they will speak evil of you, to try to shame you or make you feel worthless. You have to know who you are in Christ, and stand your ground. There is so much at stake to be caught in the middle.

Jesus is Lord!

The Needful or Obvious Pt.1

And Jesus answered and said unto her, Martha, Martha, thou art careful and troubled about many things: But one thing is needful: and Mary hath chosen that good part, which shall not be taken away from her. - Luke 10:41-42. Nobody just happened, we are created for specific purpose. Everybody cannot be head, or leg, or hand etc., each and everyone most identify their place and stay there, thus makeup the body system. The leg cannot say the hand is not performing its functions adequately, as a result, he will take its functions over. The leg would be led by the obvious and abuse its own purpose instead, why? He was not created to perform the function of the hand. When these things are properly understood, it will help us to gain speed towards the fulfillment of our purpose. Everyone will give account of his or her stewardship, when the time comes, what will be your report, when all that you have been doing is the obvious(somebody else's assignment), and ignoring yours or ...

He Is Risen!

There is therefore now no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit. Romans 8:1 Why seek the living among the dead? He is no longer in the grave, He is risen! Hallelujah!!! Jesus triumph over Satan, and handled you and me the victory, like we did it. Are you in Christ Jesus? You're no longer numbered with the dead. You're now alive and separated unto God in Him. Jesus did it just for you, therefore let no condemnation temper with your joy. Jesus is Lord!
