CHURCH READINGS

  YES..... Many have made professions of faith, turned over a new leaf and started doing better. They have given up old habits and changed their style of living to later return back to the same old habits they had before. Their profession was from their head and not from their heart.  JESUS SAID: MATTHEW  7:21--23, Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doth the will of my Father which is in heaven. Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name done many wonder works? And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity.    _________________________________________________________ Making professions from the head, doing good, being baptized and joining the Church are all good works but the Bible teaches we are not saved by works.                          ...

  ( COUNTRY MUSIC AND THE BIBLE )  -  { PT.  3 }  -  If you are not saved, please repent and give your heart to the Lord before it is too late. If you have been saved and still listen to this filthy music, then bow your head and ask God to show you the truth. If you have an open mind wanting to know the truth, then God will show you. If your mind is already make up and you don't care about the truth, then there is no need to ask the Lord. If you ask the Lord from the depth of your heart to show you the truth about country music, I am sure that you will see that it is wrong. When the Lord shows you the truth, burn all the filthy records and tapes plus anything else that pertains to it. Get it as far away from your mind and sight as you can. Begin feeding your soul on the things of God. Get hooked on the Lord and His work instead of the works of the Devil. These words are given in the wonderful Name of the Lord.

  COUNTRY MUSIC AND THE BIBLE  -  { PT.  2 }  -  Look at what God says:   EPHESIANS  5:19--20 - Speaking to yourselves in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing and making melody in your heart to the Lord; Giving thanks always for all things unto God and the Father in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ;  -  God said speaking in SPIRITUAL songs. There is nothing spiritual about a tear in your beer. Most of your country music singers even indulge in alcohol and drugs along with adultery and fornication. Many end up broke, become alcoholics, drugs addicts, and suicidal. For a Christian to build his or her life around this type of life style is contrary to the Word of God. As a Christian, we are to watch the kind of diet we feed the inner man. Honky Tonk music may excite the flesh but it will do nothing to bring you closer to God. On the contrary, it will do much to take your heart far away from God. You can measure your spiritual...

tyl   Country music swept this land for many many years. Many live and survive on this music. Many could not make the day without this dominating force. Even Gospel music is being patterned after the country music style. The Devil will use anything to get the attention of men and women. If he can make you past your feet and stir the flesh it makes him happy. Christian's in particular should avoid country music. Country music will feed your soul with an unhealthy diet of lust and desires. Country music is noted for its wine, women, and song. You can gain nothing Spiritual for your soul listening to country music. They have been a lot of husbands that have become unfaithful to their wife because of this trashy music that stirs the flesh into sin. Likewise, there have been a lot of wives become unfaithful to their husbands listening to this music. JAMES  3:11, Doth a fountain send forth at the same place sweet water and bitter? No. You cannot sing Amazing Grace in Church on Sunda...

  COME WALK ON THE ROAD THAT LEADS TO SALVATION!  WHY CAN'T WE GO TO HEAVEN?  -  We can't go to Heaven because we have sinned. ROMANS  3:23 says; For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God. Sin is the bad things you do. Sin is not doing what God has told us to do.                                        _________________________________________________________ WHERE WILL WE GO?  -     Because we are sinners, the punishment for sin is death in Hell. ROMANS  6:23 says; For the wages of sin is death... REVELATION  20:14 says; And death and hell were cast into the lake of fire. This is the second death. Hell is a terrible place that was made for the devil and his demons.                            _________________________________________________________ HOW...

  GENESIS  2:18 - And the Lord God said, it is not good that the man should be alone; I WILL make him a help meet for him.  2:18 - woman was created to be a loving companion for man and a helper for him. As such she was to share his reponsibility and cooperate with him in fulfilling Godd's prupose for his life and the life of their family.                                                                                  _________________________________________________________EPHESIANS  5:22 - wives, submit yourselves unto your own husbands, as unto the Lord.                                                            ...

  2  CORINTHIANS  10:5 - Casting down imaginations, and every high thing that exalteth itself against the knowledge of God, and bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ.      _________________________________________________________ One reason Satan's stronghold are so powerful is that they become entrenched. This happens when Satan can get you to buy into the lie that your situation is hopeless. His goal is to get you to believe that by nature you are a drug addict or a manipulator or a negative person, that you are controlled by fear or shame, that nothing will ever change, and so on. Once you give in to and adopt this line of thinking, these fortresses become difficult to remove. Your behavior deteriorates even more since all of us act according to who we believe we are. The only solution is to tear down these fortresses by [ taking every thought captive to the obedience of Christ ] Program your mind ...
