When you
enter the land the LORD your God is giving you, do not learn to imitate the
detestable ways of the nations there.
Let no one be found among you who sacrifices their son or daughter in
the fire, who practices divination or sorcery, interprets omens, engages in
witchcraft, or casts spells, or who is a medium or spiritist or who consults
the dead. Anyone who does these things is detestable to the LORD; because of
these same detestable practices the LORD your God will drive out those nations
before you. Deut. 18:9-12

CEASED FROM SIN
Therefore, since the Christ suffered for us in His body, arm yourselves also with the same mind, because he that has suffered in the body has ceased from sin. 1 Peter 4:1

HYPOCRISY
It is not our doctrines the world laughs at;
it is not our faith the world mocks;
it is not our religion the world despises;
it is our hypocrisy that provokes their scorn.

SPIRITUAL WISDOM
Fools give full vent to their rage, but the wise keep calm until the end. Prov. 29:11
My (the apostle Paul) speech and my preaching were not with persuasive words of human wisdom, but in demonstration of the Spirit and of power, that your faith should not be in the wisdom of men but in the power of God.
However, we speak wisdom among those who are mature, yet not the wisdom of this age, nor of the rulers of this age, who are coming to nothing.
But we speak the wisdom of God in a mystery, the hidden wisdom which God ordained before the ages for our glory, which none of the rulers of this age knew; for had they known, they would not have crucified the Lord of glory. 1 Cor. 2:4-8

REPENTANCE
…and He (Jesus) said to them (disciples), "Thus it is written, that the Christ would suffer and rise again from the dead the third day, and that repentance for forgiveness of sins would be proclaimed in His name to all the nations, beginning from Jerusalem. You are witnesses of these things.” Luke 24:46-48
This is what the Sovereign LORD, the Holy One of Israel, says: "In repentance and rest is your salvation, in quietness and trust is your strength…” Isaiah 30:15
Godly sorrow worketh repentance. 2 Corinthians 7:10
Many think the word repent means “to become religious” or “to stop sinning”; or “to become righteous” …as if we could. Repentance requires a whole new point of view; looking at it God's way. God simply asks us to turn back to Him. This is the way we accept His gift.

THE WORLD OF ILLITERACY IN THE CHURCH
There is a GREAT problem in the whole world having to do with communications among ourselves. It is ILLITERACY. Today, though, I would direct your attention to this problem within the Church… an appalling situation because we are "handling" the Word of Truth. We have been entrusted with its dissemination.
But this person has blown me away with his/her post on some other blog site. With great difficulty, I got through it.
…from another blog site; I won’t mention where. It was posted a while ago but it’s a prime example of my topic... And it's not unique.
TRY!!! To get through this! ...posted exactly as written.

TAKE HEED
Moreover, brethren, I do not want you to be unaware that all our fathers were under the cloud, all passed through the sea, all were baptized into Moses in the cloud and in the sea, all ate the same spiritual food (manna), and all drank the same spiritual drink. For they drank of that spiritual Rock that followed them, and that Rock was Christ. But with most of them God was not well pleased, for their bodies were scattered in the wilderness.

Lest WE Be Castaways
But I keep under my body, and bring it into subjection: lest that by any means, when I have preached to others, I myself should be a castaway.
1 Cor. 9:27
Castaway: Greek, Adokimos, ad-ok'-ee-mos
Adjective
Definition:
not standing the test, not approved
that which does not prove itself such as it ought
unfit for, unproved, spurious, reprobate

ECUMENISM…THE WORLD CHURCH
The pope had a secret meeting with Kim Davis while he was in Washington. Kim Davis was flown to Washington for a private meeting with the pope. She's the woman that refused to issue marriage licenses to homosexual couples in that county in Kentucky. She was put in jail for a while. The pope flew her in and applauded her for her courage. The media (liberals) has found out about this, and they're not happy. One minute they like the pope because he espouses their agenda, then they don’t like him because he supports Kim Davis’ views on homosexuality. That’s democrats for you. They really don’t care about anything, especially moral issues, except for the agenda of power and control…but that’s another post.
