The Roadmap :)

“And if your right hand causes you to sin, cut it off and cast it from you; for it is more profitable for you that one of your members perish, than for your whole body to be cast into hell.” – Matthew 5:30

So often, we want to share Christ with those who do not truly believe. And by that, I mean those who do not believe the Bible is True. For one can not believe in Jesus, but discount the Bible’s Teachings. It doesn’t work like that.

While it is an awesome gift to reach out to those who do not believe, we should only do that if our own faith can stand up to that task. Otherwise, we should stay among our fellow believers and work for their good 🙂

It’s easy to let those who do not believe in the Bible’s Teachings to plant seeds of doubt. They often do so with phrases such as, “We just want to love and accept everyone. Isn’t that what Jesus would do?”

But the Truth is, this is not what Jesus would do. Jesus made it very clear. While He loves us so much, we are not to sin and certain behaviors are NOT accepted. We don’t get to “make the rules”, God does!

And God makes “the rules” to protect us. Just as we “make rules” for our own children. We don’t want them to put their hands on a hot stove, because we don’t want them to be burned. We don’t want them to run in front of a car, because they might get hurt. And we don’t want them to skip reading the Bible because taking the time to know and understand their faith is important!

God is the same way. He knows what choices will truly bring us happiness and peace. And bring us Home to Heaven. Because He loves us, He wants us to bring us Home and have happiness and peace in this life!

Thank you God for Loving us so Completely!

Prepare, Pray & Be Ready!
