6th of January, 2008 - Action Now
Good Lord's Day morning to you I use this opening line often it's my way of reminding you that Sunday is the Lord's Day not yours. It's the first day of the week not the last day of w weekend. So use it right for the Lord and you. The commander brought to light some interesting facts about Obama. I do urge you to get involved with the voting process like getting involved in your own salvation you will need to do some studying of the facts first. Before you can make a wise choice it is unfortunate we many time have to just vote against someone instead of for someone. Thanks Commander for the information. Don’t forget to pray for those recovering or under treatment.
Luke 13:23-28 "Then said one unto him, Lord, are there few that be saved? And he said unto them, Strive to enter in at the straight gate: for many, I say unto you will seek to enter in, and shall not be able. When once the master of the house is risen up, and hath shut the door, and ye begin to stand without, and to knock at the door saying Lord, Lord, open unto us; and he shall answer and say unto you, I know you not whence ye are .....Depart from me, all ye workers of iniquity. There shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth,.... and you yourselves thrust out."
Workers of iniquity means without authority Col. 3:17 tells us that whatever we do to do all in the name of the Lord which means by his authority now today that authority can only come from the scriptures 2 Tim.3:16-17. Notice here in our text today he said I know you not same type ending he gave in Matt. 7:21-23 what I normally refer to as the saddest scriptures in the Bible where he tell people that had done many wonderful works in his name to depart from him ye workers of iniquity I never even knew you. Two points will be perfectly clear if you will take the time to read Matt.7:21-23 first it's not a matter of doing good works it's a matter of doing the works that God has ordained and secondly being recognized by the Lord as one of his is not only important but it does not come just by saying Lord, Lord or by acting on your own.
My conclusion is that becoming a partaker of Divine grace is first and foremost important and that may not be as easy as Billy Graham says so. Secondly, before I give credit to Lord for my good work I need something higher up then me and my friends to ok it. I need book chapter and verse for it. Then and only then is it a work of God.
