Are You Willing To Die For Jesus?

Preachers are not the only ones who are full of the Holy Ghost and able to preach the gospel.

"... And they chose Stephen, a man full of faith and of The Holy Ghost ... And Stephen, full of faith and power, did great wonders and miracles among the people." Acts 6:1-8

Stephen was one of the first deacons. He was stoned to death for preaching the gospel. Acts 7:59

What are you doing for Him? Are you willing to die for Jesus? He was willing to die for you.

Love Not The World

"Love not the world, neither the things that are in the world. If any man love the world, the love of The Father is not in him. For all that is in the world, the lust of the flesh, and the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life, is not of The Father, but is of the world. And the world passeth away, and the lust thereof; but he that doeth the will of God abideth for ever." 1 John 2:15-17

'Love' here signifies affection and devotion, and 'the world' refers to invisible spiritual system of evil dominated by Satan and all that offers opposition to God , His word, and His people. 'Lust' is a strong desire for negative, evil, and sinful things. The 'flesh' refers to the sin nature of man and his rebellious preoccupation with himself and self love.

The world's philosophies and ideologies lead to deception because they all are in opposition to,
and omit any reference to, the knowledge of God. As Christians we must realize that we are in this world but not of this world.

Our beliefs and guiding principals should be based upon our belief and faith in God. Don't get hung up on the fleeting things of this world.
