For a family to function properly and to flourish there must be two things:
1. A love and right fellowship between the children and parents.
2. A love and right fellowship between the siblings.

For a family of God and church to function properly and to flourish there must be two things:
1. A love and right fellowship between the children and the Father.
2. A love and right fellowship between the siblings, God's children.

What Is Pure Religion?

2008-11-05T09:07:00.000-08:00

Jas 1:27 Pure religion and undefiled before God and the Father is this, To visit the fatherless and widows in their affliction, and to keep himself unspotted from the world.

In reading this passage the other day, the words "pure religion" jumped from the page of God's Word. We live in a day when "religion" and "Christianity" is blurred and encompasses much of the world's philosophy. God says that pure religion is two things: 1)Putting others before self. We must learn to deny ourselves, crucify the flesh daily, and become a servant. We live in a selfish society and we as Christians should be self-less. 2)Unspotted from the world. It only takes one spot for something to be spotted. For some reason, Christians across America are having a mindset that some "spots" are better than others (a lie straight from the Devil!). For instance, the average Christian accepts murder and sodomy as "spots" they would never allow into their lives. Yet worldly music, improper dress, improper behavior, and ungodly television shows are often times accepted as OK. God says that we are to be "unspotted from the world". Not one spot is acceptable. One spot is still a sin. We are commanded to come out from the world and be seperate. It all comes back to a matter of the heart.

We should learn to hate sin as much as we hate the way we look. We dare not leave the house with a hair out of place, no make-up on, or nice clothes neatly ironed and yet many of us set a bad example to the world in sin....S.S. teacher in Brunswick, GA

A wrong focus on money makes one hopeless in their effort and effectiveness in serving God. All that "stuff" our money buys keeps us from soul-winning, church services, and other church meetings because we end up staying at home to play with our "stuff"or to take care of our "stuff". True success is not defined by how much of the world's "stuff" you have, but by how much the Lord has of you!......Dr. Bob Vallier (Financial Freedom Lesson he taught in Sunday School on Sep 1, 2008 at Emmanuel B.C. in Brunswick, GA)

Allow the clouds in your life to enhance God, not hide Him....Pastor Shane Hayes

(The most beautiful sunsets are those that involve clouds. Often the more clouds, the prettier and magnificent the sunset, the more colors, the more beauty. It is those times in our lives when there are clouds all around us, that the Son shines with the most beauty. For it is in those times that we see him work and perform miracles. Too many times, we complain about the clouds in our lives, and miss out on the magnificent sunsets!)

Revival is making "normal" Christianity "abnormal". Where one who doesn't go soul-winning now goes, where one who doesn't read their Bible and prays daily now does, where joy is restored and folks get excited to do something for God. Today's "normal" Christian isn't seperated, doesn't go visiting, misses church occassionally, doesn't read and pray daily, and looks like the world. We need revival and to be "abnormal".....Pastor Randy Miller

(Would it be such a bad thing for Christians to live Godly lives? To not go to the places the world goes, not look at the things the world looks at, to not look and act like the world, to live for God and truly be the salt of the earth? The truth is, we don't really want revival because we are too busy enjoying and living in this world, fulfilling the lusts of the flesh, lusts of the eyes, and the pride of life.)

Is separating ourselves from the world a necessity in our lives? It is more than that, it is a command (II Cor 6:17-18) which when obeyed brings 3 promises...."and I will receive you, and will be a Father unto you, and ye shall be my sons and daughters, saith the Lord Almighty." It is sad when Christians do not claim nor partake in God's promises which are only a step of faith and obedience away.
