Bible Knowledge Necessary for the Christian

If you are a Christian and aren't very familiar with the Word of God, The Bible, you will probably have difficulty living life the way God would have you. Winging it according to feelings, traditions and the thoughts of men, will not be the same as what the Bible reveals. Conventional wisdom many time disagrees with the Word He has provided for His Disciples.

Nothing substitutes meditation and study of the Word of God for helping us to understand how God would have us think and act while living on this earth.

The New World Order - God Ordained or Conspiracy Theory?

The New World Order is a concept revealed in the Bible, yet rarely understood from a truly biblical position. Men, even Christian men, tend to view it through the eyes of the World. The result of this is a "Christian view" that misses entirely or distorts what the Bible actually says while those holding this view live a life dictated by and centered on the World instead of Scripture. So, while many profess a life lived in allegiance to the Savior, they dance to the tune played by the god of this Age.

The New World Order was ordained by God for His purposes!

Jesus & American Culture - The War of World Views

When it comes to how we, as Believers in Christ, conduct our lives on a daily basis, what standard have we chosen to determine and govern our actions? Does the increasingly perverted American culture hold our attention while we adopt their standards? Or do we seek the Culture of Christ for His Disciples as revealed in the Bible? Or is your attitude that of an increasing number among professing Believers, that it really does not matter as long as what you do is done with a heart for God?

Whose culture are you living out? The World's or Christ's?

Jesus, Politics & Allegiance - Whom do You Serve?

When it comes to involvement in the politics of this World as a Believer in Jesus Of the Bible, it's always good to remember our primary citizenship. After all, we are Ambassadors for Christ to a lost and dying World. We represent the political interests of the Kingdom of God to a World system that hung The King of Kings on a cross.

Does your political allegiance belong to  Jesus and His Kingdom?

Jesus is the Standard for Life - How do You Measure Up?

When life is over and all your activities are judged by God according to His Word, just how necessary and important were your actions today?

The Kingdom of God & The World - Spiritual Maturity

                                                   

There are many professing Christians who have yet to acknowledge by their lifestyle that the Kingdom of God and this World system are completely separate entities and at enmity with one another. As Jesus told his disciples, "This world hates me.They will hate you also."

The Barriers of a Christian Worldview - Are All Spiritual Standards Equal?

Has man's involvement with the Bible rendered it untrustworthy?

In this day and age of breaking down ancient barriers and traditions, the idea of Christians depending upon a written standard for the conduct of their life is fast becoming unpopular. Instead, the idea of following the Spirit or seeking spiritual experiences that are not to be argued with or against has become dominant. The Bible is considered archaic and unreliable, since it was fashioned by man and has been tainted and changed by man through the centuries. The Holy Spirit or the spiritual realm is considered the arbiter of all things new, including a new way of living spiritually, and receives the approval of Jesus.

Do we question the Source of spiritual light?

So, if a person has a spiritual experience and receives some type of guidance or direction, it must be followed and trusted. It can't be questioned. To do so is considered being judgmental and contrary to Jesus and his unconditional love and acceptance.

The only problem with this is that this idea behind the New Spirituality is not new in this World. Solomon said that there's nothing new under the sun.

God addressed this type of situation in the Old Testament and in the New Testament, also. The New Testament phraseology is a little different, but just as applicable as the OT. The Apostle John said to "test the spirits, to see whether they are from God or not."

It was a known and accepted fact not all spirits were of the same character and origin, thus their purposes and methodologies were different. So, when encountering spiritual activity, blind faith was to not to be exercised.

There are various avenues of Spirituality - not all are equal.

The ignorance of this Truth from the Bible has lead many astray and down destructive paths not intended by The Father, His Son and the Holy Spirit. May we be more careful about the Way we choose.
