"Tend to your heart and mind daily, and pray your way through life"~ Pastor John Collins, John Collins Ministries |
Are we any different from the Israelites who time and time
again turned away from God? As individuals and a nation, do we take the
history of the Bible and
really read it, understand it, and learn to fear and revere our just
God? The Old Testament was not replaced by the New Testament and the life
of Jesus Christ. The Old Testament stands as a testimony for us, examples
if you will, of how we should NOT behave in the face of God who will judge us
fairly. God gave chances to the Israelites again and again, with the best
chance the resurrection of Jesus. It is up to us to choose whether we
accept the truth that is written, and Pastor John
Collins of John Collins Ministries is redeeming the Gospel so
that we can understand that truth, once and for all, to make an educated choice
in truth, knowledge and wisdom.
From John Collins Ministries:
“You will say then, ‘Branches were broken off that I might
be grafted in.’ Well said. Because of unbelief they were broken off,
and you stand by faith. Do not be haughty, but fear. For if God did
not spare the natural branches, He may not spare you either.” Romans 11:19-21 (NKJV).
Why is the Old Testament relevant? It is there to
teach you how God deals
with His people. As believers in Jesus
Christ, you must know what is expected of you in your relationship
with God and in order to know this you are to become knowledgeable in
how He dealt with the Jews who are the natural branches of the olive tree,
while you are of the wild olive tree.
There is a need to recognize the mistakes that the Jewish people made in their relationship with God so that you do not
make the same ones. Do not become overconfident in your faith but always maintain reverence and
awe in your contemplation of
the Lord.
Do not become too caught up in making money and gaining financial success that
you forget the basics of your faith.
Do not forget to tend to your heart and mind daily and to pray your
way through life.
There are just too many people that do not put in any real
effort or consistent effort toward getting into heaven but just assume that
they are going there. Don’t take Jesus for
granted but work your butt off to do as He has told you to do.
Never walk through life with any conceit because you know
that Jesus is the way, the truth and the life and you believe in Him
but have humility and pity for those that have yet to come to that knowledge
and be willing to live a life that shines for Jesus so that others may come to
the cross because of you.
“Therefore consider the goodness and severity of God: on
those who fell, severity; but toward you, goodness, if you continue in His
goodness. Otherwise you also will be cut off.” Romans 11:22 (NKJV).
