Today I want us to consider prayerfully, the methods of Jesus Christ. When we read how Jesus operated it was always pure. He never had to use illustrations that might throw His followers back into "flashback mode." He didn't use the word Hell, the way some are choosing to use it. I know this is 2011 right?!?! What's your point? When we try to use ungodly means to get a Godly end it's not edifying to the LORD. I read that a Pastor in California uses worldy songs and movies in California to teach from. I saw a T-shirt that spoke about forgiveness but was so offensive to me as a CHRISTian, that I can't even utter it up here. Let's look at God's word.
King James Bible
But the wisdom that is from above is first pure, then peaceable, gentle, [and] easy to be intreated, full of mercy and good fruits, without partiality, and without hypocrisy.
New Living Translation (©2007)
But the wisdom from above is first of all pure. It is also peace loving, gentle at all times, and willing to yield to others. It is full of mercy and good deeds. It shows no favoritism and is always sincere.
New American Standard Bible (©1995)
But the wisdom from above is first pure, then peaceable, gentle, reasonable, full of mercy and good fruits, unwavering, without hypocrisy.
Teach people and evangelize people God's way in purity. People have been getting set free and Saved ALL these thousands of years through the pure WORD of GOD, let's keep it that way. Pray and ask God to help your wisdom and ways stay pure personally, and let us pray for all our Leaders too,so that they won't get caught up in presenting the Gospel in a contaminated way either.
For the LORD Takes Pleasure in His People..Psalm 149:4
