THE MENACE OF THE RELIGIOUS MOVIE

 THE MENACE OF THE RELIGIOUS MOVIE BY A. W. TOZER

When God gave to Moses the blueprint of the Tabernacle He was careful to include every detail; then, lest Moses should get the notion that he could improve on the original plan, God warned him solemnly, "And look that thou make them after their pattern, which was shown thee in the mount." God, not Moses, was the architect. To decide the plan was the prerogative of the Deity. No one dare alter it so much as a hairbreadth.

THIS DWELLING PLACE OF GOD

As a Christian I always apply my heart to search for more powerful ways of fellowshipping with the Holy Spirit. This leads me to pray lengthy and regularly on daily basis. I spend lot of time studying and meditating on the Word of God as any Christian should. I will share with you this interesting knowledge to help you mature in your fellowship as a believer in Christ. Let us begin by looking at the scripture below;

FIRST THINGS FIRST

In Matthew 6:25-34, Jesus Christ teaches the people about priorities. He makes them know that the most important thing in life is to seek the Kingdom of God and His righteousness. A priority refers to a principal thing – the most important thing. Seeking God should be number one on our To-do list always, because it opens the way for us to receive all things we desire in our lives.

8 REASONS WHY SOME PEOPLE CAN LEAVE THE CHURCH

 

The Church is the household of faith for which all who believe in God through Jesus Christ belong. But God has appointed men to be stewards which has caused many people to think that the church is for a General Overseer or Founder. I am going to share with you some major reasons why some people can leave a church to another or to become unchurched or to another religion.

14 INCREDIBLE QUOTES ON SOUL WINNING

    To bring the Holy Word of God to humanity, God move holy men by His Holy Spirit to write His oracles, which we call the Bible. God authored the Bible by inspiring men to write. The same way God has chosen men and women to do His work, and has filled them with His wisdom. These men and women of God however had the same commission, to win souls. “Let’s plunder hell and populate heaven” says Rodney Howard-Brown. Here are fourteen incredible quotes on soul winning; 

1. God forms man, sin deforms him, the school informs him but only Christ transforms him, therefore preach Christ to ALL Men – C. H. Spurgeon 

8 FACTS ABOUT JUDAS ISCARIOT

     Judas Iscariot has gained a lot of popularity in the world because of his treachery and ignominious death. Yes, he was a follower of Jesus, who betrayed his Master and later committed suicide, but is that all? Here are some facts about this fellow you should know; 

1. He was an apostle (Mk. 3:13-19) and part of the apostolic ministry (Acts 1:16-17, 25) 
2. He was trusted by Jesus (Psa. 41:9) 
3. He was the first treasurer of the Church (Jn. 13:29) 
4. He was a baptizer in water (Jn. 4:1, 2) 

3 CHARACTERISTICS OF THOSE WHO OPPOSE THE GOSPEL

 

After some years of preaching and teaching the Gospel of Christ, I have learned that there are more who oppose the gospel than those who advocate it. Very sadly most of these opposers are Christians. Such people (i.e. opposers) I call the generation of Jannes-and-Jambres.

Apostle Paul mentions in his second letter to Timothy that, “And just as Jannes and Jambres opposed Moses, so these men also oppose the truth, men of depraved mind, rejected as regards the faith.” (3:8) These two names (i.e. Jannes and Jambres) does not appear in the Old Testament but their rebellion is well recorded as they opposed Moses by replicating some of his miracles (Exod. 7:11) “Then Pharaoh also called for the wise men and the sorcerers, and they also, the magicians of Egypt, did the same with their secret arts.” There are more of such people in our days, pretentious people, hiding in our churches, seminaries, schools, homes, work places and parliaments. Our generation has seen many unbelievers, Atheists, Muhammadans and etc. oppose the faith publicly than any generation, but likely unaware of Jannes-and-Jambres Christians.

THE 95 THESIS OF MARTIN LUTHER

Out of love for the truth and the desire to bring it to light, the following propositions will be discussed at Wittenberg, under the presidency of the Reverend Father Martin Luther, Master of Arts and of Sacred Theology, and Lecturer in Ordinary on the same at that place. Wherefore he requests that those who are unable to be present and debate orally with us, may do so by letter. In the Name our Lord Jesus Christ. Amen.

1. Our Lord and Master Jesus Christ, when He said Poenitentiam agite, willed that the whole life of believers should be repentance.

2. This word cannot be understood to mean sacramental penance, i.e., confession and satisfaction, which is administered by the priests.

3. Yet it means not inward repentance only; nay, there is no inward repentance which does not outwardly work divers mortifications of the flesh.

4. The penalty [of sin], therefore, continues so long as hatred of self continues; for this is the true inward repentance, and continues until our entrance into the kingdom of heaven.

WHEN WE WORSHIP THE RESURRECTED CHRIST

 

Worship is so important that a slight negligence of it would render us merely beasts scavenging the earth realm purposelessly. The Disciples were aligned to the purpose of God when they worshiped the Resurrected Christ. “But the eleven disciples proceeded to Galilee…And when they saw Him, they worshiped Him…And Jesus came up and spoke to them…” (Matt 28:16-18) 

When the disciples worshiped Christ He came to them and spoke deep things unto them, things which were not committed unto them when they walked with their Master for three and half years. He spoke unto them their purpose and whatever that pertains unto it. 

A man without purpose is no more than a beast. Also a man with a self-inspired purpose which does not concur with the purpose of God struggles to void. It is imperative for the creature to walk in the purpose for which the Creator made it. Just as a robot made to fulfill task “A” ends up functioning to fulfill task “X” is a failure, man which fulfills anything different from God’s intent for him is a complete garbage. 

THE GOSPEL ACCORDING TO THE YOUTH

One of the very famous scriptures on youthfulness is in First Timothy; “Let no man despise thy youth; but be thou an example of the believers, in word, in conversation, in charity, in spirit, in faith, in purity.” (4:12). This scripture has gained popularity because (1) the greater percentage of every population consist of youths, and (2) the youth are the most dissatisfied in society. Every youth with the strength of this scripture craves liberty.

Paul the Apostle told these things to Timothy, a youthful pastor. He admonished him to fulfill his ministry amidst the influence of the elders.

12 PROBLEMS WITH THE CHURCH IN AFRICA

Christ is the head of the Church and He thus has the authority to judge His own Church. How dare I say that the Church has a problem? I mean not to rule the Church with Christ, but just as the church in Pergamos held unto the doctrine of Balaam and the doctrine of the Nicholitans (Rev. 2:12-17), the church in Africa has held unto strange doctrines.
