Birds Of A Feather

Ray Evans • March 16, 2020
You've probably heard it said, "You are known by the company you keep."

I learned it the hard way...blackballed by a Fraternity for associating with the "wrong" brother.  How was I to know he wasn't "liked" by his Frat Bros?

The rejection hurt.  Nevertheless, it was a valuable lesson learned at a young age.

One is either good or bad.  James 3:11 tells us, you can't get fresh and salt water from the same tap at the same time.   I'm not saying  "good" people can't do bad things, but when they do bad things, they're not really "good" people, are they?

You might be religious.  You might go to church. You might even think you're a "good" person...but, if you sin, you do so willingly; and the wages of sin, is death.

Sometimes sin is easy to identify, like being asked to rob a liquor store; sometimes it's not, like taking office supplies home from work. 

Irrespective of what Dennis Prager says, God doesn't grade on the curve...stealing is stealing.  To us, stealing and killing are not the same, but scripture says, "For whosoever shall keep the whole law, and yet offend in one point, he is guilty of all." (James 2:10)  This is, or should be, a very sobering scripture. 

If you think God isn't serious about sin, remember, Moses (a great man of God)?  Moses, after leading the Israelite's out of Egypt and the trials and tribulation he suffered in the wilderness, was denied the Promised Land for one small offense (striking the rock twice).  You would "think," after all Moses did for God, God would "overlook" one tiny foible; but, God is Holy and expects us to be holy.  "Stealing," like lying and cheating is a matter of the heart, not the head...lying, cheating, stealing, etc., is disobedience and disobedience will not be rewarded with life and blessing.

Staying away from evil people is good advice, but there is really only one way to avoid a sinful lifestyle...you must be reborn Spiritually.  If you want a happier, healthier, wealthier life now, and the assurance of eternal life, you must be born again.  It's not an option.

Until you're reborn Spiritually; until you know, without a doubt, God is real...nothing else matters.

There's A New World Coming

Believing in the "Rapture" relieves you of the responsibility to do anything except believe in Jesus...who will magically whisk you away to heaven. It's a lie, designed to keep you from preparing or being prepared for what's coming.
Job 32:9 Great men are not always wise: neither do the aged understand judgment.

Be Careful Whom You Choose To Follow

A lot of well-known and well-respected preachers talk about how long they have been preaching, as if the longer one preaches the more qualified one is to preach.
Job 28:28 And unto man he said, Behold, the fear of the Lord, that is wisdom

A Part or Apart?

By Ray Evans • May 7, 2020
This may seem a strange question, but it never ceases to amaze me how few people allow God to play an active role in their daily lives. Why anyone would not want the creator of the universe to help them every second, every minute and every hour of every day, is simply beyond me.
Psalms 15:1 Lord, who shall abide in thy tabernacle? who shall dwell in thy holy hill?

The $64,000 Question

By Ray Evans • May 6, 2020
The question in Psalms 15, "Lord, who shall abide in thy tabernacle?" probably has as many answers as there are preachers, but they all stem from a common belief: "Everyone who believes in Jesus goes to heaven." Sounds great, but is it true?
