THE DO'S AND DON'TS OF LIFE
(Written by Minister Sherry Ivy on 8-22-05)
On this Christian journey we will have a lot of choices to make. But we will always make the right one if we listen to the Holy Spirit. He knows all things and He will teach us the right things to do. "But the Comforter, which is the Holy Ghost, whom the Father will send in my name, he shall teach you all things, and bring all things to your remembrance, whatsoever I have said unto you." (John 14:26)
DO: Live for JESUS He died for your sins and mine so we can have eternal life with Him. "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." (John 3:16)
DON'T: Live for the DEVIL he will Steal, Kill, and Destroy you. "The thief cometh not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy." (John 10:10)
DO: Tell the TRUTH it will make you free. "And you shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free." (John 8:32)
DON'T: Be a LIAR God can't tarry them in His sight. "He that worketh deceit shall not dwell within my house: he that telleth lies shall not tarry in my sight." (Psalm 101:7)
DO: LOVE GOD And Your NEIGHBOUR. "Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul and with all thy mind. Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself." (Matthew 22:37-39)
DON'T: Have HATE in your heart for Your Brother. "Thou shalt not hate thy brother in thine heart: thou shalt in any wise rebuke thy neighbour, and not suffer sin upon him. (Leviticus 19:17)
DO: Walk by FAITH. "For we walk by faith, not by sight." (2 Corinthians 5:7) "But without faith it is impossible to please him: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him." (Hebrew 11:6)
DON'T: have DOUBT in your heart. "For verily I say unto you, That whosoever shall say unto this mountain, Be thou removed, and be thou cast into the sea; and shall not doubt in his heart, but shall believe that those things which he saith shall come to pass; he shall have whatsoever he saith." (Mark 11:23)
So be encouraged today and always remember if you choose to do the right things in life you will hear the Lord say, "Well done, good and faithful servant; thou hast been faithful over a few things, I will make thee ruler over many things: enter thou into the joy of thy lord." (Matthew 25:23)
