Greetings!
How was your day sisters?
Praise God we can know the truth.
"But continue thou in the things which thou hast learned and hast been assured of, knowing of whom thou hast learned them;"
2 Timothy 3:14
"Be not carried about with divers and strange doctrines. For it is a good thing that the heart be established with grace; not with meats, which have not profited them that have been occupied therein."
Hebrews 13:9
I was thinking about how we need to be consistent in our witness and life, sisters. And that is what we do on a daily basis which turns into months and years. When we have been born of the Spirit then we study deeper in the Word and see what God commands of us. And then when we see what to do we do them.
So I was just sharing about how we need to be consistent in our witness. For example, God commands His people to separate (in spiritual matters) from people who claim to be believers who are living in sin. So we do that no matter what the situation whether it be in daily life in not joining together and pretending to have unity in spiritual situations such as Bible studies or gatherings. And we don't change whether that's with one person or many or with family or friends or many people assembled in what is called worship of God. And we don't change either to just do things like weddings or funerals that have elements of worshipping God in often and are not in full truth, just to do those things to please others. I guess what I'm saying is if something is a sin then it a a sin no matter what or when. I did a post on how we may need to separate from others in order to obey and glorify God here. And we know that God's people are called to be separate from sin and people keeping false ways, yet striving for unity amongst the true saints.
And another area for us women once we know how the Lord commands us to dress, we do so constantly not wavering and also headcovering consistently (not giving up if people laugh or say you "don't have to"). Let us love the Lord more than life and what people think about us.
"That we henceforth be no more children, tossed to and fro, and carried about with every wind of doctrine, by the sleight of men, and cunning craftiness, whereby they lie in wait to deceive;"
Ephesians 4:14
Let us rejoice that we have this wonderful life to live to serve our great God who offered us hope and salvation from death. In Him we can overcome.
And there are many areas of course in where we need to be consistent to bring God glory and not bring shame to His name or cause someone to doubt the truth by our poor example. How can anyone seeking see truth if we compromise here and there and be just like everyone else. No. God's holy ways that we are called to are much higher and better than man's ways. Let us be His witnesses where He has called us.
OK that's a quick bit from me that I hope could edify and bless you sisters who are trying to live godly in a wicked and deceived world.
"But thanks be to God, which giveth us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ. Therefore, my beloved brethren, be ye stedfast, unmoveable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, forasmuch as ye know that your labour is not in vain in the Lord."
1 Corinthians 15:57-58
