WE MUST TAKE WARNING
I recently taught I Peter. Next week will be Jude. Whether in these books or in Colossians or any number of warnings by Christ, it is staggering to me how many people just chug along.
God says not to tolerate the wicked yet most Christians regularly invite them into our homes! Whether Hollywood fare with cursing and immoral themes or charlatan preachers, people many would not answer the door for are on their big screens infiltrating their spirits. SHUT THEM OUT!
We must also take care to be immersed in the word so that BIble expositors cannot lead us astray. We must further not let too much of GOOD THINGS compromise our first love for the Lord. Sports, cars, family time or even "ministry": can become so time-consuming that the Lord is frozen out. We must always put him first. I was taught that first comes God, second family, third word, and fourth ministry. When God is first, the rest will work. When he is not, none of the rest will avail much.
