Count The Cost
There is a
cost, a price to pay, which Jesus tells of, in His Word, when one stands
up for the Word of God, and, in truth, that price certainly doesn't win
any popularity contests. If you think about how hated Christ was, how
hated His disciples were, yes, even beaten and imprisoned, etc. because
of the Truth, well, in these days, in which we live, I think we're
beginning to discover this same hatred toward God's Word, to be greatly
on the rise. I am discovering, on a daily basis, many that I meet,
proclaim the Bible to be nothing but lies and deceptions, and written,
not by the true God, but by but by man.
The hatred toward the God of the Bible, is feerce! The most important
thing is, that we learn to be sensitive to the voice of the Holy Spirit,
and speak only those things He would have us speak, and not that of
ourselves. I truly believe, there's an urgent need for discernment to
the heart and mind of the Christian. It's not always easy to know what
is God motivated, verses what is self motivated, however, the more we
mature in Him, the more we grow in His Word, the more confident
we become, in knowing what it is He desires of us. Be blessed!
