Whom do you worship? Part 1
One of the most important questions you will ever have to answer after
"who are you?"
- will be; "whom do you worship?"
While you may have many different answers only one will suffice ...
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Some worship things, money, lust, sexual perversion, power, pride...
Many reading this will be turned off because:
- They do not want to address any thought of God in their life.
- They think that they have the right answer, wherever they are.
- They have given themselves over to Satan and the evil he rules.
Yet most people are hopeless lost in the affairs of this world and can not understand
what to do or how to proceed to know as to "where they will spend Eternity!"
This is a sad sad condition and one that requires immediate action!
Because there is only one clear and correct answer!
Since the key problem with most if not everyone human is the pride and
self centeredness which drives the battle field in their minds...
Yes your mind is a continual battle between the Laws and Principles of Almighty God and the wiles of the Devil and His Evil schemes...
Many will not accept this or recognize it never the less it is the Absolute Truth!
Stop and look at your life did you ever notice any times when any such actions
on your part were paramount?
The only answer to those who are truthful is a definite - YES!
So no matter your religious persuasion - each person has sinned and fallen
short of God's Glory!

If you are serious and really want to know?
Where do we start?
The world is full of God's messages and has been collected in the Holy Bible!
Matt 6:33 But seek you first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness;
and all these things shall be added to you.
Then know and understand where and what you are in the Kingdom of God now?
Matthew 22:34-40New International Version (NIV)
The Greatest Commandment
34 Hearing that Jesus had silenced the Sadducees, the Pharisees got together.
35 One of them, an expert in the law,tested him with this question:
36 “Teacher, which is the greatest commandment in the Law?”
35 One of them, an expert in the law,tested him with this question:
36 “Teacher, which is the greatest commandment in the Law?”
37 Jesus replied: “‘Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul
and with all your mind.’[a]
and with all your mind.’[a]
38 This is the first and greatest commandment. 39 And the second is like it:
‘Love your neighbor as yourself.’[b]
‘Love your neighbor as yourself.’[b]
40 All the Law and the Prophets hang on these two commandments.”

If you cannot understand this then either:
- you are not really seriously seeking the face of God in your life or
- else you have sold out to Satan and the his evil empire...
Finding God in your life is a personal experience and requires
your effort and inquiry!
The true Gospel message of Christ requires Prayer, Faith and
acceptance of the Word of God in your life!
Unless you seek the Absolute Truth in life - you will surely
not find the Peace that passes all understanding!

Stand Firm in the Lord Phillipians 4:7
…6 Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication with
thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God.
thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God.
7 And the peace of God, which surpasses all comprehension, will guard
your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.
your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.
*** The peace that passes understanding as referred to in
the Bible has to do with peace with God.
It does not refer to peace in this world.
Peace with God means that all the sins (past, present, and future)
of the individual have been forgiven - through the Blood sacrifice
in the Atoning death of Christ over 2000 years ago...
This is also brought our human salvation, or
being born again (in the spirit).
It passes all understanding because we cannot ever completely
understand why God would forgive sinners such as we all have been.
* True, Christ made the intimate payment for sinners.
But how great must His mercy and love have been to make
such a sacrifice.
An unthinkable sacrifice that God allowed His Only Begotten Son to to freely die for lost sinners... In the human form of Jesus - He - Himself voluntarily died.
*** More follows as we show the Kingdom of God in our life!
