The Lion Chronicles – Quick Snippets of Truth in A World Full of Wolves
I’m your host, Pastor John, and this is the show where I bring you the honest truth of God’s Word, in 3 minutes or less.
A common problem, in the body of believers, is the problem of being unequally yoked. Said plainly in 2 Corinthians 6:14 Be ye not unequally yoked together with unbelievers: for what fellowship hath righteousness with unrighteousness? and what communion hath light with darkness? It is one thing to welcome sinners with open arms and it is another to befriend sinners. A false theology, that’s gained widespread popularity among the majority of churches, is that Jesus Christ was friends with sinners. This is no closer to the truth than mixing oil with water. The Bible simply does not support this claim.
Jesus Christ welcomed sinners to turn from their sins and their worldly desires to follow Him, but He never chased anyone down. To the lame, He said in John 5:14 Afterward Jesus findeth him in the temple, and said unto him, Behold, thou art made whole: sin no more, lest a worse thing come unto thee. To the rich, young ruler in Luke 18:22 Now when Jesus heard these things, he said unto him, Yet lackest thou one thing: sell all that thou hast, and distribute unto the poor, and thou shalt have treasure in heaven: and come, follow me.
It is important we witness to those around us and share our faith. The blood of Jesus Christ and our testimonies are the most important things we have, as born again believers, as per Revelation 12:11, but we are never commanded to fellowship with those who are not born again. As it is written in 1 Corinthians 10:21 Ye cannot drink the cup of the Lord, and the cup of devils: ye cannot be partakers of the Lord's table, and of the table of devils. Separate yourself from those who are still in darkness. You are the light of the world. Do not fellowship with darkness.
Thought challenge of the day! We’re all sponges. Who do you know is a bad influence to your personal walk with Jesus Christ? Name each person.
