Choosing the Right Mirror – God’s Word



The Word of God is our mirror. As Christians we must look into it as the Bereans did. The world wants us to see things from the wrong perspective. The mirror they want us to look into is a trick mirror and will only lead to death and sorrow. That is the problem with this whole LGBT thing. It is the problem with the whole pornagraphy thing and the selling of sex in our world. That is why we allow the business of killing our babies through legalized abortion. This is why we have this terrible tragedy of moral decline in our country.

James 1:22-25
But be doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving yourselves. For if anyone is a hearer of the word and not a doer, he is like a man who looks intently at his natural face in a mirror. For he looks at himself and goes away and at once forgets what he was like. But the one who looks into the perfect law, the law of liberty, and perseveres, being no hearer who forgets but a doer who acts, he will be blessed in his doing.

Christians, the standard for living is found in God's Word. Look into it to see how you stand up to God's holiness. Judge the things of the world by it as opposed to letting the world dictate what is right and wrong. Satan is the "prince of the power of the air" and he is leading the sons of disobedience.

I leave you with a message from God's Word. Be blessed by it, in it, and live for it.

Ephesians 2:1-10
And you were dead in your trespasses and sins, in which you formerly walked according to the course of this world, according to the prince of the power of the air, of the spirit that is now working in the sons of disobedience. Among them we too all formerly lived in the lusts of our flesh, indulging the desires of the flesh and of the mind, and were by nature children of wrath, even as the rest. But God, being rich in mercy, because of His great love with which He loved us, even when we were dead in our transgressions, made us alive together with Christ (by grace you have been saved), and raised us up with Him, and seated us with Him in the heavenly places in Christ Jesus, so that in the ages to come He might show the surpassing riches of His grace in kindness toward us in Christ Jesus. For by grace you have been saved through faith; and that not of yourselves, it is the gift of God; not as a result of works, so that no one may boast. For we are His workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand so that we would walk in them.
