I turned toward the voice which was talking to me, and when I turned, I saw seven gold lamp stands. There was someone like the Son of Man among the lamp stands. He was wearing a robe that reached his feet. He wore a gold belt around his waist. His head and his hair were white like wool—like snow. His eyes were like flames of fire. His feet were like glowing bronze refined in a furnace. His voice was like the sound of raging waters. In his right hand he held seven stars, and out of his mouth came a sharp, two-edged sword. His face was like the sun when it shines in all its brightness.
Revelation 1:12-16 GWT
Are they really a good person?
Dear friend, never imitate evil, but imitate good. The person who does good is from God. The person who does evil has never seen God.
3 John 1:11 GWT
Those that do evil have never even seen God. In short, don’t believe them just because they say they are a Christian.
God is in control?
God is in control? Really? Don’t believe the religious folk.
What’s the Word say about the present world we live in?
1 John 5:19
We know that we are from God, and that the whole world is under the control of the evil one.
GWT
Don’t get too confortable in the corruption of the world
” Don’t love the world and what it offers. Those who love the world don’t have the Father’s love in them.”
1 John 2:15 GWT
Are they really a Christian?
Here’s the best way to measure if someone really is a believer and follower of Jesus.
” The person who says, “I know him,” but doesn’t obey his commandments is a liar. The truth isn’t in that person. But whoever obeys what Christ says is the kind of person in whom God’s love is perfected. That’s how we know we are in Christ.”
1 John 2:4-5 GWT
A New Heaven And A New Earth
2 Peter 3:10
” The day of the Lord will come like a thief. On that day heaven will pass away with a roaring sound. Everything that makes up the universe will burn and be destroyed. The earth and everything that people have done on it will be exposed.”
2 Peter 3:13
” But we look forward to what God has promised—a new heaven and a new earth—a place where everything that has God’s approval lives.”
Be a leader, not a manager
” Don’t be rulers over the people entrusted to you, but be examples for the flock to follow.”
1 Peter 5:3 GWT
Speakers At churches need to be in tune with God
” Whoever speaks must speak God’s words. Whoever serves must serve with the strength God supplies so that in every way God receives glory through Jesus Christ. Glory and power belong to Jesus Christ forever and ever! Amen.
Share Christ’s Sufferings”
1 Peter 4:11 GWT
We don’t allow just anyone to speak. We don’t allow anyone who can sing to lead worship or even sing on the stage if the love and anointing of God is not on them to do it.
With these simple guidelines from 1 Peter what do we get? We get anointed services where Gods presence and power is evident. I love being in Gods church.
Be Loving And Warm
” Above all, love each other warmly, because love covers many sins. Welcome each other as guests without complaining. Each of you as a good manager must use the gift that God has given you to serve others.”
1 Peter 4:8-10 GWT
