If your faith in Jesus Christ has not changed your life or the desires of your heart, you do not have saving faith.

Many walk the aisle, say the prayer, some are even baptized, yet upon leaving the church, their lives show no evidence of repentance or of a changed heart.

"Marvel not that I said unto thee, Ye must be born again." John 3:7

Many believe 'in' God, many believe 'on' God, but how many believe God?

Luke records these words of our LORD:  "And why call ye me, Lord, Lord, and do not the things which I say?"

Jesus also spoke as recorded in the Gospel of John:  "If ye love me, keep my commandments."

"If anyone loves me, he will obey my teaching. My Father will love him, and we will come to him and make our home with him."

Malachi asks: "A son honors his father, and a servant his master. If I am a father, where is the honor due me? If I am a master, where is the respect due me?" says the LORD Almighty?"

Wherefore by their fruits ye shall know them.

    I have heard so many say "hey, I am a Christian. I was baptized when I was 12" [they are now in their 40's] - but since the age of 12, there has been no change in life style, their feet remain firmly planted in the world - and they feel it is enough to attend church on Christmas and Easter.

    Prayers continue for the lost among us.

    Thanks Lyn for this good word. Paul Washer is indeed a courageous voice crying out in this wilderness we call America.

    Perhaps you should consider, if you have not already done so, posting your concerns on Lloyd' blog as well.

    I will indeed pray that the eyes of his, yea all of our own understanding will be open.

    It is sometimes good to disagree, it challenges us to diligently search His Word.

    We all can use a measure or two or three of discernment in these difficult days.
