Fellow Christians,

Why behave? Why not live a life of sin? What is your motivation? Is it fear? Is it because you want a reward? Do you do good for its own sake?

Let's chat.

There is no "good" that can be done in and of ourselves, outside of Christ.

Amen Brother, Amen!

But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you. Matthew 6:33

Daddy's Kids

And because ye are sons, God hath sent forth the Spirit of his Son into your hearts, crying, Abba, Father. Galatians 4:6

Love The LORD

If ye abide in me, and my words abide in you, ye shall ask what ye will, and it shall be done unto you.

Herein is my Father glorified, that ye bear much fruit; so shall ye be my disciples.

As the Father hath loved me, so have I loved you: continue ye in my love. John 15:7-9

With All Their Heart

And Jesus answered him, The first of all the commandments is, Hear, O Israel; The Lord our God is one Lord:

[30] And thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind, and with all thy strength: this is the first commandment. Mark 12:29-30

And His Holy Words Are Food For Their Soul

Thy words were found, and I did eat them; and thy word was unto me the joy and rejoicing of mine heart: for I am called by thy name, O LORD God of hosts. Jeremiah 15:16

And The Very Bane Of Sin

Thy word have I hid in mine heart, that I might not sin against thee. Psalms 119:11

Joe, please desist from replying to my threads. I've asked you kindly before.

Let's chat.

Are we chatting about this for chatting's sake, or is there a reason for this?

I'm asking because often in these message boards what starts out seeming like an innocent question turns into some kind of "I got you" agenda.

Plus, it would help me figure out best how to answer the question if I knew where it was going.

Why not just give an honest answer? It is a straightforward question, no?

Wow, hersey ... people answer, but you reject what they have to say. A Brother answers and you tell them to stay our of your thread. It is clear that you have an agenda, yet have failed to tell us what it is. I, for one, feel that you have been rude to this point and that this thread should be closed.

There is an agenda behind every question that people ask, pops. With the exception of FresnoJoe, who ought to know by now that I do not welcome his tangents in my theads, who else was I rude to?

:bored-1: Wow direct scripture from the Word of God is tangents?

Not all threads start with an agenda. Many of us are here to learn.

Posted

Hebrews 10: 28-31 states it very clear.

verse 28 Someone who disregards the Laws of Moses is put to death without mercy on the word of 2 or 3 witnesses. (Ref Deut 17:6; 19:15)

verse 29 Think how much worse will be the punishment deserved by someone who has trampled underfoot the Son of G-d; who has treaeted as something common the blood of teh covenant which made him holy; and who has insulted the Spirit, giver of G-d's grace! (Ref Exodus 24:8)

verse 30 For the One we know is the One who said, "Vengeance is my responsibility: I will repay," and then said, "ADONAI will judge his people."

verse 31 It is a terrible thing to fall into the hands of the living G-d!

The word above is very clear. It does not get any simpler than that. IF anyone wants to be blessed they have to live by the Laws of Moses which includes all 303 of the Noahide Moral Laws. :bored-1::thumbsup::thumbsup:

Shabbat Shalom,

Yacov

I agree, but you didn't answer the question.

Actually I did answer the question. You asked about motivation. It is only Christ who can motivate the believer to do any good. Otherwise it's just vainglory. So..."why" do any good? The answer is Christ.

    • You are coming up higher in this season – above the assignments of character assassination and verbal arrows sent to manage you, contain you, and derail your purpose. Where you have had your dreams and sleep robbed, as well as your peace and clarity robbed – leaving you feeling foggy, confused, and heavy – God is, right now, bringing freedom back -- now you will clearly see the smoke and mirrors that were set to distract you and you will disengage.

      Right now God is declaring a "no access zone" around you, and your enemies will no longer have any entry point into your life. Oil is being poured over you to restore the years that the locust ate and give you back your passion. This is where you will feel a fresh roar begin to erupt from your inner being, and a call to leave the trenches behind and begin your odyssey in your Christ calling moving you to bear fruit that remains as you minister to and disciple others into their Christ identity.

      This is where you leave the trenches and scale the mountain to fight from a different place, from victory, from peace, and from rest. Now watch as God leads you up higher above all the noise, above all the chaos, and shows you where you have been seated all along with Him in heavenly places where you are UNTOUCHABLE. This is where you leave the soul fight, and the mind battle, and learn to fight differently.

      You will know how to live like an eagle and lead others to the same place of safety and protection that God led you to, which broke you out of the silent prison you were in. Put your war boots on and get ready to fight back! Refuse to lay down -- get out of bed and rebuke what is coming at you. Remember where you are seated and live from that place.

      Acts 1:8 - “But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you, and you will be my witnesses … to the end of the earth.”

    • George Whitten, the visionary behind Worthy Ministries and Worthy News, explores the timing of the Simchat Torah War in Israel. Is this a water-breaking moment? Does the timing of the conflict on October 7 with Hamas signify something more significant on the horizon?

    • Understanding the Enemy!

      I thought I write about the flip side of a topic, and how to recognize the attempts of the enemy to destroy lives and how you can walk in His victory!

      For the Apostle Paul taught us not to be ignorant of enemy's tactics and strategies.

      2 Corinthians 2:112  Lest Satan should get an advantage of us: for we are not ignorant of his devices. 

      So often, we can learn lessons by learning and playing "devil's" advocate.  When we read this passage,

      Mar 3:26  And if Satan rise up against himself, and be divided, he cannot stand, but hath an end. 
      Mar 3:27  No man can enter into a strong man's house, and spoil his goods, except he will first bind the strongman; and then he will spoil his house. 

      Here we learn a lesson that in order to plunder one's house you must first BIND up the strongman.  While we realize in this particular passage this is referring to God binding up the strongman (Satan) and this is how Satan's house is plundered.  But if you carefully analyze the enemy -- you realize that he uses the same tactics on us!  Your house cannot be plundered -- unless you are first bound.   And then Satan can plunder your house!

    • Daniel: Pictures of the Resurrection, Part 3

      Shalom everyone,

      As we continue this study, I'll be focusing on Daniel and his picture of the resurrection and its connection with Yeshua (Jesus).

    • Abraham and Issac: Pictures of the Resurrection, Part 2
      Shalom everyone,

      As we continue this series the next obvious sign of the resurrection in the Old Testament is the sign of Isaac and Abraham.

      Gen 22:1  After these things God tested Abraham and said to him, "Abraham!" And he said, "Here I am."
      Gen 22:2  He said, "Take your son, your only son Isaac, whom you love, and go to the land of Moriah, and offer him there as a burnt offering on one of the mountains of which I shall tell you."

      So God "tests" Abraham and as a perfect picture of the coming sacrifice of God's only begotten Son (Yeshua - Jesus) God instructs Issac to go and sacrifice his son, Issac.  Where does he say to offer him?  On Moriah -- the exact location of the Temple Mount.
