Distortions and Lies satan wants to Spread

The Devil has infiltrated the professed church with manmade traditions and false doctrines. The Bible prophesies of this "falling away".

Psalm 97:10 O you who love the Lord, hate evil; He preserves the lives of His saints (the children of God), He delivers them out of the hand of the wicked.

Only when we start living holy can we know what true praise is. We can say with the Psalmist, "GREAT is the LORD and GREATLY to be praised, and his GREATNESS is unsearchable!" We will know what "Thank you, Jesus!" really means because you have seen the power of God to transform you from a sin-plagued wretch to a RIGHTEOUS son of the living God. You will be a living miracle. Know that the Bible says, "As he is, so are we in this world," and in another place, we are to be "partakers of the divine nature"?

When a Christian studies and obeys their Bible, you are free from the millions of distortions and lies told inside and outside of churches. We will walk in power--power to live right, talk right, think right, serve right, love right. Everything right comes from knowing the Word of God and walking in the power of the Holy Ghost. To be Bible minded is to be Christ-minded. Nothing in the Christian life should be divorced from the Lord Jesus Christ and His word--whether washing dishes, soulwinning, working, studying, fellowshipping or sitting in a church pew.

1 Corinthians 9:24 Do you not know that in a race all the runners compete, but [only] one receives the prize? So run [your race] that you may lay hold [of the prize] and make it yours.
Hebrews 4:12 For the Word that God speaks is alive and full of power [making it active, operative, energizing, and effective]; it is sharper than any two-edged sword, penetrating to the dividing line of the breath of life (soul) and [the immortal] spirit, and of joints and marrow [of the deepest parts of our nature], exposing and sifting and analyzing and judging the very thoughts and purposes of the heart.
II Corinthians 10:3-5 3 For though we walk (live) in the flesh, we are not carrying on our warfare according to the flesh and using mere human weapons. 4 For the weapons of our warfare are not physical [weapons of flesh and blood], but they are mighty before God for the overthrow and destruction of strongholds, 5 [Inasmuch as we] refute arguments and theories and reasonings and every proud and lofty thing that sets itself up against the [true] knowledge of God; and we lead every thought and purpose away captive into the obedience of Christ (the Messiah, the Anointed One),
Ephesians 6:12 For we are not wrestling with flesh and blood [contending only with physical opponents], but against the despotisms, against the powers, against [the master spirits who are] the world rulers of this present darkness, against the spirit forces of wickedness in the heavenly (supernatural) sphere.

Resting in the hands, of the Lord.

Ephesians 1:2 May grace (God's unmerited favor) and spiritual peace [which means peace with God and harmony, unity, and undisturbedness] be yours from God our Father and from the Lord Jesus Christ.
