Men, God is calling. Are you listening?
Proverbs 8:4 KJV Unto you, O men, I call; and my voice is to the sons of man.
Men complicate Christ to circumvent the truth; God makes Him simple so that men are without excuse.

Every morning, I call upon the LORD to understand His instruction and follow it according to His will, knowing that if I do, the rest will resolve by His grace.
Proverbs 8:10 KJV Receive my instruction, and not silver; and knowledge rather than choice gold.
Proverbs 8:11 KJV For wisdom is better than rubies; and all the things that may be desired are not to be compared to it.
I've observed that in many church circles, people have learned to tame their profane speech, yet pride and arrogance govern their actions. It's impossible to hate evil without hating pride and arrogance.
Proverbs 8:13 KJV The fear of the LORD is to hate evil: pride, and arrogancy, and the evil way, and the froward mouth, do I hate.

Matthew 6:19 KJV Lay not up for yourselves treasures upon earth, where moth and rust doth corrupt, and where thieves break through and steal:
Matthew 6:20 KJV But lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust doth corrupt, and where thieves do not break through nor steal:
This is the voice of Jesus Christ. If you hear His voice and love Him, you have found life. But if you ignore His voice and hate Him, all you will ever know is death.
Proverbs 8:34 KJV Blessed is the man that heareth me, watching daily at my gates, waiting at the posts of my doors.
Proverbs 8:35 KJV For whoso findeth me findeth life, and shall obtain favour of the LORD.
Proverbs 8:36 KJV But he that sinneth against me wrongeth his own soul: all they that hate me love death.
Paul urged the Corinthians to honor their pledges and complete their financial contributions to God's work.

You can't outgive God, but you can foolishly give to charlatans. Even if your ignorance leads you astray, your giving to the Lord will still be without fail. However, do your due diligence and research, including examining your own church's spending habits.

I also appreciate all those who have partnered with Gospilled for the glory of God and His Kingdom.
2 Corinthians 9:12 KJV For the administration of this service not only supplieth the want of the saints, but is abundant also by many thanksgivings unto God;
2 Corinthians 9:13 KJV Whiles by the experiment of this ministration they glorify God for your professed subjection unto the gospel of Christ, and for your liberal distribution unto them, and unto all men;
We give because God gave a gift for which we can never thank Him enough.
2 Corinthians 9:15 KJV Thanks be unto God for his unspeakable gift.
Confessing our sins to one another isn't the same as confessing to God. Through Jesus Christ, we have direct access to God's throne.

1 John 1:9 KJV If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.

Deuteronomy 5:9 KJV Thou shalt not bow down thyself unto them, nor serve them: for I the LORD thy God am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children unto the third and fourth generation of them that hate me,

Murder is the key issue here, not national, local, or personal defense. Otherwise, God would have violated His own commandment by commanding war, policing, and self-defense.
Deuteronomy 5:17 KJV Thou shalt not kill.
This includes heart adultery, such as pornography and illicit romance novels.
Deuteronomy 5:18 KJV Neither shalt thou commit adultery.
This includes government benefits and hourly wages.
Deuteronomy 5:19 KJV Neither shalt thou steal.
False facts lead to false accusations. Get the facts or do not accuse.
Deuteronomy 5:20 KJV Neither shalt thou bear false witness against thy neighbour.
Even the worst of pornography is nothing new.
Deuteronomy 5:21 KJV Neither shalt thou desire thy neighbour's wife, neither shalt thou covet thy neighbour's house, his field, or his manservant, or his maidservant, his ox, or his ass, or any thing that is thy neighbour's.
