Part of my goal today is to not be a hypocrite.
Many know and quote this verse:
Matthew 7:1 KJV Judge not, that ye be not judged.
Few understand that it’s spoken to the hypocrite.
Matthew 7:5 KJV Thou hypocrite, first cast out the beam out of thine own eye; and then shalt thou see clearly to cast out the mote out of thy brother's eye.
There is no point in arguing with a hypocrite.
Matthew 7:6 KJV Give not that which is holy unto the dogs, neither cast ye your pearls before swine, lest they trample them under their feet, and turn again and rend you.

Matthew 7:8 KJV For every one that asketh receiveth; and he that seeketh findeth; and to him that knocketh it shall be opened.
The first part of the Great Commandment, which fulfills all the law and the prophets, is to love God with all your heart, soul, mind, and strength. The second part is to love your neighbor as yourself. If you obey part one, you will obey part two.
Matthew 7:12 KJV Therefore all things whatsoever ye would that men should do to you, do ye even so to them: for this is the law and the prophets.
Social media feeds confirm this every single day.
Matthew 7:13 KJV Enter ye in at the strait gate: for wide is the gate, and broad is the way, that leadeth to destruction, and many there be which go in thereat:
Matthew 7:14 KJV Because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it.
There is plenty of rotten fruit in America. You might need to dig deeper into the tree's depths to find the good fruit, as it's rarely visible on the surface, but rest assured, it's there. If you seek, you will find.
Matthew 7:15 KJV Beware of false prophets, which come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves.
Matthew 7:16 KJV Ye shall know them by their fruits. Do men gather grapes of thorns, or figs of thistles?
Today, one hardly needs to look beyond one's social media wall to see their fruits.
Matthew 7:20 KJV Wherefore by their fruits ye shall know them.
If you do not take your salvation seriously, neither does God. Many pimp the name of Jesus for their own gain and name, serving their own will rather than His. They have received their reward.
Matthew 7:21 KJV Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven.
Matthew 7:22 KJV Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works?
Matthew 7:23 KJV And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity.
Jesus Christ and His Word (His Sayings) are the rock, not Peter.
Matthew 7:24 KJV Therefore whosoever heareth these sayings of mine, and doeth them, I will liken him unto a wise man, which built his house upon a rock:
Matthew 7:25 KJV And the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat upon that house; and it fell not: for it was founded upon a rock.
2 Samuel 22:32 KJV For who is God, save the LORD? and who is a rock, save our God?
I am astonished by the Word of God every single day.
Matthew 7:28 KJV And it came to pass, when Jesus had ended these sayings, the people were astonished at his doctrine:
All with the breath of life are either male or female. That's it.
Genesis 7:15 KJV And they went in unto Noah into the ark, two and two of all flesh, wherein is the breath of life.
Genesis 7:16 KJV And they that went in, went in male and female of all flesh, as God had commanded him: and the LORD shut him in.
A man who seeks to have God's good hand upon him prepares his heart.
Ezra 7:9 KJV For upon the first day of the first month began he to go up from Babylon, and on the first day of the fifth month came he to Jerusalem, according to the good hand of his God upon him.
Ezra 7:10 KJV For Ezra had prepared his heart to seek the law of the LORD, and to do it, and to teach in Israel statutes and judgments.
The concept that opposes the cooperation of Church and State is foreign to the Word of God.
Ezra 7:18 KJV And whatsoever shall seem good to thee, and to thy brethren, to do with the rest of the silver and the gold, that do after the will of your God.
Ezra 7:19 KJV The vessels also that are given thee for the service of the house of thy God, those deliver thou before the God of Jerusalem.
Ezra 7:20 KJV And whatsoever more shall be needful for the house of thy God, which thou shalt have occasion to bestow, bestow it out of the king's treasure house.
Some rulers understand this, while most do not.
Ezra 7:23 KJV Whatsoever is commanded by the God of heaven, let it be diligently done for the house of the God of heaven: for why should there be wrath against the realm of the king and his sons?
Such judgment today would be classified as antisemitism.
Ezra 7:26 KJV And whosoever will not do the law of thy God, and the law of the king, let judgment be executed speedily upon him, whether it be unto death, or to banishment, or to confiscation of goods, or to imprisonment.
Bless the house of the LORD, and you will be blessed. Bless the Synagogue of Satan, and you will be cursed. It really is that simple.
Ezra 7:27 KJV Blessed be the LORD God of our fathers, which hath put such a thing as this in the king's heart, to beautify the house of the LORD which is in Jerusalem:
Ezra 7:28 KJV And hath extended mercy unto me before the king, and his counsellors, and before all the king's mighty princes. And I was strengthened as the hand of the LORD my God was upon me, and I gathered together out of Israel chief men to go up with me.
Father, may our hearts be prepared for Your honor and service You have entrusted to us today. In Jesus' Name, Amen.
