Share with everyone that asks so that to you it is not SIN

Giving or borrowing someone? Read the Bible and consider my comments then do the will of the Father. Matthew 5: 42 says, 'Give to him who asks you, and from him who wants to borrow from you do not turn away'. Giving is a sacrifice because you expect nothing in return at all. When it comes to borrowing, the Bible forbids charging interest, just be willing to borrow the person that request from you interest free.

 

Sometimes you become reluctant to give for many humanly justifiable reasons yet the instruction Jesus Christ gave was none negotiable. Sometimes you don't want to give because you assume that the person will use the money to serve the devil, yet each time you give, God is at work. You therefore don't want to disturb God at work because you shall be accountable to God one day.

 

Someone may argue that what s/he has is just enough for himself and his household, yet its not even a matter of having or not having but to do what Jesus has instructed. This means that even the poor can give because the rich may approach them for assistance in one way or the other.  When you give with a pure heart the volume or value of the items don't matter at all. God delights in a cheerful giver.

 

Thanks be to God for America, Asia and some countries that are willing to give to Africa and other poor countries. I want to believe that that gesture makes God move and bless the giving countries. God has blessed America and we believe it will be so in many years to come.

 

 

If you swear you SIN!

 

Swearing is making a promise or an oath on something not yet manifested. Swearing is common and there are people that promote it such as the website yourswear.com. It does not matter whether your swearing is intentionally false or not, but the expression itself is an abomination to God. Remember that God is a judge even for your thoughts. Even if you stop at swearing in your heart, you have committed the sin of swearing and you have to repent for doing that.

The Bible is clear on the act of swearing, ‘don’t do it!’ In the Gospel of Matthew 5:33 – 37, Jesus Christ addresses the issue of swearing. All you have to say is a ‘yes’ or a ‘no’. If you are called to swear, don’t because you will be going against the will of God.

 

What more can I say, 'Jesus Christ has said it!'

Murder is Sin - including euthanasia 'Mercy death'

 

This could the be second sin recorded in the Bible after the fall of man in the garden of Eden. Cain murdered his younger brother Abel (Genesis 4). Out of jealousy, which is another sin, Cain found murder to be the best answer to his problem of jealousy. This is a clear indication that the devil gives alternative solutions to problems and if you are not stable in your mind, you may go for such ungodly solutions.

I know that murder is widely accepted as sin but there is a debate on euthanasia 'Mercy death'. It is sin because it is killing people and not letting them die naturally. I understand that this is not normally an easy situation but we should know this one thing that when God speaks, we should obey. The Bible has many verses that emphasizes on murder as an abominable deed. The 10 Commandments written for the children of Israel records murder as well.

New Testament Perspective

Murder is not only literal but Jesus equals it to anger against a brother without a cause. Watch therefore that you do not murder a brother through anger.

　

Marrying a lovely but non-Christian person is sin!

 

Whenever God instructs, everybody must listen. Before I get to the obvious Bible verse on being equally yoked with none believers, I want to reference the book of Judges 16, where Solomon fell for a foreign national, a Philistine. This story is common and well known yet it details consequences of being yokes with none believers. Similarly, the none believer might have greater influence on you and you might loose your faith in Christ.

 

Coming back to 2 Corinthians 6:14 , 'Do not be unequally yoked together with unbelievers. For what fellowship has righteousness with lawlessness? And what communion has light with darkness?' Verse 15 says, 'And what accord has Christ with Belial? Or what part has a believer with an unbeliever?'

 

This is a commandment that comes straight from the Word of God. No part of the Bible is not from His mouth, therefore, all that the Bible is, is the word of God. The Bible does not contain the Word of God but it is the Word of God.

 

Now the tendency is for people to think of the relationship of marriage when referencing this verse yet being yoked goes beyond that. Did you know that you can be equally yoked in business, professional partnerships, projects and many more. Everything that you do that ties you to an unbeliever that will affect your walk with Christ is forbidden. God has said that He will dwell in believers and walk among them. He shall be our God and we should be His people (verse 16).
