Don't be damned

Romans 14:23 “And he that doubteth is damned if he eat, because he eateth not of faith; for whatsoever is not of faith is sin” Romans 14:23 KJV As believers, the Bible must be our ultimate guide. The reference scripture is a very profound one. On one hand, it can convict you and on the other hand, it can damn you. It makes us understand that , even though the Bible may not explicitly categorize some things as sins, yet they become sin to us as believers if our conscience condemns us in such acts. The scripture says that, he that eateth out of faith is damned (emphasis mine), and that whatever we do outside of faith is sin. Now for instance, going to a club or clubbing is not a sin if we go by Bible standards, however if as a believer, you doubt that going to a club is edifying or is not a form of presenting your body as a living sacrifice and yet you go, it has become a sin to you. Even if, every other believer go and it is not counted as sin to them. This can also apply to varied practices as far as our sense of dressing as believers. In other not to be damned in what we do, we must weigh our actions if they comply with our faith. If you don’t think something is right ; even if everyone is doing it, then you shouldn’t do it. The Bible says “the just shall live by faith”, and you are the just. Therefore, if you are not sure, if you notice that you are acting in ways inconsistent with what you believe – some days trying to impose your opinion on others, other days just trying to please them- then you know that you are out of line. If the way you live isn’t consistent with what you believe, then its wrong.

The Extent Of Liberty

1st Cor 8 Patricia was a big time fan of Danielle steel’s novels, she had been reading them since s. s 1 and now she was in 400 level! she had read over twenty of the books and still had some unread ones on her shelf. She had also just become the minister in charge of new converts in her campus fellowship; there was this particular 100 level convert – Anna, who really liked Pat and always looked up to her for advice. One afternoon, Anna came to visit Pat in the hostel and saw all the Danielle’s collection, Anna was surprised and felt Pat should not be reading such books, according to Anna, they were worldly books and were not good for Christians because they dint talk about God. Initially Pat thought to tell the Girl that they were books she read for leisure and were not harmful to her, but one look at Anna’s sad face made her remember 1st Cor 8, remembered she was minister in charge of new converts and besides she had nothing to lose if she stopped reading D. S novels so that this gi...

Ignorance Is Deadly

Rom 8:2 The morning was cool as the police officers-Corporal Poverty, Sergeant Sickness and Inspector Death resumed work at Interstate 72-that is the boundary between the state of the “Law of Sin and Death” and the state of the “Law of Spirit of Life” where they were assigned to torment all the citizens of the state of the “Law of Sin and Death” and to ensure that the code luke8:12 passed by the heavenly court did not not take effect. This particular morning however, they was rumour that Christ was in town and they were just wondering how true it was when a car with the plate number “saved” drove towards the boundary. Poverty quickly signalled for the car to stop and was baffled to see two of their senior citizens in the car. What could they be doing in the car with saved, he wondered, after all they were still seen exercising code Gal5:19-21 a few days back. The officers were even more surprised when the citizens looked them in the eyes and showed them the pass code Heb2:14-15. The of...
