Good morning. Now I urge you,
keep your eye on those who cause dissensions and hindrances contrary to the
teaching which you learned, and turn away from them. We do have to watch out
for those people. Their “doctrines“ can be insidious, and if we listen to them
for very long, we will start to believe the way that they do. Remember that the
Bible says elsewhere “be careful how you listen”. That’s also why you need to
be careful what you listen to or read concerning the news. If you listen to or
read news that is slanted, you will eventually start to believe that it is
true. That’s why advertising works. For such men are slaves, not of our Lord
Christ but of their own appetite; and by their smooth and flattering speech
they deceive the hearts of the unsuspecting. I’ve mentioned this type of person
before who flatters pastors to get the pastors to accept them as being men or
women of God. By the time their true self is revealed, it is too late – the
sheep have been sheared. Father keep away the things that come against the
reader and his/her family.
Unless one is born of water and the Spirit he cannot enter into the kingdom of God
Good morning. While Jesus was in Jerusalem at the Passover, during the feast, many believed in His name, observing His signs which He was doing. Jesus was not entrusting Himself to them, for He knew all men. Now there was a man of the Pharisees, named Nicodemus, a ruler of the Jews. It doesn’t say, but I assume it is still during this time of the Passover. This man came to Jesus by night. Rabbi, we know that You have come from God as a teacher; for no one can do the signs that You do unless God is with him. It just said that the people believed in His name because of the signs He was doing; yet it does not say what those signs were. Unless one is born again he cannot see the kingdom of God. That is why unbelievers cannot tell what is of the kingdom of God and what is not – they’re not born again. Nicodemus doesn’t have a clue. How can a man be born when he is old? He cannot enter a second time into his mother’s womb and be born, can he? Unless one is born of water and the Spirit ...
