... my boss told me to LIE, STEAL, do something 'anger inducing' ie. to someone (Jesus called anger or anger inducing (v25) behavior worse than MURDER (v21,22) in matthew 5.21-26.
...all necessary to advance the company's bottom line
...not to speak of COVETing what you get in return so that you can spend it upon your own lusts
rather than seek first God's kingdom and His righteousness trusting His promise to give you such necessaries as you need to live and serve Him.
..the boss and coworker become an IDOL WORSHIPper (do what the idol demands in return for getting what you want...$ and what it obtains)
...not to speak of being willing to disHONOR and 'forget about' YOUR PARENTS (like i did in the extremities of their weak, frail and evil final years here) because of 'all the demands of home, family, job, church activities (the lionshare of time, energy, and focus going to 'Lion Job') that are on me right now (hiding the fact that you always, sometimes secretly, find time to do what YOU want)
...not to speak of being willing to listen to, without rebuke, or even join in ('we need to 'work together as a team') TAKING THE LORD'S NAME IN VAIN (shamefully making the precious savior who was rejected, hated, humiliated and shamed (He was not but anyone else of us sinners, apart from grace, would have been excruciatingly ashamed as peter was even from a distance!) and beaten, mocked, made fun of, abused and tortured, beaten and nailed to a cross and finally forsaken by God the Father)
...not to speak of being willing, again to the pressures of the job, to, in practical terms, forget about the other 'christians', the 'pagans' in your neighborhood, doing what God commands in a thousand areas...setting aside no time to rest from your labors and do God's bidding in your world
...through all these tactical decisions HAVE yourself A GOD BEFORE GOD.
...the way is broad that leads to destruction and many are those who enter by it. matthew 7.13
not everyone who says to Me, 'Lord, Lord', will enter the kingdom of heaven;
but he who DOES THE WILL OF (ie. obeys the word of) My Father who is in heaven. v21
therefore EVERYONE WHO hears these words of Mine and ACTS UPON them, may be compared to a wise man who built his house upon the rock...
and EVERYONE WHO hears these words of Mine and does not act upon them, will be like a foolish man, who built his house upon the sand.
and the rain descended and the floods came and the winds blew and burst against that house;
and it fell
and great was its fall. v24-7
do not lay up for yourselves treasures upon earth,
where moth and rust destroy and
where thieves break in and steal.
but lay up for yourselves tgreasures in heaven,
wheree neither moth nor rust destroys and
where thieves do not break in or steal;
for where your treasure is,
there will your heart be also. the lamp of the body is the eye;
if therefore your eye is clear (single), your whole body will be full of light.
but if your eye is bad, your whole body will be full of darkness!
if therefore the light that is in you is darkness, how great is the darkness!
no one can serve two masters;
for either he will hate the one and love the other
or he will hold to one and despise the other.
YOU CANNOT SERVE GOD AND MAMMON. (lit. valued possessions) 6.19-24
he who has found his life shall lose it and
he who HAS LOST his life FOR MY SAKE shall find it. 10.39
for what will a man be profited, if he gains the whole world and forfeits (lose or be deprived of)
his soul?
or what will a man give in exchange for
his soul? 17.26
for whoever is ASHAMED OF ME AND MY WORDS in this adulterous and sinful generation,
the Son of Man will also be ashamed of him
when He comes in the glory of His Father with the holy angels. mark 8.38
you shall know the TRUTH and the truth shall SET YOU FREE. John 8.32
if therefore the Son (ie. Jesus) shall set you free, you shall be FREE INDEED. V. 36
Jesus said to him, I am the way, the TRUTH and the life' no one comes to the Father but by Me. 14.6
sanctify them in the truth; THY WORD (ie. the bible) is truth. 17.17
LISTEN 'christian'... you may be pagan or practically pagan...your eternal destiny depends on this!
Listen to God...to His word!!
SIMPLIFY YOUR LIFE! TRUST and SERVE the Lord and BE FREE now and forever.
