Heaven, Who Gets To Go?
Heaven Who Gets To Go? Rev 7:9-10: 9 After these things I looked, and behold, a great multitude which no one could number, of all nations, tribes, peoples, and tongues, standing before the throne and before the Lamb, clothed with white robes, with palm branches in their hands, 10 and crying out with a loud voice, saying, “Salvation belongs to our God who sits on the throne, and to the Lamb!” Matt. 5:21-24: 21 “You have heard that it was said to those of old, ‘You shall not murder, and whoever murders will be in danger of the judgment.’ 22 But I say to you that whoever is angry with his brother without a cause shall be in danger of the judgment. And whoever says to his brother, ‘Raca!’ shall be in danger of the council. But whoever says, ‘You fool!’ shall be in danger of hell fire. 23 Therefore if you bring your gift to the altar, and there remember that your brother has something against you, 24 leave your gift there before the altar, and go your way...

High Definition Living
High Definition Living? The tension of Holiness and Freedom 1 Corinthians 8 An opinion is a position you hold, with varying degrees of intensity that is merely voicing a preference you may have. A conviction it hat which is roted in your conscience. “ Ravi Zacharias It is not unusual that we regard our opinions with a greater degree of intensity than we do our conscience. Consequently, we may be careful what we believe, yet are noticeably more casual in how we live. 1. Enduring the scrutiny ◠The very discussion of personal holiness implies personal scrutiny. ◠1 Peter 1:17 ◠1 Corinthians 3:1-17 Rick Joyner – “Walking in the light is more than knowing and obeying certain truths. It is being true and being free from the compulsion to hide.†2. The relief that freedom brings. ◠The basic ingredient of freedom in Christ is our call, and desire to love as we were created to love. ◠Romans 13:8, Owe nothing to anyone except to love one another ◠Luke 15, The Prodigal, ‘When he was yet a long way off…†◠We are free now to love and pursue God and others. No longer driven to serve ourselves. 3. The problem of weakness in ourselves and others. ◠1 Corinthians 8 ◠Understanding the difference between disagreeing with someone who thinks and believes differently from you vs. offending a weaker Christian. ◠It is also important that we recognize our weak areas and guard ourselves. The pursuit of Holiness is ultimately a pursuit of God, not issues or situations
