 7 Things to Resist, and to Pursue In this Late Hour

Dear Brothers and Sisters, Let us rejoice that we have this opportunity to fellowship online! Many sincere thanks to those who have made this opportunity possible. May our communion grow in the love and grace of God through His indwelling Spirit being poured out through each of us. The following are a few thoughts for today. Blessings

LET US RESIST THESE:
1. Resist the temptation to stay married to traditional religious forms of our church heritage, for heritage sake only (Matt. 15:1-9; Mark 7:1-13)
2. Resist the temptation to follow modern-culture Christianity (Gal. 1:6-12).
3. Resist the temptation to follow movements, Christian or not, that are not mindful of the will of God but of the will of men (John 16:21-23).
4. Resist the temptation to believe every wind of doctrine that comes along for your attention (Col. 2:6-8).
5. Resist the temptation to love your own life and to defend the lifestyle that the rest of the world seeks (Luke 9:23-24; Matt. 6:24-34; Mark 4:19; I John 2:5).
6. Resist the temptation to restore an America that God is taking away for the construction of His eternal kingdom within you (Heb. 12:27-29).
7. Resist the temptation to join America's citizens in movements that appeal to America's cultural Christianity, which is not Christianity at all (II Tim. 3:1-7; 4:1-5).

LET US PURSUE THESE:
1. Pursue His righteous gift through believing faith as God's gift to us through Jesus Christ's finished work alone (Rom. 4:1-5, 22-25; 5:1: 6:11,13,18,22).
2. Pursue holy living through continuing repentance from our own will and a constant surrender to His will by the Spirit (II Cor. 7:1; Eph. 4:24; I Thess. 3:13; Heb. 12:14; Rom. 8:1-2, 12-14).
3. Pursue love and desire spiritual gifts, but especially that we may prophesy [glorify Him by speaking His word through us to others] (I Cor. 14:1-4, 39-40).
4. Pursue righteousness, godliness, faith, love, patience, gentleness (II Pet. 1:4-11).
5. Pursue patient endurance through trials while seeking to be delivered ultimately (Heb. 6:10-15; 12:1-4; II Thess. 1:1-6; Rev. 2:10).
6. Pursue God's grace in these days of judgment on the world that are approaching so rapidly, and extend mercy to others (Matt. 5:7; 23:23; Rom. 11:31; II Tim. 1:18; Jam. 3:17).
7. Pursue His joy in trial, realizing that we have already been delivered from this world and placed into His kingdom (Matt. 5:11-12; Acts 16:25; Rom. 5:3-5; Col. 1:12-13).
