Q and A Message - 4
BREAST IMPLANTS
Why would plastic surgery be wrong?
1) Finding security in your appearance rather than God.
2) Using your body to attract inappropriate attention.
Charm is deceptive, and beauty is fleeting (vain); but a woman who fears the LORD is to be praised.
Why would plastic surgery be right?
1) You are correcting something that is wrong.
2) You made a prayerful decision.
for the LORD searches every heart and understands every motive behind the thoughts.
HEARING FROM GOD
…his sheep follow him because they know his voice… My sheep listen to My voice; I know them, and they follow Me.
1) God’s method of speaking varies.
2) God’s voice often seems inconvenient.
3) God’s voice is always consistent with the Bible.
4) God most often speaks to those who are listening.
CATHOLICS
These people honor me with their lips, but their hearts are far from me. They worship me in vain; their teachings are but rules taught by men. You have let go of the commands of God and are holding on to the traditions of men.
Not everyone who says to me, 'Lord, Lord,' will enter the kingdom of heaven…Many will say to me…'Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy… and… drive out demons and perform many miracles?' Then I will tell them plainly, 'I never knew you…’
BAD THINGS AND GOOD PEOPLE
In this world you will have trouble. But take heart! I have overcome the world.
I have worked much harder, been in prison more frequently, been flogged more severely, and been exposed to death again and again. Five times I received from the Jews the forty lashes minus one. Three times I was beaten with rods, once I was stoned, three
For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.
