My Way or the Highway


My Way or the Highway

Proverbs 8:20
I [wisdom] lead in the way of righteousness, in the midst of the paths of judgment:


Proverbs 14:12
There is a way which seemeth right unto a man, but the end thereof are the ways of death.


Job 28:20-28
20 Whence then cometh wisdom? and where is the place of understanding,
21 Seeing it is hid from the eyes of all the living, and is hid from the fowls of the heaven?
22 Destruction and death say, We have heard the fame thereof with our ears.
23 But God understandeth the way thereof, and he knoweth the place thereof.
24 For he beholdeth the ends of the world, and seeth all that is under heaven,
25 To make the weight of the winds and to weigh the waters by measure.
26 When he made a decree for the rain, and a way for the lightning of the thunders,
27 Then did he see it, and counted it: he prepared it, and also considered it.
28 And unto man he said, Behold, the fear of the Lord is wisdom, and to depart from evil is understanding.


. black is black   and white is white. God is Holy. The devil is evil. Recently I heard it said along these lines from this text: 

Jesus said to the hypocrites:
Ye are of your father the devil, and the lusts of your father ye will do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and abode not in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own: for he is a liar, and the father of it. John 8:44

At some point satan sinned. God was God in the beginning. Satan was satan in the beginning, and from the beginning Satan was a murderer and a liar. THE ONLY THING Satan CAN DO IS SIN! Satan no longer able to do one righteous deed or speak one Holy word. 


We who name ourselves Christians need to understand that there is no grey area in life. There IS a bottomless abyss between the Kingdom of God and the kingdom of darkness. We who say we believe God in the Messiah Jesus, and yet make allowances personally for sin, our own sin and/or others, we need to get off the fence and into the Kingdom of God. I need to... and YOU need to; it is God's great desire that we be faithful in all things. 

Amos 3:3 Can two walk together except they be agreed?

Yes, there is still forgiveness when we sin. But we are called out of darkness, and we are called to holiness. God, who is Love and can be trusted, and who will forgive us, DOES ALSO command us to trust Him, to stop sinning and to do what is right. He has made this possible in Jesus, and He made it possible because He LOVES us! 

How weak so many are, how weak I have been to not believe and understand how black and white, how truly life and death are the issues of life!

Proverbs 4

20 ¶ My son, hearken unto my words, incline thine ear unto my sayings.
21 Let them not depart from thine eyes, but keep them in the midst of thine heart.
22 For they are life unto those that find them: and health unto all their flesh.
23 Keep thine heart with all diligence: for thereout cometh life.
24 Put away from thee a froward mouth, and put wicked lips far from thee.
25 Let thine eyes behold the right, and let thine eyelids direct thy way before thee.
26 Ponder the path of thy feet, and let all thy ways be ordered aright.
27 Turn not to the right hand, nor to the left, but remove thy foot from evil.


Proverbs 3

5 Trust in the Lord with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding.
6 In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths.
7 Be not wise in thine own eyes: fear the Lord, and depart from evil.
8 It shall be health to thy navel, and marrow to thy bones.

Proverbs 6

16 These six things doth the Lord hate: yea, seven are an abomination unto him:
17 A proud look, a lying tongue, and hands that shed innocent blood,
18 An heart that deviseth wicked imaginations, feet that be swift in running to mischief,
19 A false witness that speaketh lies, and he that soweth discord among brethren.

Job 28:20-28

20 Whence then cometh wisdom? and where is the place of understanding,
21 Seeing it is hid from the eyes of all the living, and is hid from the fowls of the heaven?
22 Destruction and death say, We have heard the fame thereof with our ears.
23 But God understandeth the way thereof, and he knoweth the place thereof.
24 For he beholdeth the ends of the world, and seeth all that is under heaven,
25 To make the weight of the winds and to weigh the waters by measure.
26 When he made a decree for the rain, and a way for the lightning of the thunders,
27 Then did he see it, and counted it: he prepared it, and also considered it.
28 And unto man he said, Behold, the fear of the Lord is wisdom, and to depart from evil is understanding.
