Lay not up for yourselves treasures upon earth, where moth and rust doth corrupt, and where thieves break through and steal: but lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust doth corrupt, and where thieves do not break through nor steal: (Matthew 6:19,20)

And Jesus answered and said, Verily I say unto you, There is no man that hath left house, or brethren, or sisters, or father, or mother, or wife, or children, or lands, for my sake, and the gospel's, but he shall receive an hundredfold now in this time, houses, and brethren, and sisters, and mothers, and children, and lands, with persecutions; and in the world to come eternal life. (Mark 10:29,30)

Now the works of the flesh are manifest, which are these; Adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lasciviousness, idolatry, witchcraft, hatred, variance, emulations, wrath, strife, seditions, heresies, envyings, murders, drunkenness, revellings, and such like: of the which I tell you before, as I have also told you in time past, that they which do such things shall not inherit the kingdom of God. (Galatians 5:19-21)

And I will kill her children with death; and all the churches shall know that I am he which searcheth the reins and hearts: and I will give unto every one of you according to your works. (Revelation 2:23)

And, behold, I come quickly; and my reward is with me, to give every man according as his work shall be. (Revelation 22:12)

Read carefully the above verses. In your heart of hearts, do you believe these apply to you? If not, to whom do they apply?

Even if we throw out the commandments of Christ in the Gospels, as some are doing today because they conflict with the modern definition of "grace," we still have Galatians and Revelation (above) to consider. By no principle of Bible interpretation can we claim that Galatians 5:19-21 was not addressed to Gentile believers in the Roman province of Galatia.

Revelation 2:23 (above) was addressed to one of the lampstands of God!

The modern teaching is that all these Bible statements are invalid as far as Christians are concerned. We are saved by grace, meaning that salvation is an abstract legal maneuver of God that brings us to a mansion in Heaven independently of our conduct.

Our personal belief is that this is absurd. We hold it to be the greatest error in thinking in the two thousand years of the history of the Christian Church.

The defining of "grace" as an unconditional amnesty applying to Gentile believers in Christ is a monumental error that has resulted in the destruction of the Christian churches of America. Because the churches do not teach righteous behavior with any great conviction (hoping to fly away any moment in a "rapture") the secular society is drowning in the lusts of the flesh.

(By the way, the so-called "rapture" is late in arriving. Multitudes of Christians have been tortured and slain so far in this century, more than in any other century of the Christian Era, statisticians inform us. Sorry, guys, you should have waited for the rapture.)

Where are our brains?

The moral condition in America is our fault!

How do you feel about this? Would you behave differently if you believed you are to be clothed with your own works in the Day of Resurrection?

If so, set out to behave differently and the Lord will help you. He loves righteousness!
