A Dangerous Thing

Hello friend,
Do you struggle with sin? We all do, but many of us don’t just sin, instead we are caught up in a sin. In Proverbs 16:27 it says “… Idle hands are the devil’s workshop.” Yes, it is better boring than bad, but make sure you are keeping yourself busy with spiritual things.

Being that I’m homeschooled, you can imagine that I have gotten pretty bored from time to time. There have been many cases where I would just sit around and do nothing for Christ, and this my friend is a sin. There is a never ending amount of things that we can do for the lord. Here are just a few things we can do, - tithing, reading the Bible, having Bible studies, doing Christian blog posts, shall I go on? We really should be doing these things daily, but it can be difficult to not let the distractions of the world steer our attention away from God.

In Romans 6:23 it says – “For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.” But as I have said many times, does this mean that we should continue in our sin because we are saved? If we do this, it shows that we really didn’t accept Christ. Mathew 5:8 says – “Blessed are the pure in heart: for they shall see God.” When we are caught up in a sin, this shows that we are not pure in heart. So, when the scriptures say “only the pure shall enter Heaven,” we need to understand that if we want eternal life, we cannot be caught up in the sins of this world. Many Christians will hang out with heathens, claiming that they are doing it to save their soul. Let me ask you this, how does being friends with a heathen save their soul? The Bible doesn’t say to be friends with them; it says to be a witness of Christ to them.

What about you? Your soul is important too. And hanging around heathens will dampen your soul. How can we effectively serve God when we hang around these types of people? The things they do are fun, and they often seem harmless, and this is why it can be one of the most dangerous sins. I have struggled with this, and I know firsthand that it weighs on your soul. Please think and pray about what I have said. We need to protect our soul from the influences of this world. The quality of your soul is directly dependent upon the things that you choose to surround yourself with. Please remember to never take God’s mercy and love for granted.

In Christ,

Does God Really Exist?

Hello Friend,
In our day and age most people do not believe in God. They may believe that there is some greater power out there, but they don’t know what it is. This is quite sad, because God really does exist, and the amount of people who know that is minimal.

So why does this matter? How does knowing about God’s existence improve our life?  I have compared the quality of life of a saved man, to that of an unsaved one, and trust me when I say that the difference is substantial. I have seen many people’s lives improve once they accepted Christ and started growing to be more like him. We are what we surround ourselves with, and if we read the Bible, and we stay in prayer, then we can’t go wrong. Knowing this is very crucial to a Christian’s walk in Christ.

The Bible states in Romans 1:20 “For his invisible attributes, namely, his eternal power and divine nature, have been clearly perceived, ever since the creation of the world, in the things that have been made. So they are without excuse.”  People will say that there is no proof of God’s existence, but the proof can be clearly seen just by looking out the window. This beautiful world could not possibly have been created by a “Big Bang” Or whatever the heathens are calling it these days. In 1927 the “Big Bang” theory was introduced, and it wasn’t long after that that God was taken out of the public schools. The public school system used to be a healthier environment, but now it has become one of the main things that have taken this country down.

Without God, there is no structure; there is no purpose in our life. As Christians we need to understand this, and when someone doesn’t believe in God’s existence, it is our job to try to prove to them otherwise. 1 Corinthians 8:6 says “Yet for us there is one God, the Father, from whom are all things and for whom we exist, and one Lord, Jesus Christ, through whom are all things and through whom we exist.” As a friend in Christ, I would urge you to aid in the cleansing of this devastated earth by spreading God’s word and by spreading proof of His Existence.

In Christ,

A Chapter A Day Keeps the Devil Away

Hello friend,
First off today I would like to apologize for how long it has taken me to update my blog. Life has kept me very busy with my You-tube show that I just concluded and Bible studies that I have been attending. It has been fun, but I am thankful to be back doing the Lords work.

I have a very legitimate concern for the state of our country. People don’t read their Bible anymore. Christians will go extended amounts of time without reading the Word. This truly disheartens me because I understand why they aren’t. I also know the consequences that can come from an absence from God’s word. It can be difficult to pick it up, and there have been many times where I have gone weeks without reading it. I know for a fact that I am saved, but sometimes it can be difficult to strive for perfection, especially when you don’t find yourself growing. This is often what can cause absenteeism in the spirit. Over the past two months, I have been reading the Bible nearly every day. I have been noticing the success of my life improving, and thank God, I know that the flesh has less hold on me now than what it did when my life was lacking God’s word.

James 4:7 says – “Submit yourselves, then, to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you.”  Do you want to resist the devil? Of course you do. Paul told us how to do this in Romans 10:17 – “So faith comes from hearing, and hearing through the word of Christ.” A strong spirit comes from having faith and reading the word. This will grow us, and the stronger our sprit is, the more equipped we will be to face up against the coaxing of our flesh.

The philosophy that this world has is wrong. People will claim that life is gray, lacking the separation of black and white. I totally disagree. Because we live on this planet and have flesh, it may appear to us this way as well, but when we read God’s word, we will be able to distinguish the two more easily. As a Christian brother, I would challenge you to read one chapter or more of the Bible each day and see how the word of God can aid in the improvement of your quality of life.

In Christ,
Noah Brewster
