Iranian Pastor Likely to Face Death Under New Charges?

'Cause he's wearing American uniform, that doesn't make him an American. No, sir.

54-1024  THE.UNPARDONABLE.SIN_  JEFFERSONVILLE.IN  V-26 N-8  SUNDAY_  142    ......  In a--in a time of war, you see a man, say he's wearing American uniform. ....... you couldn't trust a man because he had American uniform on. That might be a spy. He might be a German. He might be an enemy. 'Cause he's wearing American uniform, that doesn't make him an American. No, sir.Hallelujah. You might belong to every church in the country, and turn every page every New Year's, and that don't make you a Christian. Brother, when you've got a fingerprinted credential, then you are an American. You got a credential to prove that you are American.  145        And when you've got the baptism of the Holy Ghost, with the power of God working in your life, and make you live humbly and peaceful in this present world, day after day, week after week, year after year, they know where you're standing. That's right. David said, "It'll be like a tree that's planted by the rivers of water. Whatever he does will prosper. He will not wither in a drought, because he's planted by the rivers of water." Yes, sir. "His fruit shall not wither. His leaves will not wither. He will bring forth his fruit in its season. He... Now, ungodly is not so; they're like the chaff that dries up and the wind blows them away," (that's right,) from one revival to the other, and have to be revived and revived. But a man once anchored in Christ knows where he's at. That's right.

Something else that I was reading that was an eye opener for me I hope that it is a blessing for you!!!

I just find that it is inportant that we are not creating fakers in the church. Our kids ask why am i going to church and you tell tehm well we have always gone to church..... your just creating someone that will be cold and informal. We must take them to the cross so that

"....12   work out your own salvation with fear and trembling.13 For it is God which worketh in you both to will and to do of his good pleasure." (Philippians 2:12b-13)

The Benefits of Holiness

At times we will find it a struggle to live holy--- sometimes so 

much that we may even wonder if the only "way out" is to 

succumb to the temptation then ask God for forgiveness.

But we know all too well that the supposed relief that comes

from such indulgence is short lived.... only to be quickly 

followed by the spirits' piercing sword of conviction. Moreover,

to surrender in such a fashion is to intentionally abuse God's grace . 

No we don't have to give in "God is faithful who will not allow

you to be tempted beyond what you are able , but with the 

temptation will also make a way of escape , that you may be 

able to bear it' (1 Corinthians 10:13) Whats more the relief 

we gain from persevering on the path of holiness is real lasting.

Consider these benefits that spurgeon noted:

Sanctity in ministers is a loud call to sinners to repent, and when with holy cheerfulness it becomes wondrously attractive.

In holiness God is more clearly seen than in any thing else.

The serene, silent beauty of a holy life is the most powerful influence in the world, nest to the might of the Spirit of God.

 May God Bless you and keep you,
