Unbelieved Confessions

Humans are a very judgmental specie, even though we should not be because we have no right to judge. It is human nature to pre-judge but that doesn't mean we should be prejudice. Pre-judging is making a decision about someone when you first met, or even just after seeing or hearing about this person. These decisions are based on how a person carries him or herself. A pre-judged opinion can be changed after getting to know a person. Prejudice is when you judge a person based on the group of people (s)he is associated with due to shared interested or characteristics. Most prejudice start because some individuals in the group of people will do some undesirable actions staining the image of that person's group. For instance many different denominations of Christianity have bad stigmas because of the acts of ungodly individuals. He welcomes all to His kingdom, and I urge all to come, but do not tarnish the name of the Lord, by confessing the name of the Lord without first truly believing in the Lord and knowing Him as Savior. Words that leave the tongue without first visiting your heart are like birds who try to fly without first being taught.

I was once a bird who could not fly, I confessed my place in His Kingdom before knowing Him, the King and the door keeper. That my friends, does more harm to His kingdom than blasphemy. With blasphemy His servants know to arm themselves with His armor, but when you infiltrate His servants trust by portraying yourself as His servant than you are most useful for the dark enemy, for you can make many stumble in there walks. By confessing your salvation you are confessing your devotion to follow the model of Jesus, to get closer to Him, so He may lead you to His father. How, I ask, can you follow a model you've never seen? You see by saying you have been cleansed white as snow by the grace of Jesus Christ when you have not, makes others hesitate to find God, when they see the filth that is still on you, for you were never cleansed.

I am not saying not to confess the Lord as King in truth that is all you need to accomplish in this world, but believe first than confess second. You can only take the joy He gives you in to heaven so why concentrate too much on anything else. Also immediately after you're saved your prime objection in life is to lead others to the most vital choose of existence, the choose to Christ. Basically what this whole post is saying is don't talk the talk if you're not going to walk the walk.

Book of Majesty

Tie my hands down with Your love, like an anchor to a boat

Keep me safe at Your shore through every storm, help me keep afloat

Have me travel not in the ocean of sin but the rivier of Salvation.

And if I drown today, I pray my name is written among the greats

I don't care if my name doesn't make it in books of history

I don't desire to see my face in the pages of magazines

I only need my name in the book of majesty

Understand the pain You felt on that hill called Calvary

So that my life maybe worthy to reach the holy pages

Printed for eternity there for me to see the proof

That on this earth I was able to stay close to You.

Turn the Talk of the Town to Good News


Don't die selfish, I am not saying make sure you die saving another, but you have a lot of people that care about you, besides the most important one God of course. And they shouldn't have to wonder if you are saved, make it a point to make sure your loved ones know you're saved and tell people you just met that you're saved. Another benefit of this is it keeps you more accountable for what you do. If you are truly saved then you would want to glorify Him with all you do. By confessing your salvation you're telling the ones around you this is how God is working in my life. I have found I am more careful with my actions when I around ones who know I am saved, it's a little reminder. [Keep a close watch on how you live and on your teaching. Stay true to what is right for the sake of your own salvation and the salvation of those who hear you.] 1 Timothy 4:16

Also ask your loved ones and strangers if they are saved. Your loves one to give you comfort and peace of mind if there life is cut short, and strangers to spread the good news. I not only present you with this challenge but also myself. I have now been saved for nearly a year and got in a cycle that Christian folks are saved and that goes without saying. Most of the Christian folks are going to be saved, but it still should not go without saying. Is salvation not the greatest gift we have ever received, and do we not talk more about the money we got last Christmas or birthday, than we do salvation? Money the root of all evil is on our tongues more than salvation. In this hard economic time I would be willing to bet any earthly thing that talk of money has went up, and the talk of God, and salvation went down. Let's change that, have your personnel headlines read I AM SAVED BY THE GRACE OF GOD extra, extra read all about it! [Riches won’t help on the day of judgment, but right living can save you from death.] Proverbs 11:4

For those who are not saved time is not a blessing you can waste. Only He who has the grace to save has the knowledge of when you will die. Don't die to death rise to life with God.
