Laws and Principles

Society has really got it twisted. Now let me tell you a little something about me, I am by no means an innocent man, and to be quite honest, I have forgotten more of the stupid things that I have done then I can remember, that and the statute of limitations has not run out on some of them, so I will take those to the grave. Why do I say this? So that it qualifies me to minister to those of you who are out doing whatever you want to because you think that anything goes. Well let me tell you that it does not."Why?" You ask? Well I will break it down for you, be forewarned if the truth hurts, prepare for a beating.

When God created the heavens and the earth, HIS supreme intellect shows itself through HIS creation of laws and principles. Here is where we as humans get it twisted, we mistake principles for laws. Let me say that again,

We mistake priciples for laws.

What do you mean? One may ask, well when I was in my twenties, I used to think that, "I am my own person" and "I do what I want to do" and "I don't care what anyone thinks." The problem with this way of thinking is that it goes against GOD'S LAWS. You see, in HIS SUPREME intelligence GOD thought about it and said to HIMSELF, "I will make 2 sets of laws. Undeniable ones such as gravity and motion" These are ones that you do not need to believe per se. They just are. If you jump off of the Ren Cen or the Sears Tower, you will not only come down and prove the law of gravity, you will come down at such a high velocity, you will probably be unidentifiable when you come to the sudden stop at the end, thus the law of motion. These laws GOD put into place because they are needed for HIS creation to exist, there are many others and without getting too scientific they keep the other aspects of the world that we live in functioning.Now here's the interesting part. GOD also put into play some laws which take faith to see. How are these laws to be seen? Through GOD's Word. When I was explaining my theories about myself a few minutes ago, that is society's thought process or to be quite frank, the enemy's injection.The Bible states that,

"A [good] name [is] rather to be chosen than great riches, [and] loving favour rather than silver and gold." Proverbs 22:1

This is a common passage, but let's take it a little bit further. Ecclesiates 7:1 states,
"A good name [is] better than precious ointment; and the day of death than the day of one's birth."

So I think that it is safe to say, that this is a law that is in place, yet highly ignored.

The reason I am on this topic is because of the behavior that I am witnessing in my community, on youtube, on facebook, on television (when I watch it because I really don't watch much any more) in the restaurants....etcThose of you that are engaging in behavior that is contradictory to the WORD of GOD, there is a law for you too:the law of sowing and reaping.You see a lot of people who think of sowing and reaping think of people like Mike Murdoch and Creflo Dollar, Joel Osteen and other mega ministers and think that this is the way that they get your money. However, here is your warning: this applies to every facet of YOUR life. Period no exceptions. The reason that you don't believe it is that you cannot always see it. I will say it again:

The reason that you do not believe it is that you do not see it.

The world likes to refer to this as cause and effect, yin and yang etc. The simple fact of the matter is "whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap." Galatians 6:7.If you sow (plant) seeds of wrongdoing, best believe you will reap (harvest) the fruit of wrongdoing. Tell a lie and never be trusted. Hold a grudge and never be forgiven when you want it most. I could go on and on in the areas of alcohol, sexual misconduct, drug abuse...basically destructive actions to the body.To sum it up, you have a choice, believe it or not. Trust GOD or not, abide by HIS laws or do not. The summarization of everything that you say behind closed doors, every little thing that you do in the dark, things that you think no one will ever know, the TRUTH is found in

Ecclesiastes chapter twelve verses thirteen and fourteen:

13. Let us hear the conclusion of the whole matter: Fear God, and keep his commandments: for this [is] the whole [duty] of man.14. For God shall bring every work into judgment, with every secret thing, whether [it be] good, or whether [it be] evil.Be Blessed!

(So I guess that since you got a sermon I should collect an offering. Well consider this me, sowing into your lives as my friends)
