Morning Devotion: Read Proverbs - The Drunkard

Proverbs 23:29 Who hath woe? who hath sorrow? who hath contentions? who hath babbling? who hath wounds without cause? who hath redness of eyes? 30 They that tarry long at the wine; they that go to seek mixed wine. 31 Look not thou upon the wine when it is red, when it giveth his colour in the cup, when it moveth itself aright. 32 At the last it biteth like a serpent, and stingeth like an adder. 33 Thine eyes shall behold strange women, and thine heart shall utter perverse things. 34 Yea, thou shalt be as he that lieth down in the midst of the sea, or as he that lieth upon the top of a mast. 35 They have stricken me, shalt thou say, and I was not sick; they have beaten me, and I felt it not: when shall I awake? I will seek it yet again.

We have before us a complete description of the person who drinks alcohol. Let’s explain the passage.

Proverbs 23:29 Who hath woe? who hath sorrow? who hath contentions? who hath babbling? who hath wounds without cause? who hath redness of eyes?

The person who is a drunk is the person who speaks of woeful things. In their stupor they weep and cry for sorrow, they fight; oh how easy it is for a drunk to want to fight. They babble and say things without understanding. They have wounds without cause - Meaning they abuse themselves for no reason. They have red eyes and maybe their noses are red as well.

30 They that tarry long at the wine; they that go to seek mixed wine.

All the above things happen when a person seeks it. This person stays at the bottle and the bar always seeking more drink, more wine. I wonder how many folks have alcohol on their weekly shopping list as they go to seek it?

31 Look not thou upon the wine when it is red, when it giveth his colour in the cup, when it moveth itself aright.

Here is a portion of scripture that many Christian do not see. God says, when it ferments, moves aright, DON’T EVEN LOOK AT IT!

Yet, how many churches say it’s ok to drink and allow for social drinking all the while saying they love Jesus. There is no such thing as social drinking in the eyes of God. In fact the Lord says, “look not.”

32 At the last it biteth like a serpent, and stingeth like an adder.

The bitterness of alcohol and the stinging of it is a death nell as the adder when he strikes. I personally know of people who have died from sclerosis of the liver from drinking. What about those who have died from accidents and fights and from incurable alcoholic ulcers? Oh, my friend, it certainly does sting like an adder.

33 Thine eyes shall behold strange women, and thine heart shall utter perverse things.

Perverseness of both the eyes and the mouth accompany this vile substance. Men see women with lust when they are drunk, the same with women. How many rendezvous have been made at the bar or concert when people are drunk only to end up with STDs? How many marriages have been broken because of this type of action?

34 Yea, thou shalt be as he that lieth down in the midst of the sea, or as he that lieth upon the top of a mast.

This verse describes the bed spins of people who are drunk. Spinning and vomiting always seem to go together.

35 They have stricken me, shalt thou say, and I was not sick; they have beaten me, and I felt it not: when shall I awake? I will seek it yet again.

The drunkard seldom feels their physical pain when fighting. When they awake they remember very little of past events.

“I will seek it yet again” is addiction.

Jesus never ever drank alcohol nor did He make alcohol and the wedding of Cana. Read John chapter 2 very closely.

Any alcohol in the communion is like saying Jesus’ blood was full of alcohol symbolizing Jesus as a drunk. Any church that does such a thing is blaspheming Christ. Leave that church as fast as you can.

Proverbs 20:1 Wine is a mocker, strong drink is raging: and whosoever is deceived thereby is not wise.

Just the thought of believing alcohol is ok means you have been deceived and are not wise.

Job 28:28 And unto man he said, Behold, the fear of the Lord, that is wisdom; and to depart from evil is understanding.

Morning Devotion: Read Proverbs

Proverbs 23:27 For a w***e is a deep ditch; and a strange woman is a narrow pit. 28 She also lieth in wait as for a prey, and increaseth the transgressors among men.

Proverbs 6:26 For by means of a whorish woman a man is brought to a piece of bread: and the adulteress will hunt for the precious life.

Hebrews 13:4 Marriage is honourable in all, and the bed undefiled: but w***emongers and adulterers God will judge.

Most people know the implications of these passages of scriptures. However, these passages are but the tip of the iceberg when it comes the full meaning. Our Lord takes this idea of w***edoms to a much higher level. He explains that man has gone into w***edoms spiritually.

Israel played the part of a w***e when she worshiped idols even though the Lord said: Exodus 20:3 Thou shalt have no other gods before me.

Exodus 20:5a Thou shalt not bow down thyself to them, nor serve them:

Jeremiah 3:9 And it came to pass through the lightness of her w***edom, that she defiled the land, and committed adultery with stones and with stocks.

Israel played the part of a w***e when she began to live after the ways of other countries who violate the commandments of God.

Ezekiel 16:28 Thou hast played the w***e also with the Assyrians, because thou wast unsatiable; yea, thou hast played the harlot with them, and yet couldest not be satisfied.

Ezekiel 20:30 Wherefore say unto the house of Israel, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Are ye polluted after the manner of your fathers? and commit ye w***edom after their abominations?

In the end times, of which we now live, there is a great w***e which deceives the world and will ultimately be judged by God. (God showed this to the Apostle John in the book of Revelation.)

Revelation 17:3 So he carried me away in the spirit into the wilderness: and I saw a woman sit upon a scarlet coloured beast, full of names of blasphemy, having seven heads and ten horns. 4 And the woman was arrayed in purple and scarlet colour, and decked with gold and precious stones and pearls, having a golden cup in her hand full of abominations and filthiness of her fornication: 5 And upon her forehead was a name written, MYSTERY, BABYLON THE GREAT, THE MOTHER OF HARLOTS AND ABOMINATIONS OF THE EARTH. 6 And I saw the woman drunken with the blood of the saints, and with the blood of the martyrs of Jesus: and when I saw her, I wondered with great admiration.

Revelation 19:2 For true and righteous are his judgments: for he hath judged the great w***e, which did corrupt the earth with her fornication, and hath avenged the blood of his servants at her hand.

The above passage, in Revelation speaks of the great w***e the catholic church. Read all of chapter 17.

My friend, both physically and spiritually men, and christians live this life of ill repute.

Christians are never to be involved with worshiping false Gods and Idols, yet we see churches filled with such things.

Christians are never to be involved with worldly sacrifice and worldly worship, yet we see such things.

Christians are never to be involved in the great false religion that controls much of the world today. Yet, they are deceived.

2Corinthians 6:14 Be ye not unequally yoked together with unbelievers: for what fellowship hath righteousness with unrighteousness? and what communion hath light with darkness? 15 And what concord hath Christ with Belial? or what part hath he that believeth with an infidel? 16 And what agreement hath the temple of God with idols? for ye are the temple of the living God; as God hath said, I will dwell in them, and walk in them; and I will be their God, and they shall be my people.

There is nothing wrong with worshiping the Lord in the beauty of holiness, it’s clean, it’s pure and it’s right with God.

Psalm 29:2 Give unto the LORD the glory due unto his name; worship the LORD in the beauty of holiness.

Psalm 96:9 O worship the LORD in the beauty of holiness: fear before him, all the earth.

John 4:24 God is a Spirit: and they that worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth.

Morning Devotion: Read Proverbs

Proverbs 23:20 Be not among winebibbers; among riotous eaters of flesh: 21 For the drunkard and the glutton shall come to poverty: and drowsiness shall clothe a man with rags.

In very simple terms, this passage means: don’t be given over to be a party boy or girl. In the grand scheme of things the person who spends much of their time partying involving themselves in revelry are distracted from what is going on around them. This type of lifestyle is exactly what the bible declares will happen in the last days.

2Timothy 3:1 This know also, that in the last days perilous times shall come. 2 For men shall be lovers of their own selves, covetous, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy, 3 Without natural affection, trucebreakers, false accusers, incontinent, fierce, despisers of those that are good, 4 Traitors, heady, highminded, lovers of pleasures more than lovers of God; 5 Having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof: from such turn away.

In our text our Lord says to refrain from being with those who would be such. We find the phrase “be not among,” meaning don’t go there and do that with them. It will eventually lead to trouble.

The Prophet Isaiah gives us the results of the partying lifestyle.

Isaiah 5:11 Woe unto them that rise up early in the morning, that they may follow strong drink; that continue until night, till wine inflame them! 12 And the harp, and the viol, the tabret, and pipe, and wine, are in their feasts: but they regard not the work of the LORD, neither consider the operation of his hands. 13 Therefore my people are gone into captivity, because they have no knowledge: and their honourable men are famished, and their multitude dried up with thirst.

Remember, these instructions, for life, are given by Solomon to his son.

Proverbs 1:1 The proverbs of Solomon the son of David, king of Israel; 2 To know wisdom and instruction; to perceive the words of understanding; 3 To receive the instruction of wisdom, justice, and judgment, and equity; 4 To give subtilty to the simple, to the young man knowledge and discretion.

Proverbs 1:8 My son, hear the instruction of thy father, and forsake not the law of thy mother:

How many young people have had their lives ruined by following the party lifestyle? How many older people regret waisting their lives and their fortunes by embracing that which does not provide equity in life?

Keep your mind and heart sober for the Lord Jesus Christ.

1Peter 1:13 Wherefore gird up the loins of your mind, be sober, and hope to the end for the grace that is to be brought unto you at the revelation of Jesus Christ;

1Peter 4:7 But the end of all things is at hand: be ye therefore sober, and watch unto prayer.

Proverbs 23:20 Be not among winebibbers; among riotous eaters of flesh: 21 For the drunkard and the glutton shall come to poverty: and drowsiness shall clothe a man with rags.

Our Lord Jesus Christ was always sober and conscious of the will of God the Father; are you?

1Peter 5:8 Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour:

Morning Devotion: Read Proverbs

Proverbs 23:19 Hear thou, my son, and be wise, and guide thine heart in the way.

82 times the word heart is mentioned in the book of Proverbs.

765 word heart is mentioned in the scriptures with variations like hard hearted and hearts etc. the word is mentioned 895 times. Nowhere in the bible do we ever find the principle nor concept of one allowing their heart to guide them. We do not find the principle of following your heart. “Follow your heart” is the slogan many will promote. God does not teach man to follow his heart.

No one can fully know their heart for their heart is deceitful.

Jeremiah 17:9 The heart is deceitful above all things, and desperately wicked: who can know it?

Proverbs 2:10 When wisdom entereth into thine heart, and knowledge is pleasant unto thy soul;

Proverbs 3:1 My son, forget not my law; but let thine heart keep my commandments:

Proverbs 4:4 He taught me also, and said unto me, Let thine heart retain my words: keep my commandments, and live.

Our verse for today tells us to guide our hearts not follow our hearts. God tells us to guide our hearts in the way.

Proverbs 23:19 Hear thou, my son, and be wise, and guide thine heart in the way.

To guide ones heart means one has to restrain their heart and control their hearts and monitor their hearts, not follow something that they cannot understand.

Proverbs 4:23 Keep thy heart with all diligence; for out of it are the issues of life.

What is the way? The answer is very simple; guide your heart in God’s way, God’s will, God’s word. My friend, it is the way of the Lord. That is wisdom.

Acts 18:25a This man was instructed in the way of the Lord;

It is the way of God.

Acts 18:26 And he began to speak boldly in the synagogue: whom when Aquila and Priscilla had heard, they took him unto them, and expounded unto him the way of God more perfectly.

Do you know the way of the Lord?

Do you follow your heart and its desires and wants and wishes, or do you trust the Lord with all your heart?

Proverbs 3:5 Trust in the LORD with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding. 6 In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths. 7 Be not wise in thine own eyes: fear the LORD, and depart from evil. 8 It shall be health to thy navel, and marrow to thy bones.

Most of the world, including religions, and denominations follow their own hearts rather than the Lord.

What are you following? Are you following “the Way?”

Proverbs 23:17 Let not thine heart envy sinners: but be thou in the fear of the LORD all the day long. 18 For surely there is an end; and thine expectation shall not be cut off.

The bible tells us that sin is pleasurable for a season. That means sin does not last giving the temporary pleasure but a moment.

Moses chose to suffer with God’s people rather than enjoy the pleasures of sin.

Hebrews 11:25 Choosing rather to suffer affliction with the people of God, than to enjoy the pleasures of sin for a season;

To envy that which is temporary is to envy that which is naught. Would we as believers see the fleeting moment of sin? Would we as believers understand that there is an end and there is an eternity to follow?

Psalm 73 is a wonderful chapter explaining this very idea of how the lost world thinks and behaves and how the believer can get caught up in their antics and pleasure.

Psalm 73:1 A Psalm of Asaph. Truly God is good to Israel, even to such as are of a clean heart. 2 But as for me, my feet were almost gone; my steps had well nigh slipped. 3 For I was envious at the foolish, when I saw the prosperity of the wicked. 4 For there are no bands in their death: but their strength is firm. 5 They are not in trouble as other men; neither are they plagued like other men. 6 Therefore pride compasseth them about as a chain; violence covereth them as a garment. 7 Their eyes stand out with fatness: they have more than heart could wish. 8 They are corrupt, and speak wickedly concerning oppression: they speak loftily. 9 They set their mouth against the heavens, and their tongue walketh through the earth. 10 Therefore his people return hither: and waters of a full cup are wrung out to them. 11 And they say, How doth God know? and is there knowledge in the most High. 12 Behold, these are the ungodly, who prosper in the world; they increase in riches. 13 Verily I have cleansed my heart in vain, and washed my hands in innocency. 14 For all the day long have I been plagued, and chastened every morning. 15 If I say, I will speak thus; behold, I should offend against the generation of thy children. 16 When I thought to know this, it was too painful for me; 17 Until I went into the sanctuary of God; then understood I their end. 18 Surely thou didst set them in slippery places: thou castedst them down into destruction. 19 How are they brought into desolation, as in a moment! they are utterly consumed with terrors. 20 As a dream when one awaketh; so, O Lord, when thou awakest, thou shalt despise their image. 21 Thus my heart was grieved, and I was pricked in my reins. 22 So foolish was I, and ignorant: I was as a beast before thee. 23 Nevertheless I am continually with thee: thou hast holden me by my right hand. 24 Thou shalt guide me with thy counsel, and afterward receive me to glory. 25 Whom have I in heaven but thee? and there is none upon earth that I desire beside thee. 26 My flesh and my heart faileth: but God is the strength of my heart, and my portion for ever. 27 For, lo, they that are far from thee shall perish: thou hast destroyed all them that go a wh***ng from thee. 28 But it is good for me to draw near to God: I have put my trust in the Lord GOD, that I may declare all thy works.

Coupling verse 28 of Psalm 73 with our text makes perfect sense.

Proverbs 23:17 Let not thine heart envy sinners: but be thou in the fear of the LORD all the day long. 18 For surely there is an end; and thine expectation shall not be cut off.

Today, make God your choice, trust Him no matter what the sinners do. Eventually God will bring all things into judgment. Those who follow the Lord will be with Him for all eternity while the others meet their end. (Read Revelation 20:11-15)

Morning Devotion: Read Proverbs

Proverbs 23:15 My son, if thine heart be wise, my heart shall rejoice, even mine. 16 Yea, my reins shall rejoice, when thy lips speak right things.

As the father speaks intimately with his son he explains that his heart rejoices in the fact that his son walks in wisdom and speaks right things. That should be the goal of every father. Seeing your children walk in such a way comforts and rejoices the heart knowing your children walk in truth, wisdom and righteousness.

The same applies to God our Father as He watches His children and rejoices in the fact that they too walk in truth and in wisdom and righteousness.

3John 1:3 For I rejoiced greatly, when the brethren came and testified of the truth that is in thee, even as thou walkest in the truth. 4 I have no greater joy than to hear that my children walk in truth.

Psalms 26:1 A Psalm of David. Judge me, O LORD; for I have walked in mine integrity: I have trusted also in the LORD; therefore I shall not slide. 2 Examine me, O LORD, and prove me; try my reins and my heart. 3 For thy lovingkindness is before mine eyes: and I have walked in thy truth.

Could you pray the same prayer as David? Could you say you have walk in your integrity trusting the Lord.

Both in Proverbs 23 and in this Psalm we find the word “reins.” That word is the word used when one rides a horse and uses the reins to guid the horse. Reins are used to direct the will of the horse.

In both passages we find that word used on a personal level. In Proverbs, the will of the father rejoices when the will if the son is good and right.

In Psalms David yields his will to God the Father. He gives his will over to God’s testing when he says “try my reins and my heart.”

Is your will pleasing to God the Father, or, do you have a will of your own?

If God were to test you, would your will be rebellious or angry or without faith? Would your will be against God? Could you pray as David: “Judge me, O LORD; for I have walked in mine integrity: I have trusted also in the LORD; therefore I shall not slide.”

Proverbs 23:13 Withhold not correction from the child: for if thou beatest him with the rod, he shall not die. 14 Thou shalt beat him with the rod, and shalt deliver his soul from hell.

Correction administered without wrath, or malice, or in severity but with love will be more profitable to a child than to let that child grow up without it. Growing up without correction leads to chaos and that individual’s life will be filled with self, without regard for others. Eventually, without present or immediate correction, their life will be filled with unsubdued self seeking pleasure and often at the expense of others.

On the other side, God admonishes the father in restraint when it comes to correction. Ephesians 6:4 And, ye fathers, provoke not your children to wrath: but bring them up in the nurture and admonition of the Lord.

There must be a balance in correction. Correction that is too harsh may bring rebellion and correction that is too little may bring forth disrespect.

We are reminded of several men in the scriptures who did not correct their children, as a result their children were corrected by God. One in point is Eli; Eli, the high priest of Israel, in 1 Samuel chapter 2 had two sons who grew up without restraint. They polluted the worship of God in the temple. They also committed adultery with the women who came to worship at the temple.

Not all pastors and preachers and leaders of modern churches are godly. They may be just like Eli’s sons in not knowing the Lord and trying to do the service of God with a heart of Belial. (Belial means wicked, ungodly and naughty.)

1Samuel 2:12 Now the sons of Eli were sons of Belial; they knew not the LORD.

Although Eli spoke with his sons, he did not correct them. As a result God slew them.

1Samuel 2:22 Now Eli was very old, and heard all that his sons did unto all Israel; and how they lay with the women that assembled at the door of the tabernacle of the congregation. 23 And he said unto them, Why do ye such things? for I hear of your evil dealings by all this people. 24 Nay, my sons; for it is no good report that I hear: ye make the LORD'S people to transgress. 25 If one man sin against another, the judge shall judge him: but if a man sin against the LORD, who shall intreat for him? Notwithstanding they hearkened not unto the voice of their father, because the LORD would slay them.

A child who is brought up in the nurture and admonition of the Lord will have a better chance of living a life that pleases the Lord and ultimately the parents.

Proverbs 29:17 Correct thy son, and he shall give thee rest; yea, he shall give delight unto thy soul.

To have a son or daughter walking in righteousness is a delightful thing indeed. There are no worries and there is rest to the soul of the parents.

The Lord corrects His children. (Read Hebrews chapter 12:6-15)

Proverbs 23:12 Apply thine heart unto instruction, and thine ears to the words of knowledge.

Proverbs 23:19 Hear thou, my son, and be wise, and guide thine heart in the way.

The writer of this Proverb, Solomon, is gently admonishing his son to follow the Lord with his heart. He admonishes with the principle of applying the heart to instruction and knowledge.

“Apply thine heart” and “guide thine heart” are steps that we as believers must take ourselves. God gives you every opportunity to apply your heart and guide your heart through His word.

Proverbs 2:1 My son, if thou wilt receive my words, and hide my commandments with thee; 2 So that thou incline thine ear unto wisdom, and apply thine heart to understanding; 3 Yea, if thou criest after knowledge, and liftest up thy voice for understanding; 4 If thou seekest her as silver, and searchest for her as for hid treasures; 5 Then shalt thou understand the fear of the LORD, and find the knowledge of God. 6 For the LORD giveth wisdom: out of his mouth cometh knowledge and understanding.

All through the scriptures we are admonished take personal responsibility and personal action with regard to God’s word and will. God says seek ye first the kingdom of God, ask and ye shall receive, call upon Me, learn of me, etc. These are things we must take upon ourselves.

I you desire wisdom, ask God, He will give you wisdom.

James 1:5 If any of you lack wisdom, let him ask of God, that giveth to all men liberally, and upbraideth not; and it shall be given him.

For the believer, the Christian, the born-again person, God makes everything available to you for all of your faith and practice and living this life. It is up to you to make application and let God’s word guide you.

Matthew 11:28 Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. 29 Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls. 30 For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light.

Christian, are you reading God’s word? Are you applying what you read? Are you letting God’s word guide you?

If you are not a born-again believer, God makes salvation available to you as well. While you cannot save yourself, you can personally trust in the Lord Jesus Christ to save your soul.

Romans 10:9 That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. 10 For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation. 11 For the scripture saith, Whosoever believeth on him shall not be ashamed. 12 For there is no difference between the Jew and the Greek: for the same Lord over all is rich unto all that call upon him. 13 For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.

Proverbs 23:6 Eat thou not the bread of him that hath an evil eye, neither desire thou his dainty meats: 7 For as he thinketh in his heart, so is he: Eat and drink, saith he to thee; but his heart is not with thee. 8 The morsel which thou hast eaten shalt thou vomit up, and lose thy sweet words.

As in verses 1-3 we again find the admonition about dining with an insincere person. We find the admonition is toward our us and our own appetites or desires compelling us to compromise for the sake of advancement.

There may be kind and courteous words spoken in efforts to bring about compromise. There may be subtle and mischievous presentations of dainty meats and morsels veiled in deceit to bring about unwanted change. Eventually the sweet words used and accepted will turn to vomit.

Sweet words are not always sweet words.

The pretended kindness is given to cause one to feel obligated to return the favour. Ulterior motives are hard to detect when the heart and mind is distracted by dainty meats, morsels and good conversations for you can never know the heart of the provider nor the evil eye they may have until it is too late.

I am reminded of the prophet in 1 Kings chapter 13. The man of God was instructed to go to Bethel and prophesy against the altar. Jeroboam, after hearing the man of God speak God’s word and experiencing God’s judgment, invited the man of God to dine with him.

God gave instruction to the man of God to refrain from eating or drinking there.

1Kings 13:7 And the king said unto the man of God, Come home with me, and refresh thyself, and I will give thee a reward. 8 And the man of God said unto the king, If thou wilt give me half thine house, I will not go in with thee, neither will I eat bread nor drink water in this place: 9 For so was it charged me by the word of the LORD, saying, Eat no bread, nor drink water, nor turn again by the same way that thou camest. 10 So he went another way, and returned not by the way that he came to Bethel.

In verses 13 - 19 of 1Kings 13, we find another false prophet compelling the man of God to dine with him falsely claiming God had also spoken to him to do so.

The rest of the chapter details the compromise of the first man of God. He did eat of the dainty meats and the morsels, and he did drink. He disobeyed God and accepted the bread of him who had an evil eye and a corrupt heart.

Proverbs 23:6 Eat thou not the bread of him that hath an evil eye, neither desire thou his dainty meats: 7 For as he thinketh in his heart, so is he: Eat and drink, saith he to thee; but his heart is not with thee. 8 The morsel which thou hast eaten shalt thou vomit up, and lose thy sweet words.

The compromise cost the man of God his life.

1Kings 13:21 And he cried unto the man of God that came from Judah, saying, Thus saith the LORD, Forasmuch as thou hast disobeyed the mouth of the LORD, and hast not kept the commandment which the LORD thy God commanded thee, 22 But camest back, and hast eaten bread and drunk water in the place, of the which the LORD did say to thee, Eat no bread, and drink no water; thy carcase shall not come unto the sepulchre of thy fathers. 23 And it came to pass, after he had eaten bread, and after he had drunk, that he saddled for him the ass, to wit, for the prophet whom he had brought back. 24 And when he was gone, a lion met him by the way, and slew him: and his carcase was cast in the way, and the ass stood by it, the lion also stood by the carcase.

Not all pastors, not all teachers, not all kings or politicians are who they pretend to be for their heart may think one thing while doing another.

Does that mean we should never trust anyone and dine with others. No! The answer is that you should always be mindful of God’s word. Follow God and His word no matter what.

When it comes to salvation, there will be many who will tell, compel and give you alternative ways to be saved. They will give you spiritual dainty meats and morsels; don’t believe them. Follow God’s word.

John 14:6 Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.

Acts 4:12 Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved.

Jesus Himself said: Mark 1:15 And saying, The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God is at hand: repent ye, and believe the gospel.
