NOT OUR HOME!

This world is not my home
I'm just a-passing through
My treasures are laid up
Somewhere beyond the blue(Song by Jim Reeves)

"This world is not our home; we are looking forward to our city in Heaven, which is yet to come!" Hebrews 13:14

We are strangers and pilgrims on the earth.

This present world is not our home.

We are coming up from the wilderness with our faces Zion-ward; we are traveling to the celestial city!

Our path is rough, but the Savior sustains us.

Our pilgrimage lies through a wilderness, but faith cheers us with a view of the glorious rest of the redeemed in our Father's house--in mansions of blessedness.

Let this consideration animate us amid the conflicts of life. In a little while we shall obtain a joyous entrance into the rest above. The storms of life's ocean will soon carry us into the haven of peace, where there is no trouble.

The language of inspiration is, "Get up, go away! For this is not your resting place, because it is defiled--it is ruined, beyond all remedy."

Your Savior, pilgrim Christian, has prepared for you a nobler rest than this polluted world!

In His(Jesus) Father's house are many spacious mansions, where your happy spirit, after tasting the bitter cup of life's sorrow, shall rest in eternal blessedness!

"For this world is not our home; we are looking forward to our city in Heaven, which is yet to come!" Hebrews 13:14

The angels beckon me
From heaven's open door
And I can't feel at home
In this world anymore

Oh Lord, you know
I have no friend like you
If heaven's not my home
Then Lord, what will I do?

The angels beckon me
From heaven's open door
And I can't feel at home In this world any more

May God help us to find our rest In Him &with Him

Nobody likes to be corrected, but when correction is given out of a genuine heart and is received from a teachable spirit, there is always an opportunity to learn and grow.

Intoxicating to the unregenerate heart!

"He died for our sins, just as God our Father planned--in order to rescue us from this evil world in which we live." Galatians 1:4

This world is evil, yet it is fair to look upon, with . . .
its pleasures,
its gaieties,
its riches,
its glories,
its pomps,
its glitter,
its songs,
its magnificent palaces,
its gorgeous array.

This world is intoxicating to the unregenerate heart!

This world's religion is decked out in its beauty of temple, picture, statue, and image of every kind.

The world's wisdom is seen in . . .
its astronomy,
its natural science,
its mechanical arts,
its architecture,
its skill in ornament,
with all fascinations for the natural man, all stimulants for . . .
the lust of the flesh,
the lust of the eye,
and the pride of life.

All natural knowledge, natural beauty, natural progress, are here. Intellect, power, greatness, pomp, splendor--all are here in the world.

We loved this present evil world, and delighted in its vanities--it was the home of our hearts.

But God called us out of this evil world. With His own almighty voice He called us. We could not but obey--it was irresistible. Hence He made us willing in the day of his power.

"He died for our sins, just as God our Father planned--in order to rescue us from this evil world in which we live." Galatians 1:4

A cross of their own choosing

"I have learned to be content whatever the circumstances.
I know both how to have a little, and I know how to have a lot.
In any and all circumstances I have learned the secret of being content;
whether well-fed or hungry, whether in abundance or in need."
Philippians 4:11-12

Paul knew how to manage in every state--he learned to be content whatever his circumstances.
If he was in prosperity, he knew how to be thankful.
If he was in adversity, he knew how to be patient.
He was neither lifted up with prosperity, nor cast down with adversity.

A Christian should be content in any and every situation.
Many are contented in some conditions--but not in every condition.
They can be content in a wealthy state.
When they have the streams of milk and honey--now they are content;
but if the wind turns and is against them--now they are discontented.
While they have a silver crutch to lean upon--they are contented;
but if God breaks this crutch--now they are discontented.

Many would be content with their affliction--if God would allow them to pick and choose! They could better endure sickness--than poverty; or bear loss of estate--than loss of children. If they might have a cross of their own choosing, they would be content!

But a contented Christian does not desire to choose his cross--but leaves God to choose for him! He is content both for the kind of the afflictions, and the duration of the afflictions, which God gives him. A contented man says, "Let God apply whatever medicine He pleases, and let it lie on as long as He desires. I know when it has done its cure, and eaten the venom of sin out of my heart--that God will take it away!"

A contented Christian, being sweetly captivated under the authority of the Word, desires to be wholly at God's disposal, and cheerfully lives in whatever circumstances that God has placed him in. "I delight in weaknesses, in insults, in hardships, in persecutions, in difficulties." (2 Corinthians 12:10) He does not only submit to God's dealings, but rejoices in them!

What voices seduce you? Distract you? Lure you away from your destiny? To be clear, if you have the gift of Christ in your heart, you are set for life. Sin cannot destroy you. But it can trip you, ensnare you, entangle you. It cannot take your salvation, but it can take your joy, peace of mind, and rest.

You don't need to blame God for your failure.

SWEET IN THE MOUTH,BUT BITTER IN THE BELLY!

See the evil effects of sin!

Sin has degraded us of our honor. God made us in His own image, but sin has debased us. Sin has plucked off our coat of innocence--and now it has debased us, and turned our glory into shame.

Sin disquiets the peace of the soul. "But the wicked are like the tossing sea, which cannot rest, whose waves cast up mire and mud." "There is no peace," says my God, "for the wicked." Isaiah 57:20-21. Whatever defiles, disturbs. As poison corrupts the blood--so sin corrupts the soul. Sin breeds a trembling at the heart--it creates fears, and there is "torment in fear."

Sin makes sad convulsions in the conscience. Judas was so terrified with guilt and horror, that he hanged himself to quiet his conscience. In order to ease his conscience, he threw himself into Hell.

Sin produces all temporal evil. It is the Trojan Horse, which has sword, and famine and pestilence, in its belly! Sin is a coal, which not only blackens, but burns! Sin creates all our troubles--it puts gravel into our bread, and wormwood in our cup. Sin rots the name, consumes the estate, and buries loved ones.

Sin unrepented of, brings final damnation. The canker which breeds in the rose, is the cause of its perishing. Just so, the corruptions which breed in men's souls, are the cause of their damning. Sin's pleasure will turn to sorrow at last. Like the book the prophet ate--sin is sweet in the mouth, but bitter in the belly! Sin brings the wrath of God, and what tears can quench that fire?

The Word is so full of goodness, justice, and sanctity--that it could be breathed from none but God.
It bears His very image.
It has no errata in it.
It is a beam of the Sun of Righteousness.
It is a crystal stream, flowing from the Fountain of Life.
It commends to us whatever is "just, lovely, and noble.

05/10/2023

The love of sin makes sin taste sweet--this sweetness beguiles the heart, and ruins the soul.
