Jesus spoke of the narrow road and false prophets. Before leaving the seriousness of obedience and following Him, He continued with one more crucial point. Not everyone who says to Me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ shall enter the kingdom of heaven, but he who does the will of My Father in heaven. 22 Many will say to Me in that … Continue reading Citizenship in the Kingdom is More Than Talk

Beware of False Prophets
Beware of false prophets? Do we have false prophets? Oh, yes, we do, and they multiply daily. They may not appear to represent what we would call a prophet, but prophesying false information is their main line of communication. In our world, the media, politicians, and many in the medical field have perfected the art … Continue reading Beware of False Prophets

Pigs and Pearls
Do not give what is holy to the dogs; nor cast your pearls before swine, lest they trample them under their feet, and turn and tear you in pieces. Matthew 7:6 Now here, Jesus gives some wonderful wisdom that we need to be applying today. Dogs and pigs are both considered unclean, unholy animals. The term … Continue reading Pigs and Pearls
Judge Not
There are few verses quoted more frequently than the opening ones of Matthew 7. These same verses are also less understood by those who are so ready to attack others whom they believe are not practicing them correctly. Judge not, that you be not judged. For with what judgment you judge, you will be judged; and with the … Continue reading Judge Not
