If the Lord Jesus were to suddenly return and visit the local churches in our culture "in cognito" what would he find? What would he say about the way we worship God? Would he say to his people, "Well done?" Or would he say, as he did to his people in the Old Testament, "I don't accept your worship"? What sorts of things do we need to include in our corporate worship services so that he would indeed say to us, "Well done" on the Day of Judgment? Come with the Grace United crew as we discover the absolute necessity that his people worship him with authenticity.

Three identifying factors of real Christianity. They may not be what you think.

The human condition is bleak. Though many attempt to trumpet the inherent goodness of humanity, the reality of our own relationships, and of the relationships of communities, cities, states, and nations, proves quite the opposite. All of the evil things of the world have flowed out of the hearts of humans. Cleaning up the outside of lives makes us only hypocrites, still in bondage the base desires of our bodies. Jesus' Kiingdom is about God's rule within the lives of those who trust Him. God comes to reside within us. He has promised to give us new lives, eternal life, and new hearts. Hearts of flesh rather than hardened hearts of stone. We ought to continue to pursue Him, to trust Him. Keep on praying, saints! He is able to open deaf ears and make the truth plain. Sometimes, the answer to physical problems may be something spiritual. Shared by Jason Stuart Percy at Refuge Christian Fellowship Tallahassee on Sunday, March 8, 2020.

Jesus' ministry on Earth presented Himsefl as the Messiah to Israel and offered His promised Kingdom to His people. While many rejected His Kingdom by rejecting the King, some believed and have entered that Kingdom. Jesus instructions for those following Him are universal; we deny ourselves, however we have previously defined ourselves, and we submit to His authority. He is, after all, the King of His Kingdom. We often listen to the voices of our generation; we would do well to greater attention to the things Jesus has taught. He is the Eternal King, after all. Jesus doesn't gaurantee things will go the way we want; He promsises we will be recieved into an everlasting Kingdom. This is a great hope since, no matter what else happens, we are all dying.

We humans are all dead in our trespasses and sins. We have no life in us. It is the effectual call of Jesus, the giver and sustainer of life, that revives and enables us to trust Him. He cares not about the way of our traditions, especially those we use to put ourselves above others and to neglect our acts of service and charity (love) to our neighbor. We are those who excuse ourselves from obedience for myriads of reasons, all of which we excuse in ourselves and condemn in others. What hypocrites we are! True life, eternal life, is in the Father and in the Son, Jesus. He gives life to whomever He wills. Let us be those who diligently search the sscriptures, that we might know God as He reveals Himself through the prophets and apostles. But... let us not stop with having knowledge... let us go on to commune with Jesus, let us respond to Him, let us come to Him... and find life.

Three great words to live by: rest, remember, honor. These words are part and parcel of the 4th and 5th words God gave Moses that he might teach Israel how to really live. But "this is Old Testament! Can anything good come from studying THAT?" Come with the Grace United crew as we experience the 4th and 5th words of the Decalogue, a.k.a: the 10 Commandments.

Honor. Shame. These words carry a lot of weight. Regardless of time. Regardless of culture. In Israel, the Torah is to be the "sourcebook" to discover what actions are to bring honor to the Lord and to his people. The other side of the coin is what behaviors would bring shame, not only to the Lord but his people as well. Moses speaks of 4 shameful things in Deuteronomy 25. Strange things! What do these things mean in our day, to our culture as followers of Christ? Come with the Grace United crew as we discover what shame and honor are about.
