In all things, we must compare ourselves to the Word of God. While it's important to know 'What Would Jesus Do,' it is also important to consider the things that He Would not Do. Let there be a black and white difference. We must err on the side of His Righteousness, for He Is Holy! If you have ever been in the Presence of His Holiness, your knees buckle underneath you and you don’t have the strength to stand. Jesus Didn’t Sin on earth, and He Didn’t Go to Heaven to start.

One more: Refuse to cast out a demon
Modern day society has accepted these things as the norm. Yet, most of them would be abhorrent to our Holy God. It doesn’t matter if another person is doing these things. That is between them and the Lord. Each of us needs to monitor our own actions, and act as if we are standing before His Throne in every moment. In truth, we are. He Lives within us. Every thought, word and deed must be accounted for.
Many today, are expecting great signs and wonders, miracles and revival to break out. Jesus Isn’t cheap. He Gave 100% of Himself for us. We cannot think that a few songs sung in worship, or visiting a church upon occasion is enough. We cannot, through blinded eyes, think that He Doesn’t See our sins. That sin will block our blessings, and block us from experiencing His Presence and His Glory.
We each need to do a healthy self-assessment. Jesus Was and Is, the Epitome of Self-Control. He Is our Divine Example. This is not optional – it is required.
As a society, we’ve learned behaviors at rock concerts that are entirely unsuitable in churches. Remember How Jesus Turned the tables when His Father’s House of Prayer was defiled by the moneychangers? It’s happening again, all around us. Today, we see goods and services are being sold from the pulpit and amongst the congregants. God’s House Is Holy. He Gave us His Only Son, and He Expects us to give due reverence and respect. We need to restore the Holiness of His Sanctuaries! We need to prepare our hearts to meet the King of All Kings! We need to dress….as if He Was Going to Show up at any moment. We need to humble ourselves, as if Judgment Day was today. We need to respect others as His Creation, that He Loves, too. We need to pay our tithes without question or coercion. We need to walk the walk….just like Jesus Did, and still Does today. We serve a HOLY GOD!
There are many today, who believe that “God Knows I’m human, He’ll Forgive me!” That is the doctrine of the Nicolaitans, that Jesus Hated. It takes Grace for granted. Let’s not forget that this IS the God, Who Keeps 7 billion of us alive, and all the planets and stars in mathematical precision. There is no shadow of turning with Him. There is no darkness in Him. He IS Sinless, Pure and Holy. He, Is not to be taken for granted.
Let’s all get on board with God’s Plan as Written in His Word. Then – see what will happen. Meanwhile, put your desires on the back burner. Let’s get real before Him, while we still have a chance to correct what’s not right.
