So…You think Jesus is king?

by | posted in: Uncategorized | 140,827

With all this election posting on social media, one thing has caught my attention. A lot of people keep posting that Christ is King. If that is so, and I would agree with them, then the question I have is this. Do we realize what making Christ King means for our lives?

The first thing is that is Jesus is king, then he is king over all, whether they have accepted him or not.  This also means he is king over all our politics, business deals, education, and every other part of our lives. To have a king is different than a president or governor. A king has total authority to determine how we shall live. We have a choice to either submit in total to the kings will or live in adversity to him and risk the wrath of the judgment of the king. There is also the third party that gives lip service to the king but ignores his statutes. This is where I argue much of the church is today. We have sought peace from earthly kings and now believe we have elected one. So what now? Now we need to do what we should do regardless who sits in government. We need to cry out to the Lord, “We have sinned, because we have forsaken the Lord and have served the Baals and the Ashtaroth. But now deliver us out of the hand of our enemies, that we may serve you.” (1 Sam. 12:10) “ And now behold the king whom you have chosen, for whom you have asked; behold, the Lord has set a king over you. 14 If you will fear the Lord and serve him and obey his voice and not rebel against the commandment of the Lord, and if both you and the king who reigns over you will follow the Lord your God, it will be well. 15 But if you will not obey the voice of the Lord, but rebel against the commandment of the Lord, then the hand of the Lord will be against you and your king.” (1 Sam. 12:13-15)

We have chosen our earthly king, but he must submit to the authority of God for things to go well with us. But all the cards are not in his lap. It is us who should study to show ourselves approved. Paul tells us in 1 Thessalonians that to be entrusted with the gospel means we must speak not to please man, but to please God. If we have been transformed by the gospel ourselves, then we live by God’s standards and we need to stop trying to change them to match our standards. We must seek out the standards of God and seek to live as salt and light, different from the world and quit assimilating into it. We must seek the standards of God because they will show us the error of our ways and cause us to repent. Repentance is a beautiful thing. It brings us to God and when he pours his mercy and grace on us we have true peace. In God’s kingdom there is freedom, true freedom, the kind that comes from serving a good king. One who does not lay heavy burdens on His people. But this king calls us to go into the world with truth, not with feel goodness but with truth that can sometimes be hard. But it has to begin with each of us individually. We must apply the truth of God to our own lives. Then apply it to our families and finally our churches. That is when we will see the freedom and peace, for ourselves and for our children.

So if you believe God is truly on the throne, then seek the king’s orders. He is a king who loves, a king who died for you, so give your life to serve him in how He commands.

    You really make it seem so easy with your presentation but I find this topic to be actually something which I think I would never understand.
    It seems too complicated and extremely broad for me.
    I am looking forward for your next post, I’ll try to get the hang
    of it!

    Пока good

    С самого начала, когда я начал здесь торговать я зарабатывал не много, и страшновато было, но сейчас я уже втянулся и доход у меня не плохой, я доволен. На парах пробовала сначала, потом и крипту начала осваиваить, на крипте конечно более выгодно. Заработок свой я выводил несколько раз и проблем не было. С поддержкой общался недавно, ребята понятливые и помощь по сути получил без воды. Бонусы разные есть, но еще не применял. Пока что брокером доволен вполне.

    не жалею, что начал здесь работать

    Поключился к трейдеру skaktrade. За несколько месяцев отличная прибыль. Впервые пробую копитрейдинг и вижу, что реально работает. Копируешь себе сделки и торгуешь без нервных срывов. Пока в плюсе….продолжаю дальше….

    деньги пришли быстро
    Supasertio Сентябрь 30, 2023
    В Эсперио я попал совершенно случайно как говорится за компанию. Зарегистрировался, ну пополнил счет. Неожидал, что быстро получу прибыль если честно. На Тесле поднялся, поставил на вывод половину своих денег . Я думал, что будут какие то трудности, но все прошло успешно. Деньги пришли через 2 дня. Нормально можно работать тут.

    время покажет
    Владимир Свой” Октябрь 18, 2023
    Верификация здесь быстрая, за это огромное спасибо. У предыдущего брокера, с которым у меня не сложилось я регистрировался целый день. Сами понимаете сколько нервов надо на это. А в Эсперио все оперативно и пошагово, никакой волокиты. Отличные условия для клиентов. Немного заработал уже и вывод проверил, пришли на второй день. Единственное, что в поддержку обращался два часа назад ответа пока нет…Увидим как дальше

    Трейдинг не мое
    Гарик Декабрь 27, 2023
    Мне трейдинг не подошёл, вообще не вижу себя в роли трейдера.
    Сколько бы я не учился, результат никакого нет.
    Заработал 10$, разве это успех? Не вижу смысла продолжать, только нервирую себя и даю надежды.
    Я здесь вывел 10 долларов и на этом конец.

    Metal artwork for walls is an increasingly popular decor decorating thanks to its adaptability and distinctive appearance.
    If you are in search of a statement piece or merely wish to introduce a touch of industrial character, metal wall
    art offers something for every decor style.

    sturdiness. In contrast to canvas artwork, metal installations stay impervious
    to aging, which makes them suitable for any indoor and outdoor spaces.

    furniture. Such artworks frequently include elements like aluminum
    and can be coated in a spectrum of finishes, from polished grey to bright tones like green.

    Conversely, if you favor a more look, you will find many
    metal wall art installations incorporating detailed designs and finishes that echo historical decor.

    These creations frequently include elements like bronze
    and can arrive adorned with patinas that give them an true aged look.

    In addition to aesthetics, metal wall art is found
    in a variety of types. Beginning with sculptures that bring texture to your rooms, to two-dimensional installations that function as accent pieces,
    the choices are endless.

    One of the favorite styles of metal wall art is the arboreal piece.

    These particular artworks often incorporate a tree
    design made from diverse metals, depicting nature and introducing a earthy feel to your home.

    Such pieces are often available in an array of sizes, from basic and refined to expansive and elaborate.

    A further popular style of metal wall art is the modern piece.
    Such pieces often include vibrant shapes and tones, resulting in a dynamic visual experience.
    They suit introducing a dash of energy to every room and may
    be placed as a centerpiece or even as an accent.

    Regarding selecting the ideal metal wall art for your home, there
    are a couple factors to think about. First,
    think about the scale of the artwork. Ensure that it suits the area where you plan to install it
    without dominating the space. Next, think about the aesthetic of the {piece|art
