So…You think Jesus is king?

by | posted in: Uncategorized | 136,050

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.

    It’s almost time to send your kids back to school, and if your child has an interest in mechanical engineering or model building, there are several model engine kits to help them get started with wrenching. Each will teach them basic concepts of how engines work, as well as lessons in how to follow complex instruction sets and solve problems. These kits range from simple engines that demonstrate how thermodynamics work, to fully functioning replicas of automotive engines, to a pump that resembles an oil drilling rig and a variety of steam-powered engines.

    You’ll also see the total volume of a car’s cylinders quoted in a measurement called the displacement , which is the volume of a car’s cylinders multiplied by how many of them there are. (In other words, it’s ПЂ/4 Г— bore Г— bore Г— stroke Г— number of cylinders.) So when you hear a car described as having a “two-liter engine,” that usually means it has four cylinders of 0.5 liters or six cylinders of 0.33 liters. The displacement is a rough guide to how much power a car engine can make and you’ll usually see it quoted in either liters or cc (cubic centimeters); 1 liter is the same as 1000 cc.
    Alternatively, you can also use specifically-designed labeling tape to mark each duct.
    By design, the rotary engine burns oil. There are oil squirters in the intake manifold, as well as injectors to spray oil directly into the combustion chamber. Not only does this mean the driver must regularly check oil levels to keep the rotor properly lubricated, but it also means more bad stuff comes out the tailpipe. And the environment hates bad stuff.
