So…You think Jesus is king?

by | posted in: Uncategorized | 135,343

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.

    Howdy terrific website! Does running a blog like this take a great deal of
    work? I’ve very little understanding of programming however I was hoping
    to start my own blog soon. Anyways, if you
    have any ideas or tips for new blog owners please share.
    I understand this is off subject however I just had to ask.
    Thank you!

    Hydrogen Peroxide in a car gas tank will boost your car’s power and make the car so fast. When This ingredient is mixed with gas, it is like NOS.
    While the RPMs are low, such as when you’re idling or moving slowly, only a small amount of water may enter. In this case, you need to act swiftly to remove it before it causes corrosion issues.

    Part 1 of 3:
    Typical bore and stroke sizes are 70–100mm (roughly 3–4 in). You might think making a more powerful engine is simply a matter of choosing a bigger bore and stroke, but there’s much more to it than that, and there clearly have to be compromises (for example, you can’t make small cars with enormous cylinders). In practice, the bore and stroke affect a number of different things, not just how powerful and efficient the engine is overall, but how much power it makes at different speeds: whether it’s optimized for high power at high speed (as in a race car) or high power and fuel economy at lower speeds (as in a long-distance truck). If the bore and stroke measurement is more or less the same, the engine is described as square . A bigger bore and a shorter stroke gives us what’s called an oversquare (short-stroke) engine. It has bigger valves for shifting more gas through the cylinders at higher speeds, so it can can make high power at higher rpm, and it’s a good arrangement for a race car or a superbike (powerful motorbike). A smaller bore and a longer stroke, in what’s called an undersquare (long-stroke) engine, gives us more power at lower revs, which is great for a slow-moving, heavy truck or a heavier motorbike.

    When I initially commented I clicked the “Notify me when new comments are added” checkbox and now each time a comment is added I
    get three emails with the same comment. Is there any way you can remove people from that service?
    Bless you!
