So…You think Jesus is king?

posted in: Uncategorized | 142,836

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.

    Hey everyone! I’ve recently started incorporating Ceylon cinnamon into my daily routine, and I’m loving the results so far. I used to use regular cinnamon without really thinking about it, but after reading up on the differences between Ceylon cinnamon (also known as “true cinnamon”) and the more common Cassia variety, I decided to make the switch.

    One of the first things I noticed was the flavor—it’s a lot milder and sweeter than the Cassia cinnamon, which makes it perfect for baking, smoothies, or even just sprinkling on oatmeal. I’ve been using Ceylon cinnamon powder regularly, but I also keep Ceylon cinnamon sticks on hand for brewing teas and spicing up dishes. It adds a subtle but really pleasant flavor, without the strong bite you sometimes get from other cinnamons.

    Beyond the taste, I made the switch because of the health benefits. Ceylon cinnamon has significantly less coumarin than Cassia cinnamon, which makes it a much better option for long-term use, especially if you’re taking it in supplement form. I’ve been using Ceylon cinnamon supplements to help with blood sugar management and inflammation, and I’ve definitely noticed improvements in my energy levels and digestion.

    If you’re into natural products, I highly recommend giving Ceylon cinnamon products a try. Whether it’s the powder, sticks, or supplements, it’s such an easy way to add flavor to your meals and support your overall health at the same time. Plus, the fact that it’s lower in coumarin makes it a much safer option if you’re using it daily like I am. Has anyone else here made the switch to Ceylon cinnamon? I’d love to hear how you’re using it in your routine!

    I’ve been browsing online more than 3 hours today, yet I never found
    any interesting article like yours. It’s pretty worth enough for me.
    In my view, if all web owners and bloggers made good content as you did, the web will be a lot more useful than ever before.

    You actually make it seem really easy along with your presentation however I find this
    topic to be actually something that I think I’d by no means
    understand. It kind of feels too complex and extremely vast for me.
    I am looking ahead to your next publish, I’ll attempt to get the hang
    of it!
