So…You think Jesus is king?

by | posted in: Uncategorized | 310,611

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.

    Yesterday, while I was at work, my sister stole my apple
    ipad and tested to see if it can survive a 30 foot drop, just so she can be a youtube sensation.
    My apple ipad is now destroyed and she has 83 views. I know this
    is entirely off topic but I had to share it with someone!

    Another sweltering night here, the kind where the air itself feels like it’s weighing you down. I found myself logged into casino again. It’s usually my nighttime escape when the
    heat finally backs off a little.

    Honestly, lately, the wins have been few and far between. My balance is looking dangerously low, and I’m
    starting to sweat more about the wife finding out than the actual
    games. She’s been giving me that look, you know?

    My so-called ‘buddy’ – the one who’s always hanging
    about, practically looking over my shoulder – he’s always on here
    too. And the infuriating thing? He’s constantly on a lucky streak.

    Slots like slot_game_1 and slot_game_2, even that crazy aviator_game where the plane
    flies off with all your hopes. He even brags about his wins on slot_game_3 and slot_game_4.

    It’s like this place is playing favorites. Makes you wonder, doesn’t it?
    Especially with the way he looks at my wife when she’s not looking.

    Makes a man suspicious, this heat does.

    Despite all that, and maybe it’s just foolish hope,
    I still find myself drawn to favorite_slot_game.

    There’s something about those sweet symbols that keeps me clicking, even when the numbers
    aren’t falling my way.

    Maybe tonight will be different. Maybe the gaming spirits will finally throw me a bone.
    Or maybe my wife will just throw me out. Either way, here I am, spinning
    again at sportsbook.

    Pros:
    Available 24/7 (perfect for my late-night sessions)
    Wide variety of games (even if some seem to favor certain people)
    They do have favorite_slot_game, which I genuinely enjoy

    Cons:
    My personal luck here has been terrible lately
    Seeing him win constantly is incredibly frustrating
    Starting to seriously impact my real-life budget and relationships

    Overall: Divided. It’s a convenient way to pass the hot evenings, but my
    recent experiences and observations are making me seriously question if it’s worth the risk.

    Especially with everything else going on.

    I have been browsing online greater than 3 hours as of late, yet I by no means discovered any
    interesting article like yours. It is pretty value sufficient for me.
    In my view, if all webmasters and bloggers made excellent content as you did, the internet shall be much more useful than ever before.

    Heya this is kind of of off topic but I was wanting to know if blogs use WYSIWYG editors or if you have to manually code with
    HTML. I’m starting a blog soon but have no coding know-how so I wanted to get guidance from someone with experience.
    Any help would be enormously appreciated!
