So…You think Jesus is king?

by | posted in: Uncategorized | 245,004

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.

    A motivating discussion is worth comment. I do believe that you need to publish
    more about this subject, it may not be a taboo subject but generally people do not discuss
    these subjects. To the next! Best wishes!!

    Heya! I just wanted to ask if you ever have any issues
    with hackers? My last blog (wordpress) was hacked and I ended
    up losing many months of hard work due to no back up.
    Do you have any solutions to protect against hackers?

    1. Читайте Отзывы и Рейтинги

    Одним из самых простых методов оценить автосервис является чтение отзывов от других посетителей. Выясните онлайн-платформы, такие как Google Reviews, Yelp или автомобильные форумы. Рейтинги и комментарии посетителей могут предоставить для вас представление о качестве обслуживания и репутации автосервиса.

    2. Сертификация и Лицензии

    Удостоверьтесь, что автосервис имеет нужные сертификаты и лицензии. Это подтверждает их компетентность и соответствие эталонам области. Сертификация изготовителей автомашин также является неплохим показателем, потому что из этого можно сделать вывод, что механики обучены работе с определенными марками.

    3. Расспросите У Своих людей

    Спросите среди своих приятелей, коллег или соседей про то, куда они обращаются за обслуживанием своих автомашин. Личностные советы имеют все шансы быть одним из самых доверенных источников информации. В случае если у кого-либо есть положительный опыт, это может быть хорошим знаком.

    4. Исследуйте Цена Предложений

    Нельзя игнорировать вопрос цены. Сравните стоимости различных автосервисов для базовых услуг, этих как замена масла, тормозных колодок и диагностика. Будьте внимательны к сокрытым платежам и спросите о предоставлении подготовительной оценки до дел.

    5. Профессиональный Внешний вид

    не упустите из своего поля зрения общий экстерьер автосервиса. Чистота, порядок и умелый экстерьер могут свидетельствовать о том, что владельцы автосервиса придают значение составным частям и поддерживают высокие стереотипы.

    6. Используйте Осмотр Как Критерий

    Проведите осмотр автосервиса. не упустите из своего поля зрения присутствие передового оборудования и такого как, как они обращаются с автомобилями посетителей. В случае если сервис чист, аккуратен и отлично оборудован, это может болтать о профессионализме.

    7. Задавайте Вопросы https://forum-nine.mirbb.com/t9512-topic#27180

    Не смущяйтесь задавать вопросы. Обсудите с механиками не столько текущие препядствия вашего автомашины, да и попросите совета по постоянному обслуживанию. Мастера обязаны быть готовы поделиться своим опытом и знаниями.

    8. Гарантии на Работы

    Уточните, дает ли автосервис гарантии на собственную работу. Такое может быть показателем их убежденности в виде предоставляемых услуг. Залог также выделяет вам вспомогательный уровень защиты тогда, в случае если что-нибудь пойдет не так.

    9. не упустите из своего поля зрения Обслуживание Клиентов

    Как обращаются с клиентами? Оцените, насколько внимательны и миролюбивы работники. Удобство в разговоре и ясность в пояснениях могут сделать ваш навык в автосервисе более приятным.

    10. Интернет-Присутствие

    Исследуйте интернет-присутствие автосервиса. Наличие инфы на сайте, присутствие контактов и доскональных описаний услуг могут свидетельствовать о профессионализме и заботе о посетителях.

    Выбор автосервиса быть может вызовом, хотя, следуя этим простым шагам, вы сможете устроить обоснованный выбор, кот-ый обеспечит вашему автомобилю надежное сервис. Не страшитесь задавать вопросы и верить своей интуиции. в конечном счете, верный автосервис — это источник к беззаветному наслаждению от вождения вашего автомашины
