Clingers or Kissers

"Then they lifted up their voices and wept again. And Orpah kissed her mother-in-law, but Ruth clung to her." Ruth 1:14

go back and read through the 1st chapter of Ruth until verse 18 so you will understand and know the whole story.

This story can be looked on as just another Bible story or it can be more. If we would just dig in the Word of God, we would understand so much more than we do now. There are two kinds of people in this world actually three, but i'm going to just talk about two of them... There's the kissers and the clingers... Now there's not a lot of space on here to write a whole lot, but i'll try my best, to explain and hopefully teach someone, something, and also...everything i say here is not because i hate people who are lukewarm Christians, but i say what i say because i love you and don't want you to make the biggest mistake of your life... Now back to the message, kissers are people who say they're a Christian and they'll go to church and say they love Jesus, but yet their life doesn't show it and when Christ calls them, they will walk away from Him. They will live how they want to live and just put Jesus in their back pocket until they need Him. WHICH IS JUST PLAIN RIDICULOUS! We should depend on Christ like He is our breath... Do you know why? Because He is our breath! God is the one who keeps us alive and yet we don't even acknowledge that He's there! We just live out our own life... which will lead us down the path of destruction......Now! to the clingers, clingers are people who cling on to Jesus and will not! let Him go! Because they understand and acknowledge that He is everything... When the kissers and everyone else turns their back on Christ... and then Christ turns to me and says are you going to leave as well? Do you know what my answer will be? The same one that Peter (Jesus' Disciple) answered "Where am I to go" ... There is no where else for me to go, but to Jesus. So which one are you? the kisser who says they believe and yet when Jesus calls them to serve, they turn there back on Him... or a clinger, who clings to Jesus and recognizes that Christ is everything to them and continues to persevere and to keep their faith in Christ Jesus! I suggest that you think about it. Because if you are a kisser, most likely you are lost, and that's the worst place to be in...this world is not worth losing your soul!

To God be the Glory!

Let Love be Sincere

"Let love be genuine. Abhor what is evil; hold fast to what is good. Love one another with brotherly affection. Outdo one another in showing honor. Do not be slothful in zeal, be fervent in spirit, serve the Lord. Rejoice in hope, be patient in tribulation, be constant in prayer. Contribute to the needs of the saints and seek to show hospitality." Romans 12:9-13


Love Must Be Sincere! You can not love people the way Christ loved them, if your love is not...sincere. The best way to love like Christ is to be selfless. That's what true love is all about. It's about putting your needs off to the side and caring and taking interest into the needs of others around you. It means to worry about what needs to be done for that person or this person, to be able to help them out in their life and not expecting or wanting anything in return. It means to place your life down for your friends without hesitation because you love them. Which sadly the world doesn't love this way and sometimes it's so frustrating to see what love the world does see as good genuine love and expects us to love like it. NEVER! The world's love is not Christ's love! it is not based on putting others first or allowing your love to have sincerity, the worlds love is ALL ABOUT SELF! It's about what can I get out of this relationship or what can I get out of this friendship or what can I get out of this certain situation in life! IT'S A BUNCH OF NONSENSE! How can love be for self? IT CAN'T! do you know why? We point at a great relationship and say that's true love, but guess what my friends... it's not! Because God points to His murdered Son on the Cross and says this is true love. "Greater love has no one than this, that someone lay down his life for his friends." John 15:13. That my friends is true love. Our Savior Jesus Christ who took on the sin of the world has true love and yet the way the world repays Him is by lowering the value of true love! We should fall on our faces in repentance, because we have lowered God's true meaning of love. Love like Romans 12:9-21 put others before yourself. Love...Protect...and give hear to God's Word!

To God be the Glory!
