Pastor Joe Thorn's battle with anxiety caused many a sleepless night. But when he studied the incomparable character of God, he found true refreshment like never before.
This video jam titled "Where is your fruit" comes from a sermon preached by Dr. Vincent G. Artese titled "The Good Fruits of Repentance".
One sin that impacts all of mankind is the sin of religion. John the Baptist uses “brood of vipers” to describe those who are driven by religious zeal. The world today still suffers from hypocritical religion. There are those who boast in Orthodoxy, like the Pharisees, and those who boast in higher criticism, like the Sadducees. All of them make an outward show of religion but do not repent. All must repent! God is no respecter of persons; one must bear fruits worthy of repentance! Repentance is the first condition in order to be prepared for Heaven. There must be a change. Un-repented sin will lead people to hell. Fruitfulness and faithfulness are the only true signs of change. The religious person who claims to listen to a religion that goes against God is mistaken and bound for hell. Christ did not come to destroy the law, but to fulfill the law. Sometimes religious people listen to demonic spirits that even drive the to kill others in the name of their religion. Religion often produces pride, which leads one to look down upon others. Each born again Christian has received the Pearl of Great Price. How precious is that Pearl to you? What fruit are you bringing forward? Who have you led to Christ? Do you bear fruit? For more information about this sermon or our ministries, please visit: www.pilgrimspathway.org
The world now stands at the brink of nuclear catastrophe. With London's global banking and financial empire in full collapse we may expect certain dark powers to launch global war. But what does the present strategic situation have to do with an ancient flood? The Deluge stands as a portent of things to come, even as Jesus said when he stated that his coming, or presence, would be just as the days of Noah.
When troubles come, there's nothing on this earth that can be a shelter like my God. Mountains may fall, the earth may shake, but He never fails! So good - Psalm 46.
Paul encourages the Church to be imitators of God. The Church cannot let the standards of the world pull a veil over their eyes. Sin lies all around, the Church must turn away from it. Enthusiasm for created things cannot replace love for God. Awake! No longer live in ignorance! Do not covet the things that will perish. The sanctified life is not bland, when one lives for the glory of God with enthusiasm they will be blessed. Christians must walk in the light, not darkness. The Christian can either become an imitator of God or they will long after the world and Egypt. If one tries to live between the two with half-hearted ways they will fall into pessimism and laziness. Christ was enthusiastic to live out the will of God. There is nothing wrong with being passionate and having emotions, but one must not be entangled with the sinful things of the world. Bring every thought into obedience to Christ! Emotion is not evil. The Holy Spirit energizes emotions for God. The Christian must have emotion about the things of God. If not one will be only focused on learning and intellect. They will hear God’s Word read and preached but will do nothing about it unless their emotions are engaged. But all must be aware of hyper-emotionalism as well. We cannot desire attention to be drawn to us. The emotional life must be kept in check. Christ never put Himself first.
