Let no man deceive you

Little children, let no man deceive you: (1 John 3:7)
Abhor that which is evil; cleave to that which is good. (Romans 12:9)
Even though the world makes halloween seem "cute" and "harmless", the warning still remains in Scripture; Little children, let no man deceive you! We are to abhor that which is evil, no matter how "cute" the world makes it look.
Wherefore come out from among them, and be ye separate, saith the Lord, and touch not the unclean thing; and I will receive you, (2 Corinthians 6:17)
Even though the world makes halloween seem "cute" and "harmless", the warning still remains in Scripture; Little children, let no man deceive you! We are to abhor that which is evil, no matter how "cute" the world makes it look.
Which Loved Mother Best?
Posted by Lacy in A Godly Maiden on Sunday, May 10, 2009
"I love you, Mother," said little John;
Then forgetting his work, his cap went on,
And he was off to the garden swing,
Leaving his Mother the wood to bring.
"I love you, Mother," said rosy Nell;
"I love you better than tongue can tell"
Then she teased and pouted full half the day,
Till her Mother rejoiced when she went to play.
"I love you, Mother," said little Fan.
"Today I'll help you call I can;
How glad I am that school doesn't keep".
So she rocked the baby till it fell asleep.
Then stepping softly, she took the broom,
And swept the floor, and dusted the room;
Busy and happy all day was she,
Helpful and cheerful as child could be.
"I love you, Mother," again they said,
three little children going to bed;
How do you think that mother guessed
which of them really loved her best?

I thank the Lord for my dear Mom, who is an excellent example of being a godly woman to me! May all of us honor our mothers, not only on this day, but every day with our love, respect, and obedience!
"I may not have riches as some others may, but I have a Mother who knows how to pray."
Her children arise up, and call her blessed; her husband also, and he praiseth her.
Many daughters have done virtuously, but thou excellest them all.
Favour is deceitful, and beauty is vain: but a woman that feareth the LORD, she shall be praised.
~ Proverbs 31:28 – 30 ~
Dare To Do Right Poem
Dare To Do Right
Dare to be honest, good, and sincere,
Dare to do right, and you never need fear.
Dare to be brave in the cause of the right,
Dare with the enemy ever to fight.
Dare to be loving and patient each day,
Dare speak the truth, whatever you say.
Dare to be gentle, and orderly too,
Dare shun the evil, whatever you do.
Dare to be cheerful, forgiving, and mild,
Dare shun the people whom sin has defiled.
Dare to speak kindly, and ever be true,
Dare to do right, and you'll find your way through.
I was scanning through one of my books (Choice Stories for Children) and happened to notice this short little poem at the end of one of the stories.
No author is named, so I don't know who wrote it, but I thought I'd share.
Flee also youthful lusts: but follow righteousness, faith, charity, peace, with them that call on the Lord out of a pure heart. [2 Timothy 2:22]
Little children, let no man deceive you: he that doeth righteousness is righteous, even as he is righteous. [1 John 3:7]
But be ye doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving your own selves.
Will you dare to do right?
Born A Sinner?

After viewing the poll stats this morning, I was very disappointed to see how many people believed in the lie that a baby is born sinful. I was happy, of course, to see at least a few people vote against the idea. For those of you who believe all babies are born sinners, consider just for a moment all the little children you would have to believe are going to hell. Including every single little child that is aborted..
We all know that only the pure and godly shall have part in the kingdom of heaven, so if you believe babies are born sinners, then they would have to be sent to hell.
Lo, children are an heritage of the LORD: and the fruit of the womb is his reward.
As arrows are in the hand of a mighty man; so are children of the youth.
Happy is the man that hath his quiver full of them: they shall not be ashamed, but they shall speak with the enemies in the gate. [Psalms 127:3-5 KJV]
Would the Lord give us a sinful heritage and reward?? Would it even be a reward, if it was born sinful?
Jesus says:
Likewise, I say unto you, there is joy in the presence of the angels of God over one sinner that repenteth. [Luke 15:10 KJV]
So, we're supposed to be 'happy' to have our quiver full of 'sinners', but the angels are only happy when one repents? Hmmm… something doesn't add up here.
Jesus is our example that we should all strive to follow, correct? Okay.
Therefore the Lord himself shall give you a sign; Behold, a virgin shall conceive, and bear a son, and shall call his name Immanuel.
Butter and honey shall he eat, that he may know to refuse the evil, and choose the good.
For before the child shall know to refuse the evil, and choose the good, the land that thou abhorrest shall be forsaken of both her kings. [Isaiah 7:14-16 KJV]
Does this say he is born sinful, or does it say he was born not knowing to refuse the evil and choose the good? If Jesus was born in the flesh as a human, and HE was born innocent, and HE is our example, then it only makes sense that since he wasn't born sinful, he wouldn't make an innocent baby, who has done nothing, be born sinful.
Sin is a willful transgression of the law….
What I want to know is this: What did that baby do on the way out that transgressed the law?!
If you say he's born sinful, then there must be something this baby chose to do on the way out. What was it? Sin is a choice, not something you inherit.
I'm gonna use Mom's words here, but this just completely describes it:
This is anti-God, anti-Bible, anti-truth, and anti-common sense!
Now, I ask you again, and please think very carefully before you say they are born sinful… What does the Bible really say?

Are We Born Sinners? by Brother Mike Miller
And to think… I wrote all that before breakfast!!
