The Reason for the Season. . .


Commonly, this phrase: the reason for the season is used at Christmas time. Today it's not Christmas.
The season is the time that we live in .II Timothy 3:1 thru 5: This know also, that in the last days perilous time shall come. For men shall be lovers of their own selves, covetous, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy, without natural affection, truce breakers, false accusers, incontinent, fierce, despisers of those that are good, traitors, heady high minded, lovers of pleasures more than lovers of God. Having a form of Godliness, but denying the power thereof: from such turn away.
This, unfortunately is the major cause of divorce, especially in the church. Hard to believe? Never! Statics have shown that the divorce rate is actually higher in the "church world". Our marriages have suffered great loses because we fail to take heed to the instruction that comes from above. It is God's plan, not man's.
The above caption from the book of Timothy outlines a mind set. That's right, it is the thought process that has entered into our hearts that defuses our marriages;. "as a man thinkest in his heart, so is he". . .Proverbs 23:7.
Religion won't help you, moral thinking won't help you, self help books won't help you, and even money won't change you.! It is the Heart that must be changed., and only God can change a man's heart.
You see, there are only two choices here: your way or God's way. There is no middle ground. Cut a tree at the bark, and it will grow again. Kill the root of the tree and it will never grow again. You see my point?
Today's message is: Beloved I wish above all that thou mayest prosper, be in health, even as thy soul prospereth. . .III John: 1:2. God's Holy Word. His Word is the only real reason for the season!
Today is your day to say "yes" to the Lord. . . . I promise, everything will change. Remember, your marriage can't change, until you change.
You are Blessed!
