Disguises

(Isaiah 30:1 KJV)
Woe to the rebellious children, saith the LORD, that take counsel, but not of me; and that cover with a covering, but not of my spirit, that they may add sin to sin:

As God's chosen people moved in the wilderness, God supplied a fire by night and a cloud covering by day. His protection. never left them.

In this Halloween time, folks are putting on a covering to become something different. It disguises and conceals their identity. The Word says we cover with a covering, but not of His spirit.

As we endeavor to become more like Jesus, let's don't get caught up in the coverings of this world. As Adam and Eve made fig leaves to cover their nakedness, we are not much different today. And when we try to present our lives daily to God with a covering of disguises that conceals our identity, the scripture says we add sin to sin.

As we step into the Fall season, let us all fall in love with Jesus all over again. Cover your life with His truth and mercy every day.

The Ground Rules

Greater Faith Apostoic Church in Ironton, Ohio will now be blogging on a weekly basis. Nine ministers within the church will be submitting articles that express their thoughts, aspirations, dreams, messages, and comments concerning the church, the Bible, God, The Godhead, etc. We want this to be a forum that expresses thought. We will not tolerate biligerant attitudes. That does not exemplify Christ. We do want conversation, from among our own ministers, ministers within our organization, ministers outside our organization, church members, etc.
There will be a new article each week but that still does not keep you from responding to earlier messages. Let's spread God's Word. Let's become Aquila and Pricilla's; expounding the gospel more clearly!
