1 Corinthians 12:2 You know that when you were pagans, somehow or other you were influenced and led astray to mute idols.

How much does religion drive what you do? How much do you do because the church authorities or priest says you should do? How much do you do because Christ says so?

We do tend to get lost in our religious and authoritarian ways, following blindly instead of actually seeking what Christ says – because we trust people in charge.

But when people start to say you should be doing things which you know God does not agree with, STOP! Don’t go there.

Follow Christ and not mankind.

Ephesians 4:14 Then we will no longer be infants, tossed back and forth by the waves, and blown here and there by every wind of teaching and by the cunning and craftiness of people in their deceitful scheming.

Christ wants each of us to be more mature Christians; this does not mean He wants us to be older!

If we want to be more mature Christians, then we need to grow in Christ – and that means getting to know Him better through having Him constantly in your life.

I know we all have our weak points and we all walk away from things from time to time, but Christ wants us to be close to Him always so He can guide us in everything we do!

Hebrews 10:28 Anyone who rejected the law of Moses died without mercy on the testimony of two or three witnesses.

In Moses’ time, the witness of two or three people was enough to put someone to death.

How many people know about the things we have done wrong in our lives? How many witnesses could be against us!

God wants us to live by His rules as an example for others, when we give in to sin and temptations, many around us will see the example and know the repercussions!

We do affect many more people than we realise when we go against God’s will and His Word!

Exodus 10:16 Pharaoh quickly summoned Moses and Aaron and said, “I have sinned against the Lord your God and against you.

How many times do you say something just to get yourself out of a situation? I know I have done so far too many times!

Pharaoh continued to try and appease the God of Moses just to keep his people happy and stay in power; on more than one occasion!

God can see through the things we say and do – so let us step forward and try telling the truth, try doing what is righteous!
