AND IN VAIN THEY WORSHIP ME, TEACHING AS DOCTRINES…THE COMMANDMENTS OF MEN.
                                                                                                                                                                    MATTHEW 15:9.

DESIGN YOUR OWN WAY TO HEAVEN!

The designer doctrine verses the doctrine of the LORD JESUS CHRIST sounds a little ridiculous but the facts are that there are millions on the earth who choose to believe in the teachings of men rather than the doctrine of our precious LORD JESUS.
                                                                                                                                                        John 7:17.

The doctrine of CHRIST JESUS can be rightfully summed up in one line. All that CHRIST says in His teaching tells us one thing…we are not able to keep our lives in this life and also have eternal life.

HE WHO FINDS HIS LIFE WILL LOSE IT AND HE WHO LOSES HIS LIFE FOR MY SAKE WILL FIND IT…HE WHO LOVES FATHER OR MOTHER MORE THAN ME IS NOT WORTHY OF ME.
                                                                                            MATTHEW 10:37,39.

These are the words of JESUS and therefore the doctrine or teachings we hear in our church structures of the great MESSIAH/JESUS. Are these the teachings today? Or have we somehow designed for ourselves and the seekers of heaven another way?
                                                                                                                                                                 Luke 14:33.

We often hear of people getting the best of both worlds, they say they follow JESUS and still pursue, partake, participate and entangle themselves in the affairs of this life, is this giving up your life, ambitions and sanctifying GOD in your heart? Without GOD sanctified in our hearts, there can be no true witness for CHRIST to this dark world.
                                                            1 Peter 3:15.

To sanctify GOD in our hearts is to allow Him to rule and rein in our lives as a king would his kingdom or a Lord his manor or master his servants.

The designer doctrines we have spreading like cancer through the churches of the world today dare not ask what JESUS has commanded lest their attendances fall as Satan did from Heaven.
                                                        Luke 14:33.

The designer doctrine is made to suit your every need, you shall never feel uncomfortable again.

The designer doctrine has all the key phrases…praise the LORD!…Hallelujah!…Think positive!…Think big!…Don’t judge!…GOD is love!…I’m saved by grace! And the lip service goes on.

But the one thing is missing all the time, the one thing that few ever end up doing…the one thing that JESUS said we must do if we want eternal life…give up this life! This is a hard saying for many in the world today.

AND HE DIED FOR ALL THAT THOSE WHO LIVE SHOULD LIVE NO LONGER FOR THEMSELVES…BUT FOR HIM…WHO DIED FOR THEM AND ROSE AGAIN.
                                                                 2 CORINTHIANS 5:15.

I AM THE RESURRECTION AND THE LIFE HE WHO BELIEVES IN ME…THOUGH HE MAY DIE…HE SHALL LIVE!
                                                                                                                                                                                                    JOHN 11:25.

The designer doctrine of 2001 may feel good, look good, taste good, sound good, appear good and even find world acceptance but it will never deliver, satisfy or save the soul of one of it’s followers. Death comes at the most unexpected time and so will JESUS, let us make up our minds today to live for CHRIST and live forever in Heaven. AMEN.

WHAT IF YOU GAINED ALL THE MONEY, GOLD, GLORY, FAME, ACCEPTANCE, CLOTHES, POSSESSIONS, LANDS AND KNOWLEDGE AND POWER IN THE WORLD BUT LOST YOUR SOUL TO THE DEVIL/SATAN?…WHAT WOULD YOU HAVE?…NOTHING THIS PREACHER VALUES BUT SOMETHING MOST PEOPLE LIVE FOR…THIS WORLD AND IT’S TREASURE…SELAH!
