delayed posting due to internet issues
I seem stuck with my last few posts and today’s post all dealing with similar themes. The connection between “Rogue”, “Biblical Preaching & Teaching” and our devotional today can be summed up by the quotes below:
“A return to first principles in a republic is sometimes caused by the simple virtues of one man. His good example has such an influence that the good men strive to imitate him, and the wicked are ashamed to lead a life so contrary to his example.” ~ Niccolo Machiavelli
If you are a “Christian” then this premis should be second nature, built into our DNA so to speak. We are commanded in 1 Corinthians 10:31, to do all things to the Glory of God. If we are not setting the proper example, if we are not Preaching and Teaching the uncompromised Word of God, or if we are allowing Rogue influences into our lives then we are CAN NOT glorifying God.
This is what you, O LORD, have said: that you will be sanctified among those who are near you, and before all the people you will be glorified. Leviticus 10:3(ESV) I therefore worship before you, O Lord, that I may glorify your name; Psalm 86:9(ESV) and therefore I call upon you, that you may deliver me, and I may glorify you. Psalm 50:15(ESV)
For from you and through you and to you are all things. Romans 11:36(ESV)
CONTEXT
