One Step
Back in Sept or Oct, I discovered a famous talk show host had advised women to get into porn to enhance their sex lives. I found the info on the talk show host's website, even watched a clip of a woman saying I prefer to call it erotica, not porn. I thought well porn is porn is porn is porn. So American, put a nice spin on it and justify sin. I rarely watched the show because it airs while I am at work, but I know I will never watch it again unless she repents and renounces that sort of thing.
I looked at the website again this week, I was appalled at the new age (new age is anything but new, it's been around since the Pharoahs, Moses, and Babylon) junk on the site. Some of the new age material was just 1 step away from what the Bible says and some said things about a dead savior is not a savior...well 1st of all our Savior is anything but dead, He is alive, He died but He was raised from the dead by the hand of Almighty God...anyway...I am getting away from my point...ha ha ha, you are thinking what is your point...my point is: If we do not know what the Bible says how would we know we are 1 step off God's path. One step can be a big deal, you miss one step, you might fall down an escalator. (Not that this has happened to me..ha ha ha) You miss one step, you might fall down the side of a mountain. You miss one step, you might fall off the boat into the water. One step can be a very big deal.
John 10 says:
"I tell you the truth, the man who does not enter the sheep pen by the gate, but climbs in by some other way, is a thief and a robber. The man who enters by the gate is the shepherd of his sheep. The watchman opens the gate for him, and the sheep listen to his voice. He calls his own sheep by name and leads them out. When he has brought out all his own, he goes on ahead of them, and his sheep follow him because they know his voice. But they will never follow a stranger; in fact, they will run away from him because they do not recognize a stranger's voice." Jesus used this figure of speech, but they did not understand what he was telling them.
We must know His voice...we must read His Word to know His voice...know the Shepherd's voice, He loves you....
