What You Accept Becomes A Part Of Your Life

Proverbs 4:23, “Keep thy heart with all diligence; for out of it are the issues of life.” 1st Thessalonians 5:22, “Abstain from all appearance of evil.” Proverbs 1:10, “My son, if sinners entice thee, consent thou not.”

I was driving today to go walking in the park. On the way I read a gas station sign which said: “What you accept becomes a part of your life.” I couldn't agree more. That is what the Apostle Paul meant in 1st Corinthians 5:6, “Your glorying is not good. Know ye not that a little leaven leaveneth the whole lump?” There was a man and woman in the church at Corinth, who were shacking up together in fornication. Even worse, at an earlier time, the woman was once married to the man's father. Paul said that this type of wickedness was not even heard of among the heathens (1st Corinthians 5:1-5). 

Of course, in the United States today we hear about this type of wickedness all the time in the news, among Christians and heathens alike. Paul said that the church and its elders had failed to address the issue of sin. By doing so, they had accepted the premise that fornication is okay, thus setting an example for others to sin as well. 1st Timothy 5:20, “Them that sin rebuke before all, that others also may fear.” We must never accept the sin with the sinner, nor reject the sinner with the sin. There must be a balance between God's unconditional love for a person, and Biblically dealing with open sin in a local church. 

This also applies to our personal lives as well. No married woman ought to ever allow anyone to slander her husband. Many Christian women in America have been infected with the evils of feminist thinking, and they don't even realize it. You don't have to knowingly embrace the ungodly ideologies of feminism to be one! Feminism is rebellion, which the Bible equates with the sin of witchcraft (1st Samuel 15:23). God created men and women differently. God instituted that a man be in charge of a marriage, and the family, and the church. 

Therefore, women preachers is a sin. Women demanding equality of authority in a marriage, home or a church is a sin. This has nothing to do with equal treatment concerning human rights. Everyone has a God-given right to be treated humanely. Feminists claim that denying women the right to be equal in governing the marriage, home and church is oppression. They are fools! Women are to keep silent in church matters (1st Corinthians 14:34). I have never found even one church with a woman pastor, which was not corrupted doctrinally. What you accept becomes a part of your life.

Sarah called her husband Abraham “lord” (master). 1st Peter 3:6, “Even as Sara obeyed Abraham, calling him lord: whose daughters ye are, as long as ye do well, and are not afraid with any amazement.” I dare say that less than .001% of women have the godly attitude of Sarah. That is 1 in a 1,000 women! American women are angry, rebellious and empowered by the courts! Christianity has always been a personal decision, and so also is living the Christian life. Each and every woman must decide if she is going to follow the destructive attitudes of our ungodly American culture today, or choose to be as narrow-minded as the King James Bible to build a godly and happy Christian family. Good Christian homes don't just happen by random, they are build over time! What you accept becomes a part of your life.

A woman will at times here other women criticize her husband. That is what wicked women do! They are divorced, single, miserable and disillusioned about life, and they want to ruin your life too (even though that may not be their conscious intention). They sincerely may think that they are helping you out of a bad situation. Ladies, if you have a weak marriage, other people will influence you to destroy your own marriage! Remember, no one can file for divorce except YOU! It must be your signature that empowers your attorney to start the evil machine of divorce in motion. In the end, you will have NO ONE to blame except yourself. And God will hold YOU fully responsible for divorcing your spouse. Divorce is always a sin! I get people asking hypothetical questions from time to time. Jesus plainly said that only by the HARDNESS of someone's heart does a divorce happen (Matthew 19:8). Proverbs 13:10, “Only by pride cometh contention: but with the well advised is wisdom.”

A lot of people have either been in, or known someone, who was in a bad marriage. So they become biased, angry, resentful and determined to hurt other people whom they perceive as “abusive.” So, it is not uncommon for mere acquaintances of a wife, who have never even met her husband, to do all that is in their power to convince an emotionally struggling wife to quit her marriage. That is why women file for divorce more than twice the rate of men in America! I hear many women years later, blaming their decision to file for divorce on bad advice. God will not accept that lame excuse ladies!

If you ask people why they do the things they do in life, they will give you sensible sounding reasons which seem logical to explain their decisions. We like to believe that we exercise sound judgment, especially in the important decisions of our lives. 

However, I think that this is rarely true. I think that standard operating procedure for human decision making is to do what feels right to you at the time, and then to give logical sounding justifications for what you were already going to do anyway, whether you had justifications or not.

So, if you are pregnant, and want to get an abortion, you will be able to give any number of reasonable sounding explanations why this is the right decision. You're not ready to be a parent, or you need to finish your education or get to a better point in your career, or you don't have enough money, et cetera. 

If instead you want to keep the baby, you will explain how (even though you will have some extra difficulties due to the lack of money or whatever) you will certainly be up to the challenge to make your life work with the baby, how being a parent will be good for you, what a great parent you'll make, how it will bring you and the father closer together, and so on. 

In either case, none of these will be the real reason for your decision. The real reason for your decision will always be, “I did it because I wanted to do it.”

The preceding illustration is one of the most truthful things I have ever read. Ultimately, we all do what WE WANT TO DO, and then we look for people and excuses to justify our decisions, whether right or wrong. Proverbs 24:12, “If thou sayest, Behold, we knew it not; doth not he that pondereth the heart consider it? and he that keepeth thy soul, doth not he know it? and shall not he render to every man according to his works?”

Anything can be justified. The top justice agency in the United States is the U.S. Justice Department. Yet, they are one of the most ungodly, incompetent and complicit organizations in history toward crime! The U.S. Justice Department commonly says that they cannot prosecute crime because it is a matter of national security. That was their wicked excuse for not prosecuting the criminals behind the 911 bombings, the HSBC drug-laundering banking scandal, the Oklahoma City Bombing and the Mena, Arkansas drug empire! There is no justice!!! I thank God for Ecclesiastes 5:8, “If thou seest the oppression of the poor, and violent perverting of judgment and justice in a province, marvel not at the matter: for he that is higher than the highest regardeth; and there be higher than they.” NO ONE can escape God's wrath and judgment!!!

I could have mentioned a hundred different things in this brief article. What you accept dear reader becomes a part of your life! A wife who allows other people to criticize her husband without rebuking them for it, has formed a wicked bond with that person. An agency like the U.S. Justice Department, who turns a blind eye to crime, has become accomplices with those criminals, sharing the blood on their hands. Pastors and churches today, who accept the Devil's corrupt modern Bible revisions, have become a part of the Devil's New World Order! 

Those ungodly pastors and Bible colleges (such as Bob Jones University) who bid Godspeed to heretics like Pastor John MacArthur, have become partaker of their evil deeds. 2nd John 1:11, “For he that biddeth him God speed is partaker of his evil deeds.” Mr. MacArthur is a devour 5-point Calvinist, who preaches another gospel of Lordship Salvation. That is not the free grace Gospel simplicity that is in Jesus Christ (2nd Corinthians 11:3-4; Galatians 1:6-9. There are many people rotting in prison, who didn't personally commit any crimes, but they were convicted for simply being in the same car with someone who did! Be careful who you choose as friends! Be careful who you decide to get into a car with.

Proverbs 4:23, “Keep thy heart with all diligence; for out of it are the issues of life.” 1st Thessalonians 5:22, “Abstain from all appearance of evil.” Proverbs 1:10, “My son, if sinners entice thee, consent thou not.” Those are some excellent Bible passages, worthy of memorizing. We have to always be ON GUARD as Christians. That is exactly what the Bibles teaches in 1st Peter 5:8, “Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour:” What you accept becomes a part of your life. So, we must be very careful of what philosophies, people, things, doctrines, movies, music, habits and even Bibles, that we allow into our life.
