BEING

1Cor. 6:9b-10, "neither
fornicators, nor idolators, nor adulterers, nor
EFFEMINATE, nor abusers of themselves with mankind, nor theives,
nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners,
shall inherit the
An effeminate is a man or woman
who advocates headship of the woman. This person is in the same condemnation as
the others listed with them, above. God's Word says that "a woman is
not to usurp authority over the man." , 1Tim.
2:12b. On the other hand, "a man is to love his wife as Christ loved
the Church and gave Himself for it". Eph. 5:25.
We see powerful evidence today,
more than ever before, that these two callings of God for His people are being
discarded. The blame for this lies in man's unbelief of God's Word. The Bible
has come into question in the world today because of the many new versions and
paraphrases, so that people come to the conclusion that 'Holy' men don't know
the truth of God; also, 'Holy' men can't seem to agree together what the Bible
SEEMS to say, so why allow it any particular respect.
Women want a female 'God'; men
want to be 'God' themselves. Meanwhile God is getting ready to call 'time'.
Those who are watching in obedience to God's perfect, unaltered Word, will be
known of Him as part of His eternal family, to whom he will not say, "I
never knew you, depart from me, ye that work iniquity." , Mt. 7:21-23.
MONDAY:
Know ye not that ye are the
Know ye not that they which run in a race run
all, but one receiveth the prize? So run, that ye may
obtain. And every man that striveth for the mastery
is temperate in all things. Now they do it to obtain a corruptible
crown; but we an incorruptible. I therefore so run, not as uncertainly; so
fight I, not as one that beateth the air: But I keep
under my body, and bring it into subjection: lest that by any means,
when I have preached to others, I myself should be a castaway. (1Co
TUESDAY:
For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ:
for it is the power of God unto salvation to every one that believeth; to the
Jew first, and also to the Greek. For therein is the righteousness of God
revealed from faith to faith: as it is written, The
just shall live by faith. For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against
all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who hold the truth in
unrighteousness; (Ro
Now the end of the
commandment is charity out of a pure heart, and of a good conscience,
and of faith unfeigned: From which some having swerved have turned aside
unto vain jangling; Desiring to be teachers of the law; understanding neither
what they say, nor whereof they affirm. But we know that the law is
good, if a man use it lawfully; Knowing this, that the law is not made for a
righteous man, but for the lawless and disobedient, for the ungodly and for
sinners, for unholy and profane, for murderers of fathers and murderers of
mothers, for manslayers, For whoremongers, for them that defile themselves with
mankind, for menstealers, for liars, for perjured
persons, and if there be any other thing that is contrary to sound doctrine;
According to the glorious gospel of the blessed God, which was committed to my
trust. (1Ti 1:5-11 AV)
WEDNESDAY:
When the Son of man shall
come in his glory, and all the holy angels with him, then shall he sit upon the
throne of his glory: And before him shall be gathered all nations: and he shall
separate them one from another, as a shepherd divideth
his sheep from the goats: And he shall set the sheep on his right hand,
but the goats on the left. Then shall the King say unto them on his right hand,
Come, ye blessed of my Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the
foundation of the world: For I was an hungred, and ye
gave me meat: I was thirsty, and ye gave me drink: I was a stranger, and ye
took me in: Naked, and ye clothed me: I was sick, and ye visited me: I was in
prison, and ye came unto me. Then shall the righteous answer him, saying, Lord,
when saw we thee an hungred,
and fed thee? or thirsty, and gave thee
drink? When saw we thee a stranger, and took thee in? or
naked, and clothed thee? Or when saw we thee sick, or in prison, and
came unto thee? And the King shall answer and say unto them, Verily I say unto
you, Inasmuch as ye have done it unto one of the least of these my
brethren, ye have done it unto me. Then shall he say also unto them on
the left hand, Depart from me, ye cursed, into everlasting fire, prepared for
the devil and his angels: For I was an hungred, and
ye gave me no meat: I was thirsty, and ye gave me no drink: I was a stranger,
and ye took me not in: naked, and ye clothed me not: sick, and in prison, and
ye visited me not. Then shall they also answer him, saying, Lord, when saw we
thee an hungred, or athirst,
or a stranger, or naked, or sick, or in prison, and did not minister unto thee?
Then shall he answer them, saying, Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as ye did it
not to one of the least of these, ye did it not to me. And these shall
go away into everlasting punishment: but the righteous into life eternal. (Mt
25:31-46 AV)
Now no chastening for the present seemeth to be joyous, but grievous: nevertheless afterward
it yieldeth the peaceable fruit of righteousness unto
them which are exercised thereby. Wherefore lift up the hands which hang down,
and the feeble knees; And make straight paths for your
feet, lest that which is lame be turned out of the way; but let it rather be
healed. Follow peace with all men, and holiness, without which no man
shall see the Lord: Looking diligently lest any man fail of the grace of God;
lest any root of bitterness springing up trouble you, and thereby many
be defiled; Lest there be any fornicator, or profane person, as Esau,
who for one morsel of meat sold his birthright. For ye know how that afterward,
when he would have inherited the blessing, he was rejected: for he found no
place of repentance, though he sought it carefully with tears. (Heb 12:11-17
AV)
THURSDAY:
And they that are Christs have crucified the
flesh with the affections and lusts. If we live in the Spirit, let us also walk
in the Spirit. Let us not be desirous of vain glory, provoking one another,
envying one another. (Ga 5:24-26 AV)
The woman shall not wear that which pertaineth unto a man, neither shall a man put on a womans
garment: for all that do so are abomination unto the LORD thy God.(De 22:5 )
FRIDAY:
For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven
against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who hold the truth in
unrighteousness;
Because that which may be known of God is manifest
in them; for God hath shewed it unto them. For
the invisible things of him from the creation of the world are clearly seen,
being understood by the things that are made, even his eternal power and
Godhead; so that they are without excuse: Because that, when they knew God,
they glorified him not as God, neither were thankful; but became vain in
their imaginations, and their foolish heart was darkened. Professing themselves
to be wise, they became fools, And changed the glory of the uncorruptible
God into an image made like to corruptible man, and to birds, and fourfooted beasts, and creeping things. Wherefore God also
gave them up to uncleanness through the lusts of their own hearts, to dishonour their own bodies between themselves: Who changed
the truth of God into a lie, and worshipped and served the creature more than
the Creator, who is blessed for ever. Amen. For this cause God gave them up
unto vile affections: for even their women did change the natural use into that
which is against nature: And likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of
the woman, burned in their lust one toward another; men with men working that
which is unseemly, and receiving in themselves that recompence
of their error which was meet. And even as they did not like to retain God in their
knowledge, God gave them over to a reprobate mind, to do those things which are
not convenient; Being filled with all unrighteousness, fornication, wickedness,
covetousness, maliciousness; full of envy, murder, debate, deceit, malignity;
whisperers, Backbiters, haters of God, despiteful, proud, boasters, inventors
of evil things, disobedient to parents, Without understanding, covenantbreakers, without natural affection, implacable,
unmerciful: Who knowing the judgment of God, that they which commit such things
are worthy of death, not only do the same, but have pleasure in them that do
them. (Ro 1:18-32 AV)
And the LORD God caused a
deep sleep to fall upon Adam, and he slept: and he took one of his ribs, and
closed up the flesh instead thereof; And the rib, which the LORD God had taken
from man, made he a woman, and brought her unto the man. And Adam said, This is now bone of my bones, and flesh of my flesh:
she shall be called Woman, because she was taken out of
SATURDAY:
Wives, submit yourselves unto your own husbands,
as it is fit in the Lord. Husbands, love your wives, and be not bitter against them. Children, obey your
parents in all things: for this is well pleasing unto the Lord. Fathers,
provoke not your children to anger, lest they be discouraged. (
Likewise, ye wives, be
in subjection to your own husbands; that, if any obey not the word, they also
may without the word be won by the conversation of the wives; While they behold
your chaste conversation coupled with fear. Whose adorning let it not be
that outward adorning of plaiting the hair, and of wearing of gold, or
of putting on of apparel; But let it be the hidden man of the heart, in
that which is not corruptible, even the ornament of a meek and quiet
spirit, which is in the sight of God of great price. For after this manner in
the old time the holy women also, who trusted in God, adorned themselves, being
in subjection unto their own husbands: 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. Likewise, ye husbands, dwell with them according to
knowledge, giving honour unto the wife, as unto the
weaker vessel, and as being heirs together of the grace of life; that your
prayers be not hindered. (1Pe 3:1-7 AV)
