Christian Living

Do not believe every spirit but test the spirits and we shall know them by their fruits. 1 John 4. Paul told have nothing to do with the fruitless deeds of darkness but rather expose them. For it is shameful even to mention what the disobedient do in secret. Ephesians 5:11,12. Those who sin should be rebuked publicly so that others may take warning. 1 Timothy 5:20. If our motives are selfish ambition and envy we have dealt with contempt the whole ministry. If our root is love of money all our fruits are evil. Some people eager for money have wandered from the faith and pierced themselves with many griefs. 1 Timothy 6:10.

Apostle Paul used these words to explain false teachers and love of money (I Tim. 6:4-10). They are – Conceited - Understands nothing - Unhealthy interest - Corrupted and Robbed of the truth regarding false teachers. And - Tempted - Trapped - Ruined - Destroyed - Fooled - Harmed - Plunged - Wandered from the faith - Pierced and Grieved regarding love of money. 

People who want to get rich fall into temptation and a trap and into many foolish and harmful desires that plunge men into ruin and destruction. I Timothy 6:9. Money is not evil but love of money is evil. For God’s treasure is not money but people and he will equip people to build his treasures. - Bill Hybels. Senior Pastor Willow Creek Church. Believers are documents. Cross-bearing results in fruit-bearing. Acronym for CROSS is - Condemned but he did not worthy it. - Rejected of his own people. - Opposed or Oppressed. - Spat Upon and Stripped and Stricken. Seedless churches never produce new church. Faith is fruit in Galatians 5:22. Seedless grapes are very tasty but there is no seed they never produce another Church resembles mother church not produces daughter churches.
