As a new Preacher, people have asked me so many things, and the only way I know to answer them is to look to the Bible. One member of the Church asked me if it was ok (not a sin) for him to drink beer, he told me it would be wrong (a sin for me) to drink beer. One said since he is a sinner saved by grace it was ok to go out with other women (he is a married man) so I try to read 1 corinthians Ch. 6 vs 9-11 to him. [9] Know ye not that the unrighteous shall not inherit the kingdom of God? Be not deceived: neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor abusers of themselves with mankind,
[10] Nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners, shall inherit the kingdom of God.
[11] And such were some of you: but ye are washed, but ye are sanctified, but ye are justified in the name of the Lord Jesus, and by the Spirit of our God.
Do any of you preachers have any advice for me? Or am I wrong in telling them (the members) that God is not pleased with his children (christains) when they live a sinful life. Most of them (the ones wanting to do sinful things) tell me they are not perfect. Then I try to tell them about what Jesus said in Matthew 7 13-14 [13] Enter ye in at the strait gate: for wide is the gate, and broad is the way, that leadeth to destruction, and many there be which go in thereat:
[14] Because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it.
And again in Luke Ch. 13 v 24] Strive to enter in at the strait gate: for many, I say unto you, will seek to enter in, and shall not be able.
What about Matthew 7: 21-27
[21] Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven.
[22] Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works?
[23] And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity.
[24] Therefore whosoever heareth these sayings of mine, and doeth them, I will liken him unto a wise man, which built his house upon a rock:
[25] And the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat upon that house; and it fell not: for it was founded upon a rock.
[26] And every one that heareth these sayings of mine, and doeth them not, shall be likened unto a foolish man, which built his house upon the sand:
[27] And the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat upon that house; and it fell: and great was the fall of it.
I know the only way to be saved is by believing in Jesus Christ(John 10:[9] I am the door: by me if any man enter in, he shall be saved, and shall go in and out, and find pasture. I know this has been long, but I had to ask. Thanks and God bless you all.
