Just a few dumb dumb awards...

I find it sad how often we find Christians in the news lately, doing things that seem to not glorify God, but their flesh. It reminds me of the scripture of Proverbs 10:9 when it says; The man of integrity walks securely, but he who takes crooked paths will be found out. I have to wonder, do these Christians have good accountability partners in their lives, strong mentors who imitate Christ much more then them? We should always be praying for the leaders within God's church. Strength to press into Christ and not this world. I guess everyone is entitled to a bad day, wouldn't you say?

Either way here are your dumb dumb awards....

Bro,

Not everyone that says they are Christian is a Christian.

Matthew 7:21-23
21"Not everyone who says to Me, 'Lord, Lord,' will enter the kingdom of heaven, but he who does the will of My Father who is in heaven will enter.

22"Many will say to Me on that day, 'Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in Your name, and in Your name cast out demons, and in Your name perform many miracles?'

23"And then I will declare to them, 'I never knew you; DEPART FROM ME, YOU WHO PRACTICE LAWLESSNESS.'

2 Cor. 5:17 gives the best picture of a Christian.

Therefore if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creature; the old things passed away; behold, new things have come.
