Something that I got in my heart to share this morning was this and that is the people you keep on your phone is leading you to Christ or further away from Christ and does it lead you to reach people for Jesus or lead you away from that. We have been looking at how to reach people for Jesus on our cell phones and today's message will be two-fold. the first will be about who we keep that keeps us from Jesus and then tomorrow we will look at the second fold will be about the people we keep keeping us from reaching people. The first goes with the second, if we are keeping people who are not leading us to Christ then how will we go and reach people on our cell phones. Do not be deceived: “Bad company corrupts good morals. 1 Corinthians 15:33.
There are people who will lead you away from Christ, cut them out, cut them off, defriend them, or kick them out, whatever you want to call it, do it now. But it's my uncle, my cousin, it's my girlfriend, my best friend. And if your right hand is causing you to sin, cut it off and throw it away from you; for it is better for you to lose one of the parts of your body, than for your whole body to go into hell. Matthew 5:30. No matter who it is to you in your life there are people who you will need to cut out of your life. If we take the verse and use it as an example, the right hand being someone who is leading you away from Christ, what does it say to do, keep it and go on or leave it to the side, no it says cut it off and throw it away from you? Do you want to go to hell for having one person in your life that leads you away from Christ? I know for myself I do not want that, and I have learned that the hard way. This can mean people in your contacts, Facebook, Instagram, or any other app that has people on it.
But family is family, and my love is my love. I am here to say that is better to cut those people who lead you away from Christ, even the love of your life than being led to the fiery pit of hell. God should be front and center in our lives and if people are leading away from that, we should cut them off. And if your foot is causing you to sin, cut it off; it is better for you to enter life without a foot, than, having your two feet, to be thrown into hell. Mark 9:45. You can use the same example here as well. This so important to get this because people will try to keep us from the Love of God, and many will be led astray because of those people. the bible talks about false profits and people who will ed us astray and we should not follow them. My people have become lost sheep; Their shepherds have led them astray. They have made them turn aside on the mountains. They have gone from mountain to hill, They have forgotten their resting place. Jeremiah 50:6.
What about the people I cannot cut off like a coworker or coworkers, or parents? I sit before you and tell you that not one person is worth going to hell for. if it's a coworker or coworkers change jobs right this minute, I need money, God will bless you by doing this act. If its parents cut them out. Let no one lead you astray. For this world will try and lead you astray but keep your eyes on Jesus and we will lead you down the path of righteousness.
So to end for today, see if there are people you need to cut out of your life, and in terms of this series your cell phone and all that is on it.
