Do you know what impresses God. . .what makes a difference with Him?

Romans 2:13 in the Message Bible says:

“Merely hearing God's law is a waste of your time if you don't do what he commands. Doing, not hearing, is what makes the difference with God.”

God is impressed by what you do. . .not what you intend to do.

Do you want God’s approval?

In our pressurized lifestyle. . .too many believers are seeking the easy way out by  buying into the world system.

In short, they’re doing what everybody else is doing. . .or at least. . .most everybody else. . .but now an ever increasing number of believers are tapping into the wisdom of the ages found in God’s Word.

Unfortunately, way too many believers follow the “wisdom” of the world when it comes to their personal finances as opposed to following the instructions found in the Word of God and the leading of the Holy Spirit.

People. . .even born-again, Holy Spirit filled, church-going believers. . .tend to value the advice of their banker and financial planner more than they do their man or woman of God.

The Bible is not a book of exceptions, exemptions and excused behavior.  It is a book of absolutes.

The Bible says what it means and it means for you to obey without hesitation.
