As Christ’s followers, we are not to be followers of humans,
but followers of God. We are not supposed to turn to human beings for help,
guidance, counsel and direction in place of Jesus Christ, especially while
ignoring the counsel of scripture, making humans our gods. And, we are not to
form alliances (yokes; partnerships) with this sinful world, or with the people
of this sinful world, because there is no fellowship between light and
darkness, and because God has commanded us to come out from the ways,
philosophies, teachings, culture, thinking and behaviors of this sinful world,
and to be separate, holy unto God and to his service. And, we are to put our
trust in Christ, not in our own human reasoning and understanding. In all our
ways we are to acknowledge God, and he will direct our paths.
Therefore,
brothers and sisters, we have an obligation—but it is not to the flesh, to live
according to it. For if you live according to the flesh, you will die; but if
by the Spirit you put to death the misdeeds of the body, you will live. Rom.
8:12-13
ONLY IN HIM / An
Original Work / February 19, 2014
Based off Isaiah 30
Woe to those who look to man’s help;
Who turn away from Jesus Christ;
Forming an alliance not in step with God;
Making their own plans, and praying not.
Willing not to listen to truth,
They close their ears to what is right.
Pleasing words are all that they’ll hear;
Feel good messages that bring cheer.
Trust in your Lord; turn from your sin.
Put your faith now ONLY IN HIM.
Do not turn to idols. They’ll not satisfy.
Jesus will save you. That’s why He died.
Your Lord will be gracious to you.
He cares all about you, ‘tis true.
He forgives you all of your sin
When you give your life up to Him.
Oh, how truly gracious He’ll be
When you bow to Him on your knees;
Turning now from your sin; walking in his ways.
He’ll lead and guide you all of your days.
Now you will sing praises to Him.
He delivered you from your sin.
You’ll tell others now of His grace,
So they may see Christ face-to-face.
