WHKW Broadcast 12 – It Shall Not be So Among You

Introduction:

      Welcome to the Bible Stands with Pastor Allan McCracken. This program is brought to you by Liberty Bible Church, in Vienna, Ohio. We are an independent bible believing church that stands solely on the Word of God.
	
	 Today, Pastor Allan is bringing us a message about Christian conduct in today’s word, titled, “It Shall Not be So Among You”. To begin, please open your bible to the Gospel of Matthew, chapter 20. As we all know, the conduct of society is generally in contradiction to the Word of God. Unfortunately, there are too many Christians behaving in the same way. The Bible says that we are to be set apart from the world in all that we say, think, & do & not be conformed to it. So please stay tuned as Pastor Allan teaches us how to be separated from the world.

Concluding remarks: 
      
      These are just some of the ways that we as Christians can learn how to live apart from the world, as a testimony to God. Don’t forget that you can download this message & others online at our website. Just go to www.thebiblestands.net & look for the message titled, “It Shall Not be So Among You”. 
      
      Today’s message was an attempt to get us to understand that to be a Christian means to be set apart from this world. If we belong to Christ, then we must act like we belong to Him. It shall not be so among you. How are you measuring up, folks? If you were to go on trial for being a Christian, would there be enough evidence to convict you? Are you set apart from those around you, or are you doing whatever it takes to fit in with those around you? If you are realizing that your witness is not very strong & that you are living for yourself, then why not turn to the Lord? 
      
      You see, the bible teaches us that we are new creatures in Christ, & if you’re not sure if you are a child of God, then just ask him to come into your heart & save you. This way you can fully know 100% of your relationship to Christ. 

      If you’re not sure how to pray, then feel free to pray along with me…Dear God, I am a sinner & I need forgiveness. I believe that Jesus Christ shed His blood & died for my sin. I am willing to turn from my rebellious ways. I now invite Christ to come into my heart to become my own personal Lord & Savior. In Jesus’ name I pray, Amen.

      If you have just said this prayer, then God forgave your sins & will take you to Heaven when you die. You see, the bible says that whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved, and if you meant this with all of your heart, then you too will now have eternal life.
