Endorsement

We must guard what we endorse!

To many times we are torn between who a person is and what they do.

We can love a person through and through yet we must make sure we make a clear line of separation between loving a person (as in who they are) and condoning what they do.

All life has value but not everything we do does.

The scripture says we cannot sit at the table of Christ and Belial.
2 Corinthians 6:15

Belial means worthlessness and unyoked.
When a person willingly breaks the Word of God and knows they are breaking it, they are knowingly and willingly casting off restraint.
They are saying that they do not want to be yoked with Christ.
Christ said "My yoke is easy and My burden is light"
Matthew 11:30

This in reference to His Word and Commandments.

1Jn 5:3 For this is the love of God, that we keep his commandments: and his commandments are not grievous

Grievous means burdensome, weighty, heavy as in something that will weigh us down and cause us to sink.

On the contrary obedience to the Word, unction of the Holy Spirit causes us to rise.

We are not to be involved with conduct that has no worth.

To many times we support people because they have charm, charisma, are funny, gifted, pretty, handsome but they blatantly disrespect the Word of God, the Holy Spirit, the sacrifice of Christ, and the Honor of the Father.
To many times people support someone who is willingly breaking Covenant with God to spare their feelings.
Proverbs 27:6  Faithful are the wounds of a friend; but the kisses of an enemy are deceitful.

We as the sons and daughters of God must come to a place where we lovingly let people know we love them, but we will not put our seal of approval on their conduct, actions, or words that are sin that is in direct rebellion with Holiness and Truth.

Paul says 1Ti 5:22 Lay hands suddenly on no man, neither be partaker of other men's sins: keep thyself pure.

This has to do with ordaining and commisioning people into ministry, yet we see that because of releasing a person without character, leaders become chargeable.
The person is to be representing Christ but their ways bring reproach and it falls on leaders for launching people to soon. They did not test them in faithfulness, doctrine, word, deed, holiness or fruit.

When we support and endorse that which is condemnable, we do not realize we are participators in their sin and become charged.

So, the next time we go to endorse or support a person, have we shown before the Lord that we approve what He approves and reject what He rejects?

The next time that friend of ours who says they are saved goes ahead against the Word, we need to love them but admonish them that what they are doing is not the Lord.

We must make sure we are not involved with looking like we approve of wrong doing.

2 Timothy 2: 2  And the things that thou hast heard of me among many witnesses, the same commit thou to faithful men, who shall be able to teach others also.

In His Love,
Apostle Jesse
