Paying to live


 Deuteronomy 13:6-10 If your very own brother, or your son or daughter, or the wife you love, or your closest friend secretly entices you, saying, “Let us go and worship other gods” (gods that neither you nor your ancestors have known, gods of the peoples around you, whether near or far, from one end of the land to the other), do not yield to them or listen to them. Show them no pity. Do not spare them or shield them. You must certainly put them to death. Your hand must be the first in putting them to death, and then the hands of all the people. Stone them to death, because they tried to turn you away from the Lord your God, who brought you out of Egypt, out of the land of slavery.

Well, maybe one of the texts more difficult to teach, too
 little heard in our preaching. I must say that I do not remember a sermon on this text, but lets to think and talk a little about him.
If the one I love urges me to go against the Lord, shall I kill him! Wow
Think about the kind of gospel that is preached and lived today. The staff gets a cell phone and no longer comes in the church. Not counting the 'eternal love' sworn for many teenager, (encouraged by the Facebook) that endures 'forever' 15 days! 15days where sin reigns in this 'eternal love' and the target of 15 days is only one of those involved to turn away from God! Even more idolatry very familiar sight in our own culture where parents are responsible for taking or prevent their going to church and also the presence of God.
Now is my turn,  as a leader I say, do not listen to this music, do not access that kind of thing on the Internet, do not walk with that kind of people they can take you to sin, only saying these things makes people ugly face and scandalized, imagine saying "kill your father!"
What is this gospel that we are living? Surely God will not tell you now kill your father for not letting you go to church nor your brother made ​​you feel so bad about being a believer.What I am emphasizing the gospel in this paper is cheap, relative, loose and easy to live today, so easy that is not leading people to salvation, as far as I know, be strong (Luke13:24) and narrow (Matthew 7:13) are linked to salvation!
Think
Review your concepts
And should turn again!
Be safe.
Jesus loves you
