FBCJ SOLID Youth

Please take a listen to hear a quick reflection on Sunday's Livestream service and what the tentative plan is for this week!

In this series, we will look at how to practically walk with God each and every day. Along the way, we will have challenges to stretch our current state into a more obedient life with the Lord. We tend to complicate things in the Christian life, but God has made it something that is very easy and achievable if we are willing to listen and obey what he says about having a relationship with him... it all comes down to our heart.

In this lesson, we break into the first part of the speaking gifts... Evangelism and Teaching. It is important to see what the Bible says about these gifts and not trust in what we think we know or what we see other Christians highly esteem - "...for that which is highly esteemed among men is abomination in the sight of God." (Lk. 15:15)

This last mystery really shows how effective the mystery of iniquity is in the hand of the devil. From the moment Lucifer fell into sin the mystery of iniquity began and it manifests itself in the mystery of Babylon the Great. Only a Bible-believer will be able to see this one clearly as God detailed it in the scriptures.

This mystery has been at work from the very beginning of Lucifer's fall and will continue until he is cast into the lake of fire. He will do anything and everything he can to counter, counterfeit, and confound the work of God. Ultimately, if we are not careful, we can fall prey to the mystery of iniquity in our own lives, and when we do we immediately halt our ability to glorify God.

This lesson goes through the scriptural details of the rapture where it fits into the timeline of history. Seeing the Lord Jesus Christ face to face, whenever that may occur, should excite us, purify us, and cause us to be better stewards of our time here and now! 

God specifically states in Romans 11:25 that we are not to be ignorant of this mystery. If we choose to disregard this mystery we will find ourselves dabbling in many, many false doctrines that will warp our whole view of the Bible. We need to take the time to understand this and get it right!
