Be It Resolved to Follow Jesus in 2008
__________________________________________________________________
Volume 8   No. 01                                                                     January 2, 2008
This message was first inspired as  I listened to Minister Ben Guillermo teaching
at Kailua Church of Christ on 30 December 2007 Samuel M. Smith 

January 2, 2008 ©2008 Up Way Publications.


As we begin another New Year, let us resolve with a sincere determination that we will each do our part to see the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ return to the teachings, the Holy Spirit Anointing and Power,  the authority and  determination to obey all of the commandments of our Lord Jesus Christ in this new year.

Most of my life, I have been associated with or attended churches of nearly every recognized denominational type of organization or association of autonomous churches. Years ago, I compiled a list of ways in which I admire or am in full agreement with  one or another of the doctrines taught by each group.

On the other side, there are areas in each group that clearly do not align with scripture when you consider the context of the passage upon which the doctrine or practice is based. This is particularly noticeable when you are in a church that takes great pride in the scriptural accuracy of its doctrines. But rather than pinpoint the areas in which church organizations are saying one thing and doing another, I will try to focus only of the positive of what the Bible really does teach.

Jesus said, "Why call ye me Lord, Lord and do, not the things which I say?" (Matthew 7:21-25; Luke 6:46). I know two groups of people who take great pride in the fact that they teach and preach the same plan of Salvation that the Apostles clearly taught, and I am reminded of the pride of such kings of Israel and Judah as Amaziah of Israel  in 2 kings 14:1-6; 2 Ghronicles 25:11-13  ans then Amaziah, king of Judah (Uzziah)

Truth is not bending the facts to suit our own purposes, whether our purposes are good or bad. Truth is stating things as factually and honestly as you know it. If you do not know something, truth says to admit that you do not know, don’t try to make up something so you seem to others to know all the answers.


 please come to our Lord Jesus Christ in repentance right now. If you are already a born-again Christian, then “If we confess our sins  He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness,” (1 John 1:9). If you have never been born again, then “Repent and be baptized, every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost.” (Acts 2:38).

Followers of Jesus Christ Ministries, Up Way Publications and Apostolic Internet Seminary are an Establishment of Religion as defined in the First Amendment to the Constitution of the United States of America and therefore, since Congress shall make NO law regarding this Establishment of Religion, we are NOT tax exempt under the Internal Revenue Service code. We are not sustained by any denomination, special interest or parent organization. We accept no online or e-mail advertising. Our operations and mission are funded by -- and depend entirely upon -- the voluntary financial support of Real Bible Believing Christians like YOU!  All income is reported as taxable income to the Internal Revenue Service, although expenditures for literature, publications and shipping are always greater than the amount of donations received.

Are we Evangelical? Fundamental? Pentecostal? Apostolic? We claim all of these in the sense of maintaining total Biblical integrity of the things we teach and preach. For this reason, we use the term Bible Apostolic. We seek to be totally correct according to the Bible maintaining careful contextual and cultural understanding as well as known strengths and weaknesses of any given writer who, while inspired by the Holy Spirit, was still forced to communicate using the language, culture and known understandings of his day and place. So we are Bible in the sense that everything we say and do is intended to fully align with solid, indisbutably Bible teaching when understood as the writers and first hearers and readers of the Scriptures would have understood them. So we are Evangelical in efforts to reach the whole world with the Gospel of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. We are Fundamental in that like the Church of Christ motto, we speak where the Bible speaks and leave the rest alone. We are Pentecostal because we both see the promise as continuing as long as the Lord our God shall call mankind to Himself and we have experienced speaking in tongues and other manifestations of the Baptism of the Holy Spirit. We are Apostolic in the sense that we are urgently trying to reestablish original New Testament Apostolic teaching, preaching and life.
