WHERE DOES JESUS RANK?
by Lewis E. Thomas WHERE DOES JESUS RANK?
Where does Jesus rank up there in those thoughts within "YOUR" mind?
Is He ranked in "FIRST PLACE" or have you put him far back at the "END OF THE LINE"?
Where does God rank with you when you visit with your family and friends?
Is that "OLD RUGGED CROSS" ever mentioned, where he died to save the world from "SIN"?
When "PAY DAY" comes, do you set aside a "TITHE" of ten percent that God says belongs to Him?
Or do you rob God, keeping it all for yourself, when your budget needs to be "TRIMMED"?
Where does JESUS rank within your heart and within your "SOUL"?
The Holy Bible tells us that if he is not ranked "NUMBER ONE" that we will "NEVER" see those Heavenly Streets of Gold!
Do you rank God as "NUMBER ONE" and your "TOP PRIORITY" with each rising of the sun?
Or do your rank him "BEHIND" things like "PARTYING", HUNTING, FISHING, SPORTS, and "FUN"?
Many think that simply believing in Jesus without repentance will get them into Heaven!
Don't be deceived by some False Teacher that's preaching old Satan's "DEADLY LEAVEN"!
James Chapter 2 tells us that simply believing in Jesus is "NOT ENOUGH"!
The "TRUTH" for many is hard to "SWALLOW" because the "TRUTH" will cut away our worldly lusts, and get really tough!
James tells us that "Faith" alone, without repentance and good deeds is totally "DEAD"!
Faith is made "PERFECT" when "MIXED" with good works or actions as James has clearly said!
According to James, If I mix my Faith with GOOD DEEDS to produce "HOLY FRUIT" on my "TREE"!
Then, all who are WATCHING my life, will know that Jesus Christ is truly "LIVING IN ME"!
Where does Jesus rank...?

Will a man rob God? Yet ye have robbed me. But ye say, Wherein have we robbed thee? In tithes and offerings. Malachi 3:8
And he answering said, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy strength, and with all thy mind; and thy neighbour as thyself. Luke 10:27
