**James 1:25 - New Revised Standard Version (NRSV)**
```Dust
<25> But those who look into the perfect law, the law of liberty, and persevere, being not hearers who forget but doers who act—they will be blessed in their doing. ```
Yes, we all need to make a choice between good and evil. There will be a time you have to make a choice between Jesus Christ and all others. Jesus said "I am the way, the truth and the life. Beside me there is no other." Recognizing the difference between good and evil is important. Now you have to decide what YOU are going to do about it. The Bible, the Word of God, tells the remedy. I suggest looking at Acts 2: 38, although there several other scriptures. The Bible is Gods love letter to us, His creation. Read it prayerfully.

Acts 4: 5-12
Peters address to the Sanhedrin
5. And it came to pass on the morrow, that their rulers, elders and scribes,
6.And Annas the high priest, and Caiaphas, ad John, and Alexander, and as many as were of the kindred of the high priest, were gathered together at Jerusalem.
7. And when they had set them in the midst, they asked, By what power or by what name have ye done this?
8. Then Peter, filled with the Holy Ghost, said unto them, Ye elders of Israel and rulers of the people,
9. If this day we be examined of the good deed done to the impotent man,by what means he is made whole;
10. Be it known unto you all and to all the people of Israel, that by the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, whom ye crucified, whom God raised from the dead, even by Him doth this man stand here before you whole;
11. This is the stone that was set at naught of you builders, which is becomethe head of the corner,
12. NEITHER IS THERE SALVATION IN ANY OTHER: for there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved.
@wheredowegofromhereQ It has been said that the last seven words of a dying church are, "But we've always done it this way."
👍
@wheredowegofromhereQ Of course the Bible is not to be considered in that vein as it is the word of God and not man. What man does with it, however, is not always Gods intention.

@Prayer Warrior please pray for my family. Mother in law had heart attack overnight. Father in law (recently diagnosed with dementia dementia) staying with us temporarily. My hands are already full as my hubby is disabled and I work full time. I need strength to get through this. Would appreciate prayers. Thank you.

Isaiah 59:19 So shall they fear the name of the Lord from the West, and His glory from the rising of the sun. When the enemy shall come in like a flood, the Spirit of the Lord shall lift up a standard against him.
**Isaiah 59:19 - New Revised Standard Version (NRSV)**
```Dust
<19> So those in the west shall fear the name of the Lord, and those in the east, his glory; for he will come like a pent-up stream that the wind of the Lord drives on. ```
Are you willing to be part of that standard.
When Christ was lifted up it was promised He would draw all men to Him.
If you are part of the body of Christ, you ARE part of that standard.

The Message to Ephesus
<1> "To the angel of the church in Ephesus write: These are the words of him who holds the seven stars in his right hand, who walks among the seven golden lampstands: <2> "I know your works, your toil and your patient endurance. I know that you cannot tolerate evildoers; you have tested those who claim to be apostles but are not, and have found them to be false. <3> I also know that you are enduring patiently and bearing up for the sake of my name, and that you have not grown weary. <4> But I have this against you, that you have abandoned the love you had at first. <5> Remember then from what you have fallen; repent, and do the works you did at first. If not, I will come to you and remove your lampstand from its place, unless you repent. <6> Yet this is to your credit: you hate the works of the Nicolaitans, which I also hate. <7> Let anyone who has an ear listen to what the Spirit is saying to the churches. To everyone who conquers, I will give permission to eat from the tree of life that is in the paradise of God. ```
hat is why you have to put on the whole armor of God.
