Practical Piety

The consumption of alcohol is an area that has caused confusion for many Christians.  Because the Bible refers to wine-drinking by various righteous people who loved and served Yahuwah, the question is asked, is this something Yahuwah’s people can do without sin?

All who wish to honor Yahuwah in their lives and their marriage will set aside the false standards of worldly dating and choose a mate in a way that honors their Maker.  This article examines five crucial steps a person must take in finding a spouse that will have Heaven’s blessing.

Of the many ways Satan seeks to corrupt the soul is sexual impurity.  Adultery, fornication, and pornography are widely acknowledged sins that corrupt the mind and open the floodgates to ever more of Satan’s temptations.  However, there is another area that also brings the soul under Satan’s control.  It is not discussed as frequently due to discomfort of the topic.  That area is masturbation.

The root of every sinful act is always found in some sinful tendency, cherished in the heart.  One sin that is rapidly reaching pandemic proportions across all age categories, among married couples and singles alike, is that of pornography.  Those who indulge in pornography travel on a road that will eventually end in the total ruin of their souls.  

It is natural for the mind of man, originally created in his Maker’s image, to enjoy and desire beauty.  One of the most common areas in which people focus their desire for beauty is in personal adornment.  To seek to draw attention to one’s appearance is to fall prey to PRIDE, the sin for which Lucifer fell.  The faithful, in these last days, will lay aside everything that distracts or misrepresents the purity of heaven.

The only way for Yahuwah to communicate with the soul is through the mind.  Thus, anything that beclouds the mind or numbs the senses must be avoided at all costs.  All who are seeking righteousness will find that returning to a very simple diet, free of strong spices, sugars, fats, additives and preservatives will be a tremendous blessing in the battle to overcome sin. 

The importance of early childhood education cannot be over-emphasized.  It is a serious responsibility to bring a child into the world.  All who choose to do so have a solemn duty before Yahuwah to train the child, to mold his character, to be a fit citizen for the kingdom of Heaven.  

The battle for the human soul begins as a battle for the mind.  A person’s thoughts influence his emotions and the thoughts and feelings combined make up the character.  If the thoughts are impure, Satan has already won the battle for the soul.  One of Satan’s most effective tools in corrupting the soul is found in movies and television.  

Yahuwah is a most generous Father.  Most of His gifts go unrecognized and unacknowledged by His earthly children who take them for granted.  But all should remember that “Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above.”  (James 1:17) One gift that is overlooked perhaps more than any other is the gift of time.

Satan reserves his most subtle temptations for those who know better than to engage in the more obvious sins.  One area Satan has very successfully used to ensnare many unawares is sports.  Competition originated in the heart of Lucifer himself when he coveted Yahushua’s position in the heavenly courts.  This struggle to be the best, to be #1, to be the winner, is the spirit of competition and the spirit of competition is the spirit of war.  

Scripture is clear.  The remnant “church” is not the last organized denomination.  Rather, they are the final remnant of Called Out Ones.  They are called out from all denominations.  Scripture presents the final generation as having the final separation from Babylon, her churches, and from all false doctrines and practices.  

Sadly, many who take the name “Christian,” often condemn others whose sins differ from their own, supposedly lesser sins. Nowhere else is this sad truth demonstrated so clearly as in the subject of homosexuality. Scripture is clear, though; homosexuality is a sin, and no sinner, regardless of what the precise sin is, shall enter Heaven. Homosexuality, as with all other sin, must be surrendered to Yahushua if one would inherit eternal life.

All who accept the true Sabbath will be faced with problems that are humanly unsolvable.  Yahuwah allows such trials so that His children will seek Him.  It is only when insurmountable problems are solved by a covenant-keeping Eloah that a person's faith is strengthened and FAITH is the greatest need of Yah's children today.

In these closing days of earth’s history, the real cost of obtaining eternal life is now glaringly apparent.  Gaining Heaven will require giving up everything.  New situations will arise that will call for more than human wisdom.  In this, as in every other situation, Yahuwah has provided a solution for every problem.  The word of Yahuwah contains the power to do what it says.  Therefore, claim His promises!  They are His gift to you.  You can safely rest all upon the promises because they are the Word of Yah and they contain the power to do what they say!

Yahuwah's purpose for marriage is that the couple become "one flesh."  Learn the various methods used by couples to become "one," and why only one method can achieve the desired "oneness."

It is often difficult to know what to do with tithes and offerings when one home churches.  This article explores Biblical principles on tithes and offerings and offers suggestions on how they may be returned to Yahuwah, even when home churching.  

The natural response of the heart that feels loved is to love in return because Love awakens love.  To nurture love, gratitude must be expressed by recognizing received blessings.  All who have felt the love of Yahuwah, will want to obey Him because they love Him.  Obedience to the divine law is how love is shown for the Law Giver.
