SETTING UP PROPS AND REPRESENTING?
How can one be honest with others, if one is dishonest with themselves. Setting up props is okay if there is substance behind the props, representing is alright if one is representing themselves in the light of the gospel of Christ, not hypocritically, not sanctimoniously, and not in denial, but in Spirit and Truth. Propping up Jesus as the only standard of truth and the spirit whereby we live, acknowledging we are on the journey to perfection, but that we have by no means arrived.
(3) For we are the true circumcision--we who render to God a spiritual worship and make our boast in Christ Jesus and have no confidence in outward ceremonies: Philippians 3:3 WNT
It’s not where we worship, its where we worship from, if we worship from our heart to be seen of God, our props and reps with bear witness, but if we worship from insincerity and empty ceremony this too will be detected and then rejected by those who see through us.
(14) with my ( our ) eyes fixed on the goal I ( we ) push on to secure the prize of God's heavenward call in Christ Jesus.
(15) Therefore let all of us who are mature believers cherish these thoughts; and if in any respect you think differently, that also God will make clear to you.
(16) But whatever be the point that we have already reached, let us persevere in the same course.
Philippians 3:14-16 WNT
There is a way in the mind of man that seems reasonable and right, but it is the way to self degradation, self annihilation, and demise, all accomplished through carnal self told lies. False Props, and False Reps are a false way and more about selfishness that self exalts than selflessness that exalts Christ and others. You can be cool, but don’t be a fool, Jesus is the Way, the Truth, and the Life. Be honest with yourself, and watch how things begin to systematically change for the good. Let your props be real, and your reps be righteous.
(12) Therefore in all things, whatever you want that people should do to you, thus also you do to them. For this is the law and the prophets.
(13) "Enter through the narrow gate, because broad is the gate and spacious is the road that leads to destruction, and there are many who enter through it,
(14) because narrow is the gate and constricted is the road that leads to life, and there are few who find it!
Matthew 7:12-14 LEB
Brethren keep the faith today by keeping it real, keeping righteousness, and keeping it reliable! Selah!
Shalom & Agape!
