Hearing & Doing

So many people these days claim their Christianity but don't follow the lifestyle of how a "Christian" is intended to. A person can go to church but not listen, not care, and not even believe. A person can open a bible but pay no attention to the words inside, or sing the music and not be praising God. Just because they claim to be a Christian doesn't mean they are. I, nor anyone else, is in a position to judge the beliefs and innerself of those, but God knows. In scriptures it talks about hearing and doing the word many times and instructs us how to live and love.


"Not everyone who says to me, 'Lord, Lord,' will enter the kingdom of heaven, but only he who does the will of my Father who is in heaven. Many will say to me on that day, 'Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in your name, and in your name drive out demons and perform many miracles?' Then I will tell them plainly, 'I never knew you. Away from me, you evildoers!"
Matthew 7:21-23

"My dear brothers, take note of this: Everyone should be quick to listen, slow to speak and slow to become angry, for man's anger does not bring about the righteous life that God desires. Therefore, get rid of all moral filth and the evil that is so prevalent and humbly accept the word planted in you, which can save you.
Do not merely listen to the word, and so deceive yourselves. Do what it says. Anyone who listens to the word but does not do what it says is like a man who looks at his face in a mirror and, after looking at himself, goes away and immediately forgets what he looks like. But the man who looks intently into the perfect law that gives freedom, and continues to do this, not forgetting what he has heard, but doing it—he will be blessed in what he does.
If anyone considers himself religious and yet does not keep a tight rein on his tongue, he deceives himself and his religion is worthless. Religion that God our Father accepts as pure and faultless is this: to look after orphans and widows in their distress and to keep oneself from being polluted by the world."
James 1:19-27

If we live life in a worldy way and disregard God's word then our eternity may be comprimised. It's the things in life that matter the most that we put aside most of the time. Be aware of what God desires and the way you do what you hear.

Animals in Heaven

Have you ever wondered if your pets or animals will ascend into heaven as well? No one knows the full truth but we can try o understand better by reading the scriptures! I have researched some verses to share with everyone to help you to come to a conclusion on whether animals are going to be in heaven. I have wondered lately about why God would create animals, let them live, have feelings, and let them be important enough to be in the Bible.

Revelation 5:13
Then I heard every creature in heaven and on earth and under the earth and on the sea, and all that is in them, singing:
"To him who sits on the throne and to the Lamb
be praise and honor and glory and power,
for ever and ever!"

2 Kings 2:11
As they were walking along and talking together, suddenly a chariot of fire and horses of fire appeared and separated the two of them, and Elijah went up to heaven in a whirlwind.

Psalm 104
14 He makes grass grow for the cattle,
and plants for man to cultivate—
bringing forth food from the earth:
27 These all look to you
to give them their food at the proper time.
28 When you give it to them,
they gather it up;
when you open your hand,
they are satisfied with good things.
29 When you hide your face,
they are terrified;
when you take away their breath,
they die and return to the dust.
30 When you send your Spirit,
they are created,
and you renew the face of the earth.

Matthew 6:26
Look at the birds of the air; they do not sow or reap or store away in barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not much more valuable than they?

Isaiah 65:25
The wolf and the lamb will feed together, and the lion will eat straw like the ox, but dust will be the serpent's food. They will neither harm nor destroy on all my holy mountain," says the LORD.
