What is dung...is dung!

The apostle Paul stated in Phillipians 3:7-9, 'But what things were gain to me, those I counted loss for Christ. Yeah doubtless, and I count all things but loss for the excellency of the knowledge of Christ Jesus my Lord: for whom I have suffered the loss of all things, and do count them but dung, that I may win Christ, and be found in Him, not having mine own righteousness, which is of the law, but that which is through faith of Christ, the righteousness which is of God by faith. (KJV)

My friends I believe the word dung is very discript! And by definition simply means crap; human or animal waste; fecal matter and the like. In other words, something to be discarded and avoided at all costs. Yet it seems that many modern day pastors and teachers have not only picked up this dung, this crap, but have submerged themselves in it to the point of smearing and flinging it over everything and everybody they touch. Now I don't know about you, but I don't want any dung slung on me. I'm just not that kind of monkey! Just sayin...

Please read Phillipians 3:1-10

The top of the mountain!

When Moses went up Mt. Sinai to meet with God, the nation of Israel stood at the bottom in fear; waiting for the man of God to return. My friends, the Lord has come to live in our hearts! Why are so many still waiting at the bottom of the mountain; living in fear; and subjugated to another man?

Jesus is God, Emmanuel, and He is with us eternally! So let us take our rightful position with Him, all fears removed at the top of the mountain!

'Then they said to Moses, 'You speak with us, and we will hear; but let not God speak with us, lest we die.' ~ Exodus 20:19

God, who at various times in various ways spoke in time past to the fathers by the prophets, has in these last days spoken to us by His Son, whom He has appointed heir of all things.

'While He was still speaking, behold, a bright cloud overshadowed them; and suddenly a voice came out of the cloud, saying, 'This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased. Hear Him!'
