Jesus Said Don’t Receive the Gospel and Then Be Distracted
Jesus said that there are people who hear the Gospel, ”…but as they go on their way they are choked by life’s worries, riches and pleasures, and they do not mature” (Luke 8:14). When you read this, what is your response? Are you convicted that there are areas in […]

Jesus Said Don’t Receive the Gospel and Then Fall Away
In the Parable of the Sower, Jesus described a group of people who are quick to respond to Him, but are just as quick to ”fall away” when trouble or persecution comes along. I have heard the term fall away used before in various ways, depending on who was […]

Jesus Said Don’t Grumble and Complain
Jesus said it only once: “Stop grumbling among yourselves.” It may surprise you that, when “grumble” or “grumbling” is used in the gospels, it is NOT used to refer to people complaining about the weather, other people, circumstances, etc. Rather, in the gospels these words are always used in […]

Jesus Said Don’t Worry
I am weary of people who cling to worry, acting like it is a badge of compassion and ‘caring’, rather than repenting and acknowledging it is sin! Until disciples admit that worry is a sin, repent of it, and believe that Jesus freed them from this sin, too, there […]

Jesus Said Don’t Teach & Follow Rules Taught by Men
Jesus said beware of religious observances and traditions that have no basis in God’s commands. This is a good time to review your church’s teachings and traditions, to make sure they are rooted in the Bible, not the traditions of man.

Jesus Said Don’t Disobey His Teaching
In this scripture, Jesus equates loving him with obeying Him. People, as well as churches and church leaders, often gloss over this teaching. Obedience is usually taught to one of two extremes: too little teaching on it, or teaching on it like it is the way to salvation. Neither […]

Jesus Said Don’t Take Offense at His Teachings
“Does this offend you?” (John 6:61). For those easily offended, listening to what Jesus said can be painful. When Jesus started his ministry, some of his first followers became offended at what Jesus said and stopped following Him. As we listen to Jesus’ words and take in what He […]

Jesus Said Don’t Be Ashamed of Him and His Words
How could anybody be ashamed of Jesus? Or be ashamed of His words? Perhaps the cowardly or the unbelieving could be. Certainly there is no shame about Jesus or His words for the man or woman who stands redeemed by Jesus’ blood, longing to see their Savior one day.

Jesus Said Don’t Be Arrogant
Jesus said that arrogance is an evil. Strong words from Jesus. Though only mentioned once by Jesus, arrogance is included in a laundry list of “evils” that Jesus said make a man ‘unclean’.
