God cannot be mocked.

Check out Francis Chan's message (Cornerstone Church, Simi Valley, cornerstonesimi.com) 5.18.08. Here's a summary:

"Do not be deceived: God cannot be mocked. A man reaps what he sows." GALATIANS 6:7

We can lie to other people, we can even deceive ourselves. GOD, however, knows all. He will be neither deceived nor mocked.

We will stand before our Mighty Judge one day. Our hearts, our motives, our actions WILL BE REVEALED.

What are we doing with our lives? We can fool our family, we can fool our church, we can fool ourselves, but we cannot fool God.

Do our lives POINT to God? Do we live every day as if it's our last? Do we pursue pure motives and God-centered intentions?

Galatians 6:9 "Let us not become weary in doing good, for AT THE PROPER TIME we will reap a harvest if we do not give up."

Either we pursue God things, or we pursue our things. There is no middle ground, no holding pattern. The opposite of sin is not not sinning. It's doing good.

Galatians 6:10 "Therefore, as we have opportunity, let us do good to all people, especially those who belong to the family of believers."

Check out his message. You won't be disappointed.

Wow. I will be judged one day. May my life be a beautiful offering and a light for Jesus, for God will not be mocked. I will reap what I sow.

Kara, I really like the part "The opposite of sinning is not not sinning. It's doing good."...so true!
