Just because a child is born into a "christian" home does not make that child a "christian" ....

Romans 10:18-20
But I say, Have they not heard? Yes verily, their sound went into all the earth, and their words unto the ends of the world.
But I say, Did not Israel know? First Moses saith, I will provoke you to jealousy by them that are no people, and by a foolish nation I will anger you.
But Esaias is very bold, and saith, I was found of them that sought me not; I was made manifest unto them that asked not after me.

Deuteronomy 32:21
They have moved me to jealousy with that which is not God; they have provoked me to anger with their vanities: and I will move them to jealousy with those which are not a people; I will provoke them to anger with a foolish nation.

Isaish 65:1
I am sought of them that asked not for me; I am found of them that sought me not: I said, Behold me, behold me, unto a nation that was not called by my name.

Romans 11:11-12
I say then, Have they stumbled that they should fall? God forbid: but rather through their fall salvation is come unto the Gentiles, for to provoke them to jealousy.
Now if the fall of them be the riches of the world, and the diminishing of them the riches of the Gentiles; how much more their fulness?

Matthew 15:7-9
Ye hypocrites, well did Esaias prophesy of you, saying,
This people draweth nigh unto me with their mouth, and honoureth me with their lips; but their heart is far from me.
But in vain they do worship me, teaching for doctrines the commandments of men.

Isaiah 29:13
Wherefore the Lord said, Forasmuch as this people draw near me with their mouth, and with their lips do honour me, but have removed their heart far from me, and their fear toward me is taught by the precept of men:

And now, Christian don't puff yourself up, because we have been guilty of only doing "as the Spirit moves" and forgetting that we are to love HIM with our whole being and not just spiritualize things. We've been so saturated in greek thinking that spiritual things are good and physical things are bad. Let's break those chains of bondage found in a greek mindset. We have been guilty of living a life without the perameters of the Law in which sanctification is found...it's not what we've been saved from so much as what we've been saved to, corporately.

John 14:15
"If ye love me, keep my commandments."

What are HIS commandments? Torah! It's what HE quoted, lived, and set as an example for us. Take up your cross and follow HIM indeed! They say 613 commands in Torah and yet there are over 1300 commands in the NT ... so whose more "legalistic" .... hmmm, interesting

It Is Good

It Is Good
to praise the Lord
And make music
to Your Name, O G-D, Most High
To proclaim Your Loving Faithfulness
All the day and through the night

Chorus
Lai-la-lai, lai-la-lai-la-lai,
La-la-lai-lai, lai-la-lai-la-lai-la-lai
La-la-la-la-la-la-lai-la-lai,
La-la-lai-lai-lai-lai-lai!

You make me glad by Your Deeds, O L-RD
So I sing for joy at all Your Hands have made
How great are Your Works, O L-RD,
Elohim Baruch Hashem!

(chorus)

May I dwell in Your courts, O L-RD
There to flourish like the trees of Lebanon
Planted in the house of Adonai
There to live forevermore

(chorus)
