Things I Preach To Myself About..‪.‬ Rich Vangen

The word “Hebrew” means to cross over. Abram (Abraham) crossed over to follow God above without question, leaving family and friends in obedience. Many have gone against the grain of family and society to follow that which they know is truth. There are challenges and worries about giving up all we know to follow Yahweh complete as He calls us to do. Today, we talk about my journey…so far!

“The devil made me do it!” Always someone else’s fault? We cannot blame others for our own transgressions of the law. If we know the law, we also know to follow the law. But did the law of the Bible go away because of Jesus? No. He showed us how to keep the law, so he obviously didn’t do away with it! Today we discuss this controversy.

Why do we break down and falter in our journey? What is needed to maintain our drive? Well, the Messiah has called us to follow Him, but He also tells us what we need and how to do it! To rest in Him, learn from Him, and simply walk in His steps! Today we look at casting off the burdens of this world and embracing Messiah’s ways instead.

Humanity is rolling downhill to destruction and many are enjoying the ride! But some who get out of the rolling snowball fall victim to the devil’s plan. Can we survive leaving what we know and still have hope and regain trust in Messiah? Let’s find out! 

Is our hope built on sinking sand or solid rock? It is one thing to have solid knowledge to stand on, but just having pieces can still be unstable unless they are all held together! It's important to cement our faith on the entirety of His Word, the complete Bible...not just snippets! Where do you stand? Is your ground solid, or rolling?

We love to do things our own way! It's just part of our nature. But when we are told to do something in a manner we don't completely agree with, we tend to push the limits and change the rules to fit our desires. Yet, this can conflict with our obedience to God above when we know we should be following His Words completely and yet don't. God doesn't have a "half" option to His commands...it is all or nothing. So, do we follow completely? Maybe it's time to reassess our walk!
