Where are the boundaries?
* If you are where you are not supposed to be..when the trumpet sounds you will die (where will Jesus find you when He comes back?)
"10 And the Lord said to Moses, “Go to the people and consecrate them today and tomorrow. Have them wash their clothes 11 and be ready by the third day, because on that day the Lord will come down on Mount Sinai in the sight of all the people. 12 Put limits
for the people around the mountain and tell them, ‘Be careful that you
do not approach the mountain or touch the foot of it. Whoever touches
the mountain is to be put to death. 13 They are to be stoned
or shot with arrows; not a hand is to be laid on them. No person or
animal shall be permitted to live.’ Only when the ram’s horn sounds a long blast may they approach the mountain.”
14 After Moses had gone down the mountain to the people, he consecrated them, and they washed their clothes. 15 Then he said to the people, “Prepare yourselves for the third day. Abstain from sexual relations.”16 On the morning of the third day there was thunder and lightning, with a thick cloud over the mountain, and a very loud trumpet blast. Everyone in the camp trembled. " Exodus 19:10-16
* It is a blessing to have boundaries not a burden because you will thank the people who made these boundaries on judgment day
" Have confidence in your leaders and submit to their authority, because they keep watch over you
as those who must give an account. Do this so that their work will be a
joy, not a burden, for that would be of no benefit to you. " Hebrews 13:17
* Some of the values that we need to watch out for
1) Personal Values : things you do or not do as a person (drinking a glass of wine once in a while vs not drinking at all)
2) Traditional Values: What the church standards are
3) Core Values: Who you are behind closed doors
"Above all else, guard your heart,
for everything you do flows from it." Proverbs 4:23
for everything you do flows from it." Proverbs 4:23
Note :We are saved by grace not by works..however after being saved our works need to reflect Christ..hence we need boundaries!
Stay Blessed<3
