TOPICS OF VALUE

By Roy Burner - Minister of the Gospel

INTRODUCTION

Topics of value is a collection of God-inspired messages that I did not want to delete simply because they entered into a different category.  Older messages can be just as meaningful, if not more so, than when first authored.  There is no time limit on the value of such.  I remember messages ministered by others years ago that have never left my memory.  God's Word  is ageless.

YOUR CHOICE

I would encourage you to look through the titles of topics of value and click on the one you are drawn too.   I was called into the ministry in 1983 and have always endeavored to have freshly anointed messages to deliver to God's people in a timely manner through His Spirit and calling.

ADDICTION OF SIN  Addiction of sin has increased, in these latter years, with the help of electronic devices that no longer reflect the morals of a once godly nation.  America has blossomed forth into the ugliness of sin and it is not being dealt with as in previous years.

ALLOWANCE FOR SIN is opening a door for the presence, and acceptance, of sinful behavior.  Rather than expose the truth of God's Word that condemns sin; a certain amount of tolerance is weighed in, which lays the groundwork for even more ungodly behavior.

AWAKEN TO THE TRUTH Awaken to the truth is to come to a spiritual understanding of God's desire for mankind.

CLEANSING OF THE TEMPLE is key to individual lives when realization comes into focus that such refers to Christianity and living a sanctified life in Christ.

ESCALATION OF ACCEPTANCE has become a reality towards the ungodliness of man.  Scripture refers to the one who walks in darkness, and knows not where he goes, because that darkness has blinded his eyes (1 John 2:11).

GOD'S HANDIWORK God's handiwork goes beyond man's abilities; utilizing whosoever He will to institute His ways. 

HOPE VERSUS DESPAIR Hope versus despair is an essential part of a Christian's life; not mere expectation or desire, but that which includes trust, confidence, and refuge in the God of hope.

INSIDIOUS BEHAVIOR is acting or proceeding in a seemingly harmless manner but eventually doing great damage.  Such actions are similar to the enemy of one's soul (Satan), who is deceptive in nature until he finds the right bait to hook his intended victim.

OBSTACLES IN LIFE need to be removed; surmounted or circumvented.  Such brings opposition, hinders progress, or an impediment towards a desired goal.  We are living in times in which freedom of speech is being pushed to the hilt circumventing its original intent; helping create some of the obstacles faced.

THE ACCUSING FINGER comes when one looks at someone with an accusing expression or speaks to them in an accusing tone of voice.  Such may be in reference to a supposed crime, dereliction of duty, moral deficiencies, dishonesty, falsehoods, or misbehavior.

THE RIGHT BAIT  It takes the right bait to capture one's intended victim.  What method is our adversary, the Devil, using to gain the attention of his victims?  What sin would  so attract an individual that they would not want to turn loose of it?

THE VISIBLE HORIZON can be the limit of a person's range of perception, capabilities, or experience; or one can go beyond such perception where new knowledge or experiences may be found.

TIME OF THE HEATHEN caught my attention in the Book of Ezekiel and I began to reflect on the current situation in America, and other once godly nations, who have entered into evil ways of their own choosing.

VULNERABLE TO EVIL INFLUENCES Vulnerable to evil influences is a trend that is growing in a society that is fast becoming pagan in nature.  There is little or no religion as one's delight is in sensual pleasures rather than pursing godly avenues.
