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.

DANCE TO THE TUNE is being influenced, through persuasive methods, towards embracing what is being proposed.  The apostle Paul, in writing to the Galatians, said:  You did run well; who did hinder you that you should not obey the truth (Galatians 5:7)?

FRIEND OR FOE is a question that is often masked over by one's demeanor; whether it be the leader of a country, or individual encounters with others.

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. 

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.

LOVE OF PLEASURE is an entrapment that has befallen many.  Scripture reveals that in the last days perilous times would come.  Among the characteristics mentioned is lovers of pleasures more than of God (2 Timothy 3:4).

SEARCHING FOR HOPE is a prelude to receiving.  When tragedy threatens; or strikes, one needs to reach out to God who is greater than one's present circumstance.

STAND IN THE GAP relates to the quest for a godly man who would make up the hedge that had been broken down by the transgressions of the people.  They had exceeded all bounds of law and justice; that could have restrained them from sinning.

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?

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.
