Are You Afraid to Be In the Minority? April 10, 2021 by Tammy Roesch Posted in Separation From the World Are you afraid to be in the MINORITY? Those in the MAJORITY have never been on the right side. All through Bible times, to the present, this has been the story….repeated time and time again. Noah, Moses & Aaron, Elijah & Daniel were in the Minority. Martin Luther and all the Reformers were in the Minority. Jesus warned us Himself that “the MANY” (MAJORITY) will walk the road to hell…and only “a FEW” (MINORITY) will walk the narrow and difficult road to Heaven. “You can enter God’s Kingdom only through the narrow gate. The highway to hell is broad, and its gate is wide for the many who choose that way. But the gateway to life is very narrow and the road is difficult, and only a few ever find it.” Matthew 7:13, 14. Afraid To Be In the Minority Is “fitting in” and “not sticking out like a sore thumb” really important to you? Are you afraid to be different, afraid to stand alone? Do you want everyone to “like” you? Are you afraid to “rock the boat”? If this describes your thinking, I hope and pray you will see the importance of changing your thinking because it’s this kind of thinking that is going to KEEP you on the BROAD ROAD heading to hell. There is a CROSS ….that comes with being a Christian….and one of the aspects of that CROSS that we are called to carry, is to “come out from among them and be separate.” We are called to distance ourselves from the things of the world that would separate us from Jesus. Jesus said, “Whether therefore ye eat or drink or WHATSOEVER ye do, do ALL to the glory of God.” 1 Corinthians 10:31. And obviously, the examples Jesus Himself used was what we EAT and DRINK, Those are issues that many consider to be not worthy of worrying about. Clearly Jesus didn’t think that way. Really, what He was saying was this, “If I’m asking you to be careful in the areas of what you eat and drink, that are the basics of life, you must know I’m asking you to be careful in everything else, that would cause you to separate from Me…” Whether it be the MUSIC we listen to, the CLOTHES we wear, the FOOD we eat, the FRIENDS we hang out with, the BOOKS we read, the SITES we visit, the LANGUAGE we use, how we spend our FREE TIME, how we treat our PARENTS, our CHILDREN & our MATES, all of these things tell whether or not we are walking the Narrow Way with Jesus or the broad way with the World. The Bible says, “Examine yourselves to see whether you are in the faith; test yourselves. Do you not realize that Christ Jesus is in you—unless, of course, you fail the test?” 2 Corinthians 13:5. NOW is the time to find out whether or not we are in the faith! We don’t want to put off finding out until Probation closes and it’s too late! Don’t delay! Jesus is Coming soon! I hope you have been inspired and would like to read more :). Check out my husband’s book here ~ And if you would like to learn a little more about us ~
This Is HOW Animal Products KILL You April 10, 2021 by Tammy Roesch Posted in Health & Christianity My favorite author wrote this over 100 years ago, before people understood that this is HOW animal products kill you, they clog your arteries and give you heart attacks and strokes. The effects of a flesh diet may not be immediately realized; but this is no evidence that it is not harmful. Few can be made to believe that it is the meat they have eaten which has poisoned their blood and caused their suffering. Many die of diseases wholly due to meat eating, while the real cause is not suspected by themselves or by others. Ministry of Healing, pg. 315.1 This is what heart blockages are caused from….CHOLESTEROL…that forms PLAQUE which only comes from the MEAT/DAIRY that people eat. This Author was over 100 years ahead of the Scientists & Doctors…she wrote much on the subject of HEALTH and everything she wrote has always been proven true by Science. Her name was Ellen White. She had an accident when she was very young and her schooling ended at 3rd Grade. It is amazing what God can and will do with a person if they surrender their life to Him. Cheese is something many find really hard to give up…if you love cheese, you should try the CASHEW CHEESE recipe we have. It’s delicious and easy to make and so healthy for you! Filling our arteries up with cholesterol is just ONE way that eating animals can KILL you.
Daniel’s Example Is For Us Today ~ Don’t Compromise the Truth to Appease April 3, 2021 by Tammy Roesch Posted in Health & Christianity Tagged Daniel's Example is For Us, Don't Compromise the Truth to Appease Don’t Compromise the Truth…. “And the king appointed them a daily provision of the king’s meat, and of the wine which he drank: so nourishing them three years, that at the end thereof they might stand before the king.” Daniel 1:5. How many times I’ve heard Christians say that, “We must be careful not to offend someone by not eating whatever they offer to us.” If there were ever a time when it would have been right to compromise and eat what was set before him, Daniel had that opportunity. Think about it. He was told to eat whatever food & drink the King set before him, food that he knew was UNHEALTHY and on top of that, it had been offered to Idols. Remember, Daniel was young and he was a slave. He and his three friends and many other Jewish youth had just been taken captive by Nebuchadnezzar’s army. Then they were hauled off to Babylon, and were put into a rigorous 3 year educational program. The King was providing them with what he considered the BEST food he could give them. It would have been very easy for Daniel and his three friends to justify eating that food and drinking the alcohol set before them. Their mothers had taught them, “Don’t compromise the truth.” They knew the risks they were taking by doing the right thing and not compromising the diet that had been handed down to them from God Himself. They knew that much was at stake, perhaps, even their lives. But they also knew ….that if they compromised here, they would be on a slippery slope that only went one direction ~ down. And they knew too, that if they stood firm, that they could ask for God’s blessing and protection. They trusted God enough to believe that even when their lives were in danger, they should obey Him, and let the chips fall wherever they would fall. And God blessed Daniel and his three friends wonderfully! At the end of the 3 years, when they went for their final exams, Daniel and his friends were found them not just twice as intelligent as their peers, no, he found them 10 TIMES more intelligent! “Whenever the king consulted them in any matter requiring wisdom and balanced judgment, he found them ten times more capable than any of the magicians and enchanters in his entire kingdom.” Daniel 1:20 So too, today, we should do the right thing don’t compromise the truth, and don’t be afraid to offend our friends or family. Be as diplomatic as possible, but know where the line is and refuse to compromise where we should not compromise. I’ve found personally …that it is rare that people are offended, if you kindly explain your convictions. Instead of compromising, use these opportunities as WITNESSING OPPORTUNITIES, where you can share the TRUTH with those in darkness. The only times I’ve had people be offended were times when they were Christians who KNEW BETTER and were angry with me for not joining them in their disobedience. These Old Testament stories have wonderful lessons for you and me TODAY!
