God’s got a lot of children who show up
for special days they’ll come for the
big programs of special things but we
don’t want that in our lives we don’t
want people working with us who you
can’t depend on you want something that
you can count on something that you can
depend on and so he says I should be
able to count on you you should
be a Dependable person your word should

matter the Bible says in first
Corinthians 10:31 whether you eat or
drink or whatever you do do all to the
glory of God God wants to be involved in
all the idiosyncratic elements of your
existence he wants to be involved in all
the decisions he wants to be involved in
all the choices and all the directions
and all the relationship he wants to be
involved in the whole thing so that it
has Eternal value attached to it so that
it has the value of gold silver precious
stones which is
indestructible he is saying you remember
the story The Three Little Pigs Don’t
you it was all about the material that
they used to build a house the big bad
wolf came and one is straw one is wood
the other is Brick the first two went
down only the third one stood because of
the material they used the moment you
attach God two life decisions on the
foundation of Jesus Christ you’ve now
established value in your existence one
of the reasons why so many people even
Christians live lives without values is
they’re operating with the wrong
material they are
Earthbound and once you Earthbound that
is you have no spiritual Eternal
perspective attached then you are
operating on that which will not stand
the test on the day at the Judgment seat
of Christ
at the Judgment seat of Christ when he
rolls my tape and rolls your tape he’s
going to discuss with you and me four
things four things the first thing he’s
going to discuss are our works the Deeds
that we
did he talks about the works each man’s
work verse 13 each man’s work those are
the Deeds you perform whether the acts
that you did did were of value to
Eternity or they were only
Earthbound they were temporal they had
no Eternal attachment to it God wasn’t
attached to it your faith wasn’t
attached to it what God Said based on
his word wasn’t attached to it it was
just how you thought how you felt what
you want there was no work done that had
Eternal value attached to it he says of
those things he’s going to look at your
Deeds
not only he’s going to look at your
Deeds but he’s going to look at them
infantes
smally that is he’s going to look at
them in minute detail according to
Matthew chap 10 verse 42 it says he will
not even miss a cup of cold water given
in his name so if you offer a person a
cup of cold water and attach God to the
cup he says that is a rewardable work so
he is not going to miss details of
things done to which he was attached
okay so he is going to look at Works
done or works not done that should have
been done when he rose your tape the
second thing that he’s going to look at
are your desires and your
thoughts I know how you
feel Romans chap
2 verse 16
says on the day when according to my
gospel God will judge the secrets of of
men’s
thoughts through Christ Jesus he’s not
only going to judge what you did but
what you were
thinking what you were
thinking this judgment is so precise so
intense Luke chap 12 verses 2 and three
puts it this
way but there is nothing covered that
will not be revealed and hidden that
will not be known that’s right
accordingly whatever you have said in
the dark will be heard in the light and
whatever you whispered in the inner
rooms will be proclaimed upon the
rooftops so there will be no hidden
desires the people you wish were
dead I mean all of those will be part of
the father of the Judgment it will
include the secrets of the Heart Another
thing that will be J judged on that day
are our
declarations that is what we actually
said Matthew
12 verse
26 puts it this
way he
says M Matthew chapter 12: 36 excuse me
but I tell you that every careless word
that people
speak they shall give an accounting for
it in the day of
judgment for by your words you will be
justified and by your words you will be
condemned so every cuss word
and Every curse word two different
things c c us SS profanity curse c r s e
wishing evil upon people he says every
one of those have been
recorded and on the day of judgment he
says every careless word will be brought
forth this is a scary
situation tell the truth and shame the
devil make you want to SW your mouth and
never utter a mumbling word Jesus Christ
then is a part of every
conversation everybody time you talk to
somebody it’s not just the somebody
you’re talking to it’s God taping the
conversation and it is part of the
Judgment I know some of you are mad you
even came to church today cuz you just I
don’t need to hear this he’s going to
judge your Deeds he’s going to judge
desires he’s going to judge
declarations and then he’s going to
judge
dependability 1 Corinthians 4:2 says
it’s accounted unto a steward to be
faithful could he depend on you you know
some some some of you are married to
people and they only remember you on
special days they got you on your
birthday they got you for Christmas they
got you for your anniversary
but in between those special days you
don’t hear much from them you don’t get
much niceness from them but they going
to show up for the special
days God’s got a lot of children who
show up for special days they’ll come
for the big programs of special things
but in terms of consistently walking
with him loving him serving him they’ll
they they’ll they’ll they’ll serve in a
Ministry this month they’ll skip 6
months pop back up another month cuz
they weren’t faithful they weren’t
Dependable but we don’t want that in our
lives we don’t want people working with
us who you can’t depend on showing up
but not showing up you don’t your your
boss doesn’t want that if you’re an
employer you don’t want that you want
something that you can count on
something that you can depend
on and so he says it’s accounted unto a
steward to be depend I should be able to
count on you you should
be a Dependable person your word should
matter he says it’s on
tape it shows up at the Judgment seat of
Christ on that day he says and it will
be
revealed revealed means to turn it
inside out to see the real
deal on that day he will know whether it
was gold or
goldplated because if it’s goldplated
people can think it’s
gold when only it’s
camouflaged and it shows up not to be
gold he will be able to demonstrate
whether it was diamond or cut
glass cuz cut glass can kind of look
like diamonds if it shined up real nice
and you could think it with diamond when
it was just glass made to appear like
diamonds on they it will be revealed
whether it was leather or
plea if you go to New York to Louis
Vuitton you walk in that store you’ll
see ladies purses for
$3,000
$3,000 lady purses with Louis Vuitton’s
name on it and
insignia you walk right outside the door
on the corner they Louis Vuitton
knockoffs they look like
Louie they may even have a Louie
feel but to the eye of a Discerning
woman now to me it don’t
matter actually to me it does matter
let’s get the knock off and save the
money it look close enough to the real
deal but to the Discerning Eye of a
woman who knows
quality she will let you know that’s not
real that’s fake that that that’s an
image God has got a lot of fake
Christians who look christianese on the
outside but on that day when he turns it
inside
out it will be Christian knockoff
not the real deal the real deal on
Sunday in church but not the real deal
as a lifestyle with their works and
their words and their
consistency and
so he says on that day it will reveal
it he wants to know did you value gold
silver precious stones the free gift of
salvation
