[Proverbs 11:14] Without wise leadership, a nation falls; there is safety in having many advisers. -- No one person can make all of the right decisons, Nor can no one persons decision always be best for everyone else! This is for any leader, leadership or Government! Just because your job title is Leader does not make you, your ways better for everyone!
Going in to the world to reach sinners does not mean to be conformed by the world of sinners. We should never lose sight or who we are in Christ. Nor should we hide or deny our faith to sit with the sinners/saints. If we are True to Gods word, LOVE UN-Conditionally as HE does daily, live with in HIS image and lose sight of our own, Then maybe sinners/saints may allow us to dine with them.
Why is it so many today feel we must be approved by the world to do all God has called us to do/be? Why do so many fear man so much more then God?
Christ gave HIS life on a cross for all of us, Not once did He deny or Hide who He was nor Did He deny all of us because of fear from man! So why today do so many sit silienced, abiding by mans laws or fearing the offense of an other for speaking Gods Love and Gods Truth?
We should NEVER Force our beleifs, Gods Truth or Love on anyone or should we be judgemental of any sinner/saint. Instead be loving towards the sinner/saint and hating only the sin. No one person beleives the same thing, we should never be condemning of any man with no acceptions. [It's Easier said then done!]
If a professed saint came to dine with me only to bring me their: Hypocrisy, Cast Judgement, or Condemnation - I would not want to sit and dine with or allow them to dine with me. I certainly would not want their company in my presence. To be accepted is to be True/Real in Christ not fake and to Love with the Love of Christ. Our Image should be the image of Christ and non other.
When people see Christs Image in us and feel HIS UN-Conditional Love for them - through us, [the same love Christ gives daily] They will hunger for more of what we have shown them, come running and draw nearer to Christ, Allowing us to show them how to receive this same LOVE from Christ that we showed them. They will be hungry and thirsty for more of Christ because you showed them HIS True LOVE and who HE is!
Its not about self glory! Its about Glorifying Christ and sharingHIS TRUTH to the world. If we are in it for self righteousness we are condemning ourself to another uncomfortable eternal place. Its not about us or what we do, how we do it, how many we saved, how much money we raced, being the best of what ever. It is not about us. Self must be completely Gone and replaced by all of Christ.
The truth is, who really cares about how big our church is, how pretty the inside of it is, how many fit inside of it, how many we sinners we saved, what we did or do for the kingdom! WHO CARES! These are ALL MATERIAL things. God does not care about all of that, What he cares about is that the lost are now found safe under His wings. That is and should be our mission!
There are many scriptures in the bible we can relate to about going in to the world. In the last three weeks, I have reflected on a burden I have carried for several months as well as leaned on these scriptures I felt led to view: Luke 5:27-32, 15:1-7 , Mark 2:13-17 , Matthew 9:9-13 as well as the following noted scriptures: and others not noted James 4, Matthew 7, Romans 2, 1 Corinthians 4, Luke 6, Romans 14.
Gods word is Truth, yet today so many take HIS words out of context to satisfy or please others including themself. Shame on them for doing so. Our bible is our daily instruction to live. We must be in our word daily and guarding our self from the false speakers today.
If we are not in our word daily, Waiting for Sunday or Wednesday to pick up our word at chruch or hear the Pastor ---- Then shame on us for not drawing closer to our Father, not hearing God speak to us or show us the things we need to know and live by daily.
If we are not living by HIS word daily then we are known as the phony believer and our efforts to work for the kingdom of God will do MORE Harm then Good!
If we didnt know it --- We are being paged right now by someone who has been waiting and calling to us this whole time, to fulfill His works, His plans for our life.
If your not in tune with our Father, Get in tune today. IF there is one of those believers reading this today that is the self righteous believer, condeming believer --- No matter where you are or what it is you have done or are doing? I hope you will search yourself and ensure that Christ is in total control of all of you, not just half of you. [The half that you dont mind giving up] Allow Him to live in you and use you for HIS Glory.
Take the rest of this evening or all of tomorrow to show the TRUE LOVE of Christ with others you come in contact with. May those who see you see Christ in you and may the FEEL His love come through you and reach out to comfort them.
So much of this is why so many today want NOTHING to do with religion or God!
Have a great weekend! Reach out and share the some real love with an other. This has been on my heart for a while, I am hoping those who read it will hear Truth calling out to them.
