So who you are �related to� holds a lot of meaning. Note the value of the word �hear� in the following scripture!
Luke 8:21 (KJV) And he answered and said unto them, My mother and my brethren are these which hear the word of God, and do it.
Luke 24:38 (KJV) And he said unto them, Why are ye troubled? and why do thoughts arise in your hearts? Do �thoughts arise in your hearts�? If they do, it might be that your Father in Heaven does not have his rightful place in your heart. You may have made Him too small, too far away, unknowingly so, in thinking you had to please men rather than Him. No man or ministry should stand between you and Your Father in Heaven. In the letter before this one, I would share with you that times have changed and there is a great �Falling Away� of Christian leaders. Yes� these leaders are knowledgeable about running the church but void in knowing Christ. I pointed out in my letter what is now happening in all churches regardless of how they were divided in creed and or what form of Religion these leaders are in is a matter of pride and vanity. My point: regardless of what church you belong to, I would remind you of a �KEY� Principle, that of �Repentance from DEAD WORKS�. (Hebrews 6:1-3) In other words, as a called servant, I am being guided by the Holy Spirit to remind all Christians to seek �the Mind of Christ. Do you remember this scripture?
Mark 7:7-8 (KJV) Howbeit in vain do they worship me, teaching for doctrines the commandments of men? [8] For laying aside the commandment of God, ye hold the tradition of men, as the washing of pots and cups: and many other such like things ye do
Mark 7:12-13 (KJV) And ye suffer him no more to ought for his father or his mother; [13] Making the word of God of none effect through your tradition, which ye have delivered: and many such like things do ye.
Luke 12:56 (KJV) Ye hypocrites, ye can discern the face of the sky and of the earth; but how is it that ye do not discern this time? Here was my reasoning: We are told to be aware of wolves in sheep�s clothing! Also in my reasoning, we regardless of what kind of church or fellowship we belong to are to REALLY know who these men ARE, who is your Priest, Pastor, or Preacher. How would you know them? Here�s how! You are to know them by their character as elders, men of which money (success) is not an issue, and most important by their FRUITS. ... |
