". seek ye first the kingdom of God..."
Do you believe in
God? I do! Do you believe the Bible is God’s written word? I do!
The following is part of an email I received last week, 3
August 2022. Since the author is well known and currently speaking at many
conferences, I am not identifying the author.
“I’ve got a story to tell,” begins with the author’s
credentials and extensive travel experiences. The author continues writing
about visiting the largest Cathedral [gives the name] in the Middle East. Then
the author continues “I proclaimed in that country that Christians, Jews, and
Muslims are all children of Abraham.” The author continues, “What a marvelous
message that God heals the deepest of wounds and brings people together, for we are all His children.” Yes, this
is just part of the Bible.
As Paul Harvey used to say, “for the rest of the story…”
God has given each of us a different life plan,
yet there is one God. God’s purpose for creating me and you, our main assignment,
is to love God, part of Exodus 20, "I am the Lord thy God, which have brought thee out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage. Thou shalt have no other gods before me." In Matthew 22:36-38, Jesus replies, "Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind." Let us also read:
Galatians 3:26, "For ye are all the children of God by faith in Christ Jesus." 2Peter 3:9, "The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance." Believe the WHOLE Bible: Romans 9:1-15, "... Neither, because they are the seed of Abraham, are they all children: but, In Isaac shall thy seed be called. That is, They which are the children of the flesh, these are not the children of God: but the children of the promise are counted for the seed..."
Please pray and ask God, the one true God, to speak to your
mind and heart. Please, if we are called Christians, if we believe the Bible,
speak in love about the whole scripture. We are doing the people of the world a
disservice when we pick and choose!!!
