John 13:35 "By this everyone will know that you are my disciples, if you love one another.”
Where is the love? huh? Seriously people of God??? Where is the LOVE?
I am so righteously aggravated right now I can't even describe. I pop onto facebook and scroll down my "news feed" and see so much judgmental posts between different groups of believers...it (simply put) BLOWS MY MIND! Oh, and of course, every one of them "knows" they are absolute in their theology - this I am certain, justifying their public display of "family verbal bashing". (not)
This is totally wrong. This is not acceptable. Brothers and sisters, we seriously need to take a step into the bathroom an look in the mirror and realize that Holy Spirit resides in us. While we are at it, we need to reconsider the person of Jesus/Yeshua/YHWH and all that HE is and all that HE stands for.
The purpose of the sacrifice of the Lamb of G-d. Reconciliation of man (you and me and EVERYONE else) to G-d.
We must take heed lest we become as the pharisees and end up on the judgment seat using the law and our own righteousness as a measuring stick. For we will surely fall short!
We must, absolutely must remember why G-d sent His only begotten Son to earth....to die for our sins!!! That is to be able, once again to have a relationship with mankind. NOT - so mankind could follow every letter of the law to the T or be kicked out of eternity.
It's our job, (also known as the great commission) to share in LOVE - this beautiful - powerful - life saving - changing - truth.
Every moment we spend criticizing others, especially those in the body of Christ, is only stealing
away time that we should be and could have spent sharing the love of G-d with a lost soul or a
prodigal child of the Lord.
Also --- May the Lord have mercy on us -- - we ARE HIS Body and what we do to the least of these (say or do) we do to HIM.Matthew 25:40 "‘Truly I tell you, whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers and sisters of mine, you did for me."
Honestly - - - to answer the --- Where is the LOVE?
The TRUTH....it should be in US...most of us would say it is..from what I see on facebook...I'm not so sure.
( I will probably loose allot of fb'friends for being so bold.....so be it. a watchman is a watchman)
When we call each other, (fellow brothers and sister's in the Body of Christ) pagans and heathens or on the flip side - legalistic - anti-grace extremists; we are eating right out of SATAN'S hand. We are playing into Satan's master plan. Every time we talk about each other in the body of Christ negatively and when we publicly disrespect each other.
Our enemy chants, "Divide and conquer."
Matthew12:25 But Jesus said to them: “Every kingdom divided against itself is brought to desolation, and every city or house divided against itself will not stand." & Luke 11:17 But He,[Jesus] said to them: “Every kingdom divided against itself is brought to desolation, and a house divided against a house falls."
You know something? There isn't anything wrong with sharing knowledge. If we think we have the truth.
Share in love.
Why is it so hard for us to see that we are being used to sow seeds of division among the body and while doing this the world, those we are supposed to be reaching with the gospel of peace and eternal life, THIS world is watching us and turning away with eyes of disgust.
Lord help us...love each other....love YOU in each other.
