Bottom Line.....
See you if can figure it out.....The Bottom Line that is :)
1 “Not everyone who says to me, ‘Lord, Lord!’ will enter the Kingdom of Heaven, only those who do what my Father in heaven wants. 22 On that Day, many will say to me, ‘Lord, Lord! Didn't we prophesy in your name? Didn't we expel demons in your name? Didn't we perform many miracles in your name?’23 Then I will tell them to their faces, ‘I never knew you! Get away from me, you workers of lawlessness!"
4 Love is patient and kind, not jealous, not boastful,
5 not proud, rude or selfish, not easily angered,
and it keeps no record of wrongs.
6 Love does not gloat over other people’s sins
but takes its delight in the truth.
7 Love always bears up, always trusts,
always hopes, always endures.

John 14:15
“If you love me, you will keep my commands;
Matthew 22:36-40
“Sir, which is the most important command in the laws of Moses?”
37 Jesus replied, “‘Love the Lord your God with all your heart, soul, and mind.’38-39 This is the first and greatest commandment. The second most important is similar: ‘Love your neighbor as much as you love yourself.’ 40 All the other commandments and all the demands of the prophets stem from these two laws and are fulfilled if you obey them. Keep only these and you will find that you are obeying all the others.”
1 Corinthians 13
1 I may speak in the tongues of men, even angels;
but if I lack love, I have become merely
blaring brass or a cymbal clanging.
but if I lack love, I have become merely
blaring brass or a cymbal clanging.
2 I may have the gift of prophecy,
I may fathom all mysteries, know all things,
have all faith — enough to move mountains;
but if I lack love, I am nothing.
I may fathom all mysteries, know all things,
have all faith — enough to move mountains;
but if I lack love, I am nothing.
3 I may give away everything that I own,
I may even hand over my body to be burned;
but if I lack love, I gain nothing.

6 Love does not gloat over other people’s sins
but takes its delight in the truth.
7 Love always bears up, always trusts,
always hopes, always endures.
8 Love never ends;
but prophecies will pass,
tongues will cease, knowledge will pass.
9 For our knowledge is partial, and our prophecy partial;
10 but when the perfect comes, the partial will pass.
10 but when the perfect comes, the partial will pass.
11 When I was a child, I spoke like a child,
thought like a child, argued like a child;
now that I have become a man,
I have finished with childish ways.

now that I have become a man,

12 For now we see obscurely in a mirror,
but then it will be face to face.
Now I know partly; then I will know fully,
just as God has fully known me.

Now I know partly; then I will know fully,
just as God has fully known me.
13 But for now, three things last —
trust, hope, love;
and the greatest of these is love.

For those who made it ALL the way through this blog post and still have yet to figure out what the "Bottom Line" is....let me give you a *hint*
It's LOVE
Yes....LoVe...like the BEATLES hit song from the 60's?
(*see below for song & lyrics*)
Nah, not the song...lol...but still seems the Beatles were on to something - all we really need IS LOVE.

We need the Corinthian 13 kinda LOVE alive in our life.
We need to LOVE others, like G-d loves us.
IN THIS we will be doing exactly what the Father wants us to do then we will come to KNOW the Messiah personally...and we can rest assured when we see Messiah on judgment day He will not say,
"I never knew you! Get away from me, you workers of lawlessness!"

Sometimes you just gotta say whats on your mind
I cannot escape it. I try but cannot. It is everywhere. In every family. In all the churches and synagogues. In the work places. In government. Un-forgiveness. Bitterness. Pride. Hatred. All going unrecognized or worse yet, it is worn like a badge of "righteous" recompense, revenge or vengeance. Which ever seems to fit the bill best at the time - in our own eyes.
Well G-d is many things - the one thing HE IS NOT is filled with HATE. So if you are harboring any unforgiveness towards ANYONE or have HATE in your heart for anyone, don't think for a second you can talk up your love for G-d. It doesn't work that way folks!
James put it this way, "Whoever claims to love God yet hates a brother or sister is a liar. For whoever does not love their brother and sister, whom they have seen, cannot love God, whom they have not seen. 21 And he has given us this command: Anyone who loves God must also love their brother and sister." (1 James 4:21)
Don't even get me started on the forgiveness issue!
Am I saying I am perfect? NO! I am not!
Am I saying that it's always easy? NO! Absolutely NOT!
Believe me...when I say I know THIS ONE first hand...many times over!!!!
However, that is why we have the Ruach Hakodesh/Holy Spirit - to HELP US.
What I am saying is that I am so overwhelmed by all the hate that is overrunning this world - even within the Body of Messiah and in our own homes...that I think it would do us well to check ourselves.
I mean....
Let's think about it.
How many different social medias are there out there?
There are folks out there sharing their deepest desires and greatest fears with a world of strangers. Yet they won't even talk to their own G-d given family members. WHATS wrong with that picture?
There are believers (not talking about those in the world who don't know better) calling into customer service screaming and using language only befitting a drunken sailor, over nothing. WHATS wrong with that?
There are secret sins ( (pornography, adultery, money laundering & the likes) allowed to continue until forced out by default, within the highest ranks of leadership in government, schools and even our churches and synagogues.
This is huge! The line in the sand dividing good from evil and the righteous from the unrighteous has widen into a cavern far to deep to cross. Yet still, it is not obvious enough to the majority of church going Christians in this the land of plenty where we live which side of line to choose!
Seriously?!?
I personally find this astounding as well as completely heartbreaking.
This is why I am writing this blog post.
Timothy spoke of the days we are living in and I am speaking of, in one of his letters to the early church. You can find it in full in your Bible.
These vrs were taken from 2 Timothy 3Complete Jewish Bible (CJB)
"Moreover, understand this: in the acharit-hayamim will come trying times. People will be self-loving, money-loving, proud, arrogant, insulting, disobedient to parents, ungrateful, unholy, heartless, unappeasable, slanderous, uncontrolled, brutal, hateful of good, traitorous, headstrong, swollen with conceit, loving pleasure rather than God, as they retain the outer form of religion but deny its power."
I would like to say in closing,
If you do not have perfect Shalom (peace) right now.
If you do not know for sure that you will be with the LORD if you were to close your eyes tonight and never wake up again.
Well, then it's time, right now....to come home.
If you are hearing a voice in your head telling you that you still have time. It's the deceiver. He's lying to you. You really don't.
Shalom
