Non-Christians cannot understand spiritual truths, and they cannot grasp the concept that God’s spirit lives in believers. Don’t expect most people to approve of or understand your decision to follow Christ. It all seems so silly to them. The person who rejects Christ cannot under stand truths from God’s spirit. With the lines of communication broken, he or she won’t be able to hear what God is saying to him or her. We must not remain silent, however, using others' difficulty in understanding as an excuse. We are still one of God’s communication channels. |

Jesus warned about God’s wrath for those who offend, abuse, or lead astray new Christians or hurt children in anyway. How appropriate such a warning is in this day when corruption enters our homes everyday in many television programs or on the internet.
While Christians must guard against physical abuse, they also must be aware of and work against the mental and spiritual corruption that unfiltered television and unsupervised internet surfing can bring. We need to remember - A church building is sometimes called God’s house. In reality, God’s household is not a building but a group of people. He lives in us and shows himself to a watching world through us. People can see that God is love and that Christ is Lord as we live in harmony with each other and in accordance with what God says in His word. We are citizens of God’s Kingdom and members of His household. As you focus on the other person and his or her needs, know that God will communicate your caring attitude. The Message of Christmas– God Loves You”
God entered human history in the person of Jesus Christ in order to tie the poor threads of our scrap of time back into eternity. God’s wide embrace includes you and me, for it was for the lost of this world that God sent Jesus so that we and our moment on history’s stage might be redeemed. You are locked into the embrace of God, an embrace that will never fail. In Jesus Christ, God has said, “I love you. You are mine.” |
