Past/Today

Good morning and happy Thursday. Wednesday night class at church we're studying the Book of Acts. It's how the church today is modeled. It's the beginning of the church and how it should be. We asked how each of the questions about the chapters we read applied to today and ourselves. It's amazing how similar the problems of their time are to problems of our time now. An ad on my phone app asked to meet sexy singles and if I was interested in male, female or both. That's what it's really come to? It was a problem in those times too. Paul wrote to the church of Corinth telling them the same thing as today about it. Men held disregard for women and made them objects. Not much has changed really. And so as I read and study the word deeper I see how Jesus addressed the issues of those days to leave no doubt as to how it fits today. We, the church have to come along side our brothers and sisters as they do with us as well, and help each other see the direction life should be going. We're not hear long and the time after here is never ending. Which one are you more concerned with, this vapor or eternity? It's a no brainer really, but some are blinded by what Satan whispers in their ears. We all have sin and give in to a whisper now and again, so don't see ourselves above reproach. We are all fallen and sin is sin. Only the blood of Jesus cleanses us of that and being a follower of Him is how that happens. When you follow Him you listen and hear Him without any "But I"'s being said. Decide today your side and get on it. Take your belief in what you feel is the right thing and make your stand. If it's right you will feel peace and comfort about it, but if you had to talk your way there, you already know the answer. Love on another sinner today. It'll make two sinners feel better. Make room for the Holy Spirit and allow Him to lead you. It's always the right way anyway. In love always. <><
