Relationship Not Rules!
Why is it that so many people say churches are filled with hypocrites? Is it because people of the church say don’t do this or that and then when you look on Friday night they are doing the same this or that. Yes, but I am here to let you know we are all broken and church is just another place filled with broken people. Our lives are not centered on Christ to point fingers. Our lives are centered on Him so that we can love. Love is a strong word but it is not taught well in these times, by the world and much less by the church. There is discipline in love, there is strength in love. As Christians we do not tolerate when someone lives wrong, we pray for them and if they allow us we pray with them. Our relationships are what help mold our hearts for God. As Priests of the Most High our love is not based on what we get in return, we have more than enough from Jesus. Our aim is to reach out to those who feel like they have no one or that there is no God. So many Christians doubt the trueness Of Christ because life is tough. Times will be hard and will get harder. However, this is not where we finish nor is it where we become complete. God promises us paradise, something we cannot even imagine. Relational ministry is what Jesus is about. It means reaching out to those who are lost, but even more so reaching out to our brothers and sisters in Christ who do not realize they are still bound even though they are “saved.” The book of Romans was written by Paul to believers about being slaves to sin, because this world and Satan cannot contend with Priests who are obedient to the Word of God. I pray that those of you who read this and are saved, will desire more than a statement of faith, rather you would want to take up your cross so people can see that your Refuge and Fortress are built into the Rock!(Christ), and not sand! Amen and Amen!
