LIVE BY LOVE, NOT HATE

If a philosophy or religion lives in opposition to the words of Jesus, “Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself,” it is not of God. “God is love and he that dwelleth in love, dwelleth in God and God in him.”

Living motivated, driven by hate is opposite to the Christian Faith. Jesus said,  “If a man says that he loves God and hates his brother he is a liar…”

If controlling the actions and lives of people instead of giving freedom to choose, think and look for answers is the law of a philosophy or religion, then run from it.   

God says in the Bible, “Ask and it shall be given you. Seek and you shall find. Knock and the door will be opened to you.”

You can have this freedom, this love, this gracious love of God. The freedom to choose is yours. “You will seek me and find me when you search for me with all your heart; and I will be found of you.” The Bible is clear! You are loved. You are offered God’s salvation. You are free to choose.

“For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in Him should not perish, but have everlasting life.” John 3:16. Let it be your favorite thought and hope and promise today.

DO YOU KNOW JESUS?

“That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved.” Romans 10:9.

I was five years old. I crawled out of my lower bunk bed in our little room. My older sister on the top. I went into the “living room” with a double bed which was my parents' bedroom…Our little house had running water but an outhouse instead of a bathroom. I crawled into the bed beside my father and told him I was afraid. I wanted to be saved. He prayed something like this: “Heavenly Father, Elisabeth wants to receive You into her heart.” Then he said to me, “Pray after me: Dear Lord Jesus, I believe you died for my sins and rose again from the dead. Please come into my heart and save me.”

My father (an Evangelist) and wonderful mother were diligent to read all of the Bible to us (their eight children) every day…from beginning to end three times a day all through the years I we grew up. Their diligence also taught us music. We ended up for many years, traveling the US, Canada and a little in Mexico singing, playing instruments and my brothers dramatized Bible Stories.

I remember that night clearly.  Loving the Bible. Seriously pursuing growth in knowing God.

“But grow in grace, and in the knowledge of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. To him be glory both now and forever. Amen.” 2 Peter 3:18. Knowing Jesus is your privilege. Having the Creator, the Father, Son (Jesus) and the Holy Spirit dwelling in you. Heaven forever is your future after you die…

IF YOU DON'T BUY IT YOU WON'T EAT IT

 You can have a noticeable change in your health in ten days. It took Daniel, (recorded in the Book of Daniel in the Bible) and his three friends that long to prove that “things grown” are effective quickly (in Daniel 1:12).

If food by faith is a new thought for you, think of this: the journey of your life is a one-time opportunity to do the best you can, to search for the most wisdom you can find. You can become physically, spiritually, mentally all God created you to be!

The variety provided by our Creator is vast, from cows and sheep to grains and watermelon, nuts, broccoli, and squash…how about a focus on our health!

If we believe in an all-wise Creator, eating the right food makes sense. He made everything to be for the wellbeing of all humanity: our welfare, health, and our eternal salvation. He poured love into our world through the life, crucifixion, death, and resurrection of Jesus Christ, “The Way, the Truth and the Life….”

"And the very God of peace sanctify you wholly; and I pray God your whole spirit and soul and body be preserved blameless unto the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ." (I Thessalonians 5:23). Sanctified means set apart. Let faith be an adventure.
