PRINCIPLES OF FAITH
It's about giving and not getting. Today we see so many so-called Christians seeking the things of the world. Cars, houses, money, relationships and many other things. It is all about the view of God that they carry in their hearts. And many are the preachers that preach “prosperity” sermons that tickle the ears but deny God's truths.
That is why I am not a great supporter for the corporate church, but that is grist for the mill another day.
Love is the cornerstone an foundation of our faith (Matthew 22:37-40), and that is the thing that is needed to be understood concerning our Walk Of Faith, do we walk in love. Of course I do mean walking in the wisdom of love, and not this weak and flimsy thing that many consider is the love wherewith God speaks of.
We need to walk in THAT love at all times.
The Israelites died in the desert, a whole generation, when they were freed from Egypt. Why? Because they were complaining, equivocating, and generally cursing their luck of freedom before the throne of God. Their complaint? They had it better in Egypt when they were slaves!
Really? So back breaking labor, death, and being someone's property were okay, because hey, you ate better!
Many today are slaves to this world even as they claim kinship with God. The seek the things that they deem are prosperity items, the toys of the world, to show they are somebody. Being God's child isn't enough, you had MORE when you were in the world!
Really? Eternal life, assured salvation, God having your back and such, DOES NOT come from walking in the world. But maybe you sure ate good!
Be blessed, be loved and be at peace. May God's glory and presence fire the brilliance of your souls, for you are greatly loved indeed.
