JESUS IS THE ANSWER

Dear Readers,

It's irony...what are we fighting for....FREEDOM!!!!
Now, let me ask you FREEDOM; FREEDOM from WHAT????
Don't ever mix religion with politics....and yet so many politickings...
in government, in work, in school , you can say ;well everywhere.
Freedom to do what we think is right , freedom only for our right....
freedom to be under the captive of the " evil ones ", ( WHAT!!!! - DO YOU REALLY THINK OR CALL THAT FREEDOM?? -THINK!, MY FRIEND, THINK!),who is always the cause of confusion and conflicts, disillusions and all the likes.
What do you understand to be your " Religion?"
In general, we know all know, religions teaches us to be " Good."
Now, what do you understand by " GOOD?." There is NONE that is Good, saves GOD, HIMSELF.
If you said that you have no sin, then you make God a liar.
For in Roms 3:23 ...God said all of us are sinners. " For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God." And again in
Roms 6:23: For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord."
If we claimed our religion is true, then why do you have conflicts with your brothers and sisters in this world?
True religion is undefiled, it is pure , peaceable, and caring for the poor, the weak , the lame , the blind.
If your religion is great, proof it by your good works.
As long as you do harm to anyone, you are already guilty.
We must be above board, do not succumb to the wickedness of this world,
do that which is right, without partiality.
For not many who claimed that they have done nothing wrong, can enter into the kingdom of God.
Neither, many who claimed to know Jesus, and said, " Lord, Lord , is fit for the kingdom of God. Who are you? I do not know you. If you know me you would not have shown partiality and mistreat the fatherless, the widow, the sick, the lame and the weak. For you serve me only with your lips, but your " Hearts " is far away from me.
If, you said you love me, then show your love to all the " Little " ones,
the fatherless, the widows, the weak, the lame , the blind etc.
As long as you did it to these, you DID IT FOR ME.
WHATEVER YOU DO, DO IT ALL FOR THE GLORY OF GOD. AMEN.
May the Lord indeed OPEN our EYES and EARS, and our HEARTS to the understanding of HIS WORDS.
Give GOD the GLORY!!!! Amen.

JOHN 3:16- FOR GOD SO LOVE THE WORLD, THAT HE GAVE HIS ONLY BEGOTTEN SON, THAT WHOSOEVER BELIEVETH IN HIM SHALL NOT PERISH, BUT HAVE EVERLASTING LIFE.

Dear Readers,

I am prompted to write on our " Hearts ", as this was the topic of my discussion with one badminton " Ka -kee " ( buddy ).
He was commenting that whatever a person belief, is good or true, if his 'heart" is good. However, there is a person whom he believe is good, except for his " mouth." - ( which I take it to mean that, he expresses himself badly ). Perhaps, he is referring to the lack of tactfulness or words that this person used, causes hurts in others' feelings.
As, he was speaking in dialect, I had quite a difficulty to comprehend fully what he is driving at. In addition, I find it difficult to convey to him as well, as I couldn't interprete or translate it to his " lingo."
Nevertheless, I must said, he carried his own perception of things, and feels that the "heart" is the main differenciation of ones goodness.
But, I couldn't quite agree with him, with regards to the fact that he claims that, he knows of a person who is good and yet, speaks " badly."
Whatever comes out of the mouth is what that defile the person, and this is what the Lord had spoken.
But, this doesn't mean that the person is " bad", as it could be a misunderstanding or wrong perception construed by the fact of a lack of knowledge or understanding.
However, if a persons heart is " Good ", then, logically, whatever he says should be " good." - ( Looking towards the welfare of others.)
But, in reality this is not so. At times, whatever we said or do, may not complement each other; that is, we tends to said the right thing, but we may not actually do it, or we may do the opposite.
Hence, most of the time we tends to not " Walk the talk."
This is our human weakness - hence, the usual phrase:- " To err is human."
The important point to note is that we need not take it to heart on a particular person inability to fulfil what he said or do at times, unless, it's detrimental to the society or community.
Let us learn to be more gracious and forgiving, and encourage the person on the right path. Instruct and give good advice and even admonishment if necessary, but be humble and cherish each other in the bond of love.
Let us have a HEART that is TRUE, seeking for the GOODNESS of others, always forgiving and loving one another.
ASK THE LORD TO CREATE IN US A PURE HEART , A HEART THAT SEEKS AFTER GOD.
AMEN.

JOHN 13:34,35 - A NEW COMMANDMENT I GIVE TO YOU, THAT YOU LOVE ONE ANOTHER; AS I HAVE LOVE YOU, THAT YOU ALSO LOVE ONE ANOTHER.
BY THIS SHALL ALL KNOW THAT YOU ARE MY DISCIPLES, IF YOU HAVE LOVE ONE FOR ANOTHER.
