Who is Jesus? What is the church? Do we allow denomination or non-denominational affiliation dictate
our relationship or our non-relationship with Jesus? You and I need
a relationship with Jesus. You and I are to live lives that are acceptable to Jesus. We need to throw off our own selfish
reasons for the work that we do and do our work so that it will meet the approval of Jesus. When
SELF takes over, Jesus walks out. Paul warns us in Romans 1 especially in verse 25: "Who
changed the truth of God into a lie, and worshipped and served the creature, more then the creator, who is blessed forever,
Amen (KJV) Paul, writing to the church at Ephesus states Ephesians
2:-8-9 "For by grace are ye saved, through faith, and not of yourselves; it is the gift of God. vs
9: Not of works, lest any man should boast." Friends,
let's get the dust of our BIBLES and start reading and putting into practice the teachings
of Jesus. Please do not let OUR
church affiliation affect OUR relationship with Christ and with our fellow Christians. You can be a Christian, where
you are. We have to be able to greet each other "in Christ" and love each other "in Christ"
Many of us are familiar with the account of Babel
in the Old Testament. You can click on the high-lighted topics for further information. According to Genesis 11:1-9, mankind, after the deluge, travelled
from the mountain of the East, where the ark had rested, and settled in 'a plain in the land of Shinar' (or Sennar). Here, they attempted to build a city and a tower whose top might reach unto Heaven, the Tower of Babel. Here is a question for consideration.
Are we just babeling?
You must be "Born Again".
Please consider the following scripture and give us your view point. Are they relevant for our
topic?? 1 Corinthians 3:4-5..For while one
saith, I am of Paul and another saith, I am of Apollos; are ye not carnal? VS 5..Who then is Paul
and who then is Apollos, but ministers by whom ye believed, even as the Lord gave to every man. (KJV)
Romans 10:12..For there is
no difference between the Jew and The Greek: for the same Lord over all is rich unto all who call upon him.. VS
13..For whosoever shall call upon the Lord shall be saved..
Could we say today, There is no difference between denominations or non-denominations or Religious
group????? Take time to consider and to pray and let The Holy Spirit lead us into all truth. Do we have our own AGENDA or is it God's
AGENDA that we have in our own individual denominations. Take yourself of the agenda and put God in charge.
Jesus said Matthew 18: 2,3,4
"Jesus called a little child unto him and set him in the midst of them, and said, verily, I say unto you, except ye be
converted, and become as little children, ye shall not enter the kingdom of heaven. Whosoever therefore shall humble himself
as this little child, the same is greatest in the kingdom of heaven...Have you allowed God to humble you??? Blessings
