So after He had washed their feet,
and had taken His garments, and was
set down again, He said unto them,
Know ye what I have done to you?
Ye call Me Master and Lord: and ye say well;
for so I am. If I then, your Lord and Master,
have washed your feet; ye also ought to wash
one another's feet. For I have given you an example,
that ye should do as I have done to you.
Verily, verily, I say unto you, the servant
is not greater than his lord; neither he that
is sent greater than he that sent him.
If ye know these things, happy are ye
if ye do them.
John 13:12-17
I must apologize for not writing yesterday as I had business all day long. But time spent driving and being alone gave me time to reflect on what I have been blogging and do what I might say today. These blogs and the current state of the condition of Christianity are dim and in some cases deplorable yet not in all cases, there is much fine Christian work being done all over the world.present of country western song that says "give me 40 acres and I'll turn this rig around," and at times it seemed the same way as making any changes especially those that have deep roots in to ideologies and theologies of people are unwilling to examine and if found faults give up. It is not just the current state of Christianity that so often as deplorable because these deplorable things can be and are being produced by other belief systems be it religious or not even if they advocate a positive morality and if they had the ability to enforce its laws. Unfortunately, these systems fail in the most important aspect of human nature and the inability of men and women to hold fast to those moral precepts and have a need for a higher power that can assist us in their weaknesses. There are those of who seek a higher power to assist them in their weaknesses and unfortunately fall under theologies of such as prosperity theology, healing theologies, and other emotional outbursts that are built upon euphoria reddened in the Word of God. Authentic Christianity has no equal. Authentic Christianity teaches the highest moral and ethical code that has ever been known to man and the only way for a man to have themselves in Howard to keep those precepts to reach out for a higher morality and an ethical code is only through a deep and developed relationship with the creator of the code and to have it empowered by the Holy Spirit.
Here is the most important fact to be remembered: Jesus Christ NEVER insist on having authority for he leaves us perfectly free to do what ever we so desire to do even if it means to spit upon him That. Jesus never stop them for putting him at that to death. This deep relationship that Authentic Christians develop is only created an eight person by the redemption of Jesus Christ. If you have been great being you won't as I recognize that it does have the right to have absolute authority over you. I hear is this important point: it is a moral domination! I never says take a bus ticket car take a plane if you're on your way to some destination you get to choose. God doesn't say go to this job at job goal by this dress by the shirt by the shoes do this or do that in everyday life. No! You are free to choose! Unfortunately until Jesus Christ returns and takes is home to be with him and gives us that new incorruptible body we are still unworthy and this causes us not to recognize his worthiness and to bow down to Him. Authentic Christians if they desire to change from the inside/out to make a change in the current state of affairs of Christianity must come under the domination of Jesus Christ and when this is done your whole attitude of life is one of obedience to Him. This obedience is the first That must be taken if there is a change in the current state affairs of Christianity and bring Christianity back under the teachings of the Bible. Jesus Christ and never insist on obedience for if he did he would become our taskmaster and taskmasters do not have absolute authority over a person. Even though Jesus does not insist on obedience is when we come into this relationship with Him that we obey Him instantly. How can a person live in adoration of Jesus Christ from morning until night in less Jesus Christ has the utmost and priority relationship? You cannot grow in grace until you have grown in obedience to go hand in hand. Today the word obedience has a negative connotation but obedience is only possible between equals. Jesus Christ as the son of God was obedient as the Redeemer because He was Son, not to be Son do is obedience no because he is the Only Begotten Son of God.
Authentic Christianity is one that is powerfully constituted to promote the welfare and health of a nation, a political communities. Why is that? Here is a reality: all of the systems are rooted in human selfishness, they are conceived in selfishness, grow in selfishness, and, ultimately, perish because of selfishness.the current state of affairs in Christianity does not have to be a permanent state of affairs that is dim and deplorable. Authentic Christians are the ones who make the difference and make the change cost to society be better, causing their congregations to be better causing their families to be better and teaching the children to be better. It all first begins at home and at first begins with you and your priorities. Today is the day? Change from the inside/out, consider your faith!
Wilt thou truth Him, because His strength is good?
or wilt thou leave thy labour with Him?
Wilt thou believe Him, that He will bring
home thy seed, and gather it into thy barn?
Job 39:11-12
Consider Your Faith! Change from the Inside/Out
