Unity Requires Glue

Ephesians 4:2-3 (KJV)

[2] With all lowliness and meekness, with longsuffering, forbearing one another in love; [3] Endeavouring to keep the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace.

Unity: the bonding of many into one-thus a Union.

By This

John 13:35 (KJV)

[35] By this shall all men know that ye are my disciples, if ye have love one to another.

The Single Universal Evidence That “All Men” Will Know That You’re a Disciple of Christ

Yet It Is The Single Most Overlooked Trait of Christianity, That is Last To Be Displayed!

•    We Preach

•    We Dress

•    We Talk

•    We Defend

Yet Too Often As Not We Fail To Love One Another… Love is more than an emotion i.e.  a garment I can put on.

It Is A Commitment… “I Can’t Put On What’s In Me”

I Don’t Only Love When I Feel Like It - I Love You Because I’m Committed!

By this shall all men know that ye are my disciples.

Consequences

Matthew 24:39 (KJV)

[39] And knew not until the flood came, and took them all away; so shall also the coming of the Son of man be.

Consequences - The results and or effects of an action… Consequences Have the Ability to Clear Up Your Vision but Unfortunately Only Looking Behind…

The Generations of Man Seem to Never Change - Noah’s To Jesus’s. The Consequence is Still The Same… “so shall also the coming of the Son of man be.”

What Are You Doing Today, to Change The Consequences?

Freedom

Genesis 4:5 (KJV)

[5] But unto Cain and to his offering he had not respect. And Cain was very wroth, and his countenance fell.

[13] And Cain said unto the LORD, My punishment is greater than I can bear.

Cain Had The Freedom To Do Whatever He Wanted… But Had No Freedom of The Consequences…

Whether Freedom To Live Spiritually or As An American - Freedom Comes At A Cost Which We Have The Freedom To Pay!

But… The Consequences Are God’s!

Be Free and Celebrate But Remember There Will Be Consequences… Possibly Not in your control!

Modern Day Christianity

2 Kings 17:33 (KJV)

[33] They feared the LORD, and served their own gods, after the manner of the nations whom they carried away from thence.

A Paradox of Untold Proportions…

Fear The Lord and Still Serve Your Own Gods!

Kind of Like Going To Church and Still Sinning…

Kind of Like Claiming to be a Christian and still Cussing…

Kind of Like Praying on Sunday and Drinking on Monday…

Modern Day Christianity Is Like Looking For a Needle in The Haystack to Find Christ!

When People See You

Do They See Christ?

Do They Feel Christ?

Or-

Are We A Paradox of Untold Proportions?

Christian definition is - Christ-Like or To Be Like Christ!

Is There A Spirit of Repentance?

Luke 19:8-9 (KJV)

[8] And Zacchaeus stood, and said unto the Lord; Behold, Lord, the half of my goods I give to the poor; and if I have taken any thing from any man by false accusation, I restore him fourfold.

[9] And Jesus said unto him, This day is salvation come to this house, forsomuch as he also is a son of Abraham.

The Answer Is Yes!

Never Forget That The 1st Step To God Is “Repentance”

True Repentance Causes Men to Do Drastic Things…to make things right!

The Things That Zacchaeus Was Doing Are Actually Things We Try And Get Christians To Do.

And He Was Doing It - Before Salvation and The Day of Pentecost!

Yes…There Is A Spirit of Repentance.

One Decision Can Make a Difference

2 Timothy 1:5 (KJV)

[5] When I call to remembrance the unfeigned faith that is in thee, which dwelt first in thy grandmother Lois, and thy mother Eunice; and I am persuaded that in thee also.

*The unbelievable power when one person makes a decision of Faith, it cannot be measured, and its tremendous ability to be passed down.

Somehow, Faith has the ability to be passed down to the next generation.

Salvation must be an individual commitment!

Whereas Faith exampled, and its power can be contagious!

What one decision can do, and make a difference for many generations.

Make the one decision today that will absolutely affect your whole family! Have Faith in God!
