Truth in Love – blog entry

Wednesday, April 03, 2013

If we do not listen to the advice and the counsel of God’s Word, of our spiritual advisors, or our elders we will find ourselves trapped by chains that bind us, strongholds that control us.

Do not waste your energy on anger it will keep you from coming up with a productive plan for how to deal with your situation.

God gave us freedom, with freedom comes responsibility. We have the freedom to do whatever we want to do, we have the freedom to go wherever we want to go, we have the freedom to choose whatever we want to choose; but perhaps, the greatest freedom is knowing you have freedom and choosing to remain. To remain faithful, to remain obedient, to remain a servant to the One True Master.

Love is more stern and splendid than mere kindness. C.S. Lewis.

It is not enough just to acknowledge or accept what God is telling you; you must surrender to the Truth found in what He has reveled to you or told you or instructed you to do.

The lie of detached disinterest is the hallmark of our society and a lie from the pit of hell meant to destroy the very fabric of human relationships.

Spiritual/Political Disclaimer:

This blog will not be for the faint of heart or the easily offended. It will not be in any way politically correct. It will make every effort to share the truth in love, [Ephesians 4:11-16], to a decaying and dying society and church. I share what I share not to hurt, harm, or offend any person[s] or group; I do it because Christ’s Standard and Truth is not being represented by enough of His Followers and I do it out of love. I love enough to tell His Truth.

Ephesians 4:11-16 NKJV

¹¹And He Himself gave some to be apostles, some prophets, some evangelists, and some pastors and teachers, ¹²for the equipping of the saints for the work of ministry, for the edifying of the body of Christ, ¹³till we all come to the unity of the faith and of the knowledge of the Son of God, to a perfect man, to the measure of the stature of the fullness of Christ; ¹⁴that we should no longer be children, tossed to and fro and carried about with every wind of doctrine, by the trickery of men, in the cunning craftiness of deceitful plotting, ¹⁵but, speaking the truth in love, may grow up in all things into Him who is the head—Christ— ¹⁶from whom the whole body, joined and knit together by what every joint supplies, according to the effective working by which every part does its share, causes growth of the body for the edifying of itself in love.
