Morning Moments

(continued)

Habakkuk 3:2 - "O Lord, I have heard thy speech, and was afraid: O Lord, revive thy work...remember mercy"

Respect for the Word of God - "Thy speech"

Yesterday we saw that He has spoken regarding Purity, but we remain Polluted.

He speak regarding Doctrine, but we remain Divided - Through the years I have spoken in churches from Pentecostal Holiness to Presbyterian (I was Baptist), and I have seen God work in so many different denominations, but the division among Christians is ususally denominational doctrinal, not Divine doctrine. Let me explain: Men and women far more brilliant and holy than we have debated doctrinal differences, but the ONE doctrine that unites us as brothers and sisters, is NOT predestination, tongues, "eternal secutiry", "possibility of personal apostasy", sprikling, pouring, baptizing three times forward, and on and on - these are the "doctrines" that divide us. The doctrine that unites us is the Doctrin of Christ - He is God manifest in the flesh, and if you do not have that one you are doomed - and to have that doctrine (teaching), you MUST have HIM, not Sunday School, Morning Worship, Sunday Nite Service, a Gym, a tennis court, etc. etc.. It is JESUS that makes us one and He prayed to the Father that we might be one as He and the Father are ONE.

You may cling tenaciously to your denominational doctrine (even if it is Biblical), but remember this - we are brothers and sisters IN CHRIST and IN CHRIST only! God has spoken and we better listen.

God has Spoken regarding Babies, and we remain Butchers - ANYONE who calls himself/herself a Christian must value life as God values life and no baby killer will go unpunished. Let me be perfectly clear here - I understand the forgiveness of God - even for preachers, BUT until all Christians are united against abortion and stop the silly hypothetical reasoning, we will NOT have the approval of God on our lives or churches. ABORTION is MURDER!

One thing more today - GOD HAS SPOKEN - regarding His Power, but we remain puny - We create tidy little approaches to witnessing but JESUS SAID, "You shall receive POWER after that the Holy Spirit has come upon you, AND you shall be my WITNESSES. Let's face it folks, we have no trouble talking about politics, people, problems, or anything else, but when it comes to being an effective witness for Jesus are you telling me we need to take a course on "HOW TO"? Give me a break! You have the POWER TO WITNESS from the Holy Spirit who lives in you and you DO NOT need someone to teach you how to do it. Jeus said, "Follow me and you SHALL BE fishers of men." It is the same SHALL BE as with the Holy Spirit for witnessing.
