God speaks today Sunday | June 9, 2024
But ye that did cleave unto the LORD your God are alive every one of you this day.
(Deuteronomy 4:4)Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye pay tithe of mint and anise and cummin, and have omitted the weightier matters of the law, judgment, mercy, and faith: these ought ye to have done, and not to leave the other undone.
(Matthew 23:23) Invitation to fidelity
In these times, many people are not committed to the transcendent unless they can see clear benefits. Everything seems ephemeral and people do not want ties that marginalize them from their selfish desires. The noble soul of man and woman who follow Christ mourns every day because true convictions and values seem to have died. However, we can collaborate with God to transform the world. Without God at the center of all things, man's recipes to improve the world remain lacking.
Faith, fidelity, is lacking. If we faint as Christians before the advance of the secularization of society, we fall into a litany with no "à la carte" answers. To make a good contribution, we must also oppose garland theology and verbiage, and embrace faith in terms of loyalty and steadfastness in what we do and who we are.
If we want revival, we must first enliven our faith. It is impossible to give life acting as if we were dead, or worse, giving the appearance of living with a vocation towards the neighbor in need of God and on the other hand make the decision to jump the pond to satisfy personal ambitions and serve God where He does not need us. Faithfulness to God is life. Perseverance produces a genuine spiritual sense of service to God, where He has called us to His glory.
To those who have focused their lives from faith, a reminder: Be faithful, remain, root yourself in your consistencies until death! God has not lost control!
