Subject: The Teacher and His teachings? |
Bible Note: Great references Emmaus, but I don't think you should get off that easy! Certainly one can be "civic" minded and feed the hungry, provide for the poor,etc. but is THIS following Jesus or following His teachings? My questions are, of course, meant to be introspective. Too many times I see people "doing good" as if to rack up "brownie points" (I'm showing my age here)in Heaven, if that were possible! Jesus said, "Apart from ME you can do nothing." (John 15:5) I suspect that many of our churches are filled with big hearted people who are doing what the Lord says, but don't know the Lord. Blessings, mommapbs |
