Bible Note: Jesified In this we agree. I think one of the things is causing so much trouble is how we treat scripture. The church has got to focus on the whole Bible, the whole intent and stop looking for a verse of scripture here or there to prove a point. God through out scripture has assured us that He will care for those the trust in Him. Whether He heals us of a disease or gives us the strength to endure the disease, whether we are filthy rich or have merely enough to meet our needs God has promised never to leave us or forsake us. If we trust in Him and Him alone all things will work out to our best interest. It is Faith in God, and God alone that is important and this is what should be believed, taught and preached. It should not be not faith in what God will do for us, or what God will give us, that is currently being preached. If God did nothing else for humanity what He already has done is worthy of all praise and glory. If it would be that not another Christian ever got healed or ever got rich, God would still be God and still worthy of worship. God is love, not someone with deep pockets or being a super physician. Love isn’t spoiling a child by giving him everything or making life easy. Love God’s love is doing what is best for the child, seeing them through process that refines them like pure gold. Without that refining we would contain many impurities that would make us worth less. EdB |
