2 Timithy 23-26
Have nothing to do with foolish, ignorant controversies; you know that they breed quarrels. And the Lord's servant[e] must not be quarrelsome but kind to everyone, able to teach, patiently enduring evil, correcting his opponents with gentleness. God may perhaps grant them repentance leading to a knowledge of the truth, and they may come to their senses and escape from the snare of the devil, after being captured by him to do his will.
Shalom and Good Morning:
This morning I wanted to bring to your attention some things that have been going and what it does. In the recent days were seeing the rise of news stories that are showing us images and pictures of Hate groups and politics that are inflaming people to act out.
These stories and images are inflaming people to emotions and choosing a side for which they relate to or about. As a believer in Yeshua Hamoshiach ( Jesus Christ) we are also chosen to be a soldier as well in Gods army and choose a side too. However the side were to choose is of this. To choose to pray for those people who are causing the break down of our society. To choose to not to engage in these injustice type of behaviors or even argue about them, even if we can relate to one side or the other.
To use the bible as our go to for our actions , it is our rock , it is our example to display kidness and love to our enemies . To be gentle and seek a Godly peace for ourselves and others.
We also need to be aware of the wolves in sheep's clothing too. The wolves will hide behind the scene waiting for its time. It will say wonderful things to sound great and very loving but remember and always know that anything said and done has to be tested to know its fruit. A good tree cannot bare bad fruit. So if someting is said by anyone or political or even faith based teacher, that sounds nice and wonderful but inflames you to foolishness as the bible talks about , you must know that person is not from God.
Have a great day! God is merciful and He is awesome and His grace is sufficient, however , He is serious and HOLY. So dont waste your day. Dont let the foolishness of this world cause you a distraction away from GOD. Keep your eyes looking towards Heaven and the Kingdom of it. Amen!
Avodah
