Good Evening. I want to spend what's left of my birthday today with you. How is everyone doing? May this listen touch you.
A church that cares not for truth is a community that rejects its very mission. The person who says, " I'm not interested in doctrine or theology," is not "of the truth". He or she has missed the voice of Jesus.
For the church to be the church, she must bow before her King and embrace the mission He has given to her. Yes, we desire a cultural reformation and a restoration of public morality. But that is secondary to and dependent on our mission to bear witness to the truth. Doctrine is important because its central concern is for an understanding of truth, without which there can be no godliness. It is the truth that sets us free, reforms our behavior, and defines us as disciples of Christ.
The world does not see or understand the city of God. It is a hidden city, a concealed kingdom.It is veiled by falsehood, by he who seeks to obscure the truth. The truth is that at this moment Jesus is the King of kings. This world is under His dominion. We are citizens in His realm. We must not negotiate or retreat from that affirmation. The kingdom of God comprises those people who believe what God says and obey when God commands.
I am here for you. I pray for your Salvation. May the touch of Christ fill you as you answer His knocking as you surrender to Him. For those who have their salvation in Christ it is always good every now and again to rededicate your life to and before Him.
May you have a special evening. In my prayers always. God Bless. Here if you need prayer and have prayer requests.
