What is your relationship with Jesus Christ? What are your values as a Christian?

 Good morning all. God is good all the time, all the time God is good. TOO BLESSED TO  BE STRESSED!!!!

   Life is so interesting.  Today, Nov. 3, there will be people doing a last minute push for the candidate of their choice.  What is scary to me is that there are a lot of Christians who do not look at their Christian values, but vote straight party, I don't care if it is democrat or republican, they should vote THEIR VALUES AS A CHRISTIAN!

   10 times more babies have been "murdered" in the name of abortion than Jews that were killed in the holocaust.  6 million Jews were killed, over 60 million babies have been sacrificed since Rowe vs Wade.  Can you live with that?

   Our constitution gives us the right of the 2nd amendment, to bear arms.  90 years ago the arms were taken away from the people in Germany and you know how that turned out.

  Socialism or Communism is supposed to be "for the people", however, look at the countries that went that way.  It is the "haves" and the "have nots", no inbetween.

  And we could go on.  Then, we come to the church and are we truly in a relationship with Jesus Christ?  OR........OR.......are we just doing lip service?

  Oh, yeah, I know Jesus, was baptized, and go to church most Sundays.  And you think this will gain you jewels in your crown and get you to heaven? I would have to say "Heaven--no; Hell-yes".

   Paul tells us in Philippians 3: 2 Beware of dogs, beware of evil workers, beware of the concision.

   Here Paul is talking about the false doctrine pushers (dogs) who are still pushing for circumcision as part of the means of being saved.   Beware of evil workers--ones who spread false narratives. And beware of the concision.  When God made the covenant with Abraham part of that was the circumcision.  Once Jesus Christ came, this was no longer necessary.  However, some in the new church of Jesus Christ said you still needed to follow this ritual.  When Paul says beware of the concision he is saying this is not of the law, but this is a physical mutalization of the body and is not necessary.

  Paul tells us if we lose everything here on earth but have Jesus Christ as our savior we have gain.  If you have time read Philippians 3 to see what Paul says.

    Just be alert, think logically not emotionally, and do the right thing.  I'll leave you with this.  Heard a tv preacher tell the story of he only had $5000 to his name, ended up giving $3000 to the church (God) and then he was blessed beyond belief and gained more money than the 5k he started with.  Then, he said if you want to be blessed, he only needed 300 people to call in and commit to 1,000 dollars each and they would be blessed.  What do you think?

  Last point, if a carpenter took 47 years at building your house and then asked to have 4 more years would you keep him? Hmm! Points to ponder. Love you all.

Pray for America, our president, congress, and leaders around the world.  

In Christ's Love and Grace
