Good morning everyone! God is good all the time, all the time God is good. TOO BLESSED TO BE STRESSED!!!
I am going to start with John 3:16-21. Everyone knows 3:16 God so loved the world that he gave his only Son to save the world.
I will highlight some to talk about. But, let us look deeper into this. Here are all the verses:
John 3: 16 For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life. This is what we all hear and believe.
17 For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but to save the world through him. So often we forget this verse and it is extremely important- not condemning but saving.
18 Whoever believes in him is not condemned, but whoever does not believe stands condemned already because they have not believed in the name of God’s one and only Son. This should strike fear in many, however, too many believe that they live life and are good and all will be well. Then they just cease to exist. Huh? Yep, some believe that.
19 This is the verdict: Light has come into the world, but people loved darkness instead of light because their deeds were evil. Look around, shootings, killings, snatch and run looters, and more. Yes, many have gone to the dark side; satan is working very hard, sometimes I think harder that we Christians to spread the word. Your take?
20 Everyone who does evil hates the light, and will not come into the light for fear that their deeds will be exposed. Isn't this so true. All the schemes to defraud people, kill, even hurt with words. Evil lurks and too often we believe lies rather than truth.
21 But whoever lives by the truth comes into the light, so that it may be seen plainly that what they have done has been done in the sight of God. Take a quick self exam--are you living in the light? Are you bringing honor to God?
Do you need to be in church to worship God? No! Are people hypocritical? Yes, and so are you! Who did you talk about this past few days or weeks. The superbowl referees, the players, the local church, people in the church, people in the schools, coaches in schools or leagues, drivers on the road, take a look at your self and see. Are you truly in the light, the dark, or do you feel like you are in the GRAY area.
Are you in the: It is not bad, but I ain't gonna talk 'bout it area? Thank you for God's agape love and we are accepted just as we are. Thank you for reading.
Lent is coming up starting Feb. 22. Are you giving up something? Think about it. Love you all.
In Christ's Love and Grace
Johnny
