Resource Manager Posted April 26, 2012 Author Report Share Posted April 26, 2012 26 April 2012 "God has given us all that we have: the air we breathe, the food we eat, the homes we live in. Is any amount of devotion too much when this is considered? Shouldn't we, at every waking moment, think how best to serve God? God is a jealous God. He demands all our love and attention. But because we love God the more, do we love our brethren less? Sometimes it seems that we think so. We stand strong and proud on the principles of obedience to God, and the "purity of the Truth". And we use these concepts to exalt ourselves above our brethren, while remaining indifferent to their Spiritual needs. Our love for God is different, in this respect, than our love for another person. If we truly love God, we will show our love for Him in practical expressions of love for others. True divine love does not exclude human love; it enhances it."- George Booker "For there are these three things that endure: Faith, Hope and Love, but the greatest of these is Love."1 Corinthians 13:13 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Resource Manager Posted April 27, 2012 Author Report Share Posted April 27, 2012 27 April 2012 "The apostle Paul repeatedly admonished us to strive to uphold and maintain the truth (2 Timothy 1:13). If one does not hold to the sound words, he becomes destitute of the truth (1 Timothy 6:3-4). Involved in the responsibility of upholding the truth is the condemning of falsehood. When we mention "condemning falsehood," immediately many want to object and complain. They tell us it is wrong to condemn ... "Judge not that ye be not judged," they say. They seem to think this means we can do no judging at all. This cannot be true, for Jesus also said, "Judge not according to appearance, but judge righteous judgment." (John 7:24)."- J Cripps Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Resource Manager Posted April 29, 2012 Author Report Share Posted April 29, 2012 29 April 2012 "For the LORD your God is God of gods and Lord of lords, the great God, mighty and awesome, who shows no partiality and accepts no bribes. He defends the cause of the fatherless and the widow, and loves the alien, giving him food and clothing. And you are to love those who are aliens, for you yourselves were aliens in Egypt."Deuteronomy 10:17-19 "This wide compassion is part of our understanding of God. He giveth His rain to the good and evil, and causeth His sun to shine on the just and unjust. So the Israelite must love the Israelite and the stranger, having compassion on every man who was oppressed. In this Jesus our Lord excelled: his words to the Samaritan woman at the well, to the Syrophoenician woman whose child was sick, to the woman who was a sinner, were all examples of his extensive mercy on those in need. If we would capture this spirit our lives would be enriched. It would increase our understanding of men, invigorate our preaching, and free us from the sin of "respect of persons" which besets us in a variety of forms." - Harry TennantMoses My Servant Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
