Loving God And Loving Each Other!

  

Without The Love Of God In Our Hearts

The Words We Speak

The Spirit Under Which We Operate

The Sincerity We Display

And 

The Devotion To The Lord That We Communicate 

All Mean Bupkis, Nothing, Nada, Zilch 

And

We Will Not Enter Into The Eternal Rest That 

Is 

The Heritage Of The Blessed People Of Almighty God! 

Beloved, 

A Performing Aka Acting Christian 

Is 

Not The Same As A Humble, Obedient

Working, Loving Christian! 

The Priests, Scribes 

And 

The Pharisees Of Old Were Adept Performers! 

They Were In Costume

And

In Character

And

Knew Their Lines 

And

Were Looking Forward To Their Paycheck Aka Sweet Words 

From The Beguiled 

And

Good Coin From Their Unholy Enterprises! 

Ill-Gotten Gain Gave Them Goosies

Aka Goosebumps Of Ecstasy! 

They Sang The Songs Of Zion For Show! 

They Did Acts Of Charity For Show! 

They Prayed Long Prayers For Show! 

They Preached The Word To Show Their Grasp Of The Material 

And 

Show Off Their Vocabulary! 

Their Devotion To Almighty God 

Held No Love For Almighty God

And 

Their Worship Was Vain, Hollow ... Loveless! 

Brethren, Beloved 

There Is No Faking Christianity 

Until You "Become" A Christian!

We Accept The Lord Jesus Christ As Savior, Lord, And God

And

Confess And Repent Of All Of Our Known Sin

And

We Become Christians

Striving Daily For The Mastery Of Self

And

Victory Over Every Sin That So Easily Besets Us!

We Live For Christ Jesus: 

We Are Called By His Holy Name!

We Are Called To Life Everlasting

So Let Us, By The Holy Spirit, Love Our Dear Jesus 

By Thought, Word, And Deed 

As We Love Our Brethren 

As We Love Ourselves! 

True Love Works!

Remember, Remember

Don't Ever Forget ...

We Are Saved By Grace Through Faith

But

We Are Judged By Our Work!

Think Carefully About What You Are Doing Today!
