Greetings All;
Have you ever wondered what Jesus thinks about our religions, including Christianity? Are you certain that Christianity is the only proper way to receive salvation and to live out our faith? Make no mistake, I certainly don't believe that there are many ways to God and that Christianity is but one. But what is Christianity anyway? Well, I guess it might be defined by the brand of Christianity to which you may belong. Which one is right? Which one is the Lord most pleased with and influenced by? On what basis is He most pleased with yours, since I'm sure most think their brand is the best. Where does the Bible record Jesus as being Christian? Why do we make it so complicated? Lots of questions but few answers that would satisfy most. Maybe we're trying too hard in our own efforts. Is it really that important to be in the right denomination, in the right church, with the right pastor, with the right leadership team, with the right Bible translation, located in the right place? Or could it be that the answer lies in learning to simply love God back who gave {His} all to show {His} love for us? Absolutely, it is good to be in a good Bible teaching, believing church led by mature, Spirit-filled believers. However, at the end of it all, God's desire is that we be one in and with the Godhead (John 17:20-26). Seeking {Him} should be our highest goal. There we find the answers we seek. There we find our true selves. There we find completeness. Seek first the Kingdom of Heaven and His righteousness and.......
I am grateful to God for the outpouring of the Spirit of God at Bright Hope Baptist Church in Louisa, Virgina and for those who received what they were trusting God for. I am grateful to have been invited and to share those days with the people there. It was also wonderful to see a number of people from First Baptist Main Street in Charlottesville, Virginia who came to share. You are sorely missed. I pray God's peace and power upon Pastor Alonzo Minor of Bright Hope and his family. Thank you for the invitation, great accommodations and hospitality.
May God richly bless you all.
