My Soul, My Spirit, has been under a conviction to speak out. The Church's that we all call our Christian Church and Body of Christ Jesus. I have seen them splintered hundreds of time's in the past 48 years of my life. I must confess that I have not been faithful to his calling for all those year's. I cannot and will not blame any thing that happen within a Church I attended.
All I know is our Lord is not Happy with all the division within his Church. Do we under stand the meaning of the Love we had for the Brother's and Sister's that we left behind at the Church we found Jesus in. Or did we move to a new area and looked for a new Church and we found what we were looking for. The people were "Loving greeted us with open arm's". Made us feel like we were part of there Family in Christ. We put our faith in there and our Pastor that was so wonderful. He would Preach the word we saw people come to Christ and be Saved and followed them though the Baptism of Faith!
Yes it was wonderful and everything was grand. But something happened was it the Pastor, or the elders, or the deacons, was it some of the Brother's and Sister's. What happened was our trust, taken were we hurt, was our pride, shaken did we do what the Bible Say's to do. I didn't do what it says's to do. I can not blame anyone else for my ignorance of the Word. Look within yourselves and ask a simple question. Did I do what I should have done did I know what was going on did I look and see what was going on and looked the other way so no one would get hurt. Or did I leave because I did not want to say anything at the time to hurt anyone.
I looked at a few scriptures to see what the Bible said "Mat 6:15 But if ye forgive not men their trespasses, neither will your Father forgive your trespasses.Luk 6:37 Judge not, and ye shall not be judged: condemn not, and ye shall not be condemned: forgive, and ye shall be forgiven:
Mar 11:25 And when ye stand praying, forgive, if ye have ought against any: that your Father also which is in heaven may forgive you your trespasses."
These scriptures are spoken by our Lord Jesus Christ not anyone else do you understand him. "Mat 18:21 Then came Peter to him, and said, Lord, how oft shall my brother sin against me, and I forgive him? till seven times?
Mat 18:22 Jesus saith unto him, I say not unto thee, Until seven times: but, Until seventy times seven. Do we hear that have a ear what the scripture is saying to you.
