A Bible snippet—and more

Ephesians 4:15 9 CSB)

But speaking the truth in love, let us grow in every way into him who is the head—Christ.


The Christ/Messiah – Is The LORD – Call to Repentance

‘Many are called but few are chosen’ Speaking to people who are steeped in religion, Jesus speaks a parable to the religious Jew in Matthew 20, this parable still speaks loud and clear to ‘all religions and those of false practices’. Jesus speaks in love, but He does not mince His words explaining to us the pure and holiness of God’s love. The Word of the love of God is like the sword that has two edges.

Notice if you will the following verse in Hebrews 4 (CJB) 12 See, the Word of God is alive! It is at work and is sharper than any double-edged sword — it cuts right through to where soul meets the spirit and joints meet marrow, and it is quick to judge the inner reflections and attitudes of the heart. This above all other thoughts concerning us is God’s love.


Our human mindset is a worldly outlook on life, this mindset includes ‘difference and indifference’ and ‘love and hate’ ‘sense and nonsense’ and as the list could be very long I will end it with the biggie aspirations and apparitions’. God’s mindset is none of these, His sword is His Word of love to anyone who will listen—are you a listener? Or do you OVERTALK the Word of Truth when it comes your way?

We need to listen to God, He says in Jeremiah 33:3 “‘Call out to me, and I will answer you — I will tell you great things, hidden things of which you are unaware.’” God challenges all who will hear His call to turn away from the human mindset of good and evil to His Mindset of LOVE, He has called us to be the salt and life of the earth.

CSB – Matthew 5:13 [ Believers Are Salt and Light ] “You are the salt of the earth. But if the salt should lose its taste, how can it be made salty? It’s no longer good for anything but to be thrown out and trampled under people’s feet.

The Devotional – Search the Scriptures – 169 Luke 14:7-14 - So He told a parable to those who were invited, when He noted how they chose the best places, saying to them: “When you are invited by anyone to a wedding feast, do not sit down in the best place, lest one more honorable than you be invited by him; “and he who invited you and him come and say to you, ‘Give place to this man,’ and then you begin with shame to take the lowest place. “But when you are invited, go and sit down in the lowest place, so that when he who invited you comes, he may say to you, ‘Friend, go up higher.’ Then you will have glory in the presence of those who sit at the table with you. “For whoever exalts himself will be humbled, and he who humbles himself will be exalted. Then He also said to him who invited Him, “When you give a dinner or a supper, do not ask your friends, your brothers, your relatives, nor rich neighbors, lest they also invite you back, and you be repaid. “But when you give a fea

The Devotional – Search the Scriptures – 161.1 SCRIPTURE REFERENCES:   Luke 12:1-5 There were present at that season some who told Him about the Galileans whose blood Pilate had mingled with their sacrifices. And Jesus answered and said to them, “Do you suppose that these Galileans were worse sinners than all other Galileans, because they suffered such things? “I tell you, no; but unless you repent you will all likewise perish. “Or those eighteen on whom the tower in Siloam fell and killed them, do you think that they were worse sinners than all other men who dwelt in Jerusalem? “I tell you, no; but unless you repent you will all likewise perish.” Jesus, the Christ of God/Messiah An excerpt from yesterday’s devotional: In our passage, the point of the LORD is not that of being a newscaster but placing the death of these people beyond human judgment, in fact; Jesus does not look at the death of human beings as we do. All humans, past present and future will die a ph
