“Now I appeal to you, brothers and sisters,[a] by the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that all of you be in agreement and that there be no divisions among you, but that you be united in the same mind and the same purpose.” 1 Cor 1.10
If you are a church going person, I would like to ask you questions. What is this verse teaching? What does it mean? What if one is a member of a different church than his neighbor? The bible commands that people be the same in doctrine. That isn’t the case if we are members of different beliefs. Many church people try to sweep such truth under the rug. They don’t want to acknowledge it. But you just read that we are to teach the same thing and be the same. If we follow the bible as it directs, we will teach the same doctrine and have no divisions among us.. Tax season is now upon us and though we may not want to, we must pay our tax bill. Don't get me wrong, many taxes are not fair. The rich don't pay much tax and the middle-class and the poor people pay all the tax. A huge company can make millions and possibly pay only a few thousands. But a middle-class person making $50,000 a year can be put in jail for not paying $6000 in taxes. See what I mean, it's not fair, but we will let God judge the government. Jesus probably didn’t agree with the Roman tax system, but He did pay taxes. Peter was told to catch a fish and look in its mouth and find money. Matt 27.24-27. Jesus didn’t want to offend, so he paid his taxes. And I know we must do the very same thing. Romans 13.6-8. 1 Pt 2.13. A war monger
“ Their throat is an open grave, with their tongues they have used deceit; the poison of asps is under their lips: Whose mouth is full of cursing and bitterness: Their feet are swift to shed blood: Destruction and misery are in their ways: And the way of peace have they not known: There is no fear of God before their eyes.” Romans 3.13-18 I want you to think very hard for a moment. Does this scripture remind you of anything happening in the world today? Have you seen the conduct described carried out any place in the world today? If so, you have watched the wicked at work. |
