Editors Note: Beloved we come feeling
that the weak of mind feel threatened by information and knowledge, especially
the keys to better understanding all that exists. Meanwhile those with heads
and tails in the sand have a limited understanding of intellectual thought and
action. We pity not Fools however we pray for the foolish and those with hearts
and minds filled with simplicity that is as shallow and deep as frogs bottom.
Greetings Brethren,
In
the name of God, Master of the Universe, Ruler of the earth
Peace be unto you. To the Church
and believing Christians everywhere. To those that believe in the Bible as the
supreme authority that governs all of humankind. In this we give thanks to God
the Father the Son and the Holy Spirit that leads and guides us the
straightway.
Beloved stirred once more than once
while we slumbered we became awake with
a thought placed there by the power that has been sent to lead and guide us the
straightway. There is no other way to go or went for the devout the righteous.
However we also come in the flesh as did Paul asking for the prayers of the
righteous as we also pray without ceasing giving thanks as we confess our
faults seeking repentance.
So as the Spirit came upon us, as
it is always there we heard these words. The home a place of training for all
that liveth, as it is the first place they know. Then comes the school or the
church house as these are the three basic institutions in the world, the
society in which we live. All three have an impact of what a person comes to
believe and know. However there is the general environment we see as a fourth
component as it takes in all three institutions.
So as we ponder these sources of
life for those that liveth what has become of the people? What then do these
institutions have to say about Christianity which is the dominant religion in
the Western Hemisphere?
WHERE
HAS THE TRUTH GONE?
There
is a way as the Spiritual Scientist liveth to see
where
man is going and where he has been and talk
of
those that went. Here as not to trivialize this discussion
is
a basic way to look and ponder not only this
but anything
that
has impacted on human development.
John
pondered this as he considered the sad state of
the
belief in God and Christ and the willful disobedience
of
the people. He was also amazed time and time again
at
the wayward and cavalier attitude of those in the Church.
So
he set out once more than once to cogitate, to mediate,
And
investigate these questions. Something somewhere had
to
be, not to blame but the cause and outcome of the refusal
to
follow God’s laws His commandments. As to follow them
means
love and Jesus Christ and God are the ultimate in
love
messages for all that liveth. So we look, see and watch.
The
theory of non-conformity (T=ss²) surely
is upon us as this
is
the key to all understanding not just the absence of true love in
the
hearts and minds of many that walk and crawl the planet earth.
Meanwhile
we salute mothers and fathers as they have a great responsibility
toward
the development of the children they bring into the world.
So
in the home the child the human being first has an opportunity
to
see the Light of day. However homes absent of Christian love
go
with the foul wind and not the Freedom of
the Wind. There are
also
homes where there is a tainted version of Christian love that
excludes
some people and lifts up some that feel superior.
Meanwhile
custom, tradition and the world has so penetrated
the
hearts and minds of so many households that lessons in
Christianity
are often shallow and filled with erroneous teaching
when
there is any teaching at all. Thus the homes also miss the boat
as
do the school house as prayer has been chased from the schools,
And
religious freedoms have come under attack as Christian love
has
never been a respecter of persons. Christianity has also never
sought
to insult those that believe in other religions. But as morals,
principles
and values take a back seat many things in the world take
on
academic freedoms while freedom of religion is swept in a corner.
An
outsider meanwhile thought that the Church would naturally take
up
the slack and teach the reality of Jesus as the saving grace for all
of
humankind. Count the church houses on many streets and they
often
appear on almost every corner. However the church has failed the
people
and has sent a disloyal message to God.
John
now considered the environment and the peer pressure and
all
the things that impacted on man as he ventured from the home,
school
and church. Here was an even greater turmoil and often big
chaos
as man and women just went. Materialism that had been a
great
factor in the home and even in the church saturated the world,
Landscape
and soaked up everything in sight. Many things thus that
contradicted
the Wisdom of Solomon and the teachings of Jesus was
felt
by many men and women, boys and little girls. There was no
firm
foundation for the righteous as most that stood and prayed as
devout
and fervent in their belief in God were frowned on.
Many
genes of the crucifixion people were passed down through the
ages
and Freedom of Religion came not to those who truly embrace
Christ
although they are accused of being not in the Spirit. Meanwhile
those
that try to rule and make-over God and Christ claim the Godly
preach
and teach another Gospel.
But
where has the Truth gone? Where has the Truth been? How can
you
have Truth among unbelievers? Truth is found in those that are
obedient
and loyal toward God’s laws. These laws are found in the
Bible.
Man cannot make up his own laws and say they come from
God. The Salvation Road is a way of prayer and
sacrifice.
Where
there is no prayer and no sacrifice there is no real peace.
Also
there is and will be no Peace and Paradise. Therefore the
saints
of God relish in our free gift of salvation and the time we will
spend
with Jesus in the third Heaven. Glory to God, Hallelujah.
