Ephesians 4:14-16
Ephesians 4:14-16
14That we henceforth be no more children, tossed to and fro, and carried about with every wind of doctrine, by the sleight of men, and cunning craftiness, whereby they lie in wait to deceive;
15But speaking the truth in love, may grow up into him in all things, which is the head, even Christ:
16From whom the whole body fitly joined together and compacted by that which every joint supplieth, according to the effectual working in the measure of every part, maketh increase of the body unto the edifying of itself in love.
These verses ring so true in today's society. I have never heard of a society that is more easily persuaded than the one we are living in now. Folks are acting like children by believing anything they hear and being too lazy to actually research it to see if it is true. We, as Christians, are told to "Speak the truth in love" and that's exactly what we need to do. We are not here to condone false teachings or beliefs but to show everyone the right way and ONLY way to God... Jesus Christ. We are also to include each member in the body. No one is above someone else. We each work out our own Salvation (the salvation of our spirit not our soul because that Salvation is by grace) and we must work together for the good of the Lord. Together we can do things that we couldn't do alone. Together we can achieve and prosper in Jesus' name. Together we can see more and more people come to a Saving knowledge of our precious Savior.
Let these verses inspire you and guide you to give your walk with Christ everything that you have got to give. Let it inspire you to let go of pet sins and your past so that you can move on to an uplifting and productive future for Christ. I Pray this for each of us (me included). God bless each of you!

Alesha. thank you for the word.we understand ,will YESHUA when He comes for His church will He find His church without spot or wrinkle ?and to be productive to let GOD work with His sheep and for us to go and find that one sheep that is lost.many churchs today look inward.when less than 1% of income in to the church is used to take the word to the lost.the 99% is spent within the church.this needs to change.why do we get so much false teaching you are right that some sheep are to lazy to know what His word says.love to you all.i pray that GOD gives you the drive to step outside the four walls of the church and take His word into the community.just pray and ask GOD if this commission is for you.you maybe surprised by His answer for you both.BYE.
