You are so right my good man, so right.!Too many people get too wrapped up in doing "work" for their church that they often forget their families, and most of all God.
Now I am not talking about those who volunteer some times to help the church in certain matters, God knows the church needs us to be helpful. I am especially refering to those who think it is Godly to volunteer for EVERYTHING ALL the time...even at the risk of neglecting others and other important chores...You know " good deeds".! In any case most of them have good hearts, just not too sure of their "standing" with God...because of confusion, and not really knowing the word of God, but as you have said,....they listen to the Traditions of Man...
And you are right about maturing,and pleasing God rather than man... Paul speaks exactly on that issue, it is ever so important to God to grow in His word and only by His word can we grow...The grace of God as it relates to salvation Is the most wonderful Gift in the universe, and praise God For it....and after that is experienced we must go on there is so much more of God to Love....and many churches are stuck in First Gear....salvation and baptism....
O the love and mercies of our wonderful Father, and the preciousness of His Only begotten Son our Lord Jesus the Christ...and never let us forget the power and works of His loving Holy Spirit...Praise God, Praise God.!
James I pray that you feel relief soon from your aches and pains.
Have a blessed weekend you and yours
Shalom...><> |
