Brotherly Love?

After watching the past 2 presidential campaigns can I say that I am tired of the lack of brotherly love in the world. When I saw the hatred spewing across the television screen, or heard it blaring from my radio - especially in this particular contest between 2 people who want to be in charge of the most prosperous & powerful nation in the history of mankind - I am tired of the lack of brotherly love in the world. When I read the news about man's inhumanity to man, whether it comes from a religious cult that cuts people's heads off, from alleged Human Rights groups that encourage the killing of police officers or from rogue police officers who, in their hatred, abuse their authority & power to kill others - I am tired of the lack of brotherly love in the world. As I sit in my living room in the Philly summers & against my will am forced to hear my neighbors fighting in the street or arguing in their living rooms so loudly that I can hear them inside my own home even with my doors & windows shut - especially with the limited vocabulary which anger brings to the tongue - I am tired of the lack of brotherly love in the world. I cannot simply laugh it off saying "people are sinners therefore they sin." Though this is true it is not a laughing matter. I am tired of the lack of brotherly love in the world. I'm tired of it for many reasons. It vexes my soul. It undermines my hope in common decency. At my age, the lack of love in the world causes my heart to sink because, even though I have raised my children to love Christ & function in this world, I have learned that it was not enough to protect them from the pains & struggles that come as a result of this lack of Godly love in the world - the pain of which came both from people of the world & people within the church. I am tired of the lack of brotherly love in the world. But I am called to express something greater - agape love That the world lacks agape love only underscores the truth of God's Word which tells us that agape exists only in those born-again of God’s Spirit. It also reminds me that things will not get better or fixed until Jesus returns. But this underscoring of Gods Word concerning the lack of agape love in the world also brings hope because God's Word also tells us that Jesus will return & that He will straighten things out. So what can I do in the meantime? Do I keep my doors & windows closed and pray? Praying is always the right thing to do. But faith without works is dead. So I cannot sit cloistered in my living room. Do I get passionately angry with a fire burning in my belly - like when I was a young man - then redirect that passionate energy into doing good social works in order to help alleviate the pain & suffering caused by this lack of love in the world? Doing good things for others is always the right thing to do. But good works without faith are of no lasting help. Do I strive to effect social change by supporting good political candidates? Do I petition the government in my spare time in order to correct the unfair & unjust laws in our country that protect those who do inhumane things to other human beings? Doing what I can to make my culture better is always right, especially if I have the freedom to speak up & vote for change. The Jesus I read about in the Bible says this: Matt 7:12 “do unto others what you would have them do unto you.” Though God’s word tells me to respect & pray for those in political authority, nowhere does His word tell me to fix the government. But His Word does tell me to love...with agape love. So the onus of expressing agape love in the world is placed squarely on my shoulders - on your shoulders. Therefore if I see a lack of agape love in my little piece of the world, the responsibility for bringing it is mine & mine alone. I am tired of the lack of Godly love in the world, and so I will bring it to them.

Your Mantle

Sermon recorded at the Christian Black Belt Association's 2017 Koinonia Conference King Agesilaus, ruled over Sparta for 40 yrs. He wasn't fond of brick walls. When said to a visiting King that the walls of Sparta were impregnable, the visiting king who didn't see any walls as he looked around e said, "I don't understand." The King of Sparta said "every man in Sparta is a brick. These are the walls of Sparta." The Bible says that Christians, the blvrs in Christ, the members of the church are living stones. We are the walls of the church. 1Peter 2:5 "Ye also, as lively stones, are built up a spiritual house, an holy priesthood"

What is you "WHY"

Joun 9:8-41

Romans 2:1-4

Bumper sticker: 'Christians are not perfect, just forgiven.' Born-again believers in Christ understand this. But most non-Christians don't get it. Oh, they understand the concept. But they often think this saying is an excuse that gives Christians permission to live like anyone else while still believing that they are going to Heaven. It’s not that un-believers think Christians should be perfect or that Christians cannot do sinful things. The problem for them is over 2 issues taught in the Bible that confuse even believers: God's grace & human depravity How can something as wonderful as forgiveness of sins and eternal salvation be free? How can a person claim to be a Christian and act like that? For the unbeliever the things of God are impossible to understand. 1Cor 2:14 ...the natural man does not receive the things of the Spirit of God, for they are foolishness to him; nor can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned. Even Christians ask questions about these things. We understand them experientially. But we still wonder about even our own selves...how we can still sin when we have so much from the Lord. Things that are valuable are costly. It is inconceivable that something as priceless as heaven could be offered as a free gift especially when earthly knowledge says that holiness enough to get to heaven must be worked for and earned. It's almost impossible for a non-believer to understand how an individual who claims he / she belongs to God still struggles with imperfection. Christians explain our relationship with God using phrases like 'Jesus has come into my heart.' Since people generally understand that Jesus was perfect, it doesn’t equate that the person in whom Jesus resides, & allegedly through whom Jesus lives, is not acting in a perfect manner. No wonder people are confused. We as Christians have some understanding of the process of sanctification. We know that asking Jesus into our hearts does not automatically make us perfect & erase our sinful humanity. If that was true the Bible would not be filled with counsel on forgiving others, understanding each other's failures, that believers should repent and ask forgiveness when they sin, etc. So when an unbeliever expects perfection from a Christian - although unrealistic - at least I understand why they think that. But when a Christian - a brother or sister in Jesus - expects perfection from other believers, that is most troubling. It also tells us that the brother/sister is not well versed in Scripture. Our standard is high because our example is Jesus, Who was perfect. Our motives are often good. But we fall short. So that bumper sticker is a good reminder to believers. Jesus never put pressure on us to be perfect. He simply told us that we should follow Him. Please do not misunderstand. That we are not going to reach a state of perfection this side of heaven is not an excuse to behave in a fleshly & sinful manner. Ruth Graham once said something very wise about her husband, Billy Graham: "It's my job to love Billy. It's God's job to make him good." Replace the name 'Billy' with the name of people you know - your spouse, your parents, friends, bosses, neighbors, especially your pastor - and you will see that your prayer list has grown exponentially. The flip side is this: someone feels the same about you. Their job is to love you. It’s God’s job to make you good. You know better than any other human being the sin inside of you. That should foster humility, not pride or hypocrisy. So be sure to put yourself on your own prayer list.
