LAW OF LOVE


Galatians 5:13-14

 

13 You, my brothers and sisters, were called to be free. But do not use your freedom to indulge the flesh; rather, serve one another humbly in love. 14 For the entire law is fulfilled in keeping this one command: “Love your neighbor as yourself.”

Today I want each of you to look at your life!  Let your life answer the following question:  Do I serve myself, or God?  Remember GOD is love and by serving him fully you fulfill the law of love as expressed by Christ.  If you are serving yourself then there is no room for the law of love.  In essence, when we serve ourselves, we have replaced God’s will with our own. Service of others is the life and example that Christ has given.  True worship is more than what you say, sing, and shout in church.  True worship is a relationship with God that leads to a life of love expressed to those who are our neighbors. 

Remember we are free . . .  Free to love and live in Christ.  Free to give what has been given to us and share what has been shared with us.  We are freed from sin and given over to a new spirit of love.  However when we serve ourselves we are held bondage to the very sin that nailed Christ to the cross.  Do not trade your freedom for the shackles of sin.  Live under the law of love and free yourself from the bondage of sin.

 

Remember I love you always and in all ways.

Rev. M. Harrison

KNOW YOUR ROLL!

For I know the plans I have for you, declares the LORD, plans for welfare and not for evil, to give you a future and a hope. JERM 29:11 What is GOD Calling you to do. Are you seeking GOD's purpose for your own life or are you riding the coat tails of another? For years I fought the call of minister and pastor because the calling ran in my family. I wondered "am I projecting my own will into my life?" Was I only following my earthly role models? GOD does call us to respect and look to those soldiers in Christ that have answered their call of ministry. However GOD calls us to seek his will for our own lives. He has a special unique plan for each of us that is not designed after or a copy of someone else's. We need to stop saying the following: I want to be a pastor just like _______! I want to bless other financially just like_______! I want to be blessed just like ______! We should say this instead: I want to be like Christ when I be...

COVERED!

So when they continued asking him, he lifted up himself, and said unto them, He that is without sin among you, let him first cast a stone at her. John 8:7 Even though we know better, do we live parts of our lives in secret as if GOD is not watching. We need to ask God to shine a light on the areas we need to fix.   Yes we need fixing. Just as no man could throw the first stone at the woman caught in adultery, we cannot cast any judgment on to anyone but ourselves. We do not deserve  anything but death because of our sin. If we are dirty, and in no way worthy of GOD’s attention, then WHY!?!?!,.   .even though we deserve the stones to be thrown upon us does GOD cover for us.   In this scripture we are manifested in the face of the adulterous woman.   At one point in our lives we have chosen our way over GOD’s way. Realize that when we choose our way over GOD’s way that is sin.   Just as Satan sinned when pride entered his heart and he vowed to r...
