Here is a portion of "My Utmost For His Highest" by Oswald Chambers for today:
Stand fast therefore in the liberty wherewith
Christ hath made us free. — Galatians 5:1
A spiritually minded man will never come to you with the demand
— “Believe this and that”; but with the demand that you square your life with
the standards of Jesus. We are not asked to believe the Bible, but to believe
the One Whom the Bible reveals (cf. John 5:39-40). We are called to present
liberty of conscience, not liberty of view. If we are free with the liberty of
Christ, others will be brought into that same liberty — the liberty of
realizing the dominance of Jesus Christ.
Always keep your life
measured by the standards of Jesus. Bow your neck to His yoke alone, and to no
other yoke whatever; and be careful to see that you never bind a yoke on others
that is not placed by Jesus Christ. It takes God a long time to get us out of
the way of thinking that unless everyone sees as we do, they must be wrong.
That is never God’s view. There is only one liberty, the liberty of Jesus at
work in our conscience enabling us to do what is right.
Don’t get impatient,
remember how God dealt with you — with patience and with gentleness; but never
water down the truth of God. Let it have its way and never apologize for it.
Jesus said, “Go…and make disciples” (rv )
not — make converts to your opinions.
AMEN! In just this last week I must have seen at least a dozen posts or comments by believers in Jesus condemning other believers who disagree with their particular pet doctrine. We are told to make disciples to JESUS and NOT to ourselves! We all may have different ideas about how the Word of God is going to play out, but there is really only ONE Who knows! That would be God the Father! So, let's leave that all in His MOST capable hands of power and be about the particular part of HIS business that HE has called us to! AMEN! We will ONLY be rewarded in Heaven for what we did here on earth that was HIS will for us to be involved with. The TRUE meaning of success is: Being where God wants you to be, doing what God wants you to do! It does NOT make one bit of difference what everyone else in the world is doing! YOU be obedient and YOU will be rewarded! HALLELUJAH! AMEN! Here is Hillsong with "Let There Be Light":
Shalom in Him!
