O Lord I pray to thee for all and myself to keep our eyes focused on thee. O Lord I am weirry and mentally exhausted and I pray that you would give us the strength to make it through these next few weeks. It is not by our own strength can we do these things but by your strength. I lift all my brothers and sisters and commence all of them into you hands. Thank you O Lord for your love and grace which is new to us everday. In Your Holy name, AMEN.
On a different note…interesting Bible Study today. Mormonism, the study was very interesting and at the very same time confusing. I understand a lot of it now but I still cannot grasp how they read the Bible in KJV yet they go by the book of mormon. I still can’t get over it and they are complete opposites of each other. The book of Mormon seems like a book just made up full of assumptions and thoughts from a human perspective of understanding which is very limited. Its like something from science, something from sci fi that is created from a form of logic to help us understand what we are only able to understand from a humistic perspective. It is by faith that we are saved. We have been redeemed by the blood of the Lamb. However, faith is dead without works (or good deeds) but neither can exist by themseleves in our walk with God. Our actions reflect our faith and faith determines many of our actions. Actions by themselves are merely just good deeds that can be either or Christian or secular. It is interesting to learn how Mormonism has different levels of heaven or paradise based upon how much good deeds we do. It seems that faith is somewhat lacking in that area of this belieft. More like doing these things to prove yourself to try and earn your way to heaven. The mere fact that you have to earn is totally opposite of the Christian faith, we do not have to earn our faith nor do we have to earn our way to heaven. It is a gift from God when we accept Him into our hearts. Salvation is not earned it is given freely to us by the Love of God as he gave His only Son to die on the cross for the sins of the world.
I am not here to tell you what to believe or what not to believe but it is important to know the core of these beliefs and truths. My prayer is that you find a way better yet find THE WAY, the TRUTH and the LIFE. The word says….”I am the way the truth, the life….” Blessed is He who puts his trust in Him.
Please comment freely, I am gracious to hear every perspective and opinion…
