Political movements, movies, schools…

Speak up

THE MISUSE OF GODS LOVE.. as they point there condemning fingers at the church soicitey is trying to become the moral compass where the church once stood as a beacon of hope..

16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.

We must speak up and LET THE WORLD KNOW 23 For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.

Yea yea is hear you talking in reference to the attacks on the church that we have nothing to worry about because Christ said..

mat 16.18

And I say also unto thee, That thou art Peter, and upon this rock I will build my church; and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it.

We should be mindful for Christ concluded the statement with ..

19 And I will give unto thee the keys of the kingdom of heaven: and whatsoever thou shalt bind on earth shall be bound in heaven: and whatsoever thou shalt loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven.

The question is just what is being loosed because of our silence and inactivity..

We must remember We are the light of the world not the government nor anyother social political movement.

13Ye are the salt of the earth: but if the salt have lost its savor, wherewith shall it be salted?

it is thenceforth good for nothing, but to be cast out and trodden under foot of men.

14Ye are the light of the world.

A city set on a hill cannot be hid.

15Neither do men light a lamp, and put it under the bushel, but on the stand; and it shineth unto all that are in the house.

16Even so let your light shine before men; that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father who is in heaven.

We have nothing to fear Speak up

rom 8:35 Who shall separate us from the love of Christ?

shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword?

36 As it is written, For thy sake we are killed all the day long; we are accounted as sheep for the slaughter.

37 Nay, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him that loved us.

38 For I am persuaded, that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come, 39 Nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.

1 The LORD is my light and my salvation; whom shall I fear?

The LORD is the strength of my life; of whom shall I be afraid? 2 When the wicked, even mine enemies and my foes, came upon me to eat up my flesh, they stumbled and fell.

3 Though an host should encamp against me, my heart shall not fear: though war should rise against me, in this will I be confident.

4 One thing have I desired of the LORD, that will I seek after; that I may dwell in the house of the LORD all the days of my life, to behold the beauty of the LORD, and to enquire in his temple.

5 For in the time of trouble he shall hide me in his pavilion: in the secret of his tabernacle shall he hide me; he shall set me up upon a rock.

Speak up

Eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, neither have entered into the heart of man, the things which God hath prepared for them that love him.

The gates of heaven, The smooth streets of gold, oh to see the Glory of GOD..

Verily I say unto thee, To day shalt thou be with me in paradise.

3) Woman, behold thy son… Behold thy mother.

,

Taking care of others in Your time of need

In the mist of the storm Jesus saw the pain of those around him and made preparation for his mother and bother the disciple took Mary into his home (showed compassion and love) not just a drive by helping hand.

Out of love not just because he should.

When Jesus therefore saw his mother, and the disciple standing by, whom he loved, he saith unto his mother, Woman, behold thy son! [27] Then saith he to the disciple, Behold thy mother!

And from that hour that disciple took her unto his own home.

Jesus’ great love for His mother.

There are two touching scenes here.

1.

The women at the cross.

They were there at great risk.

Jesus was...

· a revolutionary in the eyes of Rome.

· a heretic in the eyes of the religionists.

Any supporter of Jesus who stood at the cross ran the risk of ridicule and arrest.

Nevertheless, the women stood there.

Why?

They loved Him.

There is no other explanation: they simply loved Him.

He had done so much for them that they were willing to stand by Him no matter the cost.

“For the love of Christ constraineth us; because we thus judge, that if one died for all, then were all dead: and that he died for all, that they which live should not henceforth live unto themselves, but unto him which died for them, and rose again” ().

“Let us go forth” ().

“And he said to them all, If any man will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross daily, and follow me” ().

2. Jesus’ care of His mother.

His thoughts were on others, not on Himself.

Every fiber of His being existed for others, not for Himself.

Even in death, His mind and being were set on taking care of others.

Þ He was touched with the feelings of Mary’s hurt and pain.

In the last moments of His life upon earth, He made arrangements for her care.

Þ He is touched with the feeling of our hurt and pain, so he takes care of us.

“For we have not an high priest which cannot be touched with the feeling of our infirmities; but was in all points tempted like as we are, yet without sin.

Let us therefore come boldly unto the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy, and find grace to help in time of need” ().

4) My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me?

Forsaken not abandoned

For the director of music.

To the tune of "The Doe of the Morning."

A psalm of David.

My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?

Why are you so far from saving me,

so far from the words of my groaning?

2O my God, I cry out by day, but you do not answer,

by night, and am not silent.

3Yet you are enthroned as the Holy One;

you are the praise of Israel.

4In you our fathers put their trust;

they trusted and you delivered them.

5They cried to you and were saved;

in you they trusted and were not disappointed

Now from the sixth hour there was darkness over all the land unto the ninth hour.
