Tomorrow I am speaking at the Ft. Pierce First United Methodist Church. I guess if you are reading this on Sunday, then it is today.
The scripture for the day is from Mt 5. If you are offering your gift at the altar and remember that you have something against your brother...
well... stop... leave the altar. First go and make amends with your brother. Then go offer your gift.
What if this was the only scripture passage that we had??? What would the Christian faith look like??? Go make amends before you act out in religious ways...
That is some pretty important stuff.
For far too long, we have allowed the larger church, the denominations to shape the flavor of our faith. It is time that we start looking at the amazing scriptures that we have and allowing them to speak into our daily lives.
What if the only passage of scripture that we have instructs us to work it out with our brothers and sisters before we act out in religious ways? Fix it with your brother before you declare doctrine???
Love comes first.
It's a beautiful day in God's world, be sure to see the good.
