there is no distinction…

so what is GOD saying here in james?  HE is saying, the church that accepts, appreciates and affirms people is the church that GOD blesses.  absolutely nothing can stop the church that is filled with love.  nothing, but it doesn’t happen accidentally.  it requires an all out effort by all.

i believe that GOD is just waiting for a church that will love people unconditionally.  HE can use that kind of church to spark a spiritual awakening that all of the forces of hell can’t stop.  nothing can stop a loving church.

it was said of the nt church, “see how they love one another.  by this shall all men know that you are my disciples that you love each other.”  you accept, affirm, appreciate.  JESUS breaks down all of the barriers and the ground is level at the cross.  we are all equal in GOD’s eyes.  GOD wants you to know HIM.

galatians 3.26-27 (niv), for now we are all children of GOD through faith in JESUS CHRIST.  we are no longer jews or greek or slave or free men or even men or women.  there is no distinction in the body of CHRIST.  we are CHRISTians.  we are one in CHRIST JESUS.

just a thought from the front porch…
