The importance of God's Word

"...the LORD is the true God, he is the living God..." - Jeremiah 10:10 God tells the world that His name is “I am” (Exodus 3:14). Christians confess that God is. Hebrews 11:6 “...without faith it is impossible to please him: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is ...” Yet we must understand that God is alive in a far different way that anyone else. He has life in Himself while everything else has life given to them. God is the source of life for all things. He is independent of all things while everything else in the universe depends upon Him to exist; and He is willing to impart the eternalness of His life to us. When we read the words... John 15:13 “Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends.” ...we understand this concept in the context of the temporary life we have in our bodies. But Jesus had something far deeper on His mind when He said these words. He understood death from the perspective of Heaven.

After watching the past 2 presidential campaigns can I say that I am tired of the lack of brotherly love in the world. When I saw the hatred spewing across the television screen, or heard it blaring from my radio - especially in this particular contest between 2 people who want to be in charge of the most prosperous & powerful nation in the history of mankind - I am tired of the lack of brotherly love in the world. When I read the news about man's inhumanity to man, whether it comes from a religious cult that cuts people's heads off, from alleged Human Rights groups that encourage the killing of police officers or from rogue police officers who, in their hatred, abuse their authority & power to kill others - I am tired of the lack of brotherly love in the world. As I sit in my living room in the Philly summers & against my will am forced to hear my neighbors fighting in the street or arguing in their living rooms so loudly that I can hear them inside my own home even with my doors & windows shut - especially with the limited vocabulary which anger brings to the tongue - I am tired of the lack of brotherly love in the world. I cannot simply laugh it off saying "people are sinners therefore they sin." Though this is true it is not a laughing matter. I am tired of the lack of brotherly love in the world. I'm tired of it for many reasons. It vexes my soul. It undermines my hope in common decency. At my age, the lack of love in the world causes my heart to sink because, even though I have raised my children to love Christ & function in this world, I have learned that it was not enough to protect them from the pains & struggles that come as a result of this lack of Godly love in the world - the pain of which came both from people of the world & people within the church. I am tired of the lack of brotherly love in the world. But I am called to express something greater - agape love That the world lacks agape love only underscores the truth of God's Word which tells us that agape exists only in those born-again of God’s Spirit. It also reminds me that things will not get better or fixed until Jesus returns. But this underscoring of Gods Word concerning the lack of agape love in the world also brings hope because God's Word also tells us that Jesus will return & that He will straighten things out. So what can I do in the meantime? Do I keep my doors & windows closed and pray? Praying is always the right thing to do. But faith without works is dead. So I cannot sit cloistered in my living room. Do I get passionately angry with a fire burning in my belly - like when I was a young man - then redirect that passionate energy into doing good social works in order to help alleviate the pain & suffering caused by this lack of love in the world? Doing good things for others is always the right thing to do. But good works without faith are of no lasting help. Do I strive to effect social change by supporting good political candidates? Do I petition the government in my spare time in order to correct the unfair & unjust laws in our country that protect those who do inhumane things to other human beings? Doing what I can to make my culture better is always right, especially if I have the freedom to speak up & vote for change. The Jesus I read about in the Bible says this: Matt 7:12 “do unto others what you would have them do unto you.” Though God’s word tells me to respect & pray for those in political authority, nowhere does His word tell me to fix the government. But His Word does tell me to love...with agape love. So the onus of expressing agape love in the world is placed squarely on my shoulders - on your shoulders. Therefore if I see a lack of agape love in my little piece of the world, the responsibility for bringing it is mine & mine alone. I am tired of the lack of Godly love in the world, and so I will bring it to them.

Sermon recorded at the Christian Black Belt Association's 2017 Koinonia Conference King Agesilaus, ruled over Sparta for 40 yrs. He wasn't fond of brick walls. When said to a visiting King that the walls of Sparta were impregnable, the visiting king who didn't see any walls as he looked around e said, "I don't understand." The King of Sparta said "every man in Sparta is a brick. These are the walls of Sparta." The Bible says that Christians, the blvrs in Christ, the members of the church are living stones. We are the walls of the church. 1Peter 2:5 "Ye also, as lively stones, are built up a spiritual house, an holy priesthood"
