“The purpose of God is accomplished when the people of God take serious our commission from God and get to the work of God”

Jesus tells us to go out into the world to spread (infiltrate) His Word into it.

God is a peacemaker.

“This became the work of the only begotten; to unite the divided and to reconcile the alienated”

Chrysostom

We are to be His Ambassadors who reconcile.

But we must expect to suffer persecution.

So be the Light of the world as Jesus was.

Point 1: Wrong questions:

A. How far is too far? IS THIS HOLY?

B. What if we love each other? How can i show this person love?

C. Are they the one? Am I becoming the one?

Point 2: Wrong Expectations

This book was written by Jeremiah, after the destruction of Jerusalem. It is a weeping lament for this great loss. He uses this to try to turn the people remaining in the area to stop their resistance to the Lord. It is a solemn reminder of what happens when we refuse to follow God’s guiding laws.

How do we look for righteousness? If we are to have a truly fulfilled life, which path are we to follow? Solomon learned the lesson too late in life. (Ecclesiastes)

You do not have to compromise conviction to be compassionate.

Psalm 116:5 (NIV) The LORD is gracious and righteous; our God is full of compassion.
