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.

Luke 9:23

In an 1882 edition of “Zion’s Watchtower”, Charles Taze Russell tells about how he was reading the Revised Version, and he thought, Oh, the scholars say that 1 John 5:7 doesn’t belong. See, I always thought that Jesus Christ wasn’t God. This led to the creation of the Jehovah Witnesses.

We are to be united by a common authority, not by compromise. By God’s words not by vain philosophies, traditions of men and doctrines of devils.

Believers are one body united under One Head, the Lord Jesus Christ

The left-right paradigm is a distraction meant to keep us divided and busy while the same agenda to destroy order and instigate a mass die off marches forward

John 4:3-43 – account of Jesus and the Samaritan woman at the well

Disciples had gone to nearby city of Sychar to get food (v8).

Jesus had sent the disciples to reap (v38), but the disciples were only thinking of food to feed their bodies (v33) and did not see the opportunity. The people of the city were ripe unto harvest (v35).

Jesus spoke of a spiritual food: “Jesus saith unto them, My meat is to do the will of him that sent me, and to finish his work” (v34)

2 Corinthians 6:17-18

Wherefore gird up the loins of your mind, be sober, and hope to the end for the grace that is to be brought unto you at the revelation of Jesus Christ; as obedient children, not fashioning yourselves according to the former lusts in your ignorance: but as he which hath called you is holy, so be ye holy in all manner of conversation; because it is written, Be ye holy; for I am holy

1 Peter 1:13-16

Ye are of your father the devil, and the lusts of your father ye will do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and abode not in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own: for he is a liar, and the father of it

John 8:44

wherein in time past ye walked according to the course of this world, according to the prince of the power of the air, the spirit that now worketh in the children of disobedience

Ephesians 2:2

Let no man deceive you with vain words: for because of these things cometh the wrath of God upon the children of disobedience

Ephesians 5:6

for which things’ sake the wrath of God cometh on the children of disobedience:

Colossians 3:6

In this the children of God are manifest, and the children of the devil: whosoever doeth not righteousness is not of God, neither he that loveth not his brother.

1 John 3:10

Pope Francis told Morocco’s tiny Catholic community on Sunday their role in the predominantly Muslim country was not to covert their neighbors but live in brotherhood with all other faiths.
