Without a transformation on the inside there can be no
lasting
transformation on the outside. As a man thinketh in his heart so is he
Proverbs 23:7.
"Although many preaching centered churches attract
large crowds, their impact upon the community is often negligible" we
need a systematic plan on how to move from a dream to reality and from
form to fact, from religion to re-living.
The Enmity (hostility, hate, antagonism, bad feelings) is the origin of
the seven things God hates.
1. The person who strives to serve God will have enmity with the devil
2. The person who rejects God and serves the devil will have enmity
with God.
3. The person who is selfish and serves only himself will have enmity
with everyone.
Enmity
is the enemy of God that Jesus continually overcame within himself
throughout his life and finally slew in death upon the cross as His
blood was shed.
To know the Word of God does not mean that
we will automatically have the mind of Christ. Why call me Lord, Lord
and do not do the things I say do? Often times the mind of man is a
mess.
Love covers a multitude of sin but, the chaos and
confusion in our lives is rooted in enmity and friendships, dichotomy
and duplicity. It is impossible to walk in the light and in darkness at
the same time. James 4:4. Lord, Help Us. Mercy, Mercy me.
God
is One. The only number that exist is the number one and every other
number is a derivative of the number one, except zero. Zero is nothing
without the One. ---- One God!
To
like people is good. To love people is better. To stop loving people
because you don't like them is not good. Hate grows where love is
missing. True Love is the cure for hate, anger, bitterness, jealousy,
strife, envy, unrighteous pride and all the other unrighteous deeds of
the flesh which destroy positive and encouraging relationships. God's
mercy endures forever.
