I am sorry the bible references did not sit with me well as I am illiterate in that area. <br /><br />I have seen falseness in people and their actions from childhood to adult hood. I see truthfulness as well. I was a teacher in a religious private school, but in the end it was a business and the Anglican part was only for school events and the brochure. I found myself teaching Anglican religion and found I had no support material and qualification. In the end it became a compulsory subject that was a farce. <br /><br />I may not be a believer but I am into theology in a broader sense. The falseness of it all was a frustration.EmpressTemptresshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01639606614703268052noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1843802894284955325.post-48208021099345233492011-02-19T00:02:09.492-06:002011-02-19T00:02:09.492-06:00You should see some of the clothing that is given ...You should see some of the clothing that is given to mission! Ripped, holes in them, stained...and rarely any money is given to help ship these "blessings." <br /><br />But it is not only in the giving of things. It is in the giving of ourselves. For with the measure you meet out it WILL be measured back to you... <br />Did you think this scripture was talking about money? Oh slow of heart! It is talking about YOU! The very inner workings of your heart! Go back and read the scripture before it: Judge not lest ye be judged...<br /><br />Jam 2:14 What use is it, my brothers, for a man to say that he has faith, if he does nothing? will such a faith give him salvation? <br />Jam 2:15 If a brother or a sister is without clothing and in need of the day's food, <br />Jam 2:16 And one of you says to them, Go in peace, be warm and full of food; but you do not give them the things of which their bodies have need, what profit is there in this? <br />Jam 2:17 Even so faith without works is dead. <br /><br />You say you love ME? Then WHY do you not keep my commandments? Why is it so hard for you to love one another? To walk as I did when I was among you? Have I not shown you My love? Have I not been your example? Do I not yet wash Your feet? Yet you are too proud, too busy, to self absorbed to wash the feet of those around you with tears of love? Do you not know that it is MY tears that you would be crying? It is My Love that you would be giving? Have I not already given it to you and made it to flow from My Throne of Grace to you? Why then do you hold back? Why then do you pass by on the other side of the street an not get involved in My Business? You ask what IS my Business? Do you not know? It is the business of dying to self that I be raised up before men to draw them unto Myself! Can you not hear the cries and groans of mankind as they labor so self deceived under the burden of self? Self aggrandizement. Self promotion. Self fulfillment. And yet they are naked, hungry and tired. And their children starving. Starving for Love. For meaning. For direction. And many starving for food as well as the milk of human kindness. But genuine kindness has gone out of style, no longer in vogue, unless it makes one "look good and feel good." Otherwise why bother? But when I went about doing good, it wasnt an act, or an show... it was a flow from the throne to my own. Now You are my channels, You are my vesels to deliver the sip of cool water, that bread of life... but my vessels are too busy in strife! Debating as of old who is greatest, and who has done the most, made the most impact, contributed the most... and so you greive My holy Ghost. Repent! Get off your high horse and take once again My Yoke upon you and LEARN of ME. I am afraid you've forotten what it's all about, you see.Heart n Hands Inc.https://www.blogger.com/profile/06613808466042521669noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1843802894284955325.post-39753740647622395372011-02-13T23:46:54.894-06:002011-02-13T23:46:54.894-06:00No Steve.

My beef is with someone ...No Steve. You did good.<br /><br />My beef is with someone who comes to your house, gets stuff from you for free, then makes a big show of giving it to a ministry for praise.<br /><br />Too much of that kind of thing going on. People Pretending to give sacrificially and are doing nothing. We used to call it soft money, I call it soft giving.<br /><br />It's pretty close to what Ananias and Sapphira did.Genehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16540894657933632541noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1843802894284955325.post-88058818604610422552011-02-13T22:22:14.682-06:002011-02-13T22:22:14.682-06:00Gene,

I did them to get those things out of my garage, not because I had compassion on the poor. But I knew that I did it to help myself, and I also knew that I would receive no reward other than to have my garage less cluttered. I received my reward in full, but expected nothing more. Is that unrighteous?Steve Scotthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10297044571819912511noreply@blogger.com
