LIVING IN A BETTER WORLD

LIVING IN A BETTER WORLD Throughout time EVEN in the old testament Prophets came On behalf of God SOME really were sent From God-like Jeremiah-Isaiah- Daniel-and many others BUT many were false prophets Saying that they were sent by God They were actually bringing FALSE truths and lies- Just telling the people What they wanted to hear “Your prophets Had before you False and specious visions They did not lay bare Your guilt To avert your fate They beheld for you In vision False and misleading portents” Lamentations 2:14 Today it is the politicians Telling us What we want to hear And we hear it From the advertisers- It is ENTICING Who doesn't want to live In a better world? Who doesn't want to be Richer-healthier-and more attractive? BUT the ONLY WAY To live in a truly better world IS to live the message Of God LIVE the message of Jesus Christ That is the REAL and TRUE way To truly build a better world “He rules the world In righteousness He judges the peoples With equity” Psalm 9:8 “You are the LIGHT Of the world A town built on a hill CANNOT be hidden” Matthew 5:14 “The God Who MADE the world And everything in it Is the Lord Of heaven and earth And does NOT live in temples BUILT by human hands” Acts 17:24 LIVING in a better world Built by God and Jesus The gospel-the MESSAGE given To us by Jesus PROMISES us change But not without effort He-the Lord-asks us to commit Ourselves-to TRANSFORM ourselves- To actually make ourselves into better people BY LIVING THE GOSPEL The Lord calls us To the hard work of CHANGE Dear Lord-PLEASE help us-we PRAY To really and truly- CHANGE the things that we can So that we can ALL Truly live IN A BETTER WORLD Robert P.
