DEEPLY AND HONESTLY




















DEEPLY AND HONESTLY


Throughout history people have
KILLED each other
In the name of GOD


DEEPLY and HONESTLY=I can tell you
That this is WRONG=no matter
What religion you are=
NO MATTER what
Your beliefs are

If GOD IS LOVE=and he is=
HOW can you kill someone
In the NAME of love
It is AMORAL

Jesus said
...............the HOUR is coming
When everyone who kills you

Will THINK he is
Offering=WORSHIP to God” John 16:2

PERHAPS it was an observation
Or a prediction
About his very own life

EVERY religion=every faith
At some time=or another

Has KILLED in the name of God
And it is NOT RIGHT=
No religion or group=has been
Immune to this

Perhaps that is WHY=I like
To BELIEVE=that I belong
To God=Or Jesus

Rather than any particular religion=
The GOD of LOVE=the God of Jesus
What we ALL aspire to be=
PERFECT LOVE=just like Jesus

How PRICELESS
Is your UNFAILING LOVE
O God!

People take refuge
In the shadow
Of your wings” Psalm 36:7

Hatred stirs up CONFLICT
But LOVE COVERS OVER
All wrongs” Proverbs 10:12

A NEW command
I give you=
LOVE ONE ANOTHER

As I have loved you
So you must LOVE one another

By this everyone
Will know that you
Are my DISCIPLES

If you LOVE ONE ANOTHER” John 13:34-35

IT does NOT matter
What faith that you claim
You do NOT know God
You do not know Jesus

If you are killing
As an ACT of worship

You have MISSED
The message of GOD
The MESSAGE of LOVE

They STUMBLE
Because they disobey
The MESSAGE----------------

Which is also
What they were DESTINED for” 1 Peter 2:8

Jesus' MESSAGE OF LOVE
Calls for each of us----------------
DEEPLY AND HONESTLY

To REFLECT on our own attitudes
Towards others

Particularly others of different
Nationalities and religions

ALWAYS in the name of Jesus and OUR ALL LOVING GOD
