Service Out of Love

When I was a young pastor, a minister of a protestant denomination shared to me about how the leadership in his church requires him to report what he did during the week. He was also instructed when he accepted the call to at least have a set time for visitation and some kind of a quota in home visits, Bible studies or in soul winning. He was even asked to have a 'time log' although it was not necessary for him to report.

It is sad when churches and religious organizations are becoming like a business by the way the leadership runs the system. Pastors, Missionaries, Church Planters, and Spiritual Leaders are treated like employees.

Accountability is great, but putting a shadow of pressure on the paid personnel is unnecessary. The danger of pleasing the boss is imminent. It distracts the goal of pleasing God and doing things with motivation and out love. Notice what apostle Peter says; 1 Peter 5:2- 3 KJV
"2- Feed the flock of God which is among you, taking the oversight thereof, not by constraint, but willingly; not for filthy lucre, but of a ready mind; 3- Neither as being lords over God's heritage, but being ensamples to the flock." #Boklit

Loving a person does not mean you always have to agree with each other on everything. It does not mean you're not supposed to rebuke and tell them the truth about their bad attitudes, about their sins, and weaknesses. Telling them the truth is actually your outward expression of your love for them from within.

Compare Capitalism to Socialism and Communism

Comparing Capitalism to Socialism and Communism

Senator Bernie Sanders could be the pipeline of the Socialist/Communist Party in accomplishing their long dreamed goal. The words of former USSR leader... Soviet leader Nikita Khrushchev said: "We cannot expect the Americans to jump from capitalism to communism, but we can assist their elected leaders in giving Americans small doses of socialism, until they suddenly awake to find they have communism."

Americans needs to wake up. Do your homework and search and research. Don't just listen, clap your hands, shouts, and nod in hype without knowing what you are into.

The Democrats with Bernie Sanders will promise you all these Free Stuff because that's what Socialism and next Communism is all about.

We cannot blindly vote for someone whose political stands, conviction, and beliefs are opposite to what the Founding Fathers have in mind. Socialism and Communism were never been, and will never be, and should not be of the USA's governance or in its government systems.

The Philippine government had been in warfare with the Communists/Socialists for decades already, and thousands have died a long time ago, until now.  Unfortunately, some of my relatives were the victims of such class struggle.

According to Wikipedia: "In The Communist Manifesto, Karl Marx argued that a class is formed when its members achieve class consciousness and solidarity.[17] This largely happens when the members of a class become aware of their exploitation and the conflict with another class. A class will then realize their shared interests and a common identity. According to Marx, a class will then take action against those that are exploiting the lower classes.

What Marx points out is that members of each of the two main classes have interests in common. These class or collective interests are in conflict with those of the other class as a whole. This in turn leads to conflict between individual members of different classes."

Some countries were turned upside down from Capitalism to Socialism and then Communism using their Political Arm, such as the National Democratic   Front in the Philippines or through Arm Struggle such as the Cuban Revolution.

Bernie Sanders and the Democratic Party can make it happen if we don't educate ourselves about Socialism and Communism. We should know where the Politicians we are voting stands in terms of where they are leading our country, and we should know their Political views.

Indoctrination of the attendees with Socialism and Communism through their political rallies is an excellent way of stealing votes and deceiving the voters. Promising them of something impossible to accomplish is another thing. Believe it or not- its the same promises the Communists promises the peasants in the third world countries until they captured their hearts and minds, and embraced Communists Ideology.

The secret is read and compare Capitalism to Socialism and Communism. Thanks for reading.

It's not easy to love the unpleasant, unlovable, unloving, or hateful; but God is honored if we do so. Luke 6:35 KJV But love ye your enemies, and do good, and lend, hoping for nothing again; and your reward shall be great, and ye shall be the children of the Highest: for he is kind unto the unthankful and to the evil.

You are a liar if you don't love the brethren. 1 John 4:19-20 KJV
We love him, because he first loved us. [20] If a man say, I love God, and hateth his brother, he is a liar: for he that loveth not his brother whom he hath seen, how can he love God whom he hath not seen?

Love must not just be put into practice to people near you, loves you, supports you, and like you. It is shared to your enemies, people who gossips about you, to those who dishonor and dishonest to you, and even for those who hated you. Matthew 5:43-46 KJV "Ye have heard that it hath been said, Thou shalt love thy neighbour, and hate thine enemy. [44] But I say unto you, Love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you, and pray for them which despitefully use you, and persecute you; [45] That ye may be the children of your Father which is in heaven: for he maketh his sun to rise on the evil and on the good, and sendeth rain on the just and on the unjust. [46] For if ye love them which love you, what reward have ye? do not even the publicans the same?"

Go to church, and go there early! When Jesus carried the cross for you in the heat of the day, He did it out of love. He shed His blood for your Salvation. Now, why is it so hard for you to put on your winter coat and sit for an hour at church?

Don't tell me you love God and can't love your brothers and sisters in the Lord. If you say; "I love God…" and on the other hand you wish people you don't like or disagree with, or your enemy will die or be dead, and even hated them to death; unfortunately, you are either a hypocrite, not a Christian or you don't really love God. Of that being said, of which (I firmly believe), it also confirms your hypocrisy, and being an unbeliever of the Lord Jesus Christ. 1 John 4:20 KJV If a man say, I love God, and hateth his brother, he is a liar: for he that loveth not his brother whom he hath seen, how can he love God whom he hath not seen?
