Thankful for these words today, at a time when I've been reading too much from Godless, human-based views that lead to feelings of hopelessness. We have to remember that God is above all, lean more into our Belief in Him and stop trying to manage with our limited human ways.
When I am in church-based groups, the people are all seeking Godly connection and community, as if we are hovering together. There is a pressure of urgency and I share important key points focusing on Jesus' words.
Note: *Truly we are not developing a 'following' for ourselves, that is the mark of a false prophet* (Deut 13).
Thankful I understand what I didn't before and can point to where the Truths are and explain fairly simply. Sometimes it gets quiet because they maybe haven't understood what has been there right in the Bible for generations - we've been distracted and misled by 'leaders' that LOOK like Believers, but... are not.
Mostly I insist that people read for themselves and to start simply by reading either Matthew or Luke fully from beginning to end, then add John and Mark. Jesus always pointed to God our Father and Creator and so should we.
Thank You God 🙌🏻 for the clarity. Thank You Jesus for the Holy Spirit to guide my words and actions. 🙏🏻
Thank you for sharing this. Your comment perfectly demonstrates today's lesson—how clarity serves the Kingdom better than cleverness. I love that you're pointing people directly to Jesus' words and encouraging them to read Matthew, Luke, John, and Mark for themselves rather than relying on complex interpretations. That's exactly the kind of clear trumpet call our world needs. Keep sounding that clear call. Lives depend on it!
Paul lays out the simplicity of the gospel in 1 Corinthians 15:3-7. I'm not saying one must necessarily memorize this word for word (though it's not a bad idea!), it's the basics of the truth.
"I passed on to you what was most important and what had also been passed on to me. Christ died for our sins, just as the Scriptures said.
He was buried, and he was raised from the dead on the third day, just as the Scriptures said.
He was seen by Peter and then by the Twelve.
After that, he was seen by more than 500 of his followers at one time, most of whom are still alive, though some have died.
Then he was seen by James and later by all the apostles."

I think we tend to complicate things when we don't need to.
I'm sure of that. It's part of the enemy's plan to keep us in a confused and uncertain state. Simplify, simplify, simplify.
