The Devotional - A Look at the Book #837

by Jesse Abel


A Word from Papa “J”

Cops and robbers is a child’s game of the past played by many of us old folks. Some of us even grew up as law breakers. Now that is a “HOOT” and here is why! It is impossible to “break a law”. It is you and me who are broken, not the law; it is our name that is shattered and our lives that are broken! The LAW still stands solid and unmovable.
Good Morning

If there is one thing in life that I mind doing, but willing to do if there is purpose in it; is to weep. In my lifetime as in yours we have choked back tears that should have had the front row seat. As children we learn that by crying those giant alligator tears we could gain another cookie from the old cookie jar, only to find out later in life that those alligators could take a bite out of life since alligators do not like cookies.

I think that this is one of those…” I am going to pick on religion and cult days” and if you choose to get mad at me over it, that is perfectly okay since I would care more for your anger then some complacent reaction that may have caused us as a nation to drift from the One True God.
Now you may be saying… so who is God? That is a good question and I am glad you asked. First let me tell you who He is not.

(1) He is not a liberal Jesus who can double as a male or female, or who according to some misguided soul claims that his or her Jesus was married and had children, who died and is in a grave. Liberal theology does not teach that Jesus rose from the dead, therefore their God is DEAD. Revelation 1:18

(2) The cult called Jehovah Witness has a Jesus also, who according to their doctrines is Michael the Archangel, who is a created being of God. Why would the Creator, create a god? Would this not be idolatry? God clearly hates idolatry. “You shall have no other god before ME” Exodus 20:2-3

(3) Lastly, the Mormon Church; sort of in-between a cult and Christianity. Their Jesus is believed to be the spirit brother of Lucifer. This belief stems from the published thoughts of the past leaders of that church that seek to over-ride the Holy Bible. The Living Word of God (The Bible) is just that: “ALIVE” and the thoughts of these past leaders of the Mormon church are “DEAD” along with their rotting bones. Matthew 23:27

Now for the BEST part: “As you have therefore received Christ Jesus the LORD, so walk in HIM, rooted and built up in HIM and established in the FAITH as you have been taught, abounding in HIM (within) with thanksgiving.

Beware lest anyone cheat you through philosophy and empty deceit, according to the traditions of men, according to the basic principles of the world, and not according to Christ. For in HIM dwells all the fullness of the GODHEAD bodily (in HIS human body or form); and you are complete in HIM, who is the head of all principality and power. Colossians 2:6-10

There is someone of the past whom you know who understood this and who was bold to present this faith in JESUS. Take the four to five minutes and watch as he explains this truth from various parts of the United States, even from the Oval Office.

And Gary… thanks for sending me this wonderful film:
