"Let him that stole steal no more: but rather let him labour, working with his hands the thing which is good, that he may have to give to him that needeth." Ephesians 4:28 (KJV)

Our former Pastor discussed how people can make God's word fit their agenda.

"Let him that stole steal, that he may have to give to him that needeth. No more let him labour working with his hands, the thing which is good." Hezekiah 4:48 (MOV) :D

Sounds like the Robin Hood Effect. Steal to give to others. lol Learn God's Word so you know when someone is pulling your leg. Take a bible to church. Fact check the Minister. Don't just take his word for it.

By the way, there is no book of Hezekiah and MOV means "My Own Version". lol

No Word, no God. Know Word, know God.

Here is a two-fer (two for one). EG2 and a question.

What does the last sentence mean to you?

"There is no fear in love; but perfect love casts out fear, because fear has punishment. He who fears is not made perfect in love." 1 John 4:18 WEB

"For this is the message which you heard from the beginning, that we should love one another;" 1 John 3:11 WEB

Love is not hard. "You don't love me", says one. "Yes, I do", says the other. Can one truly determine whether another loves? I say, No.

People often base love on a standard of what one does for or to them, or not. There are many ways to love. I can truly say I love everyone. I love because God does and He said to. Who you are and what you do has nothing to do with it.

To love isn't to be confused with like. One can love another but not like them. To like "is" based on a standard. When necessary, I can set aside the fact that I don't like someone. For instance, to accomplish a task has nothing to do with liking you. But, as Whitney Houston sang, "I will always love you". <3

I love this by William Shakespeare.

“Doubt thou the stars are fire; Doubt that the sun doth move; Doubt truth to be a liar; But never doubt I love.” ― William Shakespeare, Hamlet

Valentine's Day is not just for couples. It is a day to love others,  yourself and recognize God's (and Jesus's) love for you.

"For God so loved the world, that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish, but have eternal life." John 3:16 WEB

Happy Valentine's Day ~ Embrace Grace Too 💖

"You who love Yahweh, hate evil. He preserves the souls of his saints. He delivers them out of the hand of the wicked." Psalm 97:10 WEB

Yes He did, until there were no more wicked against me. God is Good. YEZZZZZ!!!
