 LIVING IN THE KINGDOM OF GOD MARCH 14, 2024

In the Precious Name of Jesus Christ, we extend greetings to God’s people throughout the world. We continue those greetings with words from Hebrews 1 and 2.

1:1 “God, who at sundry times and in divers manners spake in time past unto the fathers by the prophets, 1:2 Hath in these last days spoken unto us by his Son, whom he hath appointed heir of all things, by whom also he made the worlds, 1:3 Who, being the brightness of his glory, and the express image of his person, and upholding all things by the word of his power, when he had by himself purged our sins, sat down on the right hand of the Majesty on high, 1:4 Being made so much better than the angels, as he hath by inheritance obtained a more excellent name than they.

2:1 Therefore, we ought to give the more earnest heed to the things which we have heard, lest at any time we should let them slip. 2:2 For if the word spoken by angels was steadfast and every transgression and disobedience received a just recompense of reward, 2:3 How shall we escape if we neglect so great salvation, which at the first began to be spoken by the Lord and was confirmed unto us by them that heard him, 2:4 God also bearing them witness, both with signs, and wonders, and with divers miracles, and gifts of the Holy Ghost, according to his own will.”

This is further indication that God has spoken, does speak and will continue to speak to those who are willing to listen. As we all know, very well, the reputation of the Israelites, Jaredites, Nephites, Lamanites and Latter Day Saintites has been to basically to hear the word of God and not respond, except as and when we want to or have great needs. What kind of “Kingdom builders” does that make us? Is there evidence that we are “Building up the Kingdom and establishing His righteousness?”

The real essence of idolatry comes in calling a bad thing good and a good thing bad. Before long it becomes impossible to discriminate between values. This was taken from a 1988 Daily Bread.
What would that author say today? If there is no “right and wrong,” there is no morality and God is removed from the center of the universe. Is God removed from the public all over the world?

We know that in all things, God reigns Supreme. There is a standard by which all truth is determined: JESUS CHRIST. He told us to “Seek first to build up His Kingdom and to establish His righteousness.”
That is still, our task, even in today’s world. As the hymn states, “Let us walk, live, and function IN THE LIGHT OF GOD.

God Bless

GOD IS MARSHALING HIS ARMY

How does God marshal His army? Probably according to our response to His commandments.
A non-chalant casual, not very diligent soldier would not be of much, if any value to the over-all purpose of an army. Remember Gideon’s army started with 32, 000, then went to 10, 000 and finally 300 and then went into battle with no real physical weapons. Pitchers, candles, trumpets and strong voices. Not one of Gideon’s soldiers were lost or even injured, because the enemy ran away. That proved that it was God’s army, God’s battle and God’s victory.
