All Eyes on Jesus! Now Keep Them There!

If we, as individual church groups could see ourselves, and all our actions as God sees them, would we change what we do? Of course, not everything we do may need changing, but even so, could those things that don't need changing be perfected? One could say that we are like a planet, constantly swinging in and out of orbit, easily pulled away by all sorts of bizarre ideas like, "toking" the Holy Ghost, and having get drunk on the Holy Spirit sessions. And though I myself may have an opinion concerning the above, I don't think it's necessary to state it. Generally speaking, there are so many other things that we tend to experiment with in search of spiritual truth and spiritual satisfaction; and some of these ideas have been in existence for such a long time, that they have unfortunately become the norm. 

The fruit we produce, is never of good soil as it were, unless we meet some basic requirements. Our fruit, meaning our expressions and works, are in direct relation to the depth of our holiness; and to give a realistic, and unmistakably perfect example to learn from, in order to achieve this holiness, I would recommend to fix ones eyes on Yeshua. This in no doubt also includes His teaching, and in doing so, one can persistently measure his or her ways, throwing aside those things which contaminate our holiness, whilst fastening ourselves to the things which purify us. 


Ideally, this is how we would live from day to day, always bringing ourselves back into orbit around our shining star Yeshua, and His word. If we were to do so, I for one am convinced that many of the controversial, and I must state, unbiblical practises and ideas, will inevitably cease to live in the midst of us. I say it once again, decide for yourself! but let's not invent things, for God is the creator. Let's keep our eyes on Him.

One Church, My Prayer

I love the idea of oneness, that is, I love the idea of one church. Just Imagine, every believer in Yeshua united for the Gospel and for the will of God... After all, neither the bible nor Yeshua Himself is defined by any particular denomination. Just truth.

Doctrine, which I believe is the primary reason for our numerous denominations, and lack of unity, is only biblically sound when it presents the complete truth that the Bible teaches, and not what we ourselves understand or validate. The Bible actually has something to teach us, and let's never forget that It already has it's truth embedded within the writing.

We, instead of reading around or through it, should instead read from it. In other words, one should begin interpretation or study of scripture with the question: What is the bible telling me here? Not: what can I get from this, make of this, or worse still, let me just add this in to meet my deadline, because I am speaking at a conference next week. There are many reasons why we fail to see the real truth in biblical doctrine, but ultimately, failure starts with us.

I know that there are always disagreements in regards to the meanings of some biblical texts. But there are some things that are fundamental and explicitly shown as being wrong. Decide for yourself, but I know that whether it be in the first testament or the second, bowing before, praying to, or worshipping a statue or image of any kind is utterly forbidden.

Now I am not attacking any particular denomination, I am however highlighting one major fact. The  church needs to seek the truth, and be ready to adjust it's ways and teaching.
