8 woe's

In today's climate we have to be careful to not have our opinions and vision skewed from what God requires of us as Christians.  If we forget to show justice, mercy, and faith then we are wrong.  It seems the church has allowed ourselves to be split by politicians and the media which not only causes division among us as believers, but can cause division between us and the Lord.  While the government has a role to play we as the Church have to ask ourselves what the Bible says in how we are to treat other people especially foreigners.  The moment we do not show judgement, mercy, faith, love, and compassion then "woe" to us.  The minute we treat or see human beings as animals then "woe" to us.  As the church, our actions are starting to identify more like the scribes and Pharisees and less like Christ.  Christians need to learn to not get caught up in various and strange doctrines, and instead not allow the bad teaching to kill, steal, and destroy their lives.  We must do what the Bible says and not what someone opinion says.

I challenge us to read the Scriptures below and pray about where your heart is.
