PAUL PREACHED....YET WITHOUT LOVE ALL THIS LABOR AND SACRIFICING PROFITS ME NOTHING...WHAT A WORD FOR TODAY....JESUS SAID...WHEN YOU TAKE UP YOUR CROSS DAILY, WHICH MEANS WHEN YOU LOVE AND GIVE YOUR LIFE FOR OTHERS BEFORE YOURSELF AS HE DID, IT IS THEN YOU WILL FIND THE LIFE OF JOY AND GLADNESS YOU SEEK....

         When our hearts get to the grace place where we are continuously preferring others above and before ourselves. When living to serve others and to bless them is our constant purpose, conviction and way of life. Then and then only have we really matured in the love, faith and knowledge of the Son of God.  Plus it is only then when we will truly find the joy and satisfaction in life that we all seek.  Any falling short of this (cross mark) reveals to even our own hearts, that formations within us of pride and of self vain worship still exist. Someone fell from heaven bearing that spirit, (remember)?

      We as a people in America have become a land of idols and we our selves are those idols, American Idols.....God please help and heal our hearts and souls from this unheavenly destructive behavior and course for this is not good for the American spirit nor soul, and it certainly will not help us achieve a more perfect union.  It only divides us even more...A word to note here. Lucifer became so full of pride and self vain worship that you talk about division my friend. HE GOT ETERNALLY DIVIDED FROM GOD AND HEAVEN FOREVER....hmmmm ....a sobering thought.

       I close with this......Jesus said: They that will be my disciples must first deny themselves.  Secondly, they must take up their cross daily. Thirdly, they must obey and follow me. What was Jesus doing every day?  He said to Mary his mother....Did you not know that I must be about my Fathers business?  He told the disciples...The Son of man came down from heaven not to be served BUT TO SERVE AND TO GIVE HIS LIFE FOR OTHERS- EVEN AS A RANSOM.

     The secret to HEAVENS JOY AND PARADISE LIFE is to love God, obey Jesus (His Word) and to glady serve one another.....Amen......DENO.......... AMERICA FOUNDED BY BELIEVERS FOR BELIEVERS
