Why? Aren’t we supposed to be trying to get along? I mean, how can we possibly come up with solutions to our own problems when it seems we can’t even disagree in a peaceful way? We can’t even seem to accomplish this in Congress with people that supposedly know each other, even if they are on different sides of the political aisle! Why is our society acting like a group of spoiled children who can’t have their way?
We are supposed to be working toward a society which can bring some semblance of peace, if not in the world then surely in our own country! The reason for all of this discord and hatred in our country and all over the world falls on one personal fault which everyone has and that is pride. The obstacle which is the root of nearly all of the sins in the Bible from the beginning to the end is this one!
We are living in the time just prior to the Great Tribulation and that is another contributing factor which is making our world and the people living here act like mortal enemies. Satan is pushing the buttons of every person who has a prideful idea or thought or harbors pride in themselves believing that they are better than those around them.
Each of us is the person that we are supposed to be, unfortunately, some think that they are different and special in a way which makes them better than those around them. They believe in themselves true enough but outside of that, they look down on other people. This is the most serious form of pride which can cause a person to believe that they are “like god” or “like a god”.
We are created beings, just as the angels are, and we are not gods. Though we are created in the image of God, we are not gods and never will be. It is a false teaching which has been spread around the world that this will happen when we if we are Christians, make our home in Heaven. We will have a body like Jesus had when He was resurrected but we will not be gods.
God loves each of us and we will enjoy eternity with Him as His adopted children, nothing more. We may fill some useful post in His Kingdom one day or even during the 1,000-year reign on Earth of Jesus but other than that we will be His people and HE will be our King! Seeking to know Him better here and now is the responsibility of every Christian and it is a job which we should take very seriously. To grow to be a mature Christian, living in the strength and power of Jesus every day will allow us to carry His Image with us wherever we go…until He comes for the Church.
33 But seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things will be added unto you. Matt. 6:33
The Kingdom of God is our life in Jesus Christ walking with Him daily, praying and studying His Word and doing those things which He would do if He were here, at least to the best of our ability.
The Living Message of Christ 
It is so sad to see many people spewing hatred toward each other. It has been happening a lot at school lately. Not only that, but our kids view it as a prank when it is just pure evil. Last night, someone hacked into our class page for PE and posted sexual comments on the teacher’s page. Just two years ago, someone hacked into our school email accounts and posted hateful pictures and racist words against blacks, gays, and Jews. One of them used a reference to Revelations 2:9, calling Jews “the synagogue of Satan”. Hatred is not only a spirit; it’s a contagious virus plaguing our generation. We may view these kids as foolish and call them idiots. That’s true. But, if you look deep down, arrogance and pride has plagued their hearts. You can be intelligent and follish, just as you could be wise and illiterate. These are instigators working as a merthpiece of Satan to sow bigotry in this land.
Jesus gave us a simple commandment to LOVE our neighbr, yet we don’t want to abide by that rule!! I don’t care if you memorized all of the Scriptures cover to cover. There is absolutely zero excuse to harbor hate against your fellow neighbor, whether they are Catholic, Protestant, Jew, Gentile, atheist, blindcak, or any of that. This will be a rather harsh rebuke I am about to give, but you are no better than Satan if you quote all the Scriptures and don’t live by them, and have the guts to use it as a weapon to tear people down for your own twisted gain!! Don’t give me Jeremiah 29:11 if you can’t live by “love thy neighbor”. Dom’t give me Revelations 12:9 if you can’t accept 1 Peter 5:8! Don’t give me Romans 10:9 while you poison your brother with rash judgement!
In the aftermath of the incident in 2020, I posted a commentary on Revelations 2:9. I pray that this will open your eyes to the truth, and lead you to transformation.
