OneWalk: Love the Lord your God with all your heart

PRAYER:Gracious God, you are love, indeed. You are self-giving, faithful, abiding, never-ending love. All praise be to you!

You have loved us in so many ways, dear Lord, our God, but most of all by giving us your Son, who showed us your love, and who, by love, gave his life on the cross. Your love became human in Jesus, for our sake. All praise be to you!

Forgive us, Lord, when we think we can make you love us more by our actions. Yes, we can please and honor you, but your love for us comes first and foremost. We love because you first loved us. All praise be to you!

Help us, Lord, to respond to your love by loving you. May we give our love to you through all that we are, even in our daily work. May our work this day be an expression of our love, our response to how much you love us. All praise be to you! Amen.

We need to listen to Jesus. Not the voice of a Pharisee……

Poem – Looking forward (Rocky)

Jesus never calls us out
For what we used to be.
His voice is so much greater
Than paul the Pharisee.

“You are Simon son of John”
Said Jesus, without elaboration.
No mention of a cloudy past
No hint of condemnation.

No accusation against the brothers
No comments dark and obscure,
Writing to the Church in Corinth
“that is what some of you were.”

Not the voice of the accuser,
Boss Paul the Pharisee,
Telling the redeemed people of God
About what they used to be.

Jesus never said right is wrong,
He never said wrong is right.
He came so we can turn from darkness
And into His glorious light.

“Neither do I condemn you” said Jesus,
To a woman entrapped by dogs.
The game the dogs play is the same today,
Except now they do it on blogs.

“Go, and sin no more” said Jesus,
Don’t relive that history.
Look forward, not back, don’t dwell on your past.
“You will be called” Rocky.

Looking forward – Chapter 2

“I am he who searches hearts and minds”
says the Risen Jesus Christ
“Repent and do what you did at first”
Don’t be lazy since He paid the price

Yes, Jesus sees our sins today
Don’t think that He is blind
But the words of paul the Pharisee
Will put you in a bind

Jesus washed away your sins
Don’t listen to paul the accuser
paul abandoned the Church in Corinth
And then paul became an abuser

When you put your trust in Jesus
Yes, your stains were white as snow
You didn’t need to wear a Scarlet Letter
Everywhere you go

“I will repay each of you
According to your deeds”
This is Jesus speaking to The Church
Not a business selling felt needs

For “those who claim to be apostles”
Jesus said they must be “tested”
Priscilla, Aquila, and Apollos
Persevered and were not bested

They exposed the false teachings
Of paul the Pharisee
So the Church in Ephesus rejected paul
And had a chance to be free
