Allow Jesus to Edit You

I am amazed at Christian’s who never change their beliefs about things. And who even get angry when others change or update their beliefs.

Not sure we are following the same Lord? Maybe your clergy is lord, and He changes not.

But the truth is …Unless you are Jesus himself your interpretation and understanding of the Lord and of scripture is flawed in part & incomplete.

Now go and reconsider something you thought was true, let Jesus do some edits. You don’t have to change your mind just reconsider it.

This is a Jesus thing, some call it ‘the renewing of the mind’, some call it ‘being transformed into his image.’ Whatever you call it, it’s wonderful and it reminds me continually that I have a living Lord. Who is forever pouring himself into me.

The Real Foundation of Christian Love

Christian loyalty and love one for another is nullified and torn apart if it is not within Jesus Christ!

So then how can we know if it originates from Jesus Christ?

It is Very Simple, so simple it is often overlooked.

ANY hint whatsoever of permanent hierarchy, favoritism, ongoing preeminence of one Christian or family over many. (Today we call these pastors or priests or bishops)

This nullifies the entire group as being from the lord and pushes the entire group outside of the rule and reign of Jesus Christ. Still Christians yes but now just a general association of Christians. Something vital and life-giving is gone. Where Jesus is not in charge essentially becomes a religious club, a ministry of a certain skilled man or families, it also can easily become then a cult of personality.

Good people, good motives, but not a group that’s of, by, and to our Lord Jesus. Their loyalty, unity with, and and love for one another will then necessarily become shallow and cold and human based and then will cease to be love at all.

Only in submission to and cooperation with Jesus Christ can real love and loyalty grow and happen between Jesus followers. This is the real church, the ecclesia, growing upon the ground of equality, and of Christ living and expressing himself through each member freely, as he wants. Unmanageable by any man. Uncontrollable by any marketing program or business leader. Pastors are to train their people to meet this way, then lay down all permanent dominance over a group.

Behold The Power of Religious Tradition

Jesus was very critical of religious tradition and how it “nullified Gods word.” He still is.

If a certain tradition we follow originated with the pagan religions we should make very sure that Jesus is ok with it before following in our parents footsteps.

If we REFUSE to do that we become a very bad influence on the next generation, especially our own kids.

Not caring about what Jesus wants…

Not caring how we are actively leading our children away from the will of the Lord Jesus.

….Behold the power of religious tradition.
