Is Obeying the Law Easier Than Facing the Truth?

Is Obeying the Law Easier Than Facing the Truth?
It is very important to choose to see and
embrace the truth in every situation.
The Pharisees were seekers of the truth in some cases,
but not embracers of the truth.
They sought the Messiah, but when He came they didn’t embrace Him
because the truth was too costly to face.
Obeying the law was much easier than facing the truth.
They chose to blind themselves to the truth, and ultimately kill the truth,
following the law instead.
It is very important to look at everything through
the eyes of truth rather than the law.
What is the truth anyway?
Is it what we think it is?
What is the truth about people who lack the ability to love?
Are they bad people, or have they never been loved?
What is the truth about unsaved people?
Do they not want Jesus, or have they never been
introduced to the real Jesus?
What is the truth about those who kill?
Are they bad people, or could they have been
abused, molested, or hurt in the past?
What is the truth about Muslim suicide bombers?
Do they kill because they enjoy killing,
or could they have been deceived and misinformed?
What is the truth about homeless people who ask for food or money?
Are they all the same?
It is so easy to categorize everything, including people.
And it’s so easy to judge according to the law of good and evil,
but it is not easy to seek the truth and embrace it.
Let us ask the Lord to help us see
and embrace the truth, in His beautiful name.

From Getting to Giving

From Getting to Giving I had a meeting with a minister today and it was very hard for me. When I got back home, I asked the Lord to tell me the reason. I felt He said that I went to the meeting to receive, not to give. I went to the meeting to get some possible connection for future ministry. May the Lord change our attitude from getting to giving . Selfishness will creep in on us and jump on our shoulders. No matter what we do, if we do it to gain something, we will never be satisfied. Most of our giving is conditional, and conditional acts open the door for our old nature to kick in. Unconditional acts open the door for our new nature to come in. When our new nature rules, there is peace and comfort in the Spirit. But when our old nature rules, there is agony and discomfort. May we allow the Spirit of God to come out of us through our unconditional acts and thoughts. From Kamran Yaraei’s Book “Food For The Heart”.

He Comes to Kill

He Comes to Kill When facing a thief with a gun in our houses or workplaces, we think that if we give him all of our money, then he will leave us alone and let us live. Sometimes we have the same mindset when we meet Jesus. We believe that if we give everything we have to the Lord, and serve Him well, then He might just let us live. But the point is this: The Lord doesn’t come to steal, but to kill. He is not after our possessions, He is after our flesh—our old, sinful nature. The Lord will use all of our daily struggles to kill our flesh. Our good works and giving will not stop Him from doing this. “Whoever seeks to keep his life will lose it, and whoever loses his life will preserve it” (Luke 17:33). It is very important to know that as we get closer to the Lord, we get closer to the death of our flesh. This should be great news to us. He wants us to get close enough that He can kill our old nature, which is thoroughly described in Galatians 5:19-20: Now the works of the flesh are ev...
