FAMILY AFFAIR

Christianity is Exclusive.
So is my family, by the way.

I come from the Morency family.
There is no other family like my family.
I mean, Dad is Claude, Mom is Rolande,
and Serge, Danielle and Christian are my siblings.
You cannot be a part of my family
unless you were born into it.

That's just the way it is.

Now, about another family.


Jesus explains to Nicodemus:

"Verily, verily, I say unto thee,
Except a man be born again,
he cannot see the kingdom of God.

Nicodemus saith unto him,
How can a man be born when he is old?
can he enter the second time
into his mother's womb,
and be born? Jesus answered,

Verily, verily, I say unto thee,
Except a man be born of water and of the Spirit,
he cannot enter into the kingdom of God.

That which is born of the flesh is flesh;
and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit.
Marvel not that I said unto thee,
Ye must be born again. "

John 3:3-7

And to the woman at the well...

Again, He speaks explicitly...

"But an hour is coming, and now is,
when the true worshipers
will worship the Father
in spirit and in truth;
for such people the Father seeks
to be His worshipers.

"God is Spirit,
and those who worship Him
must worship Him in Spirit and truth."
-John 4:23, 24

That's just how it is.

You must be born INTO God's family.
Then and only then can you call Him Father...

All are born of the water of the womb. (physical)

All are called to be born of the spirit of God. (spiritual)

But not all respond. They just don't want to.

So, a Father is an exclusive Thing -
He does not impose Himself on anyone.
He's looking for those who will Love Him...
He is not interested in pre-programmed,
cold, heartless, and mindless children.

So there is a choice to be made -
all for the sake of true love.

It's a family affair...
And it's totally,
lovingly,
fair.

"The LORD hath appeared of old unto me, saying,
Yea, I have loved thee with an everlasting love:
therefore with loving kindness have I drawn thee."

Jeremiah 31:3

FROM NO LIMBS TO NO LIMITS

Would you like to witness someone who loves God
in the midst of most excruciating circumstances?

Ugh... excuse me.

No - from what I gather from his testimony,
excruciating would not be the right description.
This gentlemanly soul has learned to live life
trusting God through it all.

Would that I could do as well.

After 3 minutes of preliminary video snippets,
he gives a combined interview/message that will
inspire anyone. Well, hopefully... anyone...

Enjoy...

LOVER OF LIGHT

Walk in the Light,
Think in the Light,
Keep in the Light.

At any given moment,
You're either in Darkness -
Or you're in the Light...

At any given moment,
Make your Choice.

From the beginning,
It was all about Choice.
It's still all about Choice.
