"Greetings in the Name of Our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ for 11 September 2011"
Before I begin, I would like for those reading this, to take a few moments in silent prayer for those that lost there loved ones in the terrorist attacks on the World Trade Center on this date 10 years ago.
Today's Bible Verse: Matthew 18:15 "Moreover if your brother sins against you, go and tell him his fault between you and him alone. If he hears you, you have gained your brother."
Believers are family as well as flock. In any family, brothers and sisters do not sin against and hurt one another. Here in this verse Jesus emphasizes the necessity of reconciliation. The one who is hurt is to confront the other in an effort to win reconciliation.
If the offender will not acknowledge his or her fault others are brought in because there can be no reconciliation without confession by the one at fault and forgiveness by the one offended. In going to another we show our readiness to forgive. To preserve "little oneness" in the church, we must insist the offender face his of her fault. If the erring one will will not respond, then that person be cut off from the fellowship. This loss would be extremely painful to the offender.
Today' Hymn: "Grace Greater Than Our Sin"
Marvelous grace of our loving Lord, grace that exceeds our sin and our doubt
Yonder on Calvary's mount our poured, there where the blood of the Lamb was spilled
Grace, grace, God's grace, Grace that will pardon and cleanse within
Grace, Grace, God's grace, Grace that is greater than all our sins
Heavenly Father, Lord Jesus, Holy Spirit, may we as Christians follow the example of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ and forgive those that have done us wrong. May we act in good faith and the right spirit in attempting to work out a reconciliation to those who have done us wrong, just as you Father, have forgiven us of our sins, when we confessed our sins to you.
Amen
Today's Biblical Truth: "Judge not, that you not be judged."

Have a God Filled and Spirit Led Day. Go in Peace and Serve the Lord our God with Gladness. Love God More Today and always remember that when you have a spiritual dilemma in your life and you yell out, "I CAN'T", God whispers to you, "BUT I CAN".
"The Law of the Lord is perfect, converting the soul; The testimony of the Lord is sure, making wise the simple. Psalm 19:7.
