#49 Common Themes of Many Religions (1/04/26)

Please consider:

They seek to conform to their perception of Godly standards by strength of flesh (including the mind) and not a change of heart. This includes much of contemporary Christianity.

Matt 15:7 You hypocrites! Isaiah was right when he prophesied about you: 8 "'These people honor me with their lips,but their hearts are far from me.

9 They worship me in vain; their teachings are merely
human rules.' "

#50 Godly Standards (1/11/26)

Please consider:

Let's not confuse Godly Standards and Godly Means

The great commission: Mark 12:30 Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind and with all your strength.' 31 The second is this: 'Love your neighbor as yourself.' There is no commandment greater than these."

Many have suggested that Love is a choice. I wholeheartedly disagree. If we seek to implement the Standard of love by way of the strength of our flesh, we at best can only love conditionally.

Unconditional love entails freedom in and of the Spirit of God. It is the ultimate of Godly Standards and can only be attained by Godly Means.

Godly Means pertains not only to the Ultimate Standard of Love, but it also includes any Godly Standard or Policy

The Godly means are inclusive of, but not limited to:

• Praying without ceasing

• Forgiving

• Seeking God first

• Asking and Seeking and Knocking

• Avoiding reliance on mere knowledge of God's written Word or the wisdom of men, which merely puffs up
