ON “DREAMY DEVOTION – 2”

ON “DREAMY DEVOTION – 2”

Martin Luther concluded his statement on dreamy devotion as follows: “But they do not look by their side to see how many of their fellow humans need their help, and which they ignore in their misery. Who is there upon earth that has no poor, miserable, sick, erring ones around him? Why does he not exercise his love for those? Why does he not do to them as Christ has done to him?” That’s it!!!

Martin Luther said, “There are many who are enkindled with dreamy devotion, and when they hear of the poverty of Christ, they are almost angry with the citizens of Bethlehem. They denounce their blindness and ingratitude, and think, if they had been there, they would have shown the Lord and his mother a more kindly service and would not have permitted them to be treated so miserably.”  Dreamy devotees lack accurately, what the poverty of Christ meant!!! That’s it!!!

They presented no danger to him; he could use them and yet keep his heart completely free of them. But he knew that it is scarcely possible for people to have possessions without succumbing to them and being enslaved by them. …” That’s it!!!

I do not need your money; give it to the poor, and I will accept…

ON “BE CONTENT”

ON “BE CONTENT”

Have you heard Jesus Christ saying to you, “Dear Son/Daughter, I desire nothing but that you shall sing ‘Glory to God in the highest’ and be content? I condescended and shall be even poorer in the Garden of Olives and on the Holy Cross to give eternal life.” That’s it!!!

ON “THE ANCHOR OF SOULS”

Everything that is to know in this generation, we have to know by faith. I’m not trying to belittle the science of knowing. For faith to work for us, we must know the word of faith. For example,  faith is not a mystical something. The Bible has evidence of all of the miracles of God. We have faith that everything God has done in the Bible He can do now.
