Where Is the Trust? (Church, Apr 15)

VIDEO: https://youtu.be/lPnIOBWg7tg We dealt with a suicidal young man, fear of God, reaction to President Trump's bombing of Syria, the concepts of trust and freedom lacking today. Read below or here: http://rebuildingtheman.com/church-jesse-lee-peterson-apr-15/

A man watching online gave us a Super Chat donation on YouTube, and asked whether we should fear God. So Jesse asked people what they thought. We dealt with this in a prior service, but fearing God simply means reflecting on what God brought you through in life, and appreciating Him for it. Some say they fear God, but it\u2019s an emotional feeling \u2014 not what Jesse means, and not a real godly fear.

Then Jesse brought up one thing prominent in the news: President Trump bombed Syria after a reported chemical attack there. Many who usually support the president do not support this action by the U.S. \u2014 some feel betrayed, including good friends of Jesse\u2019s. Some participated in anti-war rallies. But the people elected him because they trust him. Jesse\u2019s point in bringing this up: People abandon trust of another person just because that person does one thing they oppose. Jesse was neither for nor against this action, but he trusts this president.

Similarly, there are instances in your life in which you do not agree with another person\u2019s actions. Yet you should still trust and work with them, and give them the freedom to do what they will. In churches, men grow divided due to an offense, and don\u2019t wish to work it out! This is wrong \u2014 that\u2019s not love!

Another example \u2014 the Civil Rights Movement: We should not allow the idea and accusation of \u201cracism\u201d to take hold. If you are a black person of love, why would you impose on a white private business owner who does not wish to serve you? In the Jim Crow days, Jesse never felt angry about being separated from whites or disallowed from certain stores. He and his friends went to black businesses where they were allowed and still had fun.

Today, homosexual couples impose on Christian businesses, forcing Christians to service them for so-called same-sex marriages. Jesse urged Christians to take the sinners\u2019 money and donate it to organizations fighting against the radical homosexual cause.

Getting back to the young man who attempted suicide a number of times, Jesse urged him to get to know himself, and get over anger. Stop listening to the voice of your father the devil \u2014 do not believe the thoughts of worthlessness. Practice the Silent Prayer findable on the BOND Church page. When anger leaves, your mind renews itself, and you see things clearly, as they are. http://rebuildingtheman.com/church
