"GOD IS LOVE..."
"Lead me Lord. Lead me in thy righteousness.
Make thy way plain before my face.
For it is Thou Lord, Thou Lord, only that makest
me dwell in safety." (Samuel S. Wesley)
"For as many as are led by the Spirit of God,
these are the sons of God." Romans 8:14

me dwell in safety." (Samuel S. Wesley)

"Beloved, let us love one another, for love is of God, and every- one that loveth is born of God and knoweth God. He who does not love does not know God, for God is love. In this the love of God was manifested toward us, that God has sent his only begotten Son into the world, that we might live through him." I John 4: 7 - 9
"This then is the message which we have heard of him, and
declare unto you, that God is light and in him is no darkness
at all." I John 1: 5
"Jesus saith unto him: I am the way, the truth and the life.
no man cometh to the Father, but by me." John 14: 6
"And the house that I build is great: for great is our God
above all Gods." I Chronicles 2: 5
"Shall you reign because you enclose yourself in cedar?
Did not your father eat and drink, and do justice and righteous-
ness? Then it was well with him. He judged the cause of the
poor and needy: Then it was well. Was not this knowing me?
says the Lord. Yet your eyes and your heart are for nothing but
your coveteousness." (Jeremiah 22: 15-17) It is surprizing to
me to realize in my seventy-nine years I do not recall this prin-
ciple read in the assembly, nor has my reading of it produced
understanding. If my reasoning is correct, then one knows the
Lord God as he considers the cause or condition of the poor.
This new understanding should bring me to be more careful to
help others, and consider the "poor and needy," before myself.
"Pure and undefiled religion before God and the Father is
this, to visit orphans and widows in their trouble, and to keep
oneself unspotted from the world." (James 1: 27)
Our motivation is: "...The Love of Christ contraineth us..."
(2 Corinthians 2: 14) Read the whole of Chapter 5.)
There is also this, in the book of Proberbs 9 we find much
to do with wisdom and it's attainment. In verses 10 thru 11,
"The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom, and the
knowledge of the Holy One is understanding. For by me
your days will be multiplied."

(Read Matthew 12: 22-32)
In the passage above we find our Lord restoring
sight and speech to a blind man who was mute.
Our Lord Jesus Christ was then accused of casting
out "demons" by the power of Satan. (If a kingdom
is divided against itself, it cannot stand) vs. 26
The view taken by the Pharisees (enemies of Christ)
was refuted by our Lord when he said, "And if I
by Beelzebub cast out devils, by whom do your
children cast them out? But if I cast out devils by
the Spirit of God, then the kingdom of God
the Spirit of God, then the kingdom of God
is come unto you."
