This is from a friend in Aust.
Sun Feb 7
I was reading some convention notes passed on by someone in Australia. Graham Snow was speaking about love. He spoke from Matt. 22 : (NKJV) 35 “Then one of them, a lawyer, asked Him a question, testing Him, and saying, 36 “Teacher, which is the great commandment in the law?”
37 Jesus said to him, “‘You shall love the LORD your God with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your mind.’ 38 This is the first and great commandment. 39 And the second is like it: You shall love your neighbor as yourself.’ 40 On these two commandments hang all the Law and the Prophets.”
Graham said that if everyone had this love and lived by these two commandments it would solve all of the world’s problems. He said there wouldn’t be any need for armies because there wouldn’t be any wars anymore. There wouldn’t be any hunger because everyone would share with their neighbors. There wouldn’t be any strife with neighbors or neighboring countries. All people of all nations would be as one in the love of God so there wouldn’t be discrimination or racism.
Governments wouldn’t need defense, so many lost resources would be spent on the welfare of the sick, the weaker ones, and the ones with ailments. There wouldn’t be any greed so the rich would share with the poor willingly.
So many of the biggest problems of the world would be gone. People would serve others willingly not out of a sense of duty or obligation or grudgingly, but out of pure love for them.
Graham said that the Ephesus church in Rev. 2 that left its first love, had lost the love of God. They were doing all of these great things, but not out of love, but of duty and pride.
It caused me to study 1 Corinthians 13 again. These verses stayed with me, (NKJV) 4 Love suffers long and is kind; love does not envy; love does not parade itself, is not puffed up; 5 does not behave rudely, does not seek its own, is not provoked, thinks no evil; 6 does not rejoice in iniquity, but rejoices in the truth; 7 bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things. 8 Love never fails.
A sobering thought came to me. If we are not living by these verses everyday, then we don’t have the love of God in us. We won’t be motivated to live our lives daily by that love. Like that Ephesus church in Rev. 2 we will be lost. I pray for more of God’s love in my heart.

◄ Luke 22:31
"Simon, Simon, Satan has asked to sift all of you as wheat.”
What to do about it?
Stop being sifted like you were all wheat.
Resist communism.

It wasn't boogymen who mounted a murderous attack on the seat of American democracy and tried to overthrow the constitutional process on Jan 6th. How would you have felt if it had been "Communists" who had attacked?

How would you have felt if it had been "Communists" who had attacked? ** The Democrats/Antifa Commy attacked, burned down businesses, destroyed govt buildings, homes for 6 months in Portland, Seattle, and many other cities in U.S. Trump wanted to send in national guards to STOP the riots but the Democrats governors, mayors wouldn't let him send in the troops. Trump supporters 1 day riot in D.C. capital, they want to impreach him after he had left office. What a joke! A bunch of hypocrites.

His divisive behavior and tacit support for white supremacist groups played a significant part in the BLM protests. Trump has almost destroyed your Republican Party and in its current state it lacks the ability to govern.

We condemn oursleves The HS never leaves you nor foresakes us Graham snow that name rings a bell Why then is it so difficult to show by some in the the fellowship on this forum?

Second I never saw in any news reports of socialist/communist/anarchist doing a murderous rampage across America for most of 2020. I also put a capital A in for America seeing as it seems you have little respect for your continent's name.
