A stumbling block but a Chief cornerstone!!!
A stumbling block but a Chief cornerstone
1Peter 2:7-10 KJV
7 Unto you therefore which believe he is precious: but unto them which be disobedient, the stone which the builders disallowed, the same is made the head of the corner,
8 And a stone of stumbling, and a rock of offence, even to them which stumble at the word, being disobedient: whereunto also they were appointed.
9 But ye are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, an holy nation, a peculiar people; that ye should shew forth the praises of him who hath called you out of darkness into his marvellous light:
10 Which in time past were not a people, but are now the people of God: which had not obtained mercy, but now have obtained mercy.
I'm here to say I'm not a fan with injustices of God's people. Especially black people because I'm black but the situations of this current world is yet at a state of emergency across the board. How can we truly be mad at another race of people when we cause confusion in our own house, in our own back yards, in our own camps, neighbors, in our cities, in our own states, in our own country!!! Not just the world alone but the very body of Christ has seen so much confusion and division. It ought not to be so, as believers, kingdom citizens, children of the Most High God we are supposed to be the light of the world not living in the dark with the world. Yet we stop to fix our lips to ask God why bad things happen. We can't forget that Jesus said they hated him and would hate us too. No matter black, white, right, wrong or indifferent we ALL are God's children and we should learn to leave in love and harmony. Instead from what I've seen Christianity is one of the most construed, and criticized belief systems because the bottom line is to cause division and cause folks to deny what Jesus has done for us. It makes me lean in even more to God because he already foretold us what would come and now that we see things unfold before our eyes we all act surprised. He actually told us...
Matthew 24 KJV
Destruction of the Temple
1. And Jesus went out, and departed from the temple: and his disciples came to him for to shew him the buildings of the temple.
2. And Jesus said unto them, See ye not all these things? verily I say unto you, There shall not be left here one stone upon another, that shall not be thrown down.
3.And as he sat upon the mount of Olives, the disciples came unto him privately, saying, Tell us, when shall these things be? and what shall be the sign of thy coming, and of the end of the world?
4. And Jesus answered and said unto them, Take heed that no man deceive you.
5. For many shall come in my name, saying, I am Christ; and shall deceive many.
6. And ye shall hear of wars and rumours of wars: see that ye be not troubled: for all these things must come to pass, but the end is not yet.
7. For nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom: and there shall be famines, and pestilences, and earthquakes, in divers places.
8. All these are the beginning of sorrows.
9. Then shall they deliver you up to be afflicted, and shall kill you: and ye shall be hated of all nations for my name's sake.
10.And then shall many be offended, and shall betray one another, and shall hate one another.
11. And many false prophets shall rise, and shall deceive many.
12 And because iniquity shall abound, the love of many shall wax cold.
13. But he that shall endure unto the end, the same shall be saved.
14. And this gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in all the world for a witness unto all nations; and then shall the end come.
I think sometimes people only think what the Bible says literally only applies to the folks of that time. Well im here to tell you that the Word of God is timeless, alive and will live on forever. We have to keep in mind in this life God never promised us that we wouldn't face hard times. Even with us being his children he covers us through the hard times not necessarily eliminate them. Our c
