Brothers In Christ Weekly Devotional
by Don Francisco
The Bible calls us to love each other. It says so in a clear, undeniable, inarguable manner. There are many doctrinal issues you can debate... you can study the original languages and find shades of meaning on this topic and that topic. But you will still find that love is the highest priority, the clearest command.
Love takes precedence over every doctrine and love is itself the greatest doctrine.
The number one quality of a true Christian, according to the Bible, is an overflowing, inexhaustible, energetic, enthusiastic love for
When someone sees the best in you, it frees you to become your best. When someone judges and condemns you, you feel locked into your sin and you have anger added to it. When Christians love, they reflect God's heart and they draw people to Him. When they judge, they push people away from God.
The character of God is that His love covers a multitude of sin. He does not do so lightly. It cost the life of His Son, but the price has been paid. He overlooks the sin of this world and sees what is best in each of us. He is the lifter of our heads.
If Christians could love each other, the world would see God in us. We have allowed lesser doctrines to divide us. Instead, we have churches here and there where the people are united in doctrine and scared of other churches, and of the outside world.
There are awesome people in the world many of whom actually do a better job of loving than many of us do. When you spend your life visiting churches of many different denominations, you see clearly that it isn't what name the church has... it's whether or not the people inside the church are prideful or loving. Loving churches are alive and bearing fruit for His kingdom.
Ask God to increase the love in your heart. Ask Him to let you see people the way HE sees them. Set aside the religious blinders and get back to what it's all about... LOVE. It's the greatest.

What Will We do About the Words & Verses Deleted?
Our illiterate, lazy culture has spilled over to many professing Christians who have embraced the ways of the sluggard, which is an idle slothful or lazy person. They are willing to read a Satanic "Bible" version missing what God says so they can be lazy & not do their due diligence. Your modern Bible perversion was written by men using dynamic equivalence. In other words, they are telling you their interpretation & their doctrine, NOT what the manuscripts really say. Don't believe me? Look at the article on the NIV using gender inclusive language. Gender inclusivity wasn't in the "originals." It is a modern, feminist concept born of REBELLION.
A number of brothers & sisters, after examining the facts, have said, "I'm getting a King James!" Many have shared what a blessing the King James Bible has been to them & their spiritual life. The King James isn't hard. I've seen very young children quoting it & I am not exaggerating. It has been taught to people who cannot read & to children whose second language is English. I actually find the modern Bibles more difficult to read than the King James.
If you read a modern Bible, don't let your pride get in the way of really looking at this information I am offering here. Some people get hostile because I'm sharing these facts. Look up the verses & see that what you call the Bible is not the Bible. Get a real Bible, the King James 1611 edition.
My dear Brothers this is the answer to the question:
