Seed for Dec 22

Eccl 12:13-14
13 Let us hear the conclusion of the whole matter: Fear God, and keep his commandments: for this is the whole duty of man.
14 For God shall bring every work into judgment, with every secret thing, whether it be good, or whether it be evil.
(KJV)

This verse was written by the wisest man that ever lived. Solomon set his mind to know wisdom and foolishness, and the above verse was the result. Before we become elevated in our own imaginations as to just how important our denomination is let’s reflect for a minute. For the first 2,000 years there were no churches, denominations, no 10 commandments, and yet God had a people. For the next 2,000 God established His Law among a very small and select race of people, and then came Calvary. 300 years later the new church was plunged into the dark ages for 1300 years, where the Light (eye sight) of God people was put out by the Roman Church and men were bound by traditions and went around in religious circles. In the 1600’s God began to bring man out of darkness, and that is where many of our modern denomination were born. So even the oldest modern denomination, and “methods” of salvation are less than 400 years old. In the scope of time 400 is just a tiny portion of the whole, and yet God has always had a people. How did people get saved before your denomination existed? By faith, the same way we hope to enter in. Next time we think foolishly, “unless you are a member of my denomination and do it our way” you cannot be saved, remember your denomination is a relative newcomer to the earth. And God has always had a people. For by grace are you saved thru faith. Be blessed.
