I’m sending this with brotherly love
When I talk to you about where you’ll spend eternity, you can either respond with acceptance or rejection. There’s no middle ground. If you accept that I’m talking to you with brotherly love (the way God told me to), you’ll understand that I sincerely care about where you’ll be for eternity. If you want nothing to do with God, your response might be some form of anger or indignation. But you’re wrestling with the conviction in your heart…not me.
As a Christian, I’m supposed to reach out to my fellow man and show you how “God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son” in order for each of us to be able to live with Him forever in Heaven.
At times, that task hits much closer to home than I’d prefer. Close personal friends, business acquaintances, and even my earthly brothers have all responded with anger and rejection. They didn’t understand that I was sharing vital…in fact, the most vital…information with them they could ever hope to hear. When I tell you that the love of God is good for you…body, soul, and spirit…I mean down-to-the-marrow-of-your-bones good.
In these perilous times, where death and destruction are at the doorstep of every nation on earth, you need more than a “mother earth” or a “president” or even a “god force within you”. You need the living, loving Source of Life. You need Jesus. And I’m sharing this with you…
With Brotherly Love
What would be so wrong
If I didn’t sing my song…with brotherly love?
Would it be unfair
If I didn’t even care…with brotherly love?
No one does these days,
Everyone just stays
In their old, familiar ways.
That’s how it should be.
If we all agree,
It all can be so easy.
What would be so bad
In not sharing what I had…with brotherly love?
Would I be a thug
If I didn’t want to hug…with brotherly love?
Just some silly rules
Taught in Christian schools
By a bunch of simple fools.
That stuff’s not for me.
Can’t you let me be?
Go shake another fruit tree.
Hey there, do you know?
Where did all those people go…with brotherly love?
I can’t find them here.
Did they all just disappear…with brotherly love?
Things don’t seem quite right…
Especially at night
And no one has a bright light.
Hopeless life lines drawn…
Hard to carry on…
Because all the love is gone.
