God bless!

         Do you ever wonder why certain people don’t like you? It's your faith! Many of us as Christians struggle because we find ourselves consistently being ousted by loved ones, friends, etc. At times I’m sure you get frustrated just like I do but when we do we have to go back to the foundation of our belief. The foundation tells us people won’t always like us, people won’t always agree with us and at times people will want to hurt us. Why? Your faith separates you from the common and makes you extraordinary. You are no longer who you were nor are you the same way you were. You have a swag to you that many desire but can’t attain until they include God into their life equation. I’ll put it to you like this: Would you feel bad about being rich because other people hated on what you have? Would you throw your money away to make them feel better about themselves? For that same reason we can’t throw our salvation away just to fit in! You are blessed! Blessings don’t come without peoples envy (sorry to break the bad news) but I’ll leave you with two words: “Who cares”! It’s time for us to stop lowering ourselves to other peoples level just to be accepted and to begin to recognize the greatness that is within us. If changing our faith was right wouldn’t Jesus have done it to get along with those that beat on Him or even His family for that matter? Your faith passes a sentence on others but not because you are doing something wrong but because their conscience is affected by you doing something right. It’s time to deal with the fact that you are blessed! Can you handle it?

Pastor Joell A. Perez

Hebrews 11:7 “By faith Noah, when warned about things not yet seen, in holy fear built an ark to save his family. By his faith he condemned the world and became heir of the righteousness that is in keeping with faith.”
