And we are back.
00:00:01.36\00:00:02.70
Shelley Quinn,
Pastor Kenny Shelton,
00:00:02.73\00:00:04.07
closing thoughts.
00:00:04.10\00:00:05.43
Closing thought for me would
be 1 Thessalonians 3:12-13.
00:00:05.47\00:00:07.87
And that is, love is
what is going to unite us.
00:00:07.90\00:00:11.67
And 1 Thessalonians, Paul
tells Thessalonians 3:12-13.
00:00:11.71\00:00:17.55
He says, "May the
Lord calls you to increase
00:00:17.58\00:00:20.52
and abound in love,
00:00:20.55\00:00:21.88
so that He may
perfect your heart,
00:00:21.92\00:00:24.25
establish your heart
perfect in holiness."
00:00:24.29\00:00:28.02
It is love that
separates us from sin.
00:00:28.06\00:00:30.86
And it's His love.
00:00:30.89\00:00:32.59
It's not a
natural, working up some
00:00:32.63\00:00:35.56
goofy little
affectionate kind of thing.
00:00:35.60\00:00:37.77
It is God pouring the essence
00:00:37.80\00:00:40.67
by the power of the Holy Spirit,
00:00:40.70\00:00:42.04
as the essence of His
character dwells in us.
00:00:42.07\00:00:44.87
Amen.
00:00:44.91\00:00:46.24
Then we are able to love--
00:00:46.27\00:00:48.24
Holiness simply means
to be separated from sins.
00:00:48.28\00:00:50.75
So, He establishes our
hearts, perfect in holiness
00:00:50.78\00:00:54.32
as we abound in
love to one another.
00:00:54.35\00:00:57.05
Amen. Pastor?
00:00:57.09\00:00:58.42
You know, I truly believe
that in God's last day church
00:00:58.45\00:01:00.89
there will be--
00:01:00.92\00:01:02.26
We talk about
unity in diversity.
00:01:02.29\00:01:04.23
Yes.
00:01:04.26\00:01:05.59
We have unity in
diversity, that means
00:01:05.63\00:01:07.06
it doesn't take away
from none of our personality.
00:01:07.10\00:01:09.96
You know, it's God and
Christ, two separate, you know.
00:01:10.00\00:01:12.30
But doesn't take
away one from the other.
00:01:12.33\00:01:13.90
So we may be, may be different
00:01:13.94\00:01:17.47
and some have different thoughts
00:01:17.51\00:01:18.84
and so on so forth.
00:01:18.87\00:01:20.21
But there will
be perfect harmony
00:01:20.24\00:01:21.84
as we let the
Holy Spirit come in.
00:01:21.88\00:01:23.95
And we're
receipted to that Spirit
00:01:23.98\00:01:25.51
that was sweat Spirit
that will change our heart,
00:01:25.55\00:01:27.18
change our mind,
00:01:27.22\00:01:28.55
strive for that unity
which Christ prayed for
00:01:28.58\00:01:31.22
because it's gonna be done
because Christ prayed for it.
00:01:31.25\00:01:34.32
Amen. Thank you. Yeah.
00:01:34.36\00:01:35.89
You know, back in the old days,
they'll have those pictures
00:01:35.92\00:01:38.23
of a boyfriend and
girlfriend drinking their malt
00:01:38.26\00:01:40.26
from the same glass,
two straws, you know.
00:01:40.30\00:01:42.63
You know, they were together.
00:01:42.66\00:01:44.23
They're drawing their
sassiness from the same source.
00:01:44.27\00:01:47.04
Whatever happened to us
that we pulled our straws
00:01:47.07\00:01:49.24
out of the glass, you know.
00:01:49.27\00:01:50.61
Yeah, that's good.
00:01:50.64\00:01:51.97
In John 15,
00:01:52.01\00:01:53.34
Christ talks about
the vine and the branches,
00:01:53.38\00:01:54.71
all drawing from the same Jesus.
00:01:54.74\00:01:56.24
And if we're all
drawing from the same source,
00:01:56.28\00:01:58.15
we ought to be
like the same source.
00:01:58.18\00:02:00.02
We ought to like each other
and we ought to be like Christ.
00:02:00.05\00:02:02.15
Well, our time again has
fast slipped into eternity.
00:02:02.18\00:02:04.69
Allow me in closing to
wish you both grace and peace
00:02:04.72\00:02:07.36
through our Lord and
Savior, Jesus Christ.
00:02:07.39\00:02:08.86
We'll see you again soon.
00:02:08.89\00:02:10.23
Bye-bye. And God bless.
00:02:10.26\00:02:11.79
