AGREEING WITH GOD IN OUR THOUGHTS AND ACTIONS

AGREEING WITH GOD IN OUR THOUGHTS AND ACTIONS

Regardless of our political affiliations, nationalities, race, creed or color, one thing identifies us as humans beyond everything else. Regardless of public opinion or the results of recent elections, make certain that when your vote is counted, that you have voted on God’s side. If you aren’t sure how God would vote, then you need to familiarize yourself with the Bible as much as possible. Then ask yourself how God would feel about the issues and candidates being considered. Humanism can have a positive or negative connotation, depending on the circumstances involved. Choosing God’s way is always best for us, even when we cannot see the benefits. As the Divine Humanist, God created us in His Image, sustains us and will provide for our future joys more than any human method ever devised. Mankind’s best humanistic efforts always fall short of the Divine standard. Does this mean that we should abandon our efforts? Rather, we should adopt God’s standards of excellence, which alone will bring us into fellowship with Him. How is this possible? God’s Holy Spirit is given to us to bring about this transformation. Tell God today that you want to conform yourself to the image of His Son and ask Him to grant you fellowship into His kingdom. He will enable you to agree with Him in your thoughts and actions, and will one day usher you into His presence for evermore.
