Think not that I am come to send peace on earth. I came not to send peace but a sword
for I am come to set up a man at variance against his father and
The daughter against her mother and the daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law and a man's foes shall be they of his own household
he that loveth father or mother more than me is not worthy of me and he that loveth son or daughter more than me is
Not worthy of me and he that taketh not his cross and followeth after me is not worthy of me
He that findeth his life shall lose it and he that loseth his life for my sake shall find it
So we see here that sometimes we have to sacrifice even the relationships that we have don't we?
You know because of our beliefs because of the direction we've chosen to take
Oh, you're going down in the wrong direction. Actually. It's the direction of the Bible
And if you call that the wrong direction, then you're going in the wrong direction
Okay, you know
But there's times we have these very close relationships whether it's with family or maybe it's with friends
We would consider to be family and they don't agree with us on our position on certain things
You know at the end of the day we need to make the trade-off to say hey, I'm gonna choose Jesus over my family
I'm gonna choose Jesus over my friends. I'm gonna choose Jesus over fame and fortune
Over the acclamates of whoever's in the world. I choose Jesus. I choose what Jesus says now the
But we would hope is that our family would just join us. Amen
But they would come to the knowledge of the truth of this word, you know people say oh you're in a cult
Well, look if I'm proving to you from the Bible what the Bible says and it it jives with the Bible
You could compare Scripture with Scripture and see that it's true. Then it's not cultish
Cultish is when you take one verse and build an entire doctrine that doesn't align with anything else in the Bible
You know, we have
Doctrines that we can clearly prove from the Bible comparing spiritual things with spiritual scripture with Scripture
And if you deny that you just deny in the Bible
But at that point, you know, he said I come to draw a line bring a sword not a piece
Okay, but a sword why because doctrine divides
People will say, you know, I can't be with you anymore. I can't talk to you anymore
You believe weird you you you believe that God hates people and this whole subject about the sodomites
You know at the end of the day if they reject what you're saying from his word
Guess what you need to side with Christ
You need to side with Jesus. You need to side with the Word of God, you know, and you say yeah
But this is they're all I have would you know what once you give that up God will give you so much the more
That is the trade-off that we need to make now
