Community And Commune…

It’s not an accident one of the most vile forms of government, the form of government that makes the state god and attempts to wipe out the Christian God, is called communism. This is not happenstance. Why wouldn’t the forces of evil, the people that are aligned with the devil, use a derivative of the word Community / Commune? Isn’t this the same thing that has happened with the rainbow? What appears to be a Message from God, the rainbow, has been altered – altered to mean something evil – and convince the world it’s the real thing? Communism and the false pride rainbow are both constructs from the same agents of the devil.

We are to commune with God, through Jesus Christ, with every breath, with every step. We, as people, are intended to be in community with one another. We are not intended to be on lockdown, separated from one another. We are most certainly are not suppose to be separated from our family under any circumstance. Look at the American society today it is a disaster because the family has been ripped apart for the past 50+ years. The longer this continues, the further from grace our society will fall.

“I just want it to be me and God where I’m living it out on my own. It’s truly just my personal relationship with God and I don’t won’t anybody else to be a part of it.

Our faith is personal, but, it’s also designed to be lived out in community. It may surprise you the term “personal savior” never shows up anywhere in scripture. But all throughout the Old Testament and New Testament, if you study the scriptures, the idea of community pops up over and over again.” Source – Pastor Chandler Vannoy

We are to live our lives in community. We are to function within our community and be involved at all levels.

The idea of confessing, repenting and making amends in secret seems to be presented in a slightly different manner in the Book of Hebrews. The author of Hebrews is uncertain and it is said that only God knows who authored this Book. The instruction, provided in scripture, is quiet clear.

Let us hold fast the confession of our hope without wavering, for He who promised is faithful; and let us consider how to stimulate one another to love and good deeds, not forsaking our own assembling together, as is the habit of some, but encouraging one another; and all the more as you see the day drawing near. ~ Hebrews 10:23-25 NASB95

We also find this same idea in the Book of Romans, written by Paul. The author of Hebrews seems to be echoing what Paul said in the Book of Romans. The person holding the pen is not as important as these are the Words of the Living God. We should breathe them in and make them part of who we are. We should allow the teachings to wash over us and guide our footsteps, our tongue and our heart. We should have desire to be with our brothers and sisters all the time. We should have desire to live in our Christ identity.

For just as we have many members in one body and all the members do not have the same function, so we, who are many, are one body in Christ, and individually members one of another. ~ Romans 12:4-5 NASB95

When we are living our life in Christ we hunger for companionship. When we are continually on the look out for one another there is no time, no space and far fewer cracks for the devil to make his way in. The chinks in the armor begin to disappear, Our Shield of Faith interlocks with other Shields and we are a mighty force for the Goodness of God.

Either the Gospel is the divine Word of God teaching us how to live and how to be a reflection of Him, or it’s nothing more than a historical account of events.
