Wig’s Word of God Today 9-21-2011
Until we all attain to the unity of faith and knowledge of the Son of God, to mature manhood, to the extent of the full stature of Christ. Ephesians 4:13
Go and learn the meaning of the words I desire mercy, not sacrifice. I did not come to call the righteous but sinners. Matthew 9:13
Ephesians 4:1-7, 11-13, Psalm 19 & Matthew 9:9-13
Paul is telling the Ephesians to work hard at being everything Christ instilled in our hearts and soul to become the mature Christian by examples of faith, charity and love. I believe one does not become knowledgeable in faith by natural occurrence but by the practice, prayer and proclamation of the Gospel in everything your life has to offer. You must seek knowledge in learning not just by your own study but also by the help of others who lift your learning of Christ’s Truth to another level. For me this person has been and always will be my beautiful wife Toni. She’s constantly seeking new ways to learn about our Christian faith in literature, Biblical audio and spiritual music. My one and only Soul-Mate in Christ Jesus. God’s gift to my devotion and communion with His Truth.
Jesus tells us today to learn what His Word means of desiring mercy not sacrifice in calling the sinners of the world to new life in His Truth. Obviously, Jesus was not excluding the righteous of the world but seeking a change of heart in the Pharisees who were questioning Him of His association with tax collectors and sinners. When we purposely seek out the lost of the world that need the Gospel of Christ the most, we seek to accomplish the Will of God by His instruction in Word and in Deed. His work has been given to all who accept His Father’s call to righteousness allowing everything you seek to mirror God’s love. Wherever you go, God has a plan for your life to share His Son’s Truth allowing the saving of souls to experience true forgiveness of sins. Amen.
So we ask in prayer: Dear God, we pray today for a Unity of Faith by our practice, prayer and proclamation. We pray to become mature in Your Word to share Your Son’s Redemption of sin. May our lives mirror the mercy of His love seeking the lost sinners of the world for Your Glory. We pray for my daughter Alexandra’s peace and healing. We pray my African missionary friend Paula’s safe return home yesterday. We pray this all in the Name of Christ Jesus. Amen.
God Bless His Truth for America,

Romans 8:28
“Spirit led God inspired Christ fed“
Calling Sinners to Rebirth- Matthew 9:9-13
Matthew was called
Sitting in shame
Taxing the rich
Stealing from the lame
Jesus said Follow Me
To share His Truth
Not living in sin
But guided by Proof
Reclining in His home
Matthew’s place of rest
The Pharisees called
Putting Him to the test
Why does your Teacher
Recline with scum
Tax collectors and sinners
Opinionated bums
He replied the healthy are well
Not needing as much
The Truth to prevail
Heal sickness by My touch
He directed them to find
The meaning of His Words
I desire mercy not sacrifice
Calling sinners to rebirth
