GALATIANS 5:13-14

13 For, brethren, ye have been called unto liberty; only use not liberty for an occasion to the flesh, but by love serve one another. 14 For all the law is fulfilled in one word, even in this; Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself.

To begin with I want to talk about teach about and tell us about By Love Serve One Another. There was a secular song in the late 60’s or early 70’s call “To Serve with Love” And a lot of people have forgotten about to loving carefree times with the long hair and peace sign. A lot of people have forgotten the slogan make love not war. I grew up on that and let me say this this, The bible is right when it says by Love serve One Another.

13 My brothers and sisters, God called you to be free, but do not use your freedom as an excuse to do what pleases your sinful self. Serve each other with love

13 You, my brothers and sisters, were called to be free. But do not use your freedom to indulge the flesh; rather, serve one another humbly in love.

13 For you have been called to live in freedom, my brothers and sisters. But don’t use your freedom to satisfy your sinful nature. Instead, use your freedom to serve one another in love.

I listened to President Joseph Biden’s farewell address to the nation.and it was heart felt, motivating, inspiring, innovative,with constructive criticism; but it was also depressing. It was depressing because after all this time America still has too much hatred and not enough love one for another.
There are winter storms in the East and wild fires in the west. And Nobody wants to admit there is a problem with the way we live. We live like epicureans In biblical antiquity the epicurean idealism was that we eat drink and be merry for tomorrow we die. We die and that’s it. Like Rev Eric Marcelis says That’s it and that’s All. But brothers and sisters that’s not all.
There’s more!!! Yes There’s more. One day when we stand before the judgement and have to face our Maker,We won’t be able to say that it was the Epicureans that fooled me. We won’t be able to say that it was the socialist liberals that say everything goes and nothing is off limits.We won’t be able to say it was those racist conservative evangelicals that taught racial hate from bully pulpits in the name of Jesus Christ, We will have to stand before a righteous just fair impartial judge who rule and reign with justice and equity.
Listen brothers and sisters There ought to be a Spiritual code of ethics, Moral code of ethic, and a code of ethics that has veracity. Truth matters in this world. Fake news with disinformation and misinformation fueled by greed for power and profit causes people to forget to serve one another with love. Because the last time I check America is Capitalistic which means that everything based on competition. I’m trying my best to beat you and I ain’t trying to lose.It’s the land of opportunity. So ain’t no love in this game of life. in this rat race, that we;re calling the human race.
In Galatians 5:13 in c clause By Love serve one another is totally contrary to American Idealism. Our constitution doesn’t not say Love ye one another as Christ has also loved you. The closest we come to that is that all men are endowed by the creator with certain in alianble rights the Right to life liberty and the pursuit of happiness. That’s good but not great. God’s word is great. God’s word is the only thing that’s great Because God word compels humanity to care. No other book in this world demands that we love one another as Christ has also Loved us. And so we must ask the question why is that? John 3:16 For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son that whosoever believes in Him should have and everlasting life.
Have you noticed that at the end of the nightly national news they always try is give us a heart felt story that supposed to remind us to care about one another, to serve one another with love, to reach out beyond one’s own self and see the good be the good and experience the good.
And Jesus loved us so much That I’ll stand and tell the world that not demon from hell can make me change my mind about His Love For Me., Jesus loved us so much until not muslim, buddhist, hinduist, confusisis, hierchrihner,dialimma, etc etc etc what ever other religion, or no religion, can make me doubt Him because i know too much about Him.
Finding Jesus Christ is the best thing I’ve ever done. And by the way Jesus is His name and Christ is His title. He’s the Savior of the world
Let me teach you something the word of God teaches us about something that I learned in the seminary The Summon Bomnum The highest Good . One of the trademark summon bonums in The scripture is in Galatians 5: 14

14  [For all the law ] is fulfilled “ in one word”, even in this; (Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself).

In other words by love serve one another. I know I talk about the seminary but I learned in seminary that scripture back up scripture. And if you really want to know if you’re right about something or not refer to the scriptures, research through the scriptures, fact check through the scriptures.
And Paul gives us the alternative to not loving one another, to not serving one another with love. He says in verse
And so you think you can just treat me any old kind of way and nothing is going to be done about it. My God sits up high and looks down low and He sees everything. That’s why I don’t treat none of ya’ll no any kind of way.
I bet you none of y’all out there can say, Boy Rev. Allen is dirty you know what… And I have a real life reason why I don’t go out of my way to treat people dirty. Turn to Galatians 6:

7 Be not deceived; God is not mocked: for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap. 8 For he that soweth to his flesh shall of the flesh reap corruption; but he that soweth to the Spirit shall of the Spirit reap life everlasting.

It’s a real thing. Because ain’t nothing like the real thing. here’s the real deal.. The Church set the standards for holy living for moral ethic and spiritual living, not the world, not the courts, not law enforcement, not he prison system, not the classroom, not Think tanks and research laboratories, not the board meetings, not our social clubs and organizations, not our fraternities or sororities.
Man, be better try to get it right before it’s too late. I’ll tell you what happened in the past and that way you can figure the future.
1. Adam and Eve messed up in the garden of Eden paradise on Earth. Florida
2.Noah preached the same sermon for 120 years it’s going to rain, floods New Orleans
3 Sodom and Gomorrah was destroyed by fire. Los Angeles.
4. Samson laying his head in the wrong lap looking for love in all the wrong places and spaces.
5. David and Bathsheba with Love Lust and Lies.. Reality TV and Cheaters.
6. Solomon with 700 wives and 300 concubines giving us the lust of the flesh the lust of the ye and the pride of life.
7. Ahab and godless Jezebel turning the hearts of God people toward Baal worship and I’m afraid people worship idol gods more than ever before car clothes houses creature comforts that feed our flesh.
8. Jehoshaphat jumping in the coolide and don’t know what flavor it is, Talking about I’m going to help my cousin. If cuz ain’t right then Don’t go down the wrong road with him. Jehoshaphat like to los his life fooling around with kinfolk deals. I’ve learned that every tub sits on it’s won bottom.
9. Isaiah couldn’t see the Lord until uncle Uzziah died. And it’s sad that it takes tragedy to happen to us for us to focus and put our eyes on the Lord. Uzziah was a great king until he got full of that pride and wanted to do the preacher job. And God struck him down with leprosy and Uzziah died with it.
10. Haggai said you’ll love yourselves more than God. You’ll fixing up your houses and properties and leaving God’s house looking a mess. Then say what what what we did? You know your church. It ain’t no more Covid ain’t no more crisis except the ones you’re creating. The theme scripture says By Love Serve One Another.
Here some advice for free “Take care of God House and Good will take care of your House.” God will make your house and home. I have a home of love and peace and tranquility. I ain’t go allow not craziness to live here, with all kinds of people coming in here left and right.
That would drive me bananas. The late great Rev Job Stephens taught me a long time ago. Lil Allen don’t have all kind of people coming in and out of your home. You’re a preacher and that will delified your sacred anointed dwelling place. Some of ya’ll got hell because you’ve got hell living with you.
The point is By Love serve One Another.
Where? everywhere. Serve in love in your own home first. because Charity begins at home.
2. Serve in love at the church, because we serve God by serving our fellowman. And How can you say that you love God whom you’ve never seen and hate your brothers and your sisters that you see everyday.
3. Serve in love in your community. There is a service that you can provide right where you are. volunteer your time talents and treasures and you’ll feel good to be able to help somebody along the way. The song writer said if I can help somebody then my living shall not be in vain.
I’ve got to remind us that we are Christians. And it’s a new year… And we can adopt new biblical policies like this one today that says “by love serve one another”.
People just need to be reminded that in the core of them they are genuinely good and decent Christian hearted folk.
Just remember this evil communication corrupts good manners. Quit hanging around folk that make hateful rhetoric come out in you.
