A new commandment I give to you, that you love one another:
just as I have loved you, you also are to love one another.
By this all people will know that you are my disciples,
if you have love for one another.
–John 13:34-35
Pastor Dewey Note: It saddens me deeply to se all the fighting among Americans, from fighting on airplanes, in stores, on Facebook, YouTube, TikTok (I would close it down, it is a tool from Satan) fights in the streets, shootings, mass murder, fighting over COVID, so many scandal’s in America.. I have lost count. Church splits, fighting in the Church over politics, a government that is so divided it is failing to serve the people, and on and on America sinks. People talk about RACE RELATIONS, whites vs. Blacks, hate speech, killings… GOD KNOWS NO RACE! HE CREATED US ALL! STOP IT! Also how can we think we are so great of a nation when we kill God’s babies through abortion, how can we even feel good about ourselves? Americans killing Americas!!!!!There is no end to this until we become one in Jesus. Politics is destroying our Country. We are are own worst enemy. As I have said for years, Politics is the playground of Satan. Many Americans in the last 7 years have made politics and politicians GOD’S! They have put politics before God! Look at the results America!!!Where is the fruit? Will you join us in arising above this stink? Hurry up before it gets worse. All of our Children are at great risk, not much of a future here. There is no politician alive that can bring peace to America! Politicians divide America! We are dying in that division that has been created. We need a peacemaker, that is JESUS! For Sure! JESUS is the only answer! America needs a TRUE REVIVAL, not a high school pep rally! We are in the ICU and so many Americans do not know that, they are blinded by Satan. America may survive, but I hate to think what it will even look like in 6 months. TRUTH! We are praying for a peacemaker for JESUS in America, so our nation heal and many come to Jesus, before He returns. We are to be soul savers for our Lord. Warning Against Rejecting Wisdom
Sunday Reflection: No Divisions Among You

God has called His children to live as one big close family and to not be divided by differences.
|

| To get the most out of this devotion, set aside time to read the Scripture referenced throughout.
Tribalism, a sense of loyalty and belonging to a group, can be a healthy thing when it helps us understand where we fit and to how to function together. When taken to extremes, however, it leads to polarization and hostility. This is especially common when we meet someone who doesn’t look, think, or worship the way we do.
But Christ calls us to a better way. When someone told Jesus that His family was waiting outside, He replied, “Who is My mother, and who are My brothers? … Whoever does the will of My Father who is in heaven, he is My brother, and sister, and mother” (Matt. 12:48-50). There are no “in” or “out” groups with Jesus, no special circle or clique. In Him, we are one family, whole and inviolate, and petty differences shouldn’t separate us. (See 1 Cor. 1:10.)
Think about it
- Consider your church family. Does everyone look and think the way you do? How might you go about forming bonds with other believers who, though different in many ways, are your brothers and sisters in Christ?
