Pastor John,
Good Morning! I just read your “Random Thought” for 2-26, “Cast Out With Love”. It tells how God cast out Adam from the garden of Eden to protect him from eating of the tree of life. God still loved Adam. It also tells about the shepherds of God’s flock on earth. God’s shepherds know how dangerous it is for disobedient believers to be allowed at fountain. It talked about the sinful man in Corinth. Paul told them to put him out of the Assembly. It was that man’s best chance to meet God in peace! It was also the group’s best chance, as a whole, to stay well.
God loves us!!! He will give us our best hope of eternal life! The words to Elijah’s song was at the end, “I Still Love You the Same”. I love God’s government!!! It is the best hope for us all. Let’s pray for those who are have had to leave!!! God still loves them the same, even if the best place for them now is away from the body!

Hi Sue.
Yes, the precious love of God for His people expresses itself in many ways. And if we humble ourselves to receive it, in whatever form it comes, we will be made the better for it.
