Hi Pastor John, <\/span>
\n
\n<\/span> I have been listening to the tracts that we have recorded for the Going To Jesus website.\u00a0 Listening to Vince’s recording of “Politics and Believers”<\/a><\/span> has the same ring to it as coming out of Christianity.\u00a0 The Israelites were no more entangled in the affairs of Egypt, or its government; no more task masters, no more labor of burdens for Pharaoh’s desires; no more citizens or even a country to belong to.\u00a0 They were God’s sole responsibility to lead then to Canaan’s land, govern them, feed them, and be their buckler and shield. But mainly He was a God of rest.\u00a0 The Government that Israel was governed with was easy and restful (as long as Israel obeyed God).<\/span>
\n
\n<\/span> For us, or anyone, to fully come out of Christianity is to put your whole trust in God to lead, clothe, govern you (with God’s man), and to have rest in your soul from the entanglements of earthly governments and their desires, and to worship the true God in spirit and truth, not looking back to your previous residence. God knew what was going to make the Israelites happy and free, and it is no different today.\u00a0 God knows what will make us happy and free, and give us rest.<\/span>
\n
\n<\/span> I feel so very thankful this morning.<\/span>
