Doctrine (IITimothy 4:3)

My command is this: Love each other as I have loved you. Greater love has no one than this, that he lay own his life for his friends. You are my friends if you do what I command. I no longer call you servants, because a servant does not know his master’s business. Instead I have called you friends, for everything that I learned from my Father I have made known to you. You did not choose me, but I chose you and appointed you to go and bear fruit – fruit that will last. Then the Father will give you whatever you ask in my name. This is my command: Love each other. John 15: 12-17

Entire sanctification or not,
tongues or not,
special discernment,
gifts of the spirit,
self-declared knowledge,
man-made wisdom and
vanities of the heart,
mysterious new doctrines,
emotional roller coaster rides,
puffed up words
that fade with the dust;
one truth,
one Lord,
one kingdom;

in the end
all that will be left
is love.

For now we see
with imperfection,
peering through
a fog shrouded mist,
unable to find complete
clarity or understanding,
one day the fog will roll away,
the doubt will be removed,
we shall see
through eyes of perfection;
we shall know perfect truth;

we shall experience perfect love.

Lord I am so unworthy,
I am so inadequate;

go away from me
for I am a sinful man;

tear out my sin-filled eyes,
burn my lips and tongue
with hot burning coals;
let the whole world be silent
before Your magnificent
and holy presence;
let every knee bow,
let every heart confess,
that You and You alone
are Lord and King;
that to You
and You alone
does all glory belong.

Lord let me escape false teachers
who no longer follow sound doctrine,
rabid dogs who know not truth
nor allow others to follow its path,
fading mists speaking vain words
for itching ears to hear,
let me walk in Your light,
let me live in Your love,
let Your will be done
forever.
