"A PLEA, FOR ME!"



The Pharisees and the UNFAIR we see...and "A PLEA, FOR ME!"
Romans 9:35-41 describes blindness and sight. There's alot to unpack in these scriptures. Jesus explains vision, spiritual vision, which goes past our eyes. The key that jumped out to me came from Pastor Chuck's footnote for verses 40-41. He said, "These three things that blind people to the truth; prejudice, preconceived ideas and traditions." Simple. Don't listen to CNN, MSNBC, or late night comedians' prejudices, served with hatred. Refuse deceptive efforts, aimed to mold, your views! Free yourself from the traditions of man, and walk daily in the word, fully forgiven, INFORMED, and free in Christ Jesus. Scripture basically describes Pharisees as BLIND GUIDES, not to be followed!
I wrote this "A PLEA, FOR ME!", over 20 years ago because I don't want to become a modern day, Pharisee. These thoughts came to me when on a walk around South Lake, in Woodbridge. Often media people judge situations with only partial vision, limited facts and no real knowledge of the truth. Then they report what they feel, they saw. I must refuse, most all of it and look to the WORD. I listen for His news! His terms cover yesterday, today and tomorrow. That's SUPERIOR KNOWLEDGE if you ask me!
"A PLEA, FOR ME!"
"Much of what I am I see, yet still, I cannot conquer, me!
Pharisee, oh Pharisee! Jesus, please don't let that Pharisee, be me!"
Scripture basically describes Pharisees as BLIND GUIDES, and are not to be followed. They don't know where they are going!
