Pastor's Pen

Beloved, who are we to show partiality? Unfortunately, our society is all about making distinctions. For example: Black vs. White; Men vs. Women; Skilled vs. Unskilled; Rich vs. Poor; Young vs. Old; Professional vs. Blue Collar; Healthy vs. Handicapped; Educated vs. Uneducated.

Beloved, we are not to try to anticipate who is a good prospect for receiving the gospel and who is not – don’t fall into the trap of spiritual profiling. We need to understand that with God there is no partiality, there is no favoritism in salvation. We need to proclaim the
message of saving grace to everyone! 

2 Peter 3:9 says, “The Lord is not slow in keeping his promise, as some understand slowness. He is patient with you, not wanting anyone to perish, but everyone to come to repentance.” Also Acts 10:34- 35, “So Peter opened his mouth and said: “Truly I understand that God shows no
partiality,  35 but in every nation anyone who fears him and does what is right is acceptable to him.”

Blessings,
Pastor Joe
