Mark 9:39-40
“There is no one who performs a mighty deed in my name who can at the same time speak ill of me. For whoever is not against us is for us.”

The condominium community where we live in is composed of very diverse people. Some maybe there to live in peace, or some may have some other things in mind. But if some of them do live in one of those units, then it is a fact of life.
In this world, good and bad people live in “perfect harmony” – people who are for and against the truth that Jesus espouses.
And we are all given the choice – do want to be for Him or against Him? But He is also very clear when He says that those who believe in Him shall not perish but would have eternal life.
What the Lord was saying was that there aren’t going to be any more special mountains you need to go to. There are no special anointed places you need to seek out.
No special religions that can take to themselves as being the true religion. There are no great religious figures you need to bless you. True worship will be of the heart – accepting Jesus as our Lord.
Jesus is present with every one of His people. He is in their hearts. He is in their mouths. He is in their lives. Christ Himself builds His Church, and He flocks His people as He wills.
He calls us one, by one, by one. And as for our flock of gathering, we just need to find out where the Lord would have us to be. And together, we should work hand in hand for Him, our Lord forever and ever.
Let us pray +
Almighty Father, I have gone my own way and not put you at the center of my life. I am very sorry and ask that you please forgive me. Please help me to follow you more closely every day and live a life which gives glory back to you. I pray this in Jesus' name. Amen +
O Lord, great peace have they who love your law.
