D.E.I. Diversity, Equity, And Inclusion; Let’s Compare God’s Point Of View On This Topic, With A Human Point Of View.
Hello my most wonderful Worldwide Family. I love you all so very much. It is great to be talking with you tonight. I have been praying for you. It seems as if God has answered many people’s prayers in different nations. We thank You LORD.
Dear LORD God Almighty, Creator of heaven and earth, we praise You, we are so very grateful to You for Who You are and Whose we are. We worship You and honor You with our lives. Thank You for setting more hostages free in Israel. Please LORD free them all. Thank You for protecting Your land of Israel and Your people. We pray for the peace of Jerusalem, Israel and the entire Middle East region. Please protect all of the innocent people and children in all nations. Please call Your world unto You for salvation. Even terrorists LORD, then they would not be terrorists.
Thank You LORD for our new Leadership here in America. We pray for the President and Vice President and their families and every government official and their families. We pray for the now former President and Vice President and their families. Please protect them all and heal their fractured emotions and give them Your Peace that passes understanding.
Father, please cause all people groups to desire to be kinder and more respectful to one another as fellow human beings. Let us have an end to the malicious news stories on social media and different channels that have made fun of an aging President and slandered another President. LORD, please enable us to love in the manner which You tell us to love. The way Jesus loved us. Even to love our enemies and pray for those who persecute us and despitefully use us. Please set us free and heal us LORD. We thank You in advance. In Jesus’ Name, Amen.
There has been a lot of talk lately about D.E.I./ Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion which has been the ‘law of the land’ for many years, has actually caused division as well as millions or billions of dollars and is now being removed.
Let’s see what God thinks about D.E.I. by looking at His WORD in His Bible. DIVERSITY:
REVELATION 5:9 YOU (JESUS) ARE WORTHY TO TAKE THE SCROLL AND TO OPEN ITS SEALS; FOR YOU WERE SLAIN AND HAVE REDEEMED US TO GOD BY YOUR BLOOD. OUT OF EVERY TRIBE AND TONGUE AND PEOPLE AND NATION. God loves his diverse creation of HIs human children.
REVELATION 7:9 AFTER THESE THINGS, I LOOKED AND BEHOLD A GREAT MULTITUDE WHICH NO ONE COULD NUMBER, OF ALL NATIONS, TRIBES, PEOPLES AND TONGUES, STANDING BEFORE THE THRONE AND BEFORE THE LAMB, CLOTHED WITH WHITE ROBES, WITH PALM BRANCHES IN THEIR HANDS, AND CRYING OUT WITH A LOUD VOICE, SAYING, “SALVATION BELONGS TO OUR GOD WHO SITS ON THE THRONE AND TO THE LAMB.” (JESUS)
I think we can see that God loves diversity. God created diversity. He is the Creator of all human beings, and we were all created in His Image.
EQUITY: Equity means everyone should end up with the same results regardless of how they started out or how much effort they put into making their lives successful. Everyone needs to have the same amount of prosperity, or end results. This is actually socialism. I feel this leads to the victim mentality. And I will also be the first one to help anyone and everyone in need.
EQUALITY on the other hand means that everyone has the same starting point; and we do. We are all created in the Image of God, all given life, gifts, certain amounts of brilliance from God, and grace from God. We can succeed and overcome obstacles to our heart’s desire. I can speak from experience. With the Grace of God, I overcame many of life’s challenges and refused to have the victim mentality. Come on people, WE CAN DO THIS!!
INCLUSION: We are all included in God’s family. We were all created this way, we were born into the family of God as His children. We have to use our free will that God gave us, to remove ourselves from being included in God’s perfect will, love and family. Or we remain with God by repenting, turning from our sins, and accepting Jesus as our LORD and Savior and letting Him do his perfect will in us to change us from the inside out. Jesus loves us right now the way we are and He loves us too much to leave us in the muck and mire that we have gotten ourselves into. The choice is ours to make. The consequences are eternal. Heaven or hell.
GALATIONS 3:28 THERE IS NO NEITHER JEW NOR GREEK, THERE IS NEITHER SLAVE NOR FREE, THERE IS NEITHER MALE NOR FEMALE, FOR YOU ARE ALL ONE IN CHRIST JESUS.
GENESIS 1:26 THEN GOD SAID, “LET US MAKE MAN IN OUR IMAGE, ACCORDING TO OUR LIKENESS.” {Who is God referring to when He says, in ‘Our’? God the Father, God the Son, God the Holy Spirit.}
These are just a few examples from the Bible for the sake of time. Now let’s look at what we have been experiencing for the last 4 years from ‘mans’ definitions of D.E.I.
DIVERSITY: Examples- Current society has been saying we must give priority to those who are black, women, of the LGBTQ AI+ community, etc. in spite of whether or not they are qualified. Not only must we give them preference; we must embrace their lifestyle. The problem is this; as Christians we cannot embrace lifestyles that are contrary to God’s creation and His will. We simply can’t, it is sinful and we are held accountable by God. To be forced to do so does not allow us to be our own ‘part of diversity- the Christian part.’
EQUITY: Current society has been telling us that since some persons start at a disadvantage, we must ‘make up the difference’ by GIVING them what they need, handouts, because they are victims. I already mentioned that we are all created equal. If we do endure tragedies, trials, tribulations, we don’t let this define us. We can rise up in the strength and grace that Jesus Christ gives us when we ask and we can be VICTORIOUS IN JESUS. I have had to overcome many adversities and still do. I have only been able to do this because of what Jesus Christ has done for me. PRAISE GOD!
If we would all follow the example of our LORD Jesus, we can show true love, compassion and respect to others. We can give them a ‘hand up’, not a ‘hand out’. We can speak life into their situations, the Life of Christ.
INCLUSION: Again, current society has been speaking the rhetoric of inclusion while at the same time, including people whom they do not agree with is the farthest thing from their mind. Hypocrisy!
My battery is dying. I have to go. I love you. Jesus loves you.
Are These The Christians That You Hate? The Ones You Say Use Hate Speech?…… Jesus Tells Christians To Live Like This: MATTHEW 5:44 But I (Jesus) Say To You, Love Your Enemies, Bless Those Who Curse You, Do Good To Those Who Hate You, And Pray For Those Who Spitefully Use You And Persecute You, That You May Be Sons (And Daughters) Of Your Father (God) In Heaven.
Let’s Begin 2025 Knowing That God Your Heavenly Father Loves You So Much……. John 3:16 For God So Loved The World That He Gave His Only Begotten Son, Jesus Christ, That Whosoever Believes In Him Shall Not Perish, But Have Everlasting Life.
JOHN 3:17-21 FOR GOD DID NOT SEND HIS SON INTO THE WORLD TO CONDEMN THE WORLD, BUT THAT THE WORLD THROUGH HIM MIGHT BE SAVED. HE WHO BELIEVES IN HIM (JESUS CHRIST) IS NOT CONDEMNED; BUT HE WHO DOES NOT BELIEVE, IS CONDEMNED ALREADY BECAUSE HE HAS NOT BELIEVED IN THE NAME OF THE ONLY BEGOTTEN SON OF GOD. AND THIS IS THE CONDEMNATION, THAT THE LIGHT, (JESUS), HAS COME INTO THE WORLD AND MEN LOVED DARKNESS RATHER THAN LIGHT BECAUSE THEIR DEEDS WERE EVIL. FOR EVERYONE PRACTICING EVIL HATES THE LIGHT AND DOES NOT COME TO THE LIGHT, LEST HIS DEEDS SHOULD BE EXPOSED. BUT HE WHO DOES THE TRUTH COMES TO THE LIGHT, THAT HIS DEEDS MAY BE CLEARLY SEEN, THAT THEY HAVE BEEN DONE IN GOD.
HAPPY BLESSED NEW YEAR 2025!!
Hello my most wonderful World Wide Family. I love you all so very much. I have not had access to write to you for almost 2 months due to some type of blog site problem. I am not really sure what the problem was. When I first began writing to you, I believe in 2013; I mentioned that I am not a ‘computer person’ and was only able to create this blog site with a lot of prayer and the help and direction of the Holy Spirit leading me to educational guides. I have unfortunately not advanced much in computer knowledge in the last 12 yrs. It just took me 2 hours of back and forth communication with a Tech help staff to even be able to open this site again. It kept reading ‘critical error’. I hope it will work in the future. Please pray for me : )
I have missed you all. Here we are bringing in another year together. Wow! Time is sure flying by. The Bible says our lives are but a Vapor while we are here living on this earth.
JAMES 4:14 WHEREAS YOU DO NOT KNOW WHAT WILL HAPPEN TOMORROW. FOR WHAT IS YOUR LIFE? IT IS EVEN A VAPOR THAT APPEARS FOR A LITTLE TIME THEN VANISHES AWAY.
Dear LORD God Almighty, Creator of heaven and earth and everything and everyone in it, we love You. We praise and worship You and are grateful to You. Please LORD call all of Your people unto You for salvation. We give you our lives, our free will, our families, our possessions, our time, and our desires to do with as You please in this new year. We pray for peace and love and salvation in Your world LORD for all nations and people groups. In Jesus’ Name. We thank You. Amen.
The year 2024 surely gave us many unbelievable and some daunting circumstances. Some were very good, some were positive, some negative, some sad, and sadly some were heinous. We have a new start. The great thing about life with God is that we not only have a new start at the beginning of the new year; we can have a new start every morning. We can also have a new start every time we confess our sins and repent. This means turning around and turning away from our sins and turning to God. Of course this does not give us license to keep participating in the sin and then just casually say we repent.
LAMENTATIONS 2:22-23 THE STEADFAST LOVE OF THE LORD NEVER CEASES; HIS MERCIES NEVER COME TO AN END; THEY ARE NEW EVERY MORNING; GREAT IS YOUR FAITHFULNESS.
No, our forgiveness cost Jesus’ everything. It cost God everything when He sacrificed His Only Son Jesus for us, for you, for me. Jesus meets us where we are right now. He loves us right there. And…He loves us too much to leave us there wallowing in our sins. He calls us to Himself. He changes our lives and hearts from the inside out. He gives us His Desires in our hearts. The Holy Spirit leads us and guides us into all wisdom, into His WORD the Bible. This is an awesome way to live. This has been made possible because God gave His Only Begotten Son Jesus Christ to die a heinous death upon the Cross even though He was Perfect and had never sinned, so He could take away our sins. Then Jesus arose, and He sits in heaven at the Right Hand of God the Father ruling and reigning as King of the Universe. King of kings, LORD of lords, Magistrate of magistrates, the One and Only Great Potentate. Thank You LORD. I need Jesus so much and all that He has done. Don’t you?
2 CORINTHIANS 5:21 FOR GOD MADE HIM (JESUS) WHO KNEW NO SIN TO BE SIN FOR US, SO THAT WE MIGHT BECOME THE RIGHTEOUSNESS OF GOD IN HIM (CHRIST JESUS).
3 JOHN 1:2 BELOVED I PRAY THAT YOU MAY PROSPER IN ALL THINGS AND BE IN HEALTH, JUST AS YOUR SOUL PROSPERS.
Until we get to talk again, please know that I love you and I am praying for you and all of your generations. Most importantly, Jesus loves you. God bless you all. Happy Blessed New Year 2025!!
