Hello Saints! What a glorious time we had in the Lord at the Temple today. The praise team led us in praise with their beautiful rendition of Peace Be Still, I Need Thee, All I Need Is You and a medley of other soul stirring praise songs. The choir continued the worshipping spirit singing Tell It written by the

Temple’s own Leon Johnson after which the Solomon Temple Praise Dancers blessed us with a spirited praise dance to Turn Up, Can’t Help Myself.

The Lord spoke to us through Pastor Victor S. Brice, when he reminded us of the “The Line” and cautious us: Don’t cross the line. What line, you may ask. Where is it? It’s in His Word – The good old “B I B L E.” That’s right saints — The Word of God draws the line. It tells us how to live right, how to be right, how to stay right, and how to get right when we fall. God has drawn a line for every aspect of our lives. There is a line for everything. We must be diligent; stay focused on His Word and learn it so that we will recognize the line when we come upon it. Pastor reminds us that some of the adversities in our lives and some of the circumstances we find ourselves in is because we have “crossed the line” and are being disciplined. We chastise our children here on earth because we love them. Do you not think our Heavenly Father will chastise us when we are disobedient? God the Father loves us just as much we love our own biological children. We say we love the Lord right? Then, the Love of God should be our motivation to act right — to not disappoint Him. Pastor uses the story of Moses to illustrate that there are consequences to disobedience. Moses was a holy man. One of God’s chosen. Instead of doing what God told him to do, Moses got out of character, acted in anger and “did his own thing.” He led the people out of Egypt and yet, he did not enter the Promised Land because he disobeyed God. Let us remember the Moses story when feel like doing our own thing instead of what God has instructed us to do. There will be consequences if we “act out.”

Dear hearts, let us remember that although God is a generous, loving, forgiving and merciful God, even He has his limits – just as our parents – and we as parents — have a line that we set for our children. God the Father — because He loves us, sets rules and guidelines for us to live by. We are to be obedient to His Word. Don’t be Johnny Cash – Don’t Walk the Line. Don’t Cross the line.

The Holy Spirit added another soul to partner with Solomon Temple today. The Lord is good. If you are in the Pittsburg, CA area, I encourage you to join us on Sunday mornings. If you are not from the area, I invite you to join us on our live stream. May God continue to bless you. Peace.
