Hello! Again! New Verse!

Alright! I'm back! I'll tell you about my trip later if I remember to. I thought about how busy I usually am and sorry but I'm doing a different posting schedule. I'm going to alternate between verse and hymn so I have more time for my personal Bible study and homework. I'm sorry if I sound kind of selfish, but I didn't get to do any Bible study at the beach and I'm feeling deprived of God's word.
Anyway, today's verse is I John 4:8. "He that loveth not knoweth not God; for God is love." The verse is saying that we have to love God and others in order to really know God. I have an uncle who isn't saved. Don't be surprised. There are Christian families that are split apart because of the different beliefs. Well, my uncle says that he's seen some "Christians" say one thing nad do another. They tell others to love each other but then go and bully someone. I told him that the person isn't a Christian. He doesn't truly know God, He's a hypocrite. I know that may seem a bit harsh to some, but it's the dead truth. Those people who make others follow God but don't themselves are no better than the Pharasees from the Bible. Jesus disapproved of them, and He would disapprove of you. You're just the modern version of the old sinners. Some would say, "Well, I'm new at this. I can't be perfect." You're right. You can't be perfect. You really can't. The flaw in your statement is that you're using you newness to the faith as an excuse. No matter how new you are, you should have that love for the gospel. I think that the newer Christians have a better understanding of the desire to be used by God. The longer you're a Christian, the more vulnerable to laziness you become. You slack in your Bible studies. You begin not to care as much. That's dangerous. Satan could strike, and you could end up in a pit of sin before you realize it. God's word is your armor. You should put it on DAILY. Not weekly. Not only at church. DAILY. Ask God for a yearning for His word and He'll give it to you. You can't make excuses so you don't have to love that annoying little brother, snobby little sister, or just plain gross cousin. You have no excuse if you're a child of God. You are to love your nieghbors, which is everybody, like how you would want to be loved. Trust me. God will greatly rewad you if you do this. If you persevere, there will be crowns of gold and silver waiting for you in heaven. Your Savior will great you. You will have a home made just for you by the Creator of the world. Don't think of the difficulty of the journey. Think of the happy, perfect, wonderful end of the race that we are running. The love of hte Father should shine through you. Don't ever keep your love from someone. Especially and lost soul.
