“The truth is now you are a child of God, made in the image of a perfect King.”   When you choose to live God’s gospel of love unto righteousness, God is waiting for you. You are a child of God.  A child of God, sanctified in the womb, to serve the Lord.  

Jeremiah 1:4-5 – Then the word of the Lord came unto me, saying,  Before I formed thee in the belly I knew thee; and before thou camest forth out of the womb I sanctified thee, and I ordained thee a prophet unto the nations.

A child of God, chosen to be the light of the world, lost in the things of the Lord.

Matthew 5:3-10,12,14,16 – Blessed are the poor in spirit: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.  Blessed are they that mourn: for they shall be comforted. Blessed are the meek: for they shall inherit the earth.  Blessed are they which do hunger and thirst after righteousness: for they shall be filled.  Blessed are the merciful: for they shall obtain mercy.  Blessed are the pure in heart: for they shall see God.  Blessed are the peacemakers: for they shall be called the children of God.  Blessed are they which are persecuted for righteousness’ sake: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.  Rejoice, and be exceeding glad: for great is your reward in heaven: for so persecuted they the prophets which were before you.  Ye are the light of the world. A city that is set on an hill cannot be hid.  Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven.

Where do you start?  Start as a little child, turning from the sins of the past and turning to God.  Recognize God as the creator of the heaven and earth.  Start as a little child and seek the truth in his word out of the mouth of two or three witnesses.  Accept God’s direction in your life, being led by the spirit out of the bondage of corruption.  Only then will you be ready for the kingdom of God.

Mark 10:15 – Verily I say unto you, Whosoever shall not receive the kingdom of God as a little child, he shall not enter therein.

Romans 8:16,21 – The Spirit itself beareth witness with our spirit, that we are the children of God:  Because the creature itself also shall be delivered from the bondage of corruption into the glorious liberty of the children of God.

Do not be led by the vain words of deceit.  When you walk as children of God, you turn from the works of the devil.

Ephesians 5:1,3-4,6-8 – Be ye therefore followers of God, as dear children; But fornication, and all uncleanness, or covetousness, let it not be once named among you, as becometh saints; Neither filthiness, nor foolish talking, nor jesting, which are not convenient: but rather giving of thanks. Let no man deceive you with vain words: for because of these things cometh the wrath of God upon the children of disobedience. Be not ye therefore partakers with them. For ye were sometimes darkness, but now are ye light in the Lord: walk as children of light:

God’s gospel of love is about loving God and loving your neighbor.  The devil’s gospel is about loving yourself.  Drunkenness, hate, stealing, laziness and disobedience are all about self-love.  My forty years in addiction was all about self-love.  In the eyes of God, self-love means nothing.  In the eyes of God, righteousness and love of your brothers and sisters, is all that matters.

1 John 3:10-11 – In this the children of God are manifest, and the children of the devil: whosoever doeth not righteousness is not of God, neither he that loveth not his brother.  For this is the message that ye heard from the beginning, that we should love one another.

When you love one another, you are of God.  When you love not, you are not of God. 

1 John 4:4,7-8 – Ye are of God, little children, and have overcome them: because greater is he that is in you, than he that is in the world. Beloved, let us love one another: for love is of God; and every one that loveth is born of God, and knoweth God. He that loveth not knoweth not God; for God is love.

When you love God, then you JUDGE NO ONE.  God will reward those that live his Gospel.  God looks at your righteousness.  Not because you do as others do, but because you live your life for the glory of God. 

Psalm 18:24 – Therefore hath the Lord recompensed me according to my righteousness, according to the cleanness of my hands in his eyesight.

When you live your life unto the glory of God, means you broaden your understanding of God’s children.  Man’s religion judges those that come into the church building as being acceptable in the eyes of God.  In God’s eyes it is just the opposite.  God welcomes all his children into his kingdom.  Even those that don’t look like or act like you.  Do not be wise in your own conceit, but live peaceably among all men and women.

Romans 12:16,18-20 – Be of the same mind one toward another. Mind not high things, but condescend to men of low estate. Be not wise in your own conceits. If it be possible, as much as lieth in you, live peaceably with all men.  Dearly beloved, avenge not yourselves, but rather give place unto wrath: for it is written, Vengeance is mine; I will repay, saith the Lord. Therefore, if thine enemy hunger, feed him; if he thirst, give him drink: for in so doing thou shalt heap coals of fire on his head.

God will recompense those that love him and love their neighbor.  Your judgement will not be of God, but of the flesh. 

Romans 14:3-4,12-13 – Let not him that eateth despise him that eateth not; and let not him which eateth not judge him that eateth: for God hath received him.  Who art thou that judgest another man’s servant? to his own master he standeth or falleth. Yea, he shall be holden up: for God is able to make him stand.  So then every one of us shall give account of himself to God. Let us not therefore judge one another any more: but judge this rather, that no man put a stumblingblock or an occasion to fall in his brother’s way.

Hebrews 10:30 – For we know him that hath said, Vengeance belongeth unto me, I will recompense, saith the Lord. And again, The Lord shall judge his people.

Hebrews 12:23 – To the general assembly and church of the firstborn, which are written in heaven, and to God the Judge of all, and to the spirits of just men made perfect,

James 4:10-12 – Humble yourselves in the sight of the Lord, and he shall lift you up.  Speak not evil one of another, brethren. He that speaketh evil of his brother, and judgeth his brother, speaketh evil of the law, and judgeth the law: but if thou judge the law, thou art not a doer of the law, but a judge.  There is one lawgiver, who is able to save and to destroy: who art thou that judgest another?

God will know his own.  His own are not always perfect in your eyes.  To that young man in jail, that loved more than any other man, God’s spirit was in his heart.  He wanted to make sure the service had a positive experience, without video difficulties. Most judged that young man, negatively.  No man in the flesh, can judge the heart of a child of God.

In today’s chemical laced foods and drug society, the impact on the human body is not understood by man.  That impact is understood by God.  To that lady I met, her testimony is a severe reaction to food dyes.  Red dye number 40 would bring on seizures and lethargic aftermath.  Dyes in her son’s diet triggers ADHD behavior.  To my friend that cares for his daughter that has had several hundred seizures, brought on by foods and refined sugars.   You all know of the harmful effects of glyphosate (Roundup) on the human body with exposure leading to Non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma. 

The reaction to these chemicals on the living can be physical and physiological. 

Atrazine is a herbicide that is used to stop pre- and post-emergence broadleaf and grassy weeds in crops such as sorghum, maize, sugarcane, lupins, pine, and eucalypt plantations, and triazine-tolerant canola.

In the United States as of 2014, atrazine was the second-most widely used herbicide after glyphosate, with 76 million pounds (34 thousand metric tons) of it applied each year, nearly identical to its usage in 1974, of 76.8 million pounds. Atrazine continues to be one of the most widely used herbicides in Australian agriculture.  Its effect on corn yields has been estimated from 1% to 8%, with 3–4% being the conclusion of one economics review. In another study looking at combined data from 236 university corn field trials from 1986 to 2005, atrazine treatments showed an average increase of 5.7 US bushels per acre (0.50 m3/ha) (~400 kilograms per hectare (360 lb/acre)) than alternative herbicide treatments. Effects on sorghum yields have been estimated to be as high as 20%, owing in part to the absence of alternative weed control products that can be used on sorghum. 

The herbicide atrazine, one of the world’s most widely used pesticides, screws up the sex lives of adult male frogs, emasculating three-quarters of them and turning one in ten into females, according to a new study by UC Berkeley’s Tyrone Hayes.

You see the effects of atrazine on male frogs.  Turns one in ten into females.  The effects on humans is not documented.

But what about other drugs ending in -zine.  There is a class of medications that end in -zine is known as antipsychotics (also known as neuroleptics.  Antipsychotics are primarily used to treat various mental health conditions, such as schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, and severe depression.

Here are a few examples of antipsychotic medications that end in -zine:

1. Chlorpromazine:  This medication is one of the first-generation antipsychotics and is commonly used to treat psychotic disorders, including schizophrenia.

2. Promethazine: Although primarily used to relieve allergies and nausea, promethazine also has sedative and antipsychotic

3. Thioridazine: Another first-generation antipsychotic, thioridazine is used to manage symptoms of schizophrenia and other related conditions.

Medications ending in -zine are primarily phenothiazines, a class of antipsychotic drugs managing conditions like schizophrenia. They differ from benzodiazepines, which end in -lam or -pam and are used primarily for anxiety.  The medications that typically end in the suffix -zine are phenothiazines, a class of antipsychotic drugs. These medications are used to manage psychosis, including schizophrenia and bipolar disorder, and work by blocking dopamine receptors in the brain. Examples include chlorpromazine and thioridazine. However, there are also drugs in other classes with names that end in -zine, used for different purposes, such as promethazine, which is an antihistamine. It is important not to confuse these with benzodiazepines, another class of medications often used for anxiety, which have a suffix of -lam or -pam.

The effects of drugs ending in -zine, or benzodiazepines that end in -lam or -pam on a person with a psychotic condition or even promethazine for allergies on unborn fetus is unknown.   Atrazine can turn a male frog into a female.  Who is to say that these antipsychotic or allergy drugs couldn’t have an effect or change the DNA of a human to have characteristic of the opposite sex.  None of us have the ability to judge the physical or physiological details of a person as it relates loving God from the heart.  I know that young man in the jail, loved from the heart. 

In grade school I was often picked by the teacher to show new students around the school.  In the third grade, Paul was not like the others.  I showed him around the school, like any other new student.  Paul was a loner in school and very few people befriended Paul.   Years later, I visited my brother-in-law in the hospital and Paul shared a room with him.    Paul was in hospice and dying from a brain tumor.   At that time, I asked myself if Paul would have been treated differently if a third grader knew that Paul had a health of physiological issues?    This was my first-hand witness of man judging in the flesh.    As an adult, I still can’t see the physiological makeup of anyone I meet.   That is exactly why God said to judge no one!  All I can see is their love of self or love or hatred of fellow man.

God’s gospel is clear.   Turn from sin, love God and love your neighbor.  Judge no one.  Do this and you shall live.

Romans 14:13 – Let us not therefore judge one another anymore: but judge this rather, that no man put a stumbling block or an occasion to fall in his brother’s way.

Luke 10:27-28 – And he answering said, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy strength, and with all thy mind; and thy neighbour as thyself.  And he said unto him, Thou hast answered right: this do, and thou shalt live.

To God be the glory in all you do, Amen.
