Christian Friends

By Victoria Gordon

As I continue to hear people, in general, saying what is wrong with church folks, some Christians, and non-Christians, I know Christians are Christlike. The questions bother me. I said, "Lord, what can I do or say?" These people are concerned about all the things that are happening. The behavior of certain people with excessive pride and a proud heart is an abomination to God. What comes out of a man will defile him. We, as Christians, are not looking through the spiritual eyes. Rather, we are looking through the natural. Sometimes when looking out our natural eyes, our vision can become blurry. Then God shows me a vision, and the book becomes a reality, and the title of the book was born. It is not my intention to hurt anyone because I love you too much. I just want to encourage you.

Dear Christian friends, God's love toward you is unconditional. As you read, I hope and pray something will touch your heart.

My brothers and sisters, I greet you all in the name of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.

I am an immigrant who came to live in America in the seventies. When I became a citizen, my husband said to me, Vote for Democrats. Don't vote Republicans.

On my way to register, I heard a voice inside of me speak and said, Nonaffiliation. To tell you the truth, I didn't remember if I ever heard the word before. It was just a word I have never thought of since it was not significant to me.

Then I wondered, What does that word have to do with a voting register paper?

When I reached the place, the same word spoke to me again. I got the voting register paper. I didn't read it at first; I just started filling it out. As I went down, I didn't remember which was first, second, or third, but I saw the word that was spoken to me—nonaffiliation—so I selected it.

I voted for independent candidates, and I voted for Democrat candidates. I even had a Republican candidate whom I would vote for every time. I would have sent that Republican candidate to the White House because that Republican candidate conducted himself with integrity.

In the country where I was born, when I was young, politics was good. As I started to grow older, different politicians took over, and it then became terrifying.

When I came to America and saw how the election was conducted, I was overjoyed. I have been living in America for over forty years. The 2016 to 2020 election was the worst I had ever seen; it was like I was living in another world. I grew to love and was willing to fight and die for America. I wanted to join the army working in the medical field, but my husband disagreed. But I spent my time praying for soldiers, police, and people in authority.

I just cannot see how one that's born and bred in America treats it so commonly.

My dear friend, I am an ambassador for the Lord Jesus Christ, not for men. Who are you representing?

The Jews sent priests and Levites to ask John the Baptist who he was. John said, I am not the Christ. They asked then, Who are you? John said, I am the one crying in the wilderness, ‘make way for the one is coming.' I am not worthy to untie his shoes, then John saw Jesus walking toward him, and he said, "Look, the Lamb of God who takes the sins of the world." John was sent as a messenger to tell the world about a coming saver. When John saw Jesus coming, John knew his work was finished; it was time for him to move on (John 1:19–29 KJV).

Herodias is Herod's brother's wife who instructed her daughter to ask for John the Baptist's head, so he was beheaded in prison (Matt. 14:13–11).

God sent his Son in flesh to live among mankind. At twelve, Jesus started his ministry. It was a custom—Jesus's parents went to Jerusalem every year for the feast of the Passover. When the day was over, they started returning home. They did not see Jesus; they thought he was with some of the families, but he was not. They then went back to Jerusalem looking for him after three days. Jesus was found in the temple sitting with the doctors asking questions; they all were amazed by his understanding and wise
