Talk about God

Sova Pace, Sydney

-

There was a lot of talk about God in Parliament. That was good. But was it genuine?

Those who really understand the nature of God will do the right things and say the right things too. Otherwise, I call them hypocrites. Hypocrites are those that say they believe in something but do otherwise. Those who have God’s spirit will respect other people’s views but not necessaril­y believe in them or follow them. But God’s standards are clear. They stand for truth, equality, respect, obedience, love and forgivenes­s.

I hope that our conscience guides us to do good at all times. Because that is a Godly trait. I hope that when God tells us through his spirit that something we are saying is not good, that we will listen to Him. We need to know we will be held accountabl­e by God for everything we think, say and do.

That’s why we have freedom of choice. We are free to choose what we want, whether it’s good or bad. But we are not free to choose the consequenc­es of our choice. We will face the consequenc­es of choice. When we make a wrong choice we will pay the price.

When we make the right choice we will be blessed. This is an eternal law and even God is bound by it otherwise He would cease to be God.

I hope that when the parliament­arians return to Parliament next year, they will watch what they say and do.

No one is exempt from God’s law.
