God First
John 3:3 Jesus answered and said unto him, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God. 4 Nicodemus saith unto him, How can a man be born when he is old? can he enter the second time into his mother’s womb, and be born? 5 Jesus answered, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born of water and of the Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God. 6 That which is born of the flesh is flesh and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit.On a few occasions I've had family and friends inquire about my belief and to there surprise I told them that I am a child of God before anything. That was disturbing to my questioner's as they insisted I was born Armenian. This is true but I also have had a second birth into the kingdom of heaven and always put God first.
Matthew 22:36 Master, which is the great commandment in the law? 37 Jesus said unto him, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind. 38 This is the first and great commandment.
No dis-respect to my Armenian brothers and sisters because I am still 100% Armenian but as a follower of God's word, I am a Christian first before anything human.
Praise the name of the Lord!
Jab, how do you seperate you business from you Christian convictions? Do you find that the two conflict? Do you belong to a church?

Matthew 13:24 Another parable put he forth unto them, saying, The kingdom of heaven is likened unto a man which sowed good seed in his field: 25 But while men slept, his enemy came and sowed tares among the wheat, and went his way. 26 But when the blade was sprung up, and brought forth fruit, then appeared the tares also. 27 So the servants of the householder came and said unto him, Sir, didst not thou sow good seed in thy field? from whence then hath it tares? 28 He said unto them, An enemy hath done this. The servants said unto him, Wilt thou then that we go and gather them up? 29 But he said, Nay; lest while ye gather up the tares, ye root up also the wheat with them. 30 Let both grow together until the harvest: and in the time of harvest I will say to the reapers, Gather ye together first the tares, and bind them in bundles to burn them: but gather the wheat into my barn.
Anonymous, My work does conflict with my spirit but this is where God has put me and I believe He is going to use me in this capacity to help spread the Word. I await for the glory of God and for Jesus to uproot His flock.
I go to Bethel Gospal Tabernacle, www.bethelgospeltabernacle.com/ where their motto is "the whole Bible for the whole world"
For now I have to associate with everyone and be Christian in this world but the time will come where I will be with all those who serve our great God in heaven.
God Bless.
