No One Owns the Church But God

I wrote a blog here, regarding my feelings about the Church and who owns the Church.  It disappeared as I saved it, and I believe, perhaps, this was God's way of saying I should not write it...so I won't do it again.  But please ponder, who REALLY own's God's Holy Church...God, of course, and we should always listen to what He wants...not what we want.

Jesus replied, “This is the most important: ‘Hear O Israel, the Lord our God, the Lord is One. Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind and with all your strength.' The second is this: ‘Love your neighbor as yourself.’ No other commandment is greater than these.”

Who is our neighbor?  Maybe that should be the title here!

My Blogs...And Other Writings



Yesterday at church Raf was asked if I write my blogs or if, in fact, I copy someone else's words are used.  I was, to say the least, surprised.  I thought everyone knew I do my own writing...I am a writer, that's what I do.  

I have been blogging since January of 2005.  Here, on my profile, is a list of my current blogs, and to the left on "The Time of My Life" is a list of all the blogs I have ever written.  https://www.blogger.com/profile/15079271353907261500


This blog is my current blog, and here I am writing about what I care about, what I'm interested in, what is important to me.
I have also, over the years been published in The Upper Room Devotional Guide and other devotional materials.  I was once published in the National Review.  I was a columnist for the Mineral Wells Index for years, and I have written for several other newspapers over the years.  I have published two books which are still on sale through Amazon, Mineral Wells, Images of America and Home to the Brazos, the first in what I hope will be a series set in Palo Pinto County, Texas.


I think I can promise you that if I use someone else's words, I use they in a quote and identify the author, and if I link, I do not say those sites linked are my websites.


If you have questions for me, please email me at sue_seibert@att.net.  I hope everyone who reads this blog will respond to it, either positively or negatively.


Thank you.


P.S. My next blog will be entitled "No One Owns the Church".
