    Creation Sabbath Origin

    Exodus 20:8-11 “Remember the Sabbath day by keeping it holy. Six days you shall labor and do all your work, but the seventh day is a Sabbath to the LORD your God. On it you shall not do any work, neither you, nor your son or daughter, nor your manservant or maidservant, nor your animals, nor...

    Blessed are you who are poor, for yours is the kingdom of God. (Lk 6:20b)

    I recently read this comment on the verse: this means "blessed are those of you who are poor in material things and who are my disciples and thus are putting your trust in God". This comment seems to be putting forth the view of the worthy and unworthy poor. Contrast this with another comment...

    Why a scientific concentration above 90% in dialogue, hampers sociological discovery

    Hi there, So just to point out the obvious, but the more you say you know something, because its based on a theory you know, the harder it is to make successive gains in the same field. In other words, if I am a science boffin and all that interests me is greater and greater fanciful theorizing...

    We are Certainly Blessed

    Seeing the crowds, he went up on the mountain, and when he sat down, his disciples came to him. And he opened his mouth and taught them, saying: “Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.” Matt 5:1-3 ESV If we are poor in spirit, we are humble, not proud. We realize...

    Ephesians 1 -- Our Vision

    James 1:12 Blessed is the one who perseveres under trial because, having stood the test, that person will receive the crown of life that the Lord has promised to those who love him. What I want to focus on is this term “blessed”, what exactly is the blessing? We are entering the biggest trial of...

    Hated for Christ

    “If the world hates you, know that it has hated me before it hated you. If you were of the world, the world would love you as its own; but because you are not of the world, but I chose you out of the world, therefore the world hates you.” John 15:18-19 ESV If we are truly following Jesus Christ...

    Blessed are the poor in spirit...

    What does this mean? To be poor in spirit. Is it meaning God's spirit? Or is it referring to being made in spirit as a poor spirit child and therefore not great upon the earth in wisdom and knowledge, etc. Matthew 5:3 "Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven."

    Blessed painting

    Hello. I know its wrong to have talismans (and?) charms in a house, since its considered magic. But is it allowed for a christian to draw a painting with crosses and text which you pray to God to protect its user? What do you think. Thanks!

    Matthew 5:3 - Understanding Suffering

    This week I am focusing on the first BeAttitude from the sermon on the mount, but I can't seem to understand this part just yet. "Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the Kingdom of Heaven." A devotional that is going along with this reading makes a point to say that we must mourn to...

    Game: I am blessed because...

    So often, we forget to look at the blessings in our lives because we are so distracted by the negative things around us. We let hard times, pains, struggles, losses, and so many other things get the best of us. Instead, let's focus on some of the blessings we've received. For instance: I am...

    Why does this keep happening

    A few days ago my mom gave my dad a FINAL chance. I had to agree that if he messed it up that I wasn't allowed to beg her to stay and that I'd support her leaving. I told him this and we had a great 2 days. The day after this conversation we had a wonderful family day of spending time together...
