Are we being adversarial to the will of God, as disobedient as all the examples given in scripture? We do it every time we put our will ahead of the Will of the Father. The foundation of mankind's world, which we have made in our own image, is built upon the concept of 'self' and self-interest...
“Therefore, remember that formerly you who are Gentiles by birth and called ‘uncircumcised’ by those who call themselves ‘the circumcision’ (which is done in the body by human hands)— remember that at that time you were separate from Christ, excluded from citizenship in Israel and foreigners to...
“However at that time, when you did not know God, you were slaves to those which by nature are no gods. But now that you have come to know God, or rather to be known by God, how is it that you turn back again to the weak and worthless elemental things, to which you desire to be enslaved all over...
I'm married and have 2 kids under the age of 5. My wife does Uber Eats in the morning from 8am-11am while I stay home with the kids until I have to go to work at 1:30 pm to 10pm is my shift at a grocery store where I work. It's hard to balance life because I feel like I can't do the things I...
It was Solima who suggested that they make up stories to tell the children yet to come, with the lessons for how to live shown through them. It was good thinking, and the others all agreed. Lesson telling stories would be made among them.
“So Jesus, perceiving that they were intending to come and take Him by force to make Him king, withdrew again to the mountain by Himself alone.
“Now when evening came, His disciples went down to the sea, and after getting into a boat, they started to cross the sea to Capernaum. It had already...
In my last blog post, "Christ - The Bridge to Life", we see the parallels between Deuteronomy 30:14,19 and Romans 8:8-10, sanctification and confession unto salvation emphasized, respectively. Concerning the Deuteronomy passage, we see the beginning of a mandate that finds a full expression in...
“The way of the righteous is smooth;
O Upright One, make the path of the righteous level.
Indeed, while following the way of Your judgments, O Lord,
We have waited for You eagerly;
Your name, even Your memory, is the desire of our souls.
At night my soul longs for You,
Indeed, my spirit within...
“Bless those who persecute you; bless and do not curse. Rejoice with those who rejoice, and weep with those who weep. Be of the same mind toward one another; do not be haughty in mind, but associate with the lowly. Do not be wise in your own estimation. Never pay back evil for evil to anyone...
Ghislaine Maxwell stated in an interview that she never saw anything inappropriate with Trump. Then she was rewarded with a move to a minimum security prison, known as Club Fed. Many MAGA supporters buy into what she said, but some don't. She was seen as liar through out her trial, and...
“What shall I render to the Lord
For all His benefits toward me?
I shall lift up the cup of salvation
And call upon the name of the Lord.
I shall pay my vows to the Lord,
Oh may it be in the presence of all His people.
Precious in the sight of the Lord
Is the death of His godly ones.
O Lord...
“Pay heed, you senseless among the people;
And when will you understand, stupid ones?
He who planted the ear, does He not hear?
He who formed the eye, does He not see?
He who chastens the nations, will He not rebuke,
Even He who teaches man knowledge?
The Lord knows the thoughts of man,
That...
Context: Those who are in Christ Jesus are those who, by faith in Jesus Christ, walk (in conduct, in practice) not according to the flesh, but according to the Spirit, in obedience to God. And those who are in Christ Jesus are under obligation, not to the flesh, to live according to the flesh...
So much was still damp, that there would not be construction being done this day, but now many more of the hands had been gathering, that there would be plenty to eat this day. By the afternoon enough of dry wood had been found still, and a fire was going then, which was used for heating up some...
Following the Will of God in loving all as self, is non destructive. Both the good and bad in the world react kindly to good deeds but the bad do have a tendency to be exposed as the backwards thinking humans that they are, because of it. This, of course, does not mean just the stereotypical...
Many people in the USA are believing in a pre-tribulation rapture of the church, a teaching which was popularized in the late 1990’s and early 2000’s via the “Left Behind” book series by Tim LaHaye and Jerry B. Jenkins. And from what I understand, the doctrine of the pre-tribulation rapture was...
“If anyone sees his brother committing a sin not leading to death, he shall ask and God will for him give life to those who commit sin not leading to death. There is a sin leading to death; I do not say that he should make request for this. All unrighteousness is sin, and there is a sin not...
"The men were afraid and said, 'What is this you have done?' For they knew Jonah was fleeing from the Presence of the Lord." (Jonah 1:10)
What in the world have I done! Why have I disobeyed and brought unnecessary hardship upon myself and - more importantly - those I am closest to? I believe...
“Only conduct yourselves in a manner worthy of the gospel of Christ, so that whether I come and see you or remain absent, I will hear of you that you are standing firm in one spirit, with one mind striving together for the faith of the gospel; in no way alarmed by your opponents—which is a sign...
