Post by: Flyin6 on February 19, 2015, 08:44:10 AM
Let's do a scriptural word of the day. I'll share mine, others may share as well. We won't place any shackles on the holy spirit on this site!

Proverbs 13:2  From the fruit of their lips people enjoy good things, but the unfaithful have an appetite for violence.

I've been leaning on this one a lot lately:

James 1:5 "But if anyone is deficient in wisdom, he should ask God, who gives to all generously and without reprimand, and it will be given to him."

A psalm of David.
1 The LORD is my shepherd, I shall not be in want. 2 He makes me lie down in green pastures, he leads me beside quiet waters, 3 he restores my soul. He guides me in paths of righteousness for his name's sake. 4 Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil, for you are with me; your rod and your staff, they comfort me. 5 You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies. You anoint my head with oil; my cup overflows. 6 Surely goodness and love will follow me all the days of my life, and I will dwell in the house of the LORD forever.  :)

...but because Jesus lives forever, he has a permanent priesthood. Therefore he is able to save completely, those who come to God through him...

Psalm 91:5-11

You will not fear the terror of the night
Nor the arrow that flies by the day
Nor the pestilence that stalks in the darkness
Nor the plague that destroys at midday

A thousand may fall at your side
Ten thousand at your right hand
But it will not come near you
You will only observe it with your eyes
and see the punishment of the wicked

If you say the Lord is my refuge
And you make the most high your dwelling
No harm will overtake you
No disaster will come near your tent
For he will command his angels concerning you
To guard you in all your ways

 With long life I will satisfy him

From Proverbs:

14:19  The simple believe anything, but the prudent give thought to their steps

14:34  Righteousness exalts a nation, but sin condemns any people

1:32  For the waywardness of the simple will kill them, and the complacency of fools will destroy them
But whoever listens to me will live in safety and be at ease without fear or harm.

2:12 Wisdom will save you from the ways of wicked men...

Matthew 6:5-13

And when you pray do not be like the hypocrites, for they love to pray standing in the synagogues and on the street corners to be seen by others... But when you pray, go to your room, close the door, and pray to your father, who is unseen. Then your father, who sees what is done in secret, will reward you,

And when you pray, do not keep on babbling like pagans, for they think they will be heard because of their many words...

This, then is how you should pray

Our Father who art in heaven
Hallowed by thy name
Thy kingdom come
Thy will be done
On earth as it is in heaven
Give us this day our daily bread
And forgive us our trespasses
As we forgive those who trespass against us
Lead us not into temptation
but deliver us from evil.

May his sacrifice not be in vain.

And if this passage does not shake you to the core, you need something you do not have....

Made Alive in Christ - Ephesians 2

2 And you were dead in your trespasses and sins, 2 in which you formerly walked according to the course of this world, according to the prince of the power of the air, of the spirit that is now working in the sons of disobedience. 3 Among them we too all formerly lived in the lusts of our flesh, indulging the desires of the flesh and of the mind, and were by nature children of wrath, even as the rest. 4 But God, being rich in mercy, because of His great love with which He loved us, 5 even when we were dead in our transgressions, made us alive together with Christ (by grace you have been saved), 6 and raised us up with Him, and seated us with Him in the heavenly places in Christ Jesus, 7 so that in the ages to come He might show the surpassing riches of His grace in kindness toward us in Christ Jesus. 8 For by grace you have been saved through faith; and that not of yourselves, it is the gift of God; 9 not as a result of works, so that no one may boast. 10 For we are His workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand so that we would walk in them.

Saying 5  (Sayings of wise men)



28
Do not move an ancient boundary stone
    set up by your ancestors


My Note: When I was reading this earlier it occurred to me that this verse may have more application than just a physical land boundary. Now being a Kentuckian who owns a farm which was first established in the early 1800's I get that. When you read the land description, it does indeed give some boundary markers as a "bend in the creek", a large pile of stones, and a spike set in an oak tree! So yes, I could see where it tells me not to move the pile of stones which I could do quite easily with a track loader.

But what occurred to me when I read it was we should not tamper with those boundaries for social behavior set by our ancestors. The one that came to mind immediately was same sex relationships. In modern day America, gay relationships are forcing their way into the mainstream lives of many. These relationships are in biblical terms abominations. We cross that boundary in what is becoming Sodom which was America and look at all the unraveling of order, and values, and personal responsibility, and just about everything good.

   Rom chapter 9:  14  What shall we say then? There is no injustice with God, is there? May it never be! 15  For He says to Moses, "I WILL HAVE MERCY ON WHOM I HAVE MERCY, AND I WILL HAVE COMPASSION ON WHOM I HAVE COMPASSION." 16  So then it does not depend on the man who wills or the man who runs, but on God who has mercy. 17  For the Scripture says to Pharaoh, "FOR THIS VERY PURPOSE I RAISED YOU UP, TO DEMONSTRATE MY POWER IN YOU, AND THAT MY NAME MIGHT BE PROCLAIMED THROUGHOUT THE WHOLE EARTH." 18  So then He has mercy on whom He desires, and He hardens whom He desires.
    19  You will say to me then, "Why does He still find fault? For who resists His will?" 20  On the contrary, who are you, O man, who answers back to God? The thing molded will not say to the molder, "Why did you make me like this," will it? 21  Or does not the potter have a right over the clay, to make from the same lump one vessel for honorable use and another for common use?

22 Flee the evil desires of youth and pursue righteousness, faith, love and peace, along with those who call on the Lord out of a pure heart. 23 Don’t have anything to do with foolish and stupid arguments, because you know they produce quarrels. 24 And the Lord’s servant must not be quarrelsome but must be kind to everyone, able to teach, not resentful. 25 Opponents must be gently instructed, in the hope that God will grant them repentance leading them to a knowledge of the truth, 26 and that they will come to their senses and escape from the trap of the devil, who has taken them captive to do his will.

5 If any of you lacks wisdom, he should ask God, who gives generously to all without finding fault, and it will be given to him.

2 My purpose is that they may be encouraged in heart and united in love, so that they may have the full riches of complete understanding, in order that they may know the mystery of God, namely, Christ, 3 in whom are hidden all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge.

Since we are entering the graduation season let's look to Proverbs 2.  Seek truth.  Jesus is the Truth.

The Value of Wisdom

1 My son, if you receive my words
    and treasure up my commandments with you,
2 making your ear attentive to wisdom
    and inclining your heart to understanding;
3 yes, if you call out for insight
    and raise your voice for understanding,
4 if you seek it like silver
    and search for it as for hidden treasures,
5 then you will understand the fear of the Lord
    and find the knowledge of God.
6 For the Lord gives wisdom;
    from his mouth come knowledge and understanding;
7 he stores up sound wisdom for the upright;
    he is a shield to those who walk in integrity,
8 guarding the paths of justice
    and watching over the way of his saints.
9 Then you will understand righteousness and justice
    and equity, every good path;
10 for wisdom will come into your heart,
    and knowledge will be pleasant to your soul;
11 discretion will watch over you,
    understanding will guard you,
12 delivering you from the way of evil,
    from men of perverted speech,
13 who forsake the paths of uprightness
    to walk in the ways of darkness,
14 who rejoice in doing evil
    and delight in the perverseness of evil,
15 men whose paths are crooked,
    and who are devious in their ways.
16 So you will be delivered from the forbidden[a] woman,
    from the adulteress with her smooth words,
17 who forsakes the companion of her youth
    and forgets the covenant of her God;
18 for her house sinks down to death,
    and her paths to the departed;[c]
19 none who go to her come back,
    nor do they regain the paths of life.
20 So you will walk in the way of the good
    and keep to the paths of the righteous.
21 For the upright will inhabit the land,
    and those with integrity will remain in it,
22 but the wicked will be cut off from the land,
    and the treacherous will be rooted out of it.

  Romans 1

26 For this reason God gave them over to degrading passions; for their women exchanged the natural function for that which is unnatural, 27 and in the same way also the men abandoned the natural function of the woman and burned in their desire toward one another, men with men committing indecent acts and receiving in their own persons the due penalty of their error.

28 And just as they did not see fit to acknowledge God any longer, God gave them over to a depraved mind, to do those things which are not proper, 29 being filled with all unrighteousness, wickedness, greed, evil; full of envy, murder, strife, deceit, malice; they are gossips, 30 slanderers, haters of God, insolent, arrogant, boastful, inventors of evil, disobedient to parents, 31 without understanding, untrustworthy, unloving, unmerciful; 32 and although they know the ordinance of God, that those who practice such things are worthy of death, they not only do the same, but also give hearty approval to those who practice them.

11 Since all these things are to be destroyed in this way, what sort of people ought you to be in holy conduct and godliness, 12 looking for and hastening the coming of the day of God, because of which the heavens will be destroyed by burning, and the elements will melt with intense heat! 13 But according to His promise we are looking for new heavens and a new earth, in which righteousness dwells.

20 And the Lord said, “The outcry of Sodom and Gomorrah is indeed great, and their sin is exceedingly grave. 21 I will go down now, and see if they have done entirely according to its outcry, which has come to Me; and if not, I will know.”

22 Then the men turned away from there and went toward Sodom, while Abraham was still standing before the Lord. 23 Abraham came near and said, “Will You indeed sweep away the righteous with the wicked? 24 Suppose there are fifty righteous within the city; will You indeed sweep it away and not spare the place for the sake of the fifty righteous who are in it? 25 Far be it from You to do such a thing, to slay the righteous with the wicked, so that the righteous and the wicked are treated alike. Far be it from You! Shall not the Judge of all the earth deal justly?” 26 So the Lord said, “If I find in Sodom fifty righteous within the city, then I will spare the whole place on their account.” 27 And Abraham replied, “Now behold, I have ventured to speak to the Lord, although I am but dust and ashes. 28 Suppose the fifty righteous are lacking five, will You destroy the whole city because of five?” And He said, “I will not destroy it if I find forty-five there.” 29 He spoke to Him yet again and said, “Suppose forty are found there?” And He said, “I will not do it on account of the forty.” 30 Then he said, “Oh may the Lord not be angry, and I shall speak; suppose thirty are found there?” And He said, “I will not do it if I find thirty there.” 31 And he said, “Now behold, I have ventured to speak to the Lord; suppose twenty are found there?” And He said, “I will not destroy it on account of the twenty.” 32 Then he said, “Oh may the Lord not be angry, and I shall speak only this once; suppose ten are found there?” And He said, “I will not destroy it on account of the ten.” 33 As soon as He had finished speaking to Abraham the Lord departed, and Abraham returned to his place.

The Doom of Sodom

19 Now the two angels came to Sodom in the evening as Lot was sitting in the gate of Sodom. When Lot saw them, he rose to meet them and bowed down with his face to the ground. 2 And he said, “Now behold, my lords, please turn aside into your servant’s house, and spend the night, and wash your feet; then you may rise early and go on your way.” They said however, “No, but we shall spend the night in the square.” 3 Yet he urged them strongly, so they turned aside to him and entered his house; and he prepared a feast for them, and baked unleavened bread, and they ate. 4 Before they lay down, the men of the city, the men of Sodom, surrounded the house, both young and old, all the people from every quarter; 5 and they called to Lot and said to him, “Where are the men who came to you tonight? Bring them out to us that we may have relations with them.” 6 But Lot went out to them at the doorway, and shut the door behind him, 7 and said, “Please, my brothers, do not act wickedly. 8 Now behold, I have two daughters who have not had relations with man; please let me bring them out to you, and do to them whatever you like; only do nothing to these men, inasmuch as they have come under the shelter of my roof.” 9 But they said, “Stand aside.” Furthermore, they said, “This one came in as an alien, and already he is acting like a judge; now we will treat you worse than them.” So they pressed hard against Lot and came near to break the door. 10 But the men reached out their hands and brought Lot into the house with them, and shut the door. 11 They struck the men who were at the doorway of the house with blindness, both small and great, so that they wearied themselves trying to find the doorway.

12 Then the two men said to Lot, “Whom else have you here? A son-in-law, and your sons, and your daughters, and whomever you have in the city, bring them out of the place; 13 for we are about to destroy this place, because their outcry has become so great before the Lord that the Lord has sent us to destroy it.” 14 Lot went out and spoke to his sons-in-law, who were to marry his daughters, and said, “Up, get out of this place, for the Lord will destroy the city.” But he appeared to his sons-in-law to be jesting.

15 When morning dawned, the angels urged Lot, saying, “Up, take your wife and your two daughters who are here, or you will be swept away in the punishment of the city.” 16 But he hesitated. So the men seized his hand and the hand of his wife and the hands of his two daughters, for the compassion of the Lord was upon him; and they brought him out, and put him outside the city. 17 When they had brought them outside, one said, “Escape for your life! Do not look behind you, and do not stay anywhere in the valley; escape to the mountains, or you will be swept away.” 18 But Lot said to them, “Oh no, my lords! 19 Now behold, your servant has found favor in your sight, and you have magnified your lovingkindness, which you have shown me by saving my life; but I cannot escape to the mountains, for the disaster will overtake me and I will die; 20 now behold, this town is near enough to flee to, and it is small. Please, let me escape there (is it not small?) that my life may be saved.” 21 He said to him, “Behold, I grant you this request also, not to overthrow the town of which you have spoken. 22 Hurry, escape there, for I cannot do anything until you arrive there.” Therefore the name of the town was called Zoar.

23 The sun had risen over the earth when Lot came to Zoar. 24 Then the Lord rained on Sodom and Gomorrah brimstone and fire from the Lord out of heaven, 25 and He overthrew those cities, and all the valley, and all the inhabitants of the cities, and what grew on the ground. 26 But his wife, from behind him, looked back, and she became a pillar of salt.

27 Now Abraham arose early in the morning and went to the place where he had stood before the Lord; 28 and he looked down toward Sodom and Gomorrah, and toward all the land of the valley, and he saw, and behold, the smoke of the land ascended like the smoke of a furnace.

29 Thus it came about, when God destroyed the cities of the valley, that God remembered Abraham, and sent Lot out of the midst of the overthrow, when He overthrew the cities in which Lot lived

Romans 13:12-14

12 The night is nearly over; the day is almost here. So let us put aside the deeds of darkness and put on the armor of light. 13 Let us behave decently, as in the daytime, not in carousing and drunkenness, not in sexual immorality and debauchery, not in dissension and jealousy. 14 Rather, clothe yourselves with the Lord Jesus Christ, and do not think about how to gratify the desires of the flesh.

Ephesians 4:22-24

22 You were taught, with regard to your former way of life, to put off your old self, which is being corrupted by its deceitful desires; 23 to be made new in the attitude of your minds; 24 and to put on the new self, created to be like God in true righteousness and holiness.

1 Corinthians 10:12-13

 12 So, if you think you are standing firm, be careful that you don’t fall! 13 No temptation has overtaken you except what is common to mankind. And God is faithful; he will not let you be tempted[d] beyond what you can bear. But when you are tempted, he will also provide a way out so that you can endure it.

Galatians 5:13

13 You, my brothers and sisters, were called to be free. But do not use your freedom to indulge the flesh rather, serve one another humbly in love.

1 Timothy 6:11-12

11 But you, man of God, flee from all this, and pursue righteousness, godliness, faith, love, endurance and gentleness. 12 Fight the good fight of the faith. Take hold of the eternal life to which you were called when you made your good confession in the presence of many witnesses.

A Thorn in the Flesh - 2 Corinthians 12

7 Because of the surpassing greatness of the revelations, for this reason, to keep me from exalting myself, there was given me a thorn in the flesh, a messenger of Satan to torment me—to keep me from exalting myself! 8 Concerning this I implored the Lord three times that it might leave me. 9 And He has said to me, “My grace is sufficient for you, for power is perfected in weakness.” Most gladly, therefore, I will rather boast [c]about my weaknesses, so that the power of Christ may dwell in me. 10 Therefore I am well content with weaknesses, with [d]insults, with distresses, with persecutions, with difficulties, for Christ’s sake; for when I am weak, then I am strong.

"What do you want Me to do for you?" He said, "Lord, that I may receive my sight." —Luke 18:41

This man received his sight. But the most impossible thing for you is to be so closely identified with the Lord that there is literally nothing of your old life remaining. God will do it if you will ask Him. But you have to come to the point of believing Him to be almighty. We find faith by not only believing what Jesus says, but, even more, by trusting Jesus Himself. If we only look at what He says, we will never believe. Once we see Jesus, the impossible things He does in our lives become as natural as breathing. The agony we suffer is only the result of the deliberate shallowness of our own heart. We won’t believe; we won’t let go by severing the line that secures the boat to the shore— we prefer to worry.

"The Sovereign Lord has given me an instructed tongue, to know the word that sustains the weary. He awakens me morning by morning, wakens my ear to listen like one being taught.
The Sovereign Lord has opened my ears, and I have not been rebellious; I have not drawn back."

Each new day is a gift from God, and if you are wise, you will spend a few quiet moments each morning thanking the Giver.

Rest easy Sgt. Doiron.
I share in this loss too. It will always stick in my mind the first time I saw a Canadian soldier being carried across Kilo ramp in Kandahar in silence with a thousand plus fellow soldiers standing there in the heat...
He is a loss to all of us

Sgt. Doiron was originally from a town only about an hours drive from where I live. Though I did not know him, in smaller towns such as that, everyone always knows someone who has been affected by such a loss. Thank you for your service Sgt. Doiron, we will remember.

Psalm 18:31-36New International Version (NIV)

31 For who is God besides the Lord?
    And who is the Rock except our God?
32 It is God who arms me with strength
    and keeps my way secure.
33 He makes my feet like the feet of a deer;
    he causes me to stand on the heights.
34 He trains my hands for battle;
    my arms can bend a bow of bronze.
35 You make your saving help my shield,
    and your right hand sustains me;
    your help has made me great.
36 You provide a broad path for my feet,
    so that my ankles do not give way.

Ephesians 5:6-14


Get up, sleeper, and rise up from the dead,
and the Messiah will shine on you




Light versus Darkness

6 Let no one deceive you with empty arguments, for God’s wrath is coming on the disobedient because of these things  7 Therefore, do not become their partners.  8 For you were once darkness, but now you are light in the Lord. Walk as children of light—  9 for the fruit of the light[c] results in all goodness, righteousness, and truth—  10 discerning what is pleasing to the Lord.  11 Don’t participate in the fruitless works of darkness, but instead expose them.  12 For it is shameful even to mention what is done by them in secret.  13 Everything exposed by the light is made clear,  14 for what makes everything clear is light. Therefore it is said:


Get up, sleeper, and rise up from the dead,
and the Messiah will shine on you

Came to me again!

Ephesians 5: 3-18

3 But among you there must not be even a hint of sexual immorality, or of any kind of impurity, or of greed, because these are improper for God’s holy people. 4 Nor should there be obscenity, foolish talk or coarse joking, which are out of place, but rather thanksgiving. 5 For of this you can be sure: No immoral, impure or greedy person—such a person is an idolater—has any inheritance in the kingdom of Christ and of God.[a] 6 Let no one deceive you with empty words, for because of such things God’s wrath comes on those who are disobedient. 7 Therefore do not be partners with them.

8 For you were once darkness, but now you are light in the Lord. Live as children of light 9 (for the fruit of the light consists in all goodness, righteousness and truth) 10 and find out what pleases the Lord. 11 Have nothing to do with the fruitless deeds of darkness, but rather expose them. 12 It is shameful even to mention what the disobedient do in secret. 13 But everything exposed by the light becomes visible—and everything that is illuminated becomes a light. 14 This is why it is said:


“Wake up, sleeper,
    rise from the dead,
    and Christ will shine on you.”

15 Be very careful, then, how you live—not as unwise but as wise, 16 making the most of every opportunity, because the days are evil. 17 Therefore do not be foolish, but understand what the Lord’s will is. 18 Do not get drunk on wine, which leads to debauchery. Instead, be filled with the Spirit, 1

The truth is, many today are told that they are saved because of some followed formula; but Jesus said believers would be known by their fruits, not by their human works (Matthew 7:16 [25]). He also said, in Matthew 7:21-23 [26], “Not everyone saying to me, ‘Lord, Lord’ will enter into the kingdom of heaven; but the one doing the will of my Father who is in heaven. Many will say to me in that day, ‘Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in your name? And in your name did we not cast out demons? And in your name did many works of power?’ And then I will confess to them, ‘I never knew you; depart from me, the ones working lawlessness.’”

backsliding is not found in the New Testament and is never applied to the believer in Christ. It is strictly an Old Testament term describing the Children of Israel.

2 And he opened the bottomless pit; and there arose a smoke out of the pit, as the smoke of a great furnace; and the sun and the air were darkened by reason of the smoke of the pit.

3 And there came out of the smoke locusts upon the earth: and unto them was given power, as the scorpions of the earth have power.

4 And it was commanded them that they should not hurt the grass of the earth, neither any green thing, neither any tree; but only those men which have not the seal of God in their foreheads.

5 And to them it was given that they should not kill them, but that they should be tormented five months: and their torment was as the torment of a scorpion, when he striketh a man.

John chapter 5

5:1 After this there was a feast of the Jews; and Jesus went up to Jerusalem.

2 Now there is at Jerusalem by the sheep market a pool, which is called in the Hebrew tongue Bethesda, having five porches.

3 In these lay a great multitude of impotent folk, of blind, halt, withered, waiting for the moving of the water.

4 For an angel went down at a certain season into the pool, and troubled the water: whosoever then first after the troubling of the water stepped in was made whole of whatsoever disease he had.

5 And a certain man was there, which had an infirmity thirty and eight years.

6 When Jesus saw him lie, and knew that he had been now a long time in that case, he saith unto him, Wilt thou be made whole?

7 The impotent man answered him, Sir, I have no man, when the water is troubled, to put me into the pool: but while I am coming, another steppeth down before me.

8 Jesus saith unto him, Rise, take up thy bed, and walk.

9 And immediately the man was made whole, and took up his bed, and walked: and on the same day was the sabbath.

10 The Jews therefore said unto him that was cured, It is the sabbath day: it is not lawful for thee to carry thy bed.

11 He answered them, He that made me whole, the same said unto me, Take up thy bed, and walk.

12 Then asked they him, What man is that which said unto thee, Take up thy bed, and walk?

13 And he that was healed wist not who it was: for Jesus had conveyed himself away, a multitude being in that place.

14 Afterward Jesus findeth him in the temple, and said unto him, Behold, thou art made whole: sin no more, lest a worse thing come unto thee.

15 The man departed, and told the Jews that it was Jesus, which had made him whole.

16 And therefore did the Jews persecute Jesus, and sought to slay him, because he had done these things on the sabbath day.

Psalm 23

1{A Psalm of David.} The LORD is my shepherd; I shall not want.

2He maketh me to lie down in green pastures: he leadeth me beside the still waters.

3He restoreth my soul: he leadeth me in the paths of righteousness for his name's sake.

4Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff they comfort me.

5Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies: thou anointest my head with oil; my cup runneth over.

6Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life: and I will dwell in the house of the LORD for ever.

Remind them to be subject to rulers, to authorities, to be obedient, to be ready for every good deed, 2 to malign no one, to be peaceable, gentle, showing every consideration for all men. 3 For we also once were foolish ourselves, disobedient, deceived, enslaved to various lusts and pleasures, spending our life in malice and envy, hateful, hating one another. 4 But when the kindness of God our Savior and His love for mankind appeared, 5 He saved us, not on the basis of deeds which we have done in righteousness, but according to His mercy, by the washing of regeneration and renewing by the Holy Spirit, 6 whom He poured out upon us richly through Jesus Christ our Savior, 7 so that being justified by His grace we would be made heirs [a]according to the hope of eternal life.

1 My son, if you accept my words

    and applying your heart to understanding
3 indeed, if you call out for insight
    and cry aloud for understanding,
4 and if you look for it as for silver
    and search for it as for hidden treasure,
5 then you will understand the fear of the Lord
    and find the knowledge of God.
6 For the Lord gives wisdom;
    from his mouth come knowledge and understanding.
7 He holds success in store for the upright,
    he is a shield to those whose walk is blameless,
8 for he guards the course of the just
    and protects the way of his faithful ones.
9 Then you will understand what is right and just
    and fair, every good path.
10 For wisdom will enter your heart,
    and knowledge will be pleasant to your soul.
11 Discretion will protect you,
    and understanding will guard you.
12 Wisdom will save you from the ways of wicked men,
    from men whose words are perverse,
13 who have left the straight paths
    to walk in dark ways,
14 who delight in doing wrong
    and rejoice in the perverseness of evil,
15 whose paths are crooked
    and who are devious in their ways.
16 Wisdom will save you also from the adulterous woman,
    from the wayward woman with her seductive words,
17 who has left the partner of her youth
    and ignored the covenant she made before God.
18 Surely her house leads down to death
    and her paths to the spirits of the dead.
19 None who go to her return
    or attain the paths of life.
20 Thus you will walk in the ways of the good
    and keep to the paths of the righteous.
21 For the upright will live in the land,
    and the blameless will remain in it;
22 but the wicked will be cut off from the land,
    and the unfaithful will be torn from it.

At times we struggle with the government we have and this was the basis of the lesson at our house today.

All government, not just the ones we agree with, are ordained by God. And we are called to be subject to them, UNTIL their laws conflict with God's laws.  Yes that means, dictatorships, communism, and even Hitler were ordained, not just permitted.

Food for thought. 

Be Subject to Government

13 Every person is to be in subjection to the governing authorities. For there is no authority except from God, and those which exist are established by God. 2 Therefore whoever resists authority has opposed the ordinance of God; and they who have opposed will receive condemnation upon themselves. 3 For rulers are not a cause of fear for good behavior, but for evil. Do you want to have no fear of authority? Do what is good and you will have praise from the same; 4 for it is a minister of God to you for good. But if you do what is evil, be afraid; for it does not bear the sword for nothing; for it is a minister of God, an avenger who brings wrath on the one who practices evil. 5 Therefore it is necessary to be in subjection, not only because of wrath, but also for conscience’ sake. 6 For because of this you also pay taxes, for rulers are servants of God, devoting themselves to this very thing. 7 Render to all what is due them: tax to whom tax is due; custom to whom custom; fear to whom fear; honor to whom honor.

During my morning time with God today, I was reading in Romans. Although much (Most) of my reading this past year seems to be in the old testament...THink of it as the strong foundation upon which the New testament is built and a pretty good insight into who God actually is, I love it there.

But yesterday, during a discussion with my pastor, he led me to another place, Romans. Now in my bible, I make notes, lots of notes. In fact Romans, chapter 8 is just a huge scribble from many different trips over the text where I seem to pull out something different, or I notice something that I hadn't before.

Although I went to the book specifically went to Romans to look over 8:31 to the end, where Paul points out that we are more than conquerors, as is often the case I then read the paragraph or two preceding the message, and that's where I noticed this:

Romans 8:26-27 26In the same way, the Spirit helps us in our weakness. We do not know what we ought to pray for, but the Spirit himself intercedes for us through wordless groans. 27 And he who searches our hearts knows the mind of the Spirit, because the Spirit intercedes for God's people in accordance with the will of God.

I wrote an entire sermon as the spirit prompted me to do, Read it here:

I will keep you and will make you
    to be a covenant for the people
    and a light for the Gentiles,
7 to open eyes that are blind,
    to free captives from prison
    and to release from the dungeon those who sit in darkness.

8 “I am the Lord; that is my name!
    I will not yield my glory to another
    or my praise to idols.
9 See, the former things have taken place,
    and new things I declare;
before they spring into being

Isaiah 40:29-31

29 He gives strength to the weary
and increases the power of the weak.
30 Even youths grow tired and weary,
and young men stumble and fall;
31 but those who hope in the Lord
will renew their strength.
They will soar on wings like eagles;
they will run and not grow weary,
they will walk and not be faint.

Commentary: So I was thinking of Joshua and Caleb...Remember those two? When Moses led Israel out of captivity by the Egyptians following Passover, they set about on a month long journey over to the Promised Land. But when Moses went up to the mountain to talk to God himself (W_O_W!), he came back to find the weak Jewish nation building idols and worshiping Baal again...Read: Not good!

God cursed the nation of Israel at that moment to wander now for 40 years in the wilderness (Desert). He did that so that none of the people who God had liberated from captive Egypt would survive to see the Promised Land. All save for three, and really only two. Moses would lead them there, but be caused to die on the banks of the Jordan River without ever crossing it.
But while Israel was following a pillar of cloud during the day and one of fire at night all over that part of the world, Moses had dispatched spies, 12 of them, one from each tribe, to recon the lands that they would eventually have to occupy.
Amongst them were Caleb who hailed from the tribe of Judah and Joshua, who would be the eventual general of the army of the nation of Israel. In Numbers, where Caleb is mentioned several times, it is noted that He was a man of 40 when he was dispatched to check out his A.O. and I believe Joshua was about the same. But then Numbers talks about him saying that 45 years had passed since then and the time that he was to cross the Jordan.

The scripture talks about the twelve Recon Marines gathered around in council and talking about their lands. Ten of them were scared. They had run up against mighty kings and great warriors. In fact I believe they had discovered the earlier version of the US Army's 75th ranger regiment, something that would make any Marine tremble!

Because they were weak, those ten died of a plague before the Lord, Numbers states, but Caleb and Joshua who had said, "Let’s just kit up and get this done," Were spared. Those two had faith in the Lord, an unwavering, unshakable faith, which giants and Army Rangers could not affect...Because they were Special Forces...And SF Fear no Ranger! (Or Jarhead, or squid, or whatever) I'm joking a bit here, but the truth is that no matter what they found, they knew that the Lord most high had this, and in that they placed their stock.

And at the sprite age of 85, that is why these men had the strength of youth and were able to still wield a sword and enter battle like a man 60 years younger than them...Think about it.

This is one glaring example of the promise in Isaiah 40:29-31 being fulfilled.
Wanna be able to dance with your wife at 85? Want to pick up some loud-mouthed punk and slap him like he deserves to be at nearly 90? Have and practice faith...

Unwavering faith caused soldiers of the Bible to go through enemy lines and into their territory just to get water. I can’t recall exactly where but it has always been a strengthening reminder. The idea that they could fight to the point they are essentially unable to put down there weapons due to their hands being clinched to the sword. There is nothing that can stand against that kind of faith!

Ever have an errant thought? A temptation, or something that is evil that just doesn't fit with who you are?

I do, and an ex-Navy special warfare friend of mine who I call "Preacher" gave me a verse.

He used it in his early days when he was under attack, sometimes hundreds of times a day. Later as the word did its thing and armored him up and he gained success against the attacks, he used it less and less seldom. But it worked.

If you are a Christian, you will be under attack from a devil and his minions. They seek to make your life a failure in your eyes. Although you are saved by the Grace of a loving God, through the blood sacrifice of Jesus the Christ, you can be made to fail and sin. The devil loves to make this happen.

When you start to have more and more wins on God's side and fewer for the devil and evil, the attacks will come less likely. My friend, "Preacher" says it like this, "They will come from time to time to check the perimeter. If they find it all secure they will go away and wait to lay another trap." But in that, you win one for Jesus.

So here it is, Comes from 2 Corinthians 10:5

Casting down imaginations and all high things that exalteth themselves above the knowledge of God. Taking captive all thoughts to obedience in Christ.

Do yourself a favor, memorize that and start to say it the next time you see some bikini clad model pop up where you didn't expect it to. Say it and win.

A psychologist who is a strong believer told me something yesterday when I told him the verse. He said, "Well of course something like that came from Corinth." You see Corinth is a sailor town. It was a place of taverns with hookers on every street corner. It was a den of temptation where undoubtedly many a soul were lured to the lower levels of hades. You get off the ship you just sailed from some distant port and the first thing you see is betty grable posing on a corner and its off to the races... Corinth...

Personally, I am glad that Paul visited the church there and wrote that verse to the Corinthians. He gave me a word to strike down the devil's scout who probes at my perimeter.

God Bless all and may the word work its way through your spirit and soul.

Good one Matt!

Just yesterday my wife was helping down at a facility where women are working to overcome drug and alcohol addiction. These women have to commit to staying there for a year or more, or they will be jailed, presumably, for some drug related crime they are involved in.

She called me to send down all the beds we had and furniture because these women have very, very little. Only a change or two of clothing and sleep on couches or even the floor. These women have completed the program and are now established in a section 8 arrangement close to the facility they came out of and are working jobs and slowly reentering society in a measured and controlled manner.

Let me vent here a little. We seem to have money to help criminals crossing our borders become good democratic voters, but we leave our own people to "Recover" in squalor! We are literally sending billions overseas, for WHAT??? And I can show you a half dozen women right now who are sleeping in chairs or on the floor!!!!!!

Now despite the conditions, this particular program has a very high success rate if not the best in all of the Tuck. Why you ask? Because They put Jesus at the core of it!

And now a bit of a confession.

One of our family members had to go there, and stayed 14 months. 14 months of no phone, no contact with the outside world. 14 months of writing and studying and having to complete steps. Our family member is an alcoholic. She fought being there, and her mother my wife is the one who stood before a judge and more or less incarcerated her own child. Now to say all of that had an effect on the whole family is an understatement.
Our "person" fought it for many months. Where they should have been moving through the steps, this one stayed mired in step 1 for months, yes months beyond what was normal.

I talked to her about all that afterward. This was deep, but she said that she had harbored anger for us and fought the system, desiring only to get back into the world. She said it got very dark and real and one night she just sat in the darkness and gave up. She said, "OK, I surrender to you God, I give up. Either heal me in you or take my life right now."

I can say to you, nothing remained the same. For those of you who have faith struggles or are not sold out for God, I pray that you have a similar experience. God is real, very real. Jesus loves us more than I/we have the smallest capacity to understand. Really, I just don't get it. But she had a total reversal of the heart. The person who came out of that place is something like the person who went in. Same high pitched voice, same mannerisms, but attitude and altogether depth of her thought and conversation is someone new, someone wonderful. And I know by being near her, it is the spirit of our loving God I feel!

Them got on the fast track and blew through the program, studying constantly, and devoting her time and effort to growing and learning. Her counselors took notice and she advanced very rapidly. He came out of that program and now serves as a mentor for a number of women who are in various stages of recovery. She moved into that half-way apartment complex and that is how we found out through meeting other women, about their struggles.

They are not asking for anything. They are glad to just be alive. They are glad and thankful and consider themselves blessed and loved by their savior. What a rich place that is.

So when Kat called yesterday to tell me to throw extra stuff on the truck, (There were movers taking things down there from up here) I was moved. When Matt shared this scripture today, it broke me down to tears, really moved me. I am getting my federal income tax in any day, and I am going to buy a bed for that lady. Just yesterday, the VA Awarded me I/U which is like 100% disability. My disability pay went up to $3700 a month. When that hits, I am going to buy the other lady my wife met a bed and a sofa. That lady who sits and sleeps in a single chair was telling Kat yesterday that she was able to purchase two small rugs. She said they cost her $5 each at the thrift store. I think she needs a proper rug. She has one chair, one night stand, one very small TV, the two rugs and a few changes of clothes. Her family has abandoned her.

Anyway, Matt, thanks for listening to that little voice that just confirmed what I was convicted by yesterday

On my heart: Give

I'll answer that call.

At one point I thought I saw a like button on the forum, instead of a comment where an acknowledgment was offered?

Anyway
As I read back to the Hebrews 10/24-24
It makes me wonder do the political gatherings (cpac) mean much?
Is it the visit to the lords house being referenced?
Does gathering as family fit?

At my house we have pushed family out,  the Nucleus of my home consists of mom, dad, three boys and the occasional daughter visit. 
The rest have become judgmental, rude, disrespectful, not pleasant much.
I found the conversation to mostly consist of what other people were doing they disapproved of.   

I don’t need or want that but what I do want is a family that takes about things we can change, people we can serve, activities we can do to Create.

Anyway adding to the topic.

Thanks Mr. Matt!

You are welcome but no thanks needed.  I humbly try to be obedient.  Putting a scripture here my seem little, to me it does many times, but there is no telling who will read it and how it will impact them or the world.  I take no credit.  The Scripture relays the message and the Spirit convicts.

Issue has become we can talk to most and have a civil discussion. It someone agrees that fine, if they don't that is OK with us it'd OK, we can walk away.

A liberal or progressive must attempt to knock you down a few pegs, or say your opinion is off or should not be heard because you don't see it their way. My wife and her inlaws or mostly like that. We don't do Christmas or Thanksgiving with them anymore. Wifes brother on the other hand has come around, even openly talked of liking Trump.

I fear my older son will have major issues as he gets older. Not to go into it here much, but it is an issue between my wife and I too.

John 3:14‭-‬15 ESV
And, Matt, if you don't mind, I want to play off that please

Because there is a lesson here

The lesson is that many believe there is some sort of ceremonial event that brings one to salvation. Churches may well enjoy having people believe it is through their ceremonies that one can be forgiven and find Jesus, but that is just not true.

Just like the Bitcoin thing allows for point to point transactions with no clearing institutions needed, God set it up to come to know him and talk directly to him all by your lonesome without the help of anyone (except for Jesus) or anything!

In Matt's chosen verse, John tells us the: "whoever believes in him         may have eternal life."

That verse is run home in Paul's book, "Romans."
Romans 10:9 - If you declare with your mouth, “Jesus is Lord,... 9 If you declare with your mouth, “Jesus is Lord,” and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved.

There maybe some folks who may argue the point, but I would not choose to do so, because to understand God the only thing I can ever truly trust is the printed and anointed word printed for all mankind to see.

Although some religions would go about touting John 3:16 as the defining verse for Christianity, I would say it is Roman's 10:9. John 3:16 tells us a lot about who God really is, and that is certainly good to know, but in Romans 10:9 we learn how come into that personal relationship with him.

I'd also say something else that's a bit risky. If you think you are saved, then you either aren't, or you do not have faith in the word of God.

I'll challenge you here. Does God kid around? Does he tempt us? Has he ever lied to us? I think you know the answer to those questions. He is the rock who never changes. He is the same yesterday, today and tomorrow.

Looking at Romans 10:9 Paul clearly says that if you really, really, I mean really believe in your heart that Jesus is the son of God, and you find the gumption to actually speak the words, you will be saved. Doesn't say that God will consider your request, or a board of saints will vet you and hand out a decision or that God didn't hear you. It simply says believe it and speak it and it is done.

I would suggest to you that if you never actually believed in your heart, or afterward you didn't confess it with your mouth, then you aren't saved. I would probably say to you if we were having this conversation over a cup of Joe that if you can't point to the exact time in your life when that Romans 10:9 thing happened, that you may be kidding yourself.

Me: December 2000, Christ Chapel on Turfway road. Pastor Terry Crigger. Bill Moore who I had never seen before came to stand beside me while I cried like a baby in front of 400 people I had never seen before that day, in a church I had never set foot in before that Sunday morning. I can tell you about the lady in the red dress who spoke in tongues, but for some unexplained reason, I understood it in English. I can talk about the giant of a man on the other side of the congregation who repeated her exact words that she said in that strange language, but in English. I can talk about how something just took over me, completely and I was rendered from this big strong guy who was large and in-charge and turned into a baby just like that. I'll tell you of the chill and the Goosebumps and some sort of "Feeling" like electricity that was everywhere. I can talk how I left that place feeling like my life had changed. I can tell you how from that second onward, I just knew I belonged to God, and I knew and I know that Jesus is always with me.

Know this, doing what is in Romans 10:9 IS THE MOST IMPORTANT THING TO DO IN YOUR WHOLE LIFE! It is a 10. the next most important thing like getting married, witnessing a child being born, surviving a near miss in traffic or a battlefield is like a 3! Physical life being, what, let's say eighty odd years is pretty short standing next to forever. It's actually smaller than a microbe on a single grain of sand compared to the size of the entire universe.

Get that part right. Understand who is in charge (whether you are still in a body, in heaven, or a resident of hell). That is but one entity, and that is God. Get to know him, coming to him through his son, Jesus our Christ, or ...

Do it now. Do it right now, would you please. If you know God is real, and you really, really know Jesus is the actual living son of God, then speak it out. I would ask that you find a nearby hater and speak the words directly to him/her...just because I like a fight, but that's just me. You see as I advanced along in my Christian march (walk to you civies), I discovered the power of God is insurmountable. No demon or evil can stand in its presence. If you truly wield it, all demons and demoncrats, err, I mean evil doers can say nothing against him. He is all powerful, He could kill all of us with a thought. But he chooses, instead to love us. Ya, I don't understand that part either, but I am not him, only God is God.

Do yourself a favor in this Easter Sunday. Give up resisting the one who created you and Come and join with us, the millions who love him. Shut the door to an afterlife devoid of all hope, and smile inwardly, knowing you have become a child of God

Just do it.

Not to junk up this wonderful thread, Truly, NCO's are the core, the soul, and the backbone of our very successful Army. Probably the same in the other services as well. We officers would be pretty useless without you NCO's. The excellence of the NCO corps inspires us to be better leaders, deserving to lead such men. I feel that we sometimes fall short of the mark

And circling back to where we should be here, I give the credit and the glory to Jesus and God.

TO realize the depth of our depravity is to begin to understand the love God has for us by extending us his grace. Truly, grace is biggest thing God gives us past forgiveness through the Christ, Jesus.

^^^ Important to remember that although there is a holy trinity, there is also a chain of command.

Example we don't ask Jesus for salvation, we ask God, but through Jesus. God can't see us because we are evil and we do evil things, but he sees the Jesus in us, the blood of his son and not the sinful nature that is covered by the blood.

Maybe I just wasn't clear enough in the manner that I made the statement. And I do not want to take away from the purpose of the thread...A word for the day.
My point is simply that Jesus is the vessel through which salvation is achieved. God gives us grace and forgiveness. Agree or disagree, it's everyone's personal call, and I am not sitting in judgment over anyone's choice, but that is what I get from scripture.

Now I know the whole thing gets muddled because Jesus, God, the messenger is really just the same...person?? if that word would apply to the trinity. But for some reason, God became flesh, in man, in the person, Jesus and lived amongst us. He actually died to repent for the sin of man. His repentance, his blood is our marker. Without it, we are not saved. God recognizes the blood of his son on us when we are redeemed.

Preaching to the choir, I know, but just clarifying what I said initially.

Sharing something neat:

Yesterday I was working outside in the excessive heat. Swinging a sledge hammer trying to knock a retaining pin that weighed 35 lbs or more back into the boom of my excavator...overhead.
It was so hot I could only take a few swings and I'd start getting nauseous. Right in the middle of that, I said: Father, probably won't do it, but I sure could use a little breeze right about now.
Instantly a breeze came! Like in one second.
Shows two things:
My faith is weak that I did not think that God was around, nor that he would reach down and help me
and
That his is not. He is always the same. He tells us he loves us, and in the midst of my suffering and doubt, he just did

Job Chapter 2:7-10

Then Satan went out from the presence of the LORD and smote Job with sore boils from the sole of his foot to the crown of his head. 8 And he took a potsherd to scrape himself while he was sitting among the ashes.

9 Then his wife said to him, "Do you still hold fast your integrity? Curse God and die!" 10 But he said to her, "You speak as one of the foolish women speaks. Shall we indeed accept good from God and not accept adversity?" In all this Job did not sin with his lips.

James 1:2-4

Consider it all joy, my brethren, when you encounter various trials, 3 knowing that the testing of your faith produces endurance. 4 And let endurance have its perfect result, so that you may be perfect and complete, lacking in nothing.

Psalm 23:3 ESV
Important point here^^^^^^^^^^

He restores my soul...

But wait, when we accept Jesus, the holy spirit enters our soul and remakes us, right?

Wrong!

And this simple point is one that keeps many of us enslaved to the lies of the devil. You see we are not just body and soul, we are also spirit. In fact the bible points out that we are spiritual beings, not soulful beings. I will admit there is certainly a lot of soul to be found here and there...thinking New Orleans. But the spirit is the place where the holy comes to reside...forever!

The trick of the devil is to make you think you have fallen after accepting Jesus. You were saved through accepting Jesus as your Lord and savior. With that act you are recreated, and covered by the sacrifice Jesus made through the letting of his blood. But your soul remains the same. Same as the moment before. Now with prayer, a change in behavior, and the taking of the Lord's supper you can cleanse your soul. Over time we can get all three parts of us tracking in the same direction, but the important point to remember (I think) is that if we fall backward, maybe take a drink to many, have an extramarital affair, steal something, or any other sin, we are still saved.

The devil wants you to think you are a depraved fallen bum. But the spirit that someday sheds the body always says the same thing, "I am a child of god." Peroid and forever and forever, the message never changes. So if you find yourself in some bad place, in some pit, remember that nothing you can do can change the spirit, the part that will someday live with God himself in a place he made for us.

You are saved...Believe it, and act like it!

Ephesians 6:12-18

12 For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms. 13 Therefore put on the full armor of God, so that when the day of evil comes, you may be able to stand your ground, and after you have done everything, to stand. 14 Stand firm then, with the belt of truth buckled around your waist, with the breastplate of righteousness in place, 15 and with your feet fitted with the readiness that comes from the gospel of peace. 16 In addition to all this, take up the shield of faith, with which you can extinguish all the flaming arrows of the evil one. 17 Take the helmet of salvation and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God.
18 And pray in the Spirit on all occasions with all kinds of prayers and requests. With this in mind, be alert and always keep on praying for all the Lord’s people

Sharing here...This morning I was messaging with an evangelist I met who lives in and serves in Uganda. He is from there. Speaks English, German, and that Bantu language... So he just randomly started sending me blessings from Numbers. I opened up Facebook, read them, and smiled. I asked for a scripture for him and instantly had Deuteronomy 3:22
Deuteronomy 3:22 NIV - Do not be afraid of them; the LORD your - Bible Gateway Do not be afraid of them; the LORD your God himself will fight for you.”

And a discussion about that and surrounding verses:

Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary
3:21-29 Moses encouraged Joshua, who was to succeed him. Thus the aged and experienced in the service of God, should do all they can to strengthen the hands of those who are young, and setting out in religion. Consider what God has done, what God has promised. If God be for us, who can be against us, so as to prevail? We reproach our Leader if we follow him trembling. Moses prayed, that, if it were God's will, he might go before Israel, over Jordan into Canaan. We should never allow any desires in our hearts, which we cannot in faith offer up to God by prayer. God's answer to this prayer had a mixture of mercy and judgment. God sees it good to deny many things we desire. He may accept our prayers, yet not grant us the very things we pray for. It God does not by his providence give us what we desire, yet if by his grace he makes us content without, it comes to much the same. Let it suffice thee to have God for thy Father, and heaven for thy portion, though thou hast not every thing thou wouldst have in the world. God promised Moses a sight of Canaan from the top of Pisgah. Though he should not have the possession of it, he should have the prospect of it. Even great believers, in this present state, see heaven but at a distance. God provided him a successor. It is a comfort to the friends of the church of Christ, to see God's work likely to be carried on by others, when they are silent in the dust. And if we have the earnest and prospect of heaven, let these suffice us; let us submit to the Lord's will, and speak no more to Him of matters which he sees good to refuse us.

Romans 9

14 What shall we say then? There is no injustice with God, is there? May it never be! 15 For He says to Moses, "I WILL HAVE MERCY ON WHOM I HAVE MERCY, AND I WILL HAVE COMPASSION ON WHOM I HAVE COMPASSION." 16 So then it does not depend on the man who wills or the man who runs, but on God who has mercy. 17 For the Scripture says to Pharaoh, "FOR THIS VERY PURPOSE I RAISED YOU UP, TO DEMONSTRATE MY POWER IN YOU, AND THAT MY NAME MIGHT BE PROCLAIMED THROUGHOUT THE WHOLE EARTH." 18 So then He has mercy on whom He desires, and He hardens whom He desires.

19 You will say to me then, "Why does He still find fault? For who resists His will?" 20 On the contrary, who are you, O man, who answers back to God? The thing molded will not say to the molder, "Why did you make me like this," will it? 21 Or does not the potter have a right over the clay, to make from the same lump one vessel for honorable use and another for common use?

1 Lord, hear my prayer, listen to my cry for mercy; in your faithfulness and righteousness come to my relief. 2 Do not bring your servant into judgment, for no one living is righteous before you. 3 The enemy pursues me, he crushes me to the ground; he makes me dwell in the darkness like those long dead. 4 So my spirit grows faint within me; my heart within me is dismayed. 5 I remember the days of long ago; I meditate on all your works and consider what your hands have done. 6 I spread out my hands to you; I thirst for you like a parched land. 7 Answer me quickly, Lord; my spirit fails. Do not hide your face from me or I will be like those who go down to the pit. 8 Let the morning bring me word of your unfailing love, for I have put my trust in you. Show me the way I should go, for to you I entrust my life. 9 Rescue me from my enemies, Lord, for I hide myself in you. 10 Teach me to do your will, for you are my God; may your good Spirit lead me on level ground. 11 For your name's sake, Lord, preserve my life; in your righteousness, bring me out of trouble. 12 In your unfailing love, silence my enemies; destroy all my foes, for I am your servant.
