The Book Of Remembrance

Image
After all the negativity that's been going on in the world these past few months... or should I say years, we need to remember the joy that God brings...  DID YOU KNOW??? ...  God Has Not Overlooked Those Who Love Him! Have you ever stopped to think about the fact that God hears us when we talk about Him?  Not just when we pray, not just when we are gathered together worshipping Him, but when we are simply talking to one another about Him?  Well, there is a passage in Malachi that I find absolutely wonderful, and I think we need to spend some time with it because there is something here that should bring a great deal of joy to those who love YHWH. Let's look at Malachi 3:16. אָז נִדְבְּרוּ יִרְאֵי יְהוָה אִישׁ אֶל־רֵעֵהוּ וַיַּקְשֵׁב יְהוָה וַיִּשְׁמָע וַיִּכָּתֵב סֵפֶר זִכָּרוֹן לְפָנָיו לְיִרְאֵי יְהוָה וּלְחֹשְׁבֵי שְׁמוֹ׃ ’ Az nidberu yir’ei YHWH ish el-re’ehu, vayyaqshev YHWH vayishma, vayyikkatev sefer zikaron lefanav, leyir’ei YHWH uleḥoshvei shemo.

When Power Changes Hands: What They Don't Know

  Note : Language Words go like this: Language: hebrew, aramaic or greek, - (transliteration in the spoken language), translated to english, and the meaning. An election can change who holds power in a government, but it does not change who rules over the earth. People win elections, lose elections, gain positions, and leave office. Political parties rise and fall. But God has not changed, and no person in government is above Him. Now that Democrats have gained control of both the House and the Senate in America, many people are wondering what will happen next. Will they investigate President Trump? Will they try to impeach him? Will they block his plans? Will the country become even more divided? These are reasonable questions. There may be political battles ahead, but before we look at what could happen, we need to understand what God says about rulers, the desire for power, jealousy, and the way people treat one another. There is something else people absolutely need to re...

Blind to the Blessing

The Danger of Taking People for Granted There is something we need to stop and seriously think about. How often do we become so accustomed to having someone in our lives that we forget to appreciate what that person means to us? Someone is always there when we need a helping hand, someone listens when we need to talk, someone offers encouragement when life becomes difficult, and someone patiently puts up with us even when we aren't at our best. We become so accustomed to these things that we may eventually stop recognizing them as acts of kindness. Instead, we begin to expect them. What was once appreciated becomes an ordinary part of our day, and before long, we may even become irritated when that person cannot do what we have come to expect. But what happened? Did that person's kindness become less valuable? Did their time suddenly become less important? No. What changed was our recognition of the blessing. We became so accustomed to receiving that we forgot the importa...

When Ideology Takes The Pulpit

Whose Word Are We Going to Believe? There comes a time when every child of God must decide whose word will govern his and her thinking: the Word of God or the words of men. Political parties change, social movements rise and fall, and popular opinions shift with the times. But God's Word does not change to accommodate the culture . Our responsibility is not to make Scripture agree with the world; it is to examine everything the world teaches in the light of Scripture. God Created People; Men Created Categories. Genesis 1:26–27 tells us that God created mankind in His image. Human worth, therefore, does not come from skin color, nationality, ancestry, political affiliation, wealth, or social standing. It comes from the fact that human beings are God's creation. Acts 10:34–35 records Peter's recognition that God is no respecter of persons, and Romans 2:11 states plainly that there is no respect of persons with God. The Greek word in Acts 10:34 is prosōpolēptēs , meanin...
