The Voices.

                                                                         The Voices.     The Voices are still speaking today to “Show Us ‘Their’ Way”!   Whether you turn to the right or to the left, your ears will hear a voice behind you, saying, “This Is ‘The Way’; Walk In It”. (Isaiah 30:21)   Which Voice will you hear and obey? The Voices of the Word and of the World are always speaking to us.   Concerning our Daily Nugget, the people of Israel were hearing and obeying the wrong voice.  A voice told them to go to Egypt for “Help”.  God’s people choose not to go to God for help, they choose to go to Egypt for help.  They loaded their camels and donkeys with many treasures, to pay for the Egyptians help.  This made God jealous.   No on...

The "New" Man and Woman.

                                                    The “New” Man and Woman.   Life and or Death is the “Fruit” of our Thinking Process.   But sanctify (revere) the Lord God in your heart (mind): and be ready always to give answers to every man that asketh you a reason of the “hope” that is in you with meekness and fear: having a good conscience; that, whereas they speak evil of you, as of evildoers, they may be ashamed that falsely accuse your good conscience in Christ.  (1 Peter 3:15-16).   But in your heart/mind sanctify (revere) Christ as Lord.   Anything that is born “Grows”! Right Thinking is the “Key” to Right Living. Our Living has no choice but to “Follow our Thinking”. It’s Not About being told what to do, it's about “Becoming” who we are.    Every morning remind yourself that you are a New Creature and ask Go...

Tolerate.

                                                                           Tolerate.   Biblical Tolerance – Worldly Tolerance.   Be “tolerant” with one another and forgive one another “whenever” any of you has a complaint against someone else.  You must forgive one another just as the Lord has forgiven you.  And to all these qualities add love, which builds all things together in perfect unity.  (Colossians 3:13-14) Therefore, put away from among yourselves that wicked person.(1 Corinthians 5:13)   Non-toleration or Judging.  To refuse to tolerate a thing is not to judge that thing.  To Tolerate is not to say that everything is “Okay” and “Acceptable”. We Tolerate what Jesus Tolerated, we do not Tolerate what Jesus does not tolerate.   Jesus...

What Are You "Thinking" About?

                                               What Are You “Thinking” About?   Eternity or The Right Now?  Before you die, or after you die?   A wise person “thinks” about death, but a fool “thinks” only about having a good time.  (Ecclesiastes 7:4)    Rather we are Living for Christ or for Self, we are following our Thinking.   Our Daily Nugget is Solomon, the wisest man to have ever lived, telling us that if we “think” about death, “we are wise”; and that if we “think” about having a good time we are fools.  The world’s way work just the opposite.    Wise people do wise things, they and their households eat the fruit that comes from “wise choices”. Foolish people do foolish things, they and their households eat the fruit that comes from “foolish choices”.   Watch out for the “demons of pride and p...

Sectarianism Is Division and Sin.

                                             Sectarianism Is Division and Sin.   It is critical for the Salvation of a dark world that “God’s People be One”!   Now I plead with you, brethren, by the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that you “all speak the same thing”, and that “there be no divisions among you”, but that you be “perfectly joined together” in the “same mind” and in the “same judgement”.   (1 Corinthians 1:10).   Do You Know What You Are?    Sectarianism – Excessive attachment to a particular sect or party, especially in                Religion.   Are You a Christian; if you are the answer should be “Yes”, “.”. Oftentimes, in my conversations with people I newly meet, I will ask them, “Are You a Christian”?  Too often, the answer is, I’m B...

Faith Partner.

                                                                 Faith Partner.   Everybody Needs Somebody – Two Bodies “Together” Are Better!   Two are better than one, because they have a good return for their labor:  If either of them falls down, one can help the other up.  But pity anyone who falls and has no one to help them up.  Also, if two lie down together, they will keep warm.  But how can one keep warm alone?  Though one may be overpowered, two can defend themselves.  A cord of three strands is not quickly broken.  (Ecclesiastes 4:19-12)   The Amen to Your Vision.  Jesus Had Faith Partners – Faith Partners are our Help.  I am a Faith partner to someone and someone else is a Faith partner to me.   Our Daily Nugget...

The Matrix of Life.

                                                               The Matrix of Life.   Jesus said, if you are not “Working for Me”, you’re “Working against Me”.   And we know that God causes “everything” to “work together for the good” of those who “Love God” and are called according to His Purpose for them.  (Romans 8:28).   To Love God is to Obey God. Jesus said, if you Love Me, you’ll Obey Me. All the Things we do, say, or think, affects other things. All things work together “For the Bad of those Who Disobey God”.    Matrix – The systems and structures in society that keep us bound to the “traditional      ways” of living and working.  Beware of religions and traditions; they are     different all over the world.  The Word is the...
