Weekly Words of Instruction

You say that you don't believe in God or the Bible as His word. Fair enough. However, what evidence did you obtain in order to lead you to the position you now hold? Secondly, will your evidence hold up against examination from those willing to refute the position you believe?

Many people will support their friends or family even if they know they are wrong. By doing so, they become partakers in the evil actions committed by those offenders. This is a bad move and no one should support wrong, whether done by friend or foe. If your friend is wrong, tell him or her and never support them in wrong doing (1 Timothy 5:22).

"What God has joined together, let not man put asunder," Matthew 19:6. The Almighty has selected one male and one female for marriage, which is to last till death. We are living in times when liberal thinking people are attempting to put asunder what God has joined together. All religious leaders, better heed God's warning! (Isaiah 9:16, Jeremiah 23:22, Isa. 5:20).

A special day for parents isn't just one day out of a year—every day in the life of your father and mother is "Mother's and Father's Day," (Proverbs 15:20). All should be appreciative of parents who give birth to, or adopted one into a responsible household (2 Timothy 3:2, Colossians 3:20, Proverbs 4:1–27, Prov. 3:22). And sure, not every house is an acceptable place, because some parents are lousy and such conduct is inexcusable (1 Samuel 3:12–14). Such persons need to repent! (Luke 13:3). But, being a parent means you are ready, willing, and able to provide and train a youngster to go in the right direction (Prov. 22:6, 1 Tim. 3:4–5, 1 Tim. 5:8).
​
So everyday we celebrate and thank God, for responsible men and women who understand the importance of raising children in order to contribute to the betterment of mankind (Prov. 17:21).
Hope to hear from you or see you at the services.

A martyr, as revealed by the word of God, is one who is persecuted for what he believes and is finally killed by his oppressors because he refuses to denounce what he believes. A martyr dies himself and doesn't plan or seek to take others with him, whether they be his oppressors or just innocent people. Let me repeat just in case someone didn't quite understand, a martyr is someone who is suffering based on what he has believed and is finally killed because of that belief, and he dies alone, not plotting the death of others. A martyr is a righteous person in good favor with God and isn't a fanatic or homicidal. You won't see him walking into a crowded mall and murdering shoppers when his back pack explodes (Revelation 2:10, Mark 8:35–36, Acts 6:8–15, Acts 7:1–60, Acts 21:10–14, Matthew 24:8–9, Hebrews 11:36–40, 2 Timothy 4:6–8).
