I have a hard time understanding why anyone would want to be rude towards people who are having a hard time. But such people exist. Man needs to learn that one will reap what is sown. Proverbs 26.27. If you can't do anything to help people who are down and out, above all, don't make fun of them or ridicule them. It is best to say nothing at all.

‘Touch not, taste not, handle not.’ Colossian 2.20-22.
“Let every wearing the name of Christ depart from evil.” 2 Timothy 2.19-22. These are words to live by and that is what members of the Lord’s church need to do in these times. Romans 12.1-2. There is a lot of talk about transgender rights. Abortion on demand. Homosexual marriage. Marijuana smoking. Drinking liquor. Unmarried people living together as married people. etc It doesn’t matter if all this is legal according to the law of the land. A member of the church doesn’t have to partake of any of it nor believe in it. Just say no and remain with what is authorized by the word of the Lord. Acts 5.29. Acts 4.19 In Acts 19:17-20, we read of people being taught that belief in the stars, fortune tellers
and other mystic arts is wrong. Those things are wrong because they take man away from faith in the Creator and causes men to have faith in something else. Heb 11:6 The irony is, stars have no intelligence and cannot make good things happen for people, they are simply heavenly objects which God created to give light upon the earth. Gen 1:14-18. In verse 19, we read that the people burnt their books to assure that those magical deeds would not be practiced again A person is going to have to acknowledge the Lord sooner or later; and it is fact the sooner, the better.

For non-believers, they will face the biggest shock of realization. That they were wrong to deny the existence of the Supreme One who dwells beyond men. 1Timothy 6.16. For those who did believe, but did nothing to get ready, they will have all eternity to regret their decision. Luke 12.35-48. Luke 13.24-28. Mark 13.32-37. 2 Thessalonians 1.6-10. Revelations 21.6-8 By reading with us today, you can get ready.

A group of people decided they didn’t want to follow Jesus anymore, so they left.
Jesus asked His remaining followers; “will you also go away?” Peter said, “Lord to whom shall we go? You have the words of eternal life.” John 6.64-69. Peter knew the people who quit had made a huge mistake. Hebrews 10. 38-39. They may have thought that they were unloading a burden; but they picked one up. 2 Peter 3.20-22. Because without Christ, you can't have real success in life so the faithful feel great because of devotion to the word of God. They don't worry or try to solve things. Hebrews 13.5-6. They use prayer to communicate with God and allow Him to navigate life's ups and downs. John 14.1.

But when bad things do happen, God has assured His followers that everything works toward their best interests. Romans 8.28. Such is the comfort of the faithful and you can be too. Matthew 11.28-30. The home is the source of many problems in America. The home is a problem because we have immature males and females, having babies and they have no education, job, or don't even know how to do the laundry without help. As you look throughout cities you see these people having babies with many of the fathers absent from the scene.
A family is supposed to be started because two married people want to have children and they train the children in the way of the Lord. Eph 6.1-4. Col 3.20. Pro 2.1-22. Pro 10.1 This is not being done and that is why the problems with youngsters continue. Going forward, this is what must happen. #1, Get married. #2 Have children. #3 Don’t forsake, nor fail to train or discipline the children. # 4, Take care of all their needs. If parents do so, the children wouldn’t go to school hungry nor would they act up, because the parents would be involved in every aspect of that child's life. We must get back to that. In this closing. Immature unmarried people; quit having babies! Married people; know the role the Lord expects from you. He will punish you if you don’t live up to it. Genesis 42.22. The greatest thing we can do is study the bible which is the word of Almighty God.
Just think about it; we learn the mind of the Creator and what He wants us to do to improve our lives. And it doesn’t end there; we also learn how we can go to heaven and spend eternality in His presence. This is great news, and no one should deprive themselves of the opportunity. We also are warned about the danger of a burning Hell and the temptations which drown men in damnation. I want to encourage you to read the New Testament. You can start with the gospel of Matthew; where you will learn about Jesus coming to earth and dying on the cross for the sins of men. Do try it and contact us, let us know what you learn or if you have questions. Let all who hear me, start reading. I cannot figure out what type of person the prophet Jonah was. When he decided to obey
God and preach that Nineveh will be destroyed in 40 days; the people changed their ways after listening to him. The king gave instructions for everybody to pray with no eating or drinking by man or beast. Everyone complied and there was great mourning throughout the land. When God saw that the people repented; He decided not to destroy the city of Nineveh. But Jonah wanted to see the city go up in flames and he got very angry when the people repented. Yes, Jonah got angry; he wanted to see the people die. What kind of guy was that? A preacher should be glad to get a positive response to his teaching. But Jonah didn’t. Jonah chapters 3 and 4. The prophet Elisha was travelling to the city of Bethel and he was confronted by young
toughs who begin making fun of him saying, “Go up, you baldhead! Go up, you baldhead!” He stopped and looked at them and pronounced a curse in the name of the Lord. At that moment, two female bears came out of the woods and mauled forty-two of them. The prophet continued his trip to Mount Carmel, and from there he returned to Samaria. 2 Kings 2:23-25 The lesson from this is to respect your elders. To young people out there, don't get involved in gangs. The only thing that gangs do is caused severe consequences by doing wrong. Proverbs 1.10-18. Proverbs 24.8. Young people, stay home, do your homework, honor your parents, honor the older people and you will live long on the earth. Leviticus 19.32. 1 Timothy 5.1-3. Ephesians 6.1-3 During tax season it becomes very easy for those who prepare tax returns to be saturated
with lots of personal information from clients. Temptation to commit ID fraud can arise if those who handle the returns aren’t ethical. As with bank tellers to be around money and not be tempted to take some of it, will require devout resolve. The bible teaches, not to steal, the bible teaches not to covet, the bible teaches that God sees everything. Eph 4.28. Heb 13.5. Heb 4.13. And since that is the truth of the matter, men must refuse to steal someone identify. With all the trouble this world has, ethical people must make it better by reducing identify theft. Can we get a witness on this? |
