Psalm 119:1 Blessed are those whose lives have integrity, those who follow the teachings of the LORD. 2 Blessed are those who obey his written instructions. They wholeheartedly search for him. 3 They do nothing wrong. They follow his directions. 4 You have commanded that your guiding principles be carefully followed. 5 I pray that my ways may become firmly established so that I can obey your laws. 6 Then I will never feel ashamed when I study all your commandments. 7 I will give thanks to you as I learn your regulations, which are based on your righteousness. 8 I will obey your laws. Never abandon me. Just as listening does not guarantee hearing so looking does not guarantee seeing. there is a section of the word that says Hear and your soul shall live and Jesus said we do not just live by food but by words that come from God. I have heard a lot of talk about world view I am chastised for airing dirty laundry.... talking about things of which I should be ashamed. I find myself trafficking in unusual ideas a peddler of strange thought the employ of metaphor and parable and parody have been the way of communicators seeing is beleiving is the common way of the world unless you beleive you cannot see is what Jesus said The bible says fools despise instruction... and we know that instuction may come through any channel..in the movie "SWING VOTE"..for example, the little girl Molly seemed to be instructing her father constantly to behave himself decently. A family makes a decision to use church time for other purposes on a regular basis. The little children immediately pick up on the inconsistency, and start to suggest all kinds of creative ways to "solve the problem". Indeed we will find God instructing us through a variety of circumstance. The letter kills, and can destroy relationships. Jesus made what seems to be a startlimg statement in Matthew 10:34 34 Think not that I am come to send peace on earth: I came not to send peace, but a sword. 35 For I am come to set a man at variance against his father, and the daughter against her mother, and the daughter in law against her mother in law. 36 And a man's foes shall be they of his own household. It is the spirit that teaches, that informs and transforms and gives life How dare you think that you can tell me what to do?....we hear it all the time. Who said that God invented marriage? Down with marriage !!! up with civil unions...the state is God !!! That's what we hear a lot in our brave new world ONE NATION UNDER MAN !!! the spirit of antichrist is what the bible calls it remember NIMROD ! |
