FAMILY CHRONICLE

THE WORLD IS RUN BY "THE COUNSEL OF THE UNGODLY". If most of the so-called science that is the foundation modern secular society is under the control of ungodly persons, why would God's people expect righteous outcomes?

1 John 2:15 "Love not the world, neither the things that are in the world. If any man love the world, the love of the Father is not in him."

The Bible clearly teaches that the secular (ungodly) world operates by lusts and pride. The Christian is COMMANDED not to "love" the world.

Godliness & Worldliness . . .

are and will forever be in conflict.

Matthew 5:13 ""You are the salt of the earth; but if the salt loses its flavor, how shall it be seasoned? It is then good for nothing but to be thrown out and trampled underfoot by men."

Is the Christian task to point to the only way of "redemption" & restoration of the godly influences of "righteous", born-again individuals lighting the world and salting the earth?

Isaiah 58

"they that shall be of thee shall build the old waste places: thou shalt raise up the foundations of many generations; and thou shalt be called, The repairer of the breach, The restorer of paths to dwell in."

Identity Politics?

SELF IMAGE

"Gender identity is the personal sense of one's own gender. Gender identity can correlate with a person's assigned sex or can differ from it. In most individuals, the various biological determinants of sex are congruent, and consistent with the individual's gender identity." - Wikipedia

Is it possible to discover an identity bolstered with unassailable confidence, strengthened for the challenges of life?

HUMAN IMAGINATION (culture wars)

"though we walk in the flesh, we do not war after the flesh: 4(For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal, but mighty through God to the pulling down of strong holds;) 5Casting down imaginations, and every high thing that exalteth itself against the knowledge of God, and bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ; 6And having in a readiness to revenge all disobedience, when your obedience is fulfilled."

Idolatry & Unbelief

are at the center of any preoccupation with identity and the need to classify humans and human behavior beyond biblical teaching [ Galatians 3:28 ]

God has established identity, period. [ Romans 3:23 ] To focus on self image, which is at the heart of the identity debate, could be a move into the idolizing of 'the self' - "other gods". Is this idolatry?

Modern identity issues seem to arise from an ungodly, secular understanding that is alien to biblical teaching and is prejudicial, punitive and prone to divisiveness.

QUOTE: Beyond what human beings know about you, God has the best knowledge of you – He knows you in and out. [ Psalm 139:23-24 ]

He knows who you are and even your greatest need. "For His eyes are on the ways of man, and He sees all his steps" (Job 34:21).

The New Living Translation says, "For God carefully watches the way people live; he sees everything they do" - T. O. BANSO

Do Mental Health "experts" replace God?

TO DIAGNOSE [ 1 Timothy 6:20 ]

TO DEFINE (manage predict control)

THE SUPERNATURAL

Jesus Heals a Boy with an Evil Spirit

(Matthew 17:14-21; Luke 9:37-42; Luke 17:5-10)

"Having a form of godliness,

but denying the power thereof:

from such turn away."

"these signs shall follow them that believe; In my name shall they cast out devils; they shall speak with new tongues; They shall take up serpents; and if they drink any deadly thing, it shall not hurt them; they shall lay hands on the sick, and they shall recover."

the LORD said, Behold, the people is one, and they have all one language; and this they begin to do: and now nothing will be restrained from them, which they have imagined to do. - [ Genesis 11:6 ]

ETHIOPIANS TODAY

Does the average modern professional churchgoer,

like Phillip, feel any urge to leave church and share anything with the eunuchs he or she will meet (in the desert, on the internet or at the office) during the Monday through Friday work week?

"Philip opened his mouth, and began at the same scripture, and preached unto him Jesus" - ACTS

Trust - the issue IMHO - is trust.

PROBLEM: We have deteriorated in the public sphere to a place where public servants have lost our trust

SOLUTION:

"Blessed is the man that trusteth in the LORD, and whose hope the LORD is." (Jeremiah 17:7).

"Thus saith the LORD; Cursed be the man that trusteth in man, and maketh flesh his arm, and whose heart departeth from the LORD." (Jeremiah 17:5).

"They that wait upon the LORD shall renew their strength; they shall mount up wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; and they shall walk, and not faint." – Isaiah 40:31, KJV

"They that know thy name will put their trust in thee: For thou, LORD, hast not forsaken them that seek thee." – Psalm 9:10, KJV

"It is better to trust in the LORD Than to put confidence in man." – Psalm 118:8, KJV

"Put not your trust in princes, nor in the son of man, In whom there is no help." – Psalm 146:3, KJV

Conclusion:

Trust begins by choosing to look to the Lord rather than leaning on ourselves. We have the beautiful holy word to continually remind us of God's love and promises for us.

God knows what He is doing for all of our lives. He has chosen you for a purpose and nothing makes Him happier than to see His children trusting and living by His word to fulfill those promises.

New Living Translation

Dear children, keep away from anything that might take God's place in your hearts.

Job 11:7
Can you fathom the deep things of God or discover the limits of the Almighty?

"We look not at the things which are seen, but at the things which are not seen:
2 Corinthians 4

Romans 11:33
O, the depth of the riches of the wisdom and knowledge of God! How unsearchable are His judgments, and untraceable His ways!

I am the LORD, and there is none else, there is no God beside me: I girded thee, though thou hast not known me:
6That they may know from the rising of the sun, and from the west, that there is none beside me. I amthe LORD, and there is none else.
7I form the light, and create darkness: I make peace, and create evil: I the LORD do all these things. - Isaiah 45

I blessed the most High, and I praised and honoured him that liveth for ever, whose dominion is an everlasting dominion, and his kingdom is from generation to generation:
35And all the inhabitants of the earth are reputed as nothing: and he doeth according to his will in the army of heaven, and among the inhabitants of the earth: and none can stay his hand, or say unto him, What doest thou? - Daniel 4

Jesus answering said unto them, Suppose ye that these Galilaeans were sinners above all the Galilaeans, because they suffered such things? 3I tell you, Nay: but, except ye repent, ye shall all likewise perish. 4Or those eighteen, upon whom the tower in Siloam fell, and slew them, think ye that they were sinners above all men that dwelt in Jerusalem? - Luke 13

I say unto you, That ye resist not evil: but whosoever shall smite thee on thy right cheek, turn to him the other also. [40] And if any man will sue thee at the law, and take away thy coat, let him have thy cloke also. - Matthew 5

We are blessed !!!

Let us be thankful

As we remember those

less fortunate . . .

During the Christmas season, people often focus on the joy and cheer of the holidays.

However, it is important to remember those in our communities who are not as fortunate.

Poverty does not take a break for Christmas, headlines illustrate the harsh reality of poverty during this special time of year.

Recent news stories have reported on how poverty continues to affect more and more people around the world.

NEW YORK/PORT-AU-PRINCE, DECEMBER 22, 2022—

The international medical humanitarian organization Doctors Without Borders/Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF) has begun supporting a cholera vaccination campaign in Haiti as a resurgence of the disease has affected more than 15,000 people and killed approximately 300 since the end of September.

The campaign is being led and managed by Haiti's Ministry of Public Health and Population (MSPP).

+++++++

For people migrating through Central America to the United States, the only certainty is suffering. From crossing treacherous rivers and hiding from predatory gangs in the jungles of the Darién Gap to immigration fines in Honduras and robbery and extortion in Guatemala, those who flee their countries in search of a better life often face extreme danger and violence.

When saw we thee a stranger, and took thee in? or naked, and clothed thee?

Or when saw we thee sick, or in prison, and came unto thee?

And the King shall answer and say unto them, Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as ye have done it unto one of the least of these my brethren, ye have done it unto me.

In despair I shook my head . . .
