If you want more miracles. Love, Fasting, effectual fervent prayer, faith in action and a desire of spiritual gifts and confessing and reading the word. Full of faith and the Spirit like Stephen. Still, it is as the Holy Spirit wills, and these things mixed with faith will sure help. One of my teachers talked about his moving into this area and he thought anyone could if they were willing to get serious with God about it. It took him months of prayer but there was a noticeable difference in His ministry. Jesus' Himself fasted 40 days, was tempted, then performed miracles. Those are the basics.

I do not consider myself to be either a Republican or Democrat. In general, I don’t trust politicians.

But I do know about the horrors that go on in abortion clinics. And I do know that is not OK with the Lord to kill preborn babies.

Please pray that the upcoming election results do not lead to an increase in the deaths of unborn children.

Pedophilia is nowhere near the ballpark in terms of violating the rights of others. Homosexuals engage in a relationship with another consenting adult. A pedophile doesn't even belong in the same sentence as a homosexual other than your personal judgment that both are perverted.

Peace in Christ.

We must avoid those who do not serve our Lord Jesus Christ…who cause divisions and teach things contrary to the gospel….contrary to the truth of the gospel of which they do not understand.

We must not attend their “churches”…the denominations (divisions) of man-based, “organized” (by their church scribes’ handwritings) churches. These are those who separate themselves and do not have the Spirit.

Rom 16:17-18 KJV
(17) Now I beseech you, brethren, mark them which cause divisions and offences contrary to the doctrine which ye have learned; and avoid them.

Those who cause divisions are charismatic speakers….speaking beautiful speeches and good words. But their words are devoid of the truth of the gospel as it is being hid from their understanding because they only serve for their own belly.

The “god of this age”….their belly that they serve for filling…has blinded their minds to the truth of the gospel. They preach with no knowledge of it….and mortally perish…and those who they “preach” to also perish in their mortal bodies to the grave without knowledge.

(18) For they that are such serve not our Lord Jesus Christ, but their own belly; and by good words and fair speeches deceive the hearts of the simple.

They…. whose god they are serving is their belly…. are enemies of the cross of Christ.

They are not preaching that by keeping His “daily” sacrifice (dying to the sin) in our mortal bodies shall keep our mortal bodies alive and standing here in this earth to the very end of this age. They are denying the power of it to keep us mortally alive throughout the remainder of this age as they are not preaching it. They are not preaching the truth of the gospel....the "mystery of the gospel" which is being hid from them.

We are to be “followers together” of Paul who did work with his own hands to support his own earthly necessities. Paul did not preach for a paycheck….nor did the other original apostles as they worked “day and night” for their own necessities. Paul was a tentmaker. Jesus was a carpenter....who worked with His own hands. We are to “follow them” in their example of working with our own hands to support our own earthly necessities.

We are to mark them which walk according to the commandment of the apostles of the Lord and Savior and avoid those who do not.

Those who do not walk according to their commandment (to work with our hands and eat our own bread) do not have the understanding of the gospel as a result.

Php 3:17-19 KJV
(17) Brethren, be followers together of me, and mark them which walk so as ye have us for an ensample.
(18) (For many walk, of whom I have told you often, and now tell you even weeping, that they are the enemies of the cross of Christ:

Their “end is destruction”….destruction of their mortal bodies…when they only “serve” for their own belly while “preaching”. They are minding earthly things: preaching to get their earthly needs met.

(19) Whose end is destruction, whose God is their belly, and whose glory is in their shame, who mind earthly things.)

We must renounce the hidden things of dishonesty, not walking in craftiness, nor handling the Word of God deceitfully….for our own unjust gain. We must cease “preaching” for our earthly necessities….the serving for our belly...in order to serve the Lord Jesus Christ.

How do we "commend ourselves to every man's conscience in the sight of God"? By working with our own hands to support our own necessities supports the "weak" consciences of the outside world as they shall see that we do not take advantage of the church of God by preaching to it for our own unjust gain.

2Co 4:2-5 KJV
(2) But have renounced the hidden things of dishonesty, not walking in craftiness, nor handling the word of God deceitfully; but by manifestation of the truth commending ourselves to every man's conscience in the sight of God.

The gospel is being hid from those who are PERISHING….mortally perishing away to the grave without receiving an age-lasting life. “lost” = perishing.

(3) But if our gospel be hid, it is hid to them that are lost (PERISHING):

The truth of the gospel ….the “glorious gospel of Christ”…is being hid from their minds because they are only preaching for a paycheck. They are hirelings only.

We must be "servants" for Jesus' sake by working with our hands to support ourselves.

(4) In whom the god of this world hath blinded the minds of them which believe not, lest the light of the glorious gospel of Christ, who is the image of God, should shine unto them.
(5) For we preach not ourselves, but Christ Jesus the Lord; and ourselves your servants for Jesus' sake.

We must renounce these deceitful things.

Our Lord calls such …as shown in the calling of James and John…who were sons of “Zebedee” (meaning “gifts”). We must cease from preaching for “gifts” and follow after Him. We must cease “mending our nets” and leave the preaching for gifts….leaving that “ship” behind with the other “hired servants” who will continue to preach for their own necessities....casting their nets to feed themselves.

Mar 1:19-20 KJV
(19) And when he had gone a little further thence, he saw James the son of Zebedee, and John his brother, who also were in the ship mending their nets.
(20) And straightway he called them: and they left their father Zebedee in the ship with the hired servants, and went after him.

We must forsake our “nets”…preaching for a paycheck…preaching in order to feed ourselves. We must renounce/forsake these things so that we may truly preach the gospel with understanding….making us “fishers of men”.

Mar 1:17-18 KJV
(17) And Jesus said unto them, Come ye after me, and I will make you to become fishers of men.
(18) And straightway they forsook their nets, and followed him.

Was it okay to covet someone's house not belonging to your neighbor?

Let's see the context. Ex 20:


Three universal commandments.


Was it okay to give false testimony against someone who lived in a different neighborhood?

No.

Strong's Hebrew: 7453. רֵ֫עַ (rea or rea) — 186 Occurrences

H7453-neighbor was polysemantic. BDB:

1. friend, intimate 2 in weaker sense, fellow, fellow-citizen, even another person,, with whom one stands in reciprocal relations 3 in reciprocal phrase אִישׁ ֗֗֗ רֵעֵהו Genesis 11:3 they said one to another

H7453 was a frequent word that could mean "fellow human being".


From the context, I understand the word "neighbor" in the broad sense.

Good News Translation:


According to Ex 20:17, was it okay to covet someone's house not belonging to your neighbor?

No, you shall not covet the house that belongs to another fellow human being.

Click to expand...

I would say that "neighbour" is far wider in application in the bible than the way use the word (people who live next door, or in the same area as us). The dictionary I looked at for the Hebrew word translated "neighbour" says:

"1) friend, companion, fellow, another person
1a) friend, intimate
1b) fellow, fellow-citizen, another person (weaker sense)
1c) other, another (reciprocal phrase)"

I certainly don't believe that the commandment means that God wouldn't mind if we were to covet the house of somebody in a far-off country.

The Knights of Columbus used a paper cover to temporarily cloak artwork created by Father Marko Rupnik at the St. John Paul II National Shrine in Washington, D.C., on Tuesday, July 23, 2024. | Credit: Christina Herrera/EWTN News

The Knights of Columbus used a paper cover to temporarily cloak artwork created by Father Marko Rupnik at the St. John Paul II National Shrine in Washington, D.C., pending the outcome of a Vatican investigation into sexual abuse allegationsagainst the Slovenian artist and priest.

Rupnik’s mosaics line the walls of the Luminous Mysteries Chapel, which contains a first-class relic of St. John Paul II’s blood at the front of the altar, and the larger Redemptor Hominis Chapel, both of which sit inside the shrine near the entrance. The shrine is sponsored and managed by the Knights of Columbus, a Catholic fraternal organization.

The paper cover will eventually be replaced with a fabric canvas while the Vatican continues to investigate allegations that Rupnik spiritually, psychologically, and sexually abused between 20 and 40 adult women, including religious sisters.

Matthew 22:30 - Jesus states angels have nothing to do with marriage.
Perhaps the main purpose of creatures being made male and female is reproduction (Genesis 1:28, 7:3 etc).
Angels do not need to reproduce, so God has not made them male and female. We still need to recognise that these offspring of God are persons, (even if some are described as flaming fire), which is why the Spirit presents them in Scripture as a particular gender, choosing the masculine form the gender-less God is also represented.

Ya know, considering Matthew 22:30, I sometimes wonder if the fact that there will be no marriage between humans, then there will be no reproduction, therefore no more need for sex, therefore no sex drive? I gotta admit, I kinda hope so because wouldn't it be so nice, as a male, to never be tempted to lust for a woman again (and vice versa) - thus being free to admire each other's beauty without fear?

She walked along a pathway
And stumbled over stones.
The pathway was not clear for her,
And so she oft did roam.

Her trinkets were her treasure,
But not to others give.
She selfishly held on to those
And not for Christ did live.

He in his pride was selfish,
Held on to all his sins.
Addiction was his pride and joy,
But not to Christ souls win.

His pleasure, all that mattered,
Supplied his every need.
He not concerned for those he hurt,
His belly he did feed.

They wandered life together,
Thought only of themselves,
Although they claimed belief in Christ,
They lived their lives for self.

They bought into deception,
And followed all the lies
That told them they could live in sin,
Although truth it belies.

Now they are an example
Of how we’re not to live.
For we should live for Jesus Christ,
Our lives now to Him give.

We die to selfish pleasures,
Obey our Lord’s commands.
We follow where our Savior leads
And share our helping hands.

1 Corinthians 10:1-5 ESV


Even though the Israelites were God’s people by natural birth, as physical descendants of Abraham and Sarah, they didn’t all have faith, i.e. they didn’t all obey the Lord. But many of them continued to follow after the passions of the flesh, instead, in rebellion and in disobedience to the Lord. And so God was not pleased with them, and so many of them were overthrown in the wilderness, and thus they did not enter into God’s eternal rest.

Today this would be similar to the gatherings of the church. Not all who are gathering together as “the church” are people of genuine faith in Jesus Christ. Even though they participate with the church (or with what is falsely called church) in their gatherings, and even though they may or may not be taking in the truth of God’s Holy Word on a regular basis, and even though they may or may not be professing faith in Jesus, they don’t really follow him. They are also living in rebellion and disobedience to the Lord Jesus.

And if we, as professing Christians, continue to walk in sin, in sinful rebellion against our Lord, in deliberate and habitual sin, as did most of the Israelites at that time, we will be overthrown, as well. We will not enter into God’s eternal rest, but we will die in our sins. And we will face the wrath of God, too, because we refused to submit to Christ as Lord and to forsake our sinful practices and to walk in obedience to his commands, in his power.

[Matt 7:21-23; Lu 9:23-26; John 10:27-30; Acts 26:18; Rom 2:6-8; Rom 6:1-23; Rom 8:1-14; Rom 12:1-2; 1 Co 6:9-10,19-20; 1 Co 10:1-22; 2 Co 5:10,15,21; Gal 5:16-24; Gal 6:7-8; Eph 2:8-10; Eph 4:17-32; Eph 5:3-6; Col 1:21-23; Col 3:1-17; Titus 2:11-14; 1 Jn 1:5-10; 1 Jn 2:3-6,24-25; 1 Jn 3:4-10; 1 Pet 2:24; Heb 3:1-19; Heb 4:1-13; Heb 10:23-31; Heb 12:1-2]

1 Corinthians 10:6-11 ESV


Now these things took place as examples for us, that we might not desire evil as they did. Do you fully grasp the meaning of what that just said? It is saying to us who profess faith in Jesus Christ that if we do as they did that we also will be overthrown and we will face the wrath of God and we will not enter into God’s eternal rest, i.e. we will not inherit eternal life with God.

And now we are given more specifics as to the types of things which they did which were displeasing to God. They were idolaters and they were revelers. They followed after the things and the pleasures of this world rather than following after God and his holiness and righteousness. Their “god” was not the God of heaven and earth, but a man-created god who would permit them to live in open rebellion against the Lord without consequence.

And this same “god” is the one that many professers of faith in Jesus are following today. For they are being convinced that they can merely profess faith in Jesus (once) and now all their sins are forgiven and heaven is guaranteed them when they die regardless of how they live. And so many of them are living in open rebellion against the Lord in the practicing of sexual immorality, revelry, and idolatry, in grumbling against God, and in putting Christ to the test by their sinful behaviors, taking his grace for granted.

But again, these things happened to them and they were written down for our instruction so that we might not desire and practice the evil that they desired and practiced, so that we don’t also end up dying in our sins and not entering into God’s eternal rest. So, we need to take these warnings seriously, for they are here to warn us of the consequences of sinful rebellion against our Lord and of refusal to bow to him in obedience.

Should I Not Preach Jesus

An Original Work / July 4, 2013
Based off 1 Corinthians 9:16-10:13

Woe to me should I not preach Jesus.
I’m compelled to preach the full gospel.
I make myself a slave to ev’ryone
To win their hearts to Christ.
All this I do for my Lord Jesus,
And for the sake of His Name;
Do it for the sake of His gospel,
So that I, its blessings gain.

Scripture notates the sins of others;
Written down for us as examples
To keep us from setting our hearts
On evil as did those of old.
Do not worship other gods of man;
Do not give your hearts to them;
Not partake in immorality.
Do not test your Lord and King.

So, be careful if you think you are
Standing firm in your faith in Jesus.
God has given his word to warn us,
So through faith we will not fall.
No temptation has o’ertaken you
Except what is commonplace.
God is faithful to not let you be
Tempted past what you can bear.
He gives the way of escape.

Well, on April 6, 2011, thirteen years ago, the Lord Jesus gave me my very first song to write. And then on January 16, 2020, the Lord gave me the last of the 185 songs that he gave me to write for his purposes, and for his glory and praise. These songs were to be an encouragement to me and to the body of Christ and to go along with the daily devotions that he gave me to write, too. But by this point my voice was giving out, and it was getting harder and harder for me to write the songs, for then I was 70 years old, and writing and recording songs was a long and tedious process, for sure.

But I am ever so thankful to the Lord for giving me this treasure, not only of the music, but of these messages contained in these song lyrics. For the Lord has used these songs so many times throughout the past 13 years to encourage my heart and to speak his truth to me and to help me to know the direction that he wanted me to go. For they are all so rich in biblical truth, much like the Psalms, and some of them actually came from the Psalms, too. And many of these lyrics came straight from the Scriptures. And so they have been such a blessing in my life.

When I Was Walking

An Original Work / January 16, 2020

When I was walking along the way,
My Lord was with me, and He did say,
“My child I’m with you. I hear you pray,
‘Oh, help me, Lord! Need You today!’”

He is my friend, near to the end.
Gently leads me. His servant be.
He helps me pray – knows what to say.
He’s all I need. On Him I feed.

When I am wond’ring of what to do,
He gently leads me to what is truth.
He is my helper. He strengthens me.
When I’m in want, supplies my need.

He comforts me with all His love.
Gives me His grace from heav’n above.
I heed His call to watch and pray,
To guard my heart throughout each day.

When He is calling to come to Him,
To let Him lead you, trust Him within,
How will you answer to Him today?
Will you say, “Yes, Lord, have your way”?

Do not neglect to let Him in,
Cleanse you from sin, made new within.
Leave all your sin, obey your Lord,
Trust in His Word – His mighty Sword.

Senior Anne Flanagan starts a modeling career at age 70 – SWNS

A retiree says she spent her life with low self-esteem, but now she can be seen on catwalks after a stranger approached her on the street, wanting to take a photo.

Irishwoman Anne Flanagan had never modeled before and always thought of herself as a serious person.

But after a chance meeting in January with a photographer in Belfast, she found her confidence—and a desire to have a little fun.

“I saw someone coming towards me with a camera,” said the 70-year-old, who is always happy to help a tourist by giving directions.

Christopher Ward didn’t need directions. He told her he runs the Instagram page Model Strangers, and wanted to snap her photo. Once he showed her the account, she said yes—and the post went viral.


Anne was delighted by the commenters saying how empowering the photos made them feel. Soon, people began recognizing her on the street.

“I was stopped in a coffee shop, and this lady said, ‘are you Anne?’

“They love seeing an older person being given a platform.”

SWNS reported she was “quickly snapped up by a modeling agency, a clothing brand, and a shopping centre fashion show”.

Are you past the point of weary
Is your burden weighing heavy
Is it all too much to carry
Let me tell you ‘bout my Jesus
Do you feel that empty feeling
‘Cause shame’s done all its stealing
And you’re desperate for some healing
Let me tell you ‘bout my Jesus

He makes a way where there ain’t no way
Rises up from an empty grave
Ain’t no sinner that He can’t save
Let me tell you ‘bout my Jesus
His love is strong and His grace is free
And the good news is I know that He
Can do for you what He’s done for me
Let me tell you ‘bout my Jesus
And let my Jesus change your life
Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah, amen, amen

Who can wipe away the tears
From broken dreams and wasted years
And tell the past to disappear
Let me tell you ‘bout my Jesus
And all the wrong turns that you would
Go and undo if you could
Who can work it all for your good
Let me tell you about my Jesus

Who would take my cross to Calvary
Pay the price for all my guilty
Who would care that much about me
Let me tell you ‘bout my Jesus

This is awesome. NYC is one of the most secular cities, so it pleases me that Christians can still make an impact in a dark place. We can be the light.

It would be helpful to read this in the context of the whole of 1 Corinthians to get a better grasp on what Paul’s message was here to the church, overall. For much of what Paul was speaking to the church about was with regard to their walks of faith in the Lord Jesus, and how, in so many areas, it was not matching up to God’s will and purpose for the lives of those who profess to know him as their Lord and Savior.

So, he first dealt with them in regard to the divisions that were among them and how they were raising one man (teacher) above another. And he spoke with them in saying to them that he could not address them as spiritual people, but as people of the flesh, for there was jealously and strife among them due to them raising one man above another and because they were, thus, becoming followers of man rather than followers of Jesus Christ.

He also dealt with them in regard to blatant sexual immorality within the church and how they were tolerating it and that they were proud. And so he instructed them in what they ought to do to reconcile this situation and to discipline the unrepentant sinner, and in what they needed to do to “cleanse out the old leaven” among them so that they were no longer tolerating such blatant immorality, but so they were living righteously before God.

But I don’t believe this one man was the only one engaged in sexual immorality, or that sexual immorality alone was their only offense against God, for then Paul went on to warn them against lawsuits against one another and against wronging and defrauding each other. And he said that those who practice sexual immorality, idolatry, adultery, homosexuality, thievery, drunkenness, and more, will not inherit the kingdom of God.

So, in the context of all of that, and more that I did not cover here, Paul wrote these words about running a race. So what was the message he was giving to the church here?

Now many people credit Paul with being the one who penned the book of Hebrews, as he was carried along by the Holy Spirit. So I am going to go with that and to say that Paul, thus, is the one who talked about the race that we are all to be running as followers of Christ in Hebrews 12:1-2. There he spoke of a spiritual race that God set before all of us to run. And there we are instructed that we must lay aside every weight (hindrance), and sin which clings so closely (sounds like addictive sin), so that we can run this race with endurance, looking to Jesus who endured the cross for our sake.

Well, that goes right along with the race he is talking about here in 1 Corinthians 9:24-27, too. And it fits right along with the gospel message that Jesus Christ and Paul and the other NT apostles taught, which is progressive salvation: We are saved (past), we are being saved (present active), and we will be saved (future) when Jesus Christ returns to take his faithful ones to be with him for eternity, which is when our salvation will be complete, and only if we continue in Christ and in obedience to him.

[Rom 1:18-32; Rom 2:6-8; Rom 6:1-23; Rom 8:1-14,24; Rom 12:1-2; Rom 13:11; 1 Co 1:18; 1 Co 6:9-10,19-20; 1 Co 10:1-22; 1 Co 15:1-2; 2 Co 5:10,15,21; 2 Tim 1:8-9; Gal 5:16-21; Gal 6:7-8; Eph 2:8-10; Eph 4:17-32; Eph 5:3-6; Php 2:5-11: Col 1:21-23; Col 3:5-17; Tit 2:11-14; Heb 3:1-19; Heb 4:1-13; Heb 9:28; Heb 10:23-31; Heb 12:1-2]

For that is what I believe is the message here. When Paul said that we must run this race in order to obtain the prize (our salvation from sin and eternal life with God), he intended to give us the same message which he gave over and over all throughout his writings which were authored by the Spirit of God. We have to walk in obedience to our Lord and to his commands in holy living and no longer in sin or we will not inherit eternal life with God.

And what was Paul’s own personal response to this message that he taught? He disciplined his body (his whole being) and he kept it under the control of the Holy Spirit, lest after preaching to others he should be disqualified for the prize at the end of the race. And that is the gospel message that Paul taught, that if we walk according to the Spirit, we have eternal life with God, but if we walk according to the flesh, and if sin is what we practice, and not righteousness and obedience, we will not inherit eternal life with God.

Do Your Best

Love You, Father, love You, Lord.

Endure hardship for your Lord.
Your commander, live to please.
You’ll receive the victor’s crown.
By the rules, run in the race.
Your Lord, you’ll see face to face.

Of your life, He is the head.
Endure all for the elect.

Love You, Father, love You, Lord.
If we died, we live with Him.
If we last, with Him we’ll reign.
If we disown Him today,
He will have to look away.
Even if we faithless be,
Faithful He’ll remain always.
He cannot disown Himself.
He’s our Lord and Savior, King.
He will reign o’er ev’rything.

Love You, Father, love You, Lord.
Do your best; present yourself
As one who’s approved by God.
Work as one who’s not ashamed;
Rightly share the Word of Truth.
Wander not from what you know.
Destroy not the faith of some.
God’s foundation; it stands firm.
The Lord knows those who are His:
Those who turn from wickedness.

Love You, Father, love You, Lord.
In a house are wood and clay,
Gold and silver, all array.
Some are noble, some are bad –
Cleanse your life, and you’ll be glad;
Useful to the Master’s work.
A pure heart – in righteousness,
Pursue faith and love and peace.
Bad desires you want to flee.
Gentle servant you must be.
