Hey
Debbie, I think you are absolutely right! We should have respect towards God. Just look in the first book in the Bible, all that he made was for us. :) I am grateful that we have a loving God.

Dear Faith Coke,
Is it okay to have those things, or do we have to not have them to get into Heaven? I think you were meaning that you should not have anything above God, right?

Verse 17 The Lord will joy over us with singing - wow wow and another wow

I love the book of Psalms. It cuts to my very soul when I read it. I have been struggling for several years and this book resonates with me.

As we may be scorned. We must ask God to make us aware when we are scornful concerning others or holding them in disdain or derision. Always remembering It is Gods Mercy and Grace that allows us to be accepted in the beloved. Help us Lord to respect and pray for all men.

I am using this for my bible study...have it on a 40" screen and very easy on these old eyes...Thank You Ken

Irene 123 Gal.1:23 Paul is speaking of " time past " when he was, past tense in the Jews religion. He at that time in " time past" was an enemy of the Jewish believers. There were no Gentiles then and there was no Body of Christ mentioned until Christ saved Paul and poured out his grace on Paul. A whole new thing happened. The risen glorified Lord in heaven gave only Paul this new body of truth.

Proverbs 16:9 "In their hearts humans plan their course, but the Lord establishes their steps." LOOKING BACK OVER MY LIFE I KNOW THAT GOD HAS ALREADY ESTABLISHED MY STEPS NO MATTER HOW MANY TIMES I MADE THE WRONG STEPS. TRULY HIS GRACE IS SUFFICIENT IN MY LIFE! REMEMBER: THE LORD HAS THE BEST PLANS FOR OUR LIVES RATHER WE KNOW IT OR NOT! AMEN! GLORY BE TO GOD!!!

I am so greatful of the entire chapter of psalms 100 for l must praise and give thanks to my god because he is so good to me

It works for me !

V.25 - I, read and heard this used in preaching, but not really expounded upon - until tonight at Bible study. I've been back with the Lord now for 2 1/2 yrs; backslid forv34 yrs. So, my 2 boys grew up without the Lord; just drugs 'n alcohol. Tonight it was explained these are the yrs. the cankerworm, locust, palmerworm have taken - THAT CAN NOW BE RESTORED!!! Thank-you Jesus.

verse 38, we must show by the way we live that we accepted Christ. people must see you and believe that Jesus do change lives. we are ambassadors let us present Christ with our work, character, attitude and behaviour.

Joshua 14: 8, 9, 14; Caleb didn't inherit his mtn. because he was a 'brave' man, nor a good man, nor a man who worshipped God; lots of people are these things, but what they don't do is - "wholly follow the Lord God." There's more to 'wholly' than most people know - or even want to know; and it's ALL found in His word. But most people don't have time to read His word; sports, soaps, etc.

As we use faith we should see Christ and the church that he gave his life for in a new light. God's Word ignites our hearts for worship and for reaching out to our world with the Gospel. The same Holy Spirit dwells in us and gives us power to be a light and impact in this dark world.

Thats Psalm 141:3.

GOD is the Same ....yesterday...today and forever.. The HOLY GHOST WHICH WAS SENT TO BELIEVERS IN THE UPPER ROOM....WAS THE SAME SPIRIT JESUS...SAID...ITS EXPEDITE THAT I GO A WAY....FOR IF I GO AWAY...THE COMFORTER CAN NOT COME...THEY WERE INSTRUCTED YO GO TO JERUSALEM.... AND TARRY...OR WAIT.......UNTIL THEY BE INDUED...OR FILLED WITH POWER FROM ON HIGH.......THIS POWER IS....IS THE INDWELLING POWER OF GOD....THAT SAVES....SEALS...US UNTO REDEMPTION...DAY THIS POWER LEADS ...GUIDES....BY FAITH... POWER TO DO THE WILL IF GOD...THATS THE POWER THESSALONIANS 1:5 IS EXPLAINING IT IS FOR EVERY BELIEVER...WITHOUT THE SPIRIT OF CHRIST....WE ARE NOT HIS....

Study His Word from Genesis to Revelation's show yourself approved. It is your safeguard so if others miss quote Scripter or print it wrong you will know. Stay near the Cross. Bring others with you.

"Obey God and leave all the consequences to Him" Amen!

Vs. 4

'traditions' cont.- neither did the Acts church change because of this heresy; if you research it you will find Jesus church never died; it has always been - somewhere. Jesus would not let His church die; He wouldn't be GOD if He did; in fact there would be no God, His creation wouldn't be here, nor us. There is a God and He is true, He cannot lie.

To M. Balathieng - nor does the word of God mentioned John the Baptist changing clothes.

To M. Balatiheng - Where do you see that John the Baptist at a later time ate people ate? The Bible has NOTHING to say about what he ate a ta later time. Be careful - Rev. 22:18-19.

Matt. 28:19; Acts 2:38; Acts 4:12; Rev. 22:4 - "..... and His NAME shall be in their foreheads." All 4 of these scriptures proclaim this ONE name of Jesus; not 3 titles (aspects) of God. Jesus Himself told His Apostles/disciples to baptize in the NAME; and in Acts 2:38 that is exactly what Peter AND the other 11 did: they proclaimed the name of Jesus for remission of sins in water baptism.

V. 4 - ".....the number which heard and believed was about 5,000." Acts 2:39 or 40 - ".....about 3,000 were added to the church." These nos. sound fantastic and of course these nos. don't happen today. BUT - they do!! The church is all around the WORLD now, and these same nos. are going on today, albeit over a wider area.

V.7 - this healing was a 'miracle'; a miracle healing is instant. Most healings are - just 'normal' ones, BUT - they are healings from Jesus. People may say, the meds healed me. But - meds have no power of their own; ALL power is of Jesus; His is the power in the meds. Jesus healed me of flu/pneumonia recently, but it wasn't a miracle; it took 3wks. with meds and the hosp. But- Jesus did the work.

Does anyone on here know that it was at least15 years after Jesus established His church in Acts ch. 2 that the epistles even BEGAN to be written, the 'epistles' being all the books after Acts. So where did all the scriptures come from that the apostles and disciples use to witness to people during those 15 yrs? Answer - from their knowledge of the O.T. and Jesus' 3 yr. ministry with them.

To Jerry - How were you baptized? in the'words' of Matt.28:19 or in the NAME of Jesus of Acts 2:38? There is a difference. note - JESUS very words of Matt. 28:19, "baptizing them in the NAME of....." father, son, and holy ghost are His- titles; His name is JESUS. Acts 4:12 - "for here is NONE other name under heaven whereby we MUST be saved."

To BJ - Matt. 28:19 to Acts 2:38. Baptist churches are trinitarian; Matt. 28:19 is a oneness scripture: "..... baptizing them in the NAME of....."; this is what Peter did in Acts 2:38. Ex. 6:4 and many oneness verses from Isa. ch. 43 - 45,46. They are scattered thru theses chapters; you need to, with fervent prayer, seeking for his truth, read them.

if we are truly born again our hearts are changed thats what nicedemos didn;t understand lots of people are led by there flesh not there hearts the thought today is we confess salvation now we can do whatever we want that is wilful Sin ask ourselves would christ do this or that the apostle paul said follow me As i follow Christ be in the world but not of the world not partakers of there sins
