Christian Living, The 10 Commandments

Number 8

Someone suggested to me recently that the 10 Commandments were out-dated, not enough law for this society. I beg to lovingly differ.

Conflict in point: 15) “Do not steal. Exodus 20 

Not camel. Not lamb. Not land. Not tent. Not wife. Not husband. Not children. Not internet information. Not cable TV service. Not medical information. Not money. Not car. Not personal identity. 

What part about ‘do not steal’ do we not understand? 

Here’s a few question to clarify.
Did you earn it?
Did you buy it?
Did you create it?
Did someone of their own non-coerced volition give it to you because they loved you and/or wanted to help you? 
No? 
Then if you take it you are a thief! You broke the law. You stole it! 

Get it? Got it! Good! 

GOD gave us 10 commandments. Man refused to obey them; so man made more laws and is still making laws. And NOT ONE OF THOSE LAWS has EVER transformed ONE human being from being a law-breaker to a law-keeper. 

24 Wherefore the law was our schoolmaster to bring us unto Christ, that we might be justified by faith. Galatians 3 [source]

Life example: There’s a woman. When the speed limit is 45, she drives 45; not because she doesn’t want to go faster; not because she is afraid she will get a ticket from a police officer; but because she loves JESUS and He said to obey every law that does not violate HIM. (Acts 5:29) So she does. Not perfectly, but consistently.

Blunt Love

First we pray for the Holy Spirit’s assistance.

Then we begin a list of every portion of Scripture that we know we are violating and why it is that thus far we have refused to repent and cease to violate those portions of our Father’s Word. 

Bluntly it came and lovingly it remains.

Psalm 119:9 Wherewithal shall a young man cleanse his way? by taking heed thereto according to thy word. Ps 119:9

This is the random verse that came to me this morning via my Phone App – Daily Bible Inspiration by JoyVerse after publishing this post last night.  I am thinking not a coincident. ❤️

Christian Living, Prayer Requests

I am privileged to know a family in need of our prayers:
Will, his Mom,Sisters,Grandparents and his Dad. 
Please just mention their names, ABBA knows the need.

James 5:16 (KJV)
16 . . . The effectual fervent prayer of a righteous man availeth much.

Do you  have anyone in your circle of family and friends that is without suffering? No? Me either. It only takes a moment of reviewing the faces and all kinds of illnesses and hurts confront our peace. Trusting our LORD and MESSIAH is our hope, our sanity in this crazy, hurt filled world.

Hebrews 12:1-3 (CJB)

12 So then, since we are surrounded by such a great cloud of witnesses, let us, too, put aside every impediment — that is, the sin which easily hampers our forward movement — and keep running with endurance in the contest set before us, 2 looking away to the Initiator and Completer of that trusting, Yeshua — who, in exchange for obtaining the joy set before him, endured execution on a stake as a criminal, scorning the shame, and has sat down at the right hand of the throne of God. 3 Yes, think about him who endured such hostility against himself from sinners, so that you won’t grow tired or become despondent.
