21 | Repentant robber crucified with Christ | Luke 23:39 | ItsMe | 160726 | ||
39 And one of the malefactors which were hanged railed on him, saying, If thou be Christ, save thyself and us. But the other answering rebuked him, saying, Dost not thou fear God, seeing thou art in the same condemnation? And we indeed justly; for we receive the due reward of our deeds: but this man hath done nothing amiss. And he said unto Jesus, Lord, remember me when thou comest into thy kingdom. And Jesus said unto him, Verily I say unto thee, To day shalt thou be with me in paradise. In Matt 27, and Luke 23 it doesn't distinguish between a right or left side for the thief. | ||||||
22 | Jesus has two nature but yet he is one. | John 4:24 | ItsMe | 163245 | ||
Acts 20:28 Keep watch over yourselves and all the flock of which the Holy Spirit has made you overseers.Be shepherds of the church of God, which he bought with his own blood. This verse is referring to Jesus the Christ - that came and died. God has three natures or personas, Father, Son and Holy Ghost - and yet He is God - One God. Jesus' two natures of human and God, were separated - at the cross He left His humaness and again become God in His Spiritual form. |

23 | Worship service or performance? | John 4:24 | ItsMe | 163256 | ||
Hm-m-m...sometimes I feel moved to applaud. I don't always. Sometimes others applaud when I don't. Sometimes nobody has performed but someone feels moved and we applaud Him. I think we are to edify each other so applauding (showing appreciation) doesn't seem wrong. We have been known to applaud the collection too. I figure if I can applaud my favorite football team, I can surely applaud Him or someone singing for/to Him. I do feel uncomfortable when people sort of cheer. Applause used to make me uncomfortable. Oh - I remember, in Psalms - something like "clap your hands, all you people, shout onto God with a voice of...(praise? triumph?)" It's Psalms 47. And in Isaiah it said the trees would clap (I loved that as a child). So, I guess I have now convinced myself - that applause is OK! His Servant... |

24 | Worship service or performance? | John 4:24 | ItsMe | 163261 | ||
Well you have stirred up some interersting comments. One girlfriend told me she agreed. They believe in quiet in worship. She's a Quaker. Another co-worker said they rarely applaud BUT they don't exhibit those emotions in other places either - because there is no "sanctuary" - except our bodies. In her church it is the auditorium. She attends a Church of Christ. My dear friend, from Jamaica said - (a very reserved person) - oh my goodness yes - clap - sing, shout joyfully when you worship Him. (I don't know her church affiliation). So - I'm thinking it is up to us to worship Him and that as long as it is worship - we can be moved in different ways. I agree that many churches seem to be doing anything and everything to get people inside. I saw on TV recently that one church actually had a Starbucks in the outside area before entering the sanctuary/auditorium. (we don't allow food or drink in our main area of worship). I think many are catering to the people not the Creator. His Sevant... |

26 | is smoking a sin? | 1 Cor 6:12 | ItsMe | 161257 | ||
1 Corinthians 10:31 sums it up - "Whether therefore ye eat, or drink, or whatsoever ye do, do all to the glory of God." There are many verses about doing things that are harmful to our bodies (His temple). I can always go back to this one though - it's how I quit smoking. It wasn't hurting anybody but me - and then I realized - it did not glorify God, it took away from my witness. And bringing up the over eating issue - one wrong won't justify another. If I lie but I see my neighbor steal and I point that out - well, we are back to Matt 7:3 - Why do you see the splinter in your brothers eye but don't see the wooden beam in your own eye." If you have any concern over something you are doing - does it glorify God? Also, is the Holy Spirit trying to speak to you about the issue. I've found when I have asked - if it's wrong, let me know - I almost always feel His clarification quickly. Sometimes I almost hear Him say - "If you have to ask..." On the other hand, if you are asking about something being a sin, because someone else is doing it - remember the beam verse. Pray for them but don't point that finger. |

27 | Freedom | 1 Cor 6:12 | ItsMe | 161259 | ||
My Freedom comes in my total commitment to Him. Doesn't that sound strange? Being totally bound to Him, gives me freedom? John 8:32 - You shall know the Truth, and the Truth shall set you free. (I capitalized). The more I know Him and about Him, the freer I am. I think there is no freedom in this world aside from this. We are always bound by others requirements, expectations, rules, laws, etc. When people say I am free can can do what I want - they are not free. And they aren't doing what they want. I've been there. I was following the way the world wanted me to be. Like the song says - "This is what it means to be free, this is what if feels to know that I am forgiven." | ||||||
28 | Need help with adultry and remarriage. | 1 Cor 7:11 | ItsMe | 161907 | ||
First, let me address the part "even if we ask for repentance..." - historically, and I think scripture backs it - divorce is the total disolving of the marriage. If one divorces on scriptural grounds, it is gone. You can remarry. Second, this does not give a free ride - but if you are a Christian, and your first marriage was before you were a Christian, you may not be bound by the same standards. We are held to higher standards than the world. I'm not really clear on what you are asking otherwise. Let me tell you this, if you are seeking His will, and are honest about it, He will show you what to do, in His timing. Also neither adultery nor divorce are unforgivable sins. Many people do it wrong. Marry wrong. Divorce wrong. Many people stay in marriages that they could get out of. Pray, read His word (it appears you are doing that), and honestly seek His will. Whatever you need revealed, will be revealed. | ||||||
29 | God's Love | Eph 5:1 | ItsMe | 161262 | ||
If you pray, read His word, try to live like Christ, love starts coming quite naturally. I am surprised sometimes and how my feelings for certain people have changed - and I don't know when or why? I don't think we practice sacrificing for others. It just becomes a part of us. Someone told me once - remember JOY. Put Jesus (J) first, then others (O), and yourself (Y) last - and you will experience a joy you never thought possible. Pray each morning that God help you show His love that day. In no time at all you will realize He is answering that prayer. | ||||||
