Shortsighted and Selfish

9/23/2015

A lot of times, we want blessings from God, but we are so shortsighted and selfish that we only see the present and have no concerns about our future generations.

God wants to bless us, but not with blessings that are going to die with us. He wants to bless us with blessings that will outlive us and live on in our descendants for generations to come.

HAVE YOU BEEN SELFISH IN SEEKING THE LORD'S BLESSINGS OR HAVE YOU BEEN GENEROUS BY ASKING HIM TO EXTEND YOUR BLESSINGS INTO THE LIVES OF YOUR GENERATIONS TO COME?

(READ THE STORY OF NOAH AND ABRAHAM IN GENESIS CHAPTERS 6 -8 AND 12:1-5)

Evidence of The Existence of God

If you were raised in a home or society that did not promote the teachings of the God of the Bible, you are still without excuse for not recognizing Him and seeking to learn all you can about Him through His teachings. I say this because the existence of God is evident in everything that He has made.

Romans 1:20 (NIRV)
Ever since the world was created it has been possible to see the qualities of God that are not seen. I’m talking about his eternal power and about the fact that he is God. Those things can be seen in what he has made. So people have no excuse for what they do.

PEOPLE EXPLORE OUTER SPACE...THE WORLD BEYOND OUR ATMOSPHERE; THE DEPTH OF THE OCEAN...AS FAR AS MAN-MADE MACHINE WOULD ALLOW THEM TO GO; MOUNTAINS AND CAVES SO HIGH AND SO DEEP THAT ONLY A SPECIAL FEW WOULD DARE TAKE THE CHALLENGE - BUT WOULD NOT EXPLORE THE WORD OF GOD TO ACTUALLY DISCOVER THE ONE WHO CREATED THEM ALL..

IF YOU TAKE ADVANTAGE OF THE OPPORTUNITY TO GET TO KNOW THE DESIGNER OF THE WORLD...YOU WOULD HAVE MORE RESPECT AND APPRECIATION FOR HIM AND HIS CREATION.

I did a review of my post and realized that it wasn't as clear or fair and here is my expansion of it..... There are parts of the world where the word of God is not readily available but for us, who live in areas where the word is available, we have a personal choice and responsibility to learn all we can about God ....if we say we believe in Him.

God's Law or Man's Law?

9/21/2015

Just how God made the animals male and female so that they could complement each other and reproduce after their kind, He made human beings male and female to reproduce after their kind.

Eve was not just a woman to Adam; God gave her to Adam as his wife. It was at this point that marriage between a male and female was instituted by God.

IMAGINE WHAT WOULD HAVE HAPPENED IF GOD HAD CREATED TWO MALES OR TWO FEMALES...THEY WOULD HAVE BEEN THE ONLY TWO HUMAN BEINGS EVER TO WALK THE FACE OF THIS EARTH AND YOU AND I WOULD NEVER EVER HAVE BEEN BORN.

WHOSE LAW ARE YOU GOING TO FOLLOW...GOD WHO CREATED YOU OR ANOTHER HUMAN BEING LIKE YOU, WHO WAS ALSO CREATED BY GOD?

The Difference Between Man and Animals

The difference between man and everything else that God created is that God breathed His breath - which is the breath of life - into his nostrils and it was only after God breathed the breath of life into the nostrils of the man that he became a living soul.

Becoming a living soul means that, unlike the animals who were not given life by the breath of God, man was given an intellect and had the ability to think, reason, make choices and have a personal relationship with God.

WHAT ARE YOU DOING WITH THE INTELLECT GOD GAVE YOU? ARE YOU WORKING IT OR ARE YOU JUST OPERATING ON BASIC ANIMAL INSTINCTS?

The The Purpose of Your Life

If you do not understand the purpose of your life, you will live your life just like the waves in the ocean - they go wherever the wind blows. Sometimes it's a gentle breeze that makes them sound like music when they flow to the shore and other times they are like angry monsters, looking for the next prey to destroy.

Unlike the waves that go wherever the wind carries them, we have to fight against the waves of the negative circumstance of life . Instead of allowing them to crush us and destroy us on the rocks and shores of life, we have to learn how to use their powerful forces to mold us to accomplish the purpose for which we were created.
